( < . ~ - - If not, the number of units c.ould simply be adjusted to conform (or a variance would be required. 4. In seneral, we suggest that the larger stf\lcture adjusted to the site as the larger scale clfCWings will show, C<lrtshtute a desirable development prcposal. The structure is designed b) tho Hodne/<;tagerberg PartneB, is well done, and will constitute a desirable asset to the area and th~ Village as Q whole. s. Directly south of the certer of this site there is a village pork, which was integrated into the entire site design in the initial proposal in 1967. A substantial portion of the property in question, consisting of approximately the westelly onc~-quarter of the area, i~ proposed to be integrated with the existing village park property. It is h'~ly desirable that this be don. inasmuch as this westerly quarter of the R-3A pi'operty ccntains a nice pond and tree area which sho'Jld 1000ically be a ~rt of the overall open space in the area, This open space is bei"9 used as a port of the density calculations in arriving at the 207 units propCied. Discussing the hondling of this open space with the applicant, he indictttes his desire to be able to develop this fand so that it would constitute 0 real aesth~tic asset. After this has ~een done the opplicant suggest$ that the land might be given ta the Village either by easement or fee mle for the purpose of making It a permanent port of the overgll park. Though the Village then boroones responsible for the maintenance of this area, we sugoest that it would represent a real public asset to the Grea as much or more so than other public parks in the village. To make this work the best it is importont that both parks be rough graded ot the same time durins the development stage. At the time the overall plans were accepted, the applicant agreed verbally to accomplish this joint graclltlg so as to achieve the maximum desirable effect. We sugg~t that the Village then time its development investment for the~tion of the pork at the $Ome time as the applicant develo~ its portion. l:!!e suggest therefore, that the development plan be approved with a condition that the opplical'lt grade both sites in question in accordance with an agreed upon .,ark developinen! plan and that the applicant transfer title or easement rights to the Village with some reasonable- time limit in the future. The limitation on time might well be related to that point when three-quarters of the totul 31 acres has been developed with perhaps a stipulation that it not exceed J yearsJ 6. In general, we feel that the overall development plan il'lvolving the 31 acres represents 0 distin<;t anet to the VII loge and on opportunity for a su~tontial improvement over the old grid Iron plat. Obv lou~ly, dur ing the peuod of It$ development it will be essential to have maximum cooperation between the aoplic:ant and the Vllloge. Thi~ f.,~t development ~toge represents tl,e fiut opportunity to put this cooperation Into effect, . . -\ coJ " ~1 :tl ~. ;j ;1 i1 , I ~i " 1! ~ {" 1~fj ~; "'~C lJf: ~~! ,~: of. ..;, ;:; l ...... ~. ~~ ;~ ~. ..
