• <br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />March 10, 2004 <br />Page 17 <br />were surprised to find out that this was considered open space. She stated they did not <br />have an issue with the parking spots, but recommended they put in net lawn. She noted <br />Mr. Schmitt's people had dug the large hole while he was out of town. She asked if they <br />could do this in a more gradual process. <br />Mr. Smyser stated he would reexamine the open space calculation. <br />Mr. Schmitt stated the hole that was dug was done when he was out of town and he was <br />initially told that only three feet would be removed, but more dirt was taken out than he <br />anticipated and they had the proper grading permit to do this. He stated they were <br />working on getting the dirt to fill this. With respect to the easement issue, the plat was <br />done by North Suburban Development and the drainage easement was never graded. He <br />noted they had dug this out many times to allow for drainage. He anticipated they would <br />lose two units (possibly units 16 and 19), which would allow them to deal with the guest <br />parking areas and move some of the buildings away from the lot lines. <br />Mr. Rafferty stated he was not in favor of only removing two buildings and he wanted the <br />density to be less. Mr. Schmitt stated they were under the moderate density requirements <br />and this was an economic issue. <br />Chair Schaps asked them to consider removing unit 4 and the two units when they first <br />drove in. <br />Mr. Nelson asked them to consider rezoning this to R -2 instead of R -3. <br />Mr. Tralle made a MOTION to recommend continuing the public hearing to the April <br />meeting to allow applicant the opportunity to revise the plans and was supported by Mr. <br />Root. Motion carried 5 -0. <br />VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />A.
