• • PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD September 14, 1988 explained that problems with overall drainage and with park land and park trails remained to be solved. It was also stated by the planner that because of the rolling topography of the land, the wetland areas, and the waterworks easement through the property, that a planned unit development could be justified. The concept plan showed some lots measuring less than the 13,825 square feet required in the R -1X district. The applicant was agreeable to building to R -1X standards. Board member Joyer stated the PUD concept was a method to circumvent the R -1X requirements. Mr. Irwin did not like the narrow lots. Mr. Prokop didn't like the PUD concept and wanted the subdivision coordinated with Woodridge I. Mr. Prokop felt the road location was poor and questioned the dead -end streets. At 8:20 p.m. board member Nelson arrived. The board members agreed that 1) R -1X lot sizes should be maintained, 2) a drainage plan completed for the area, 3) park issues be resolved by the Park Board, and 4) turn- around issues be resolved. DISCUSSION OF WOODRIDGE ESTATES I PRELIMINARY PLAT: The city planner and the city engineer presented this informational item. Issues included park land and an overall drainage plan for the area. Pete Rosenthal, developer of Rohavic Oaks, was present and stated that traffic from the proposed subdivision would enter Rohavic Oaks. Dave Vickers, a partner in Rohavic Oaks, suggested eliminating the north road serving as an exit from Woodridge. He questioned why the city was favoring this developer. Boardmember Nelson stated the road was needed for safety reasons providing more than one point of ingress and egress to the site. Mr. Joyer stated the road was needed to tie the neighborhoods together. Mr. Prokop stated it was necessary to extend and provide maintenance for utilities and for traffic flow. Mr. Irwin concurred with other members and stated a need for the north road.
