1 1 1 Design Review Board December 12, 1990 Dan Boxrud recommends approval of the preliminary plat providing the variance is approved. Ron Zorwater approached the board. He is a neighbor and was concerned about who would pay for the street improvements. Mr. Boxrud explained that the street assessment should not affect any other homes. The Historical Society evaluated the site and determined that there are some indian artifacts within the development and in some cases asked that homes be placed in a certain areas of the lot to avoid disrupting the land. The Historical Society is also aware of the road placement. John Bergeson added that as the design review board is concerned the applicant has met all the requirements and they cannot deny the application. The only question remaining is the cul -de -sac length. Alan LaTourneau - 2018 Otter Lake Road is concerned about the development. He stated that the 10x10 culvert would not allow his 14' pontoon boat access to the lake. Mr. Boxrud stated that with the 10' culvert there would be approximately an average of 6' clearance. Fred Chase stated the property owners have to work out the creek issue between themselves. It is not the boards decision. MOTION: John Bergeson moved to recommend to the city council approval of a preliminary plat for Oak Brook Peninsula, Application #90 -06 contingent upon the following comments from the City Engineer: 1. A determination must be made that a 2,700 foot long cul- de -sac can be granted a variance to the 500 foot maximum length specified by city code. 2. Final design must meet all permitting agency requirements. 3. The street must be constructed to city standards, with deviations in design detail allowed by the public works director where environmentally appropriate. 4. Additional percolation tests must be taken before preparation of a final plat. 5. Minimum basement elevation should be determined as 4 feet above the water table as measured, or elevation 915 as a minimum. 4
