1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />- 079 <br />COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 8, 1991 <br />roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. <br />Consideration and approval of the Preliminary Plat for Oak Brook <br />Peninsula - Mayor Bisel reminded the Council and the audience <br />that the public hearing was conducted on January 28, 1991 and the <br />public hearing was closed. He asked that a spokes person be <br />appointed for the Otter Lake Home Owners Assn. to speak and bring <br />matters of information to the Council. Mayor Bisel asked that <br />the City Planner present the preliminary plat and his <br />recommendations and he also asked that the City Attorney give his <br />legal opinion. <br />Mr. Frank Kern, 2019 Otter Lake Drive, president of the Otter <br />Lake Home Owners Assn. asked the Council to deny the preliminary <br />plat of Oak Brook Peninsula. He noted that the present cul -de- <br />sac at the east end of Otter Lake Drive does not have a "turn <br />around ". The present plan for Oak Brook Peninsula calls for the <br />extension of Otter Lake Drive to be a private road with a private <br />bridge. He asked how drivers will be able to turn around where <br />the street becomes private? <br />Mr. Kern said that the developer does not have a DNR permit. He <br />has a permit for a culvert, however a bridge is planned and a <br />permit for a bridge has not been approved. Mr. Kern noted that <br />the street in Oak Brook Peninsula is planned to be a private <br />street. He asked what would prevent the Oak Brook Peninsula <br />Association from turning this street over to the City in a few <br />years. <br />Mr. Kern asked who will be responsible for road repair to Otter <br />Lake Drive. He noted that construction traffic on this road will <br />cause structural damage and asked if the residents along Otter <br />Lake Drive will be assessed for the repairs or will the City <br />assume the costs. Mr. Kern also asked that the developer be <br />required to take adequate perc tests at the proposed grades for <br />the homes. He noted that perc tests taken to this point have <br />been taken at the top of knolls. Mr. Kern noted that the <br />proposed street will be within five (5) feet of the high water <br />mark. He asked if another variance will be needed to construct <br />the street because of its proximity to the lake. Mr. Kern also <br />asked that findings of fact be given for each variance granted in <br />this matter. <br />Mr. Kern asked the Council to conduct another open hearing on the <br />preliminary plat. He said he felt that the plat has been <br />drastically changed since the first public hearing including a <br />different street and a different bridge. Mr. Kern asked that the <br />City deny the preliminary plat. He said he felt that all <br />consideration has been given to the developer and not to the <br />citizens. <br />PAGE 9 <br />
