Absent Misters Nadeau and Farrand. Attorney Locher was also absent due to illness. Mr. Marier was present as liaison to the Council. Mr. Shearen moved to accept the minutes of January 17, 1973 and the Special Minutes of February 8, 1973 as presented. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. The Public hearing for the repiatting of U. S. Lakes Addition #3 was opened at 8:20 P. M. Mr. Busch and Mr. Dielentheis were here to represent U. S. Lakes. Mr. Meyer, from Suburban Engineering was also present. Mr. McLean read the copies of the posted notices on the vacations of certain streets and the notic a for final plat hearings and on certain easements of drainage and utilities. Mr. McLean read the recommendations of the P & Z Board to U. S. Lakes at the October 18, 1973 meeting as follows: 1. Both applications be revised to provide for RI zoning on all lands covered in the two applications. 2. Delete all open space or park proposal from the two applications. 3. The Platting be revised to utilize those areas that were designated as open space. 4. Revise East Shadow Lake Drive to suggested layout provided by U. S. Lakes. 5. The development and sale of lots be restricted to 75 -80% of the presently serviced areas before proceeding to platted areas requiring extension of services. Mr. McLean then read a letter from Mr. Gotwald stating that the Plat was generally the same; some of the lots and streets had been changed in order to conform with the Village specifications. The streets also conform to our spec- ifications. Our Village ordinance requires that all street improvements be crranged for prior to the signing of the final plat. Mr. Gotwald will make the cost estimates when the plat has received final approval of the Council. He recommends approval of the plat. Mr. Karth had some questions as to the size of some of the lots. Mr. Meyer said that all lot areas were computerized and they had been very careful to conform to our requirements. He checked the lots in question and they were of legal size. There was a question concerning the lots on the cul -de -sacs which did not have 75' on the street as required by our zoning ordinance. There was much discussion on this since the chart in the zoning ordinance requires 75' at the set back line. They felt that the configuration of the lots on the cul -de -sacs would not conform to a 75' frontage and a 75' set back there is the Ooss ibi i:i ty .that the lots 'would then be oversized. Mr. Ke l l i ng noted that the approval of cul-de-sacs creates problems. He felt that we must make some absolute rules as to frontage on cul -de -sacs an%1 suggested that the Planning & Zoning Board establish some firrr requirements.
