PUBLIC NOTICE Clerk Rowe read aloud the published public notice regarding the public hearing for the proposed Annexation Agreement on the 55-Acre parcel generally located on the southeast corner of Route 173 and Savage Road. Clerk Rowe entered into the record the receipt of original Certification of Publication and original Notice Affidavit, including a list of property owners and copies of returned green cards.
JERRY CALLAGHAN Mr. Jerry Callaghan, attorney representing the petitioner, summarized changes to the draft annexation agreement. Since submitting the annexation agreement approximately one month ago, Neumann Homes has been advised of some changes by village staff and the village attorney which will be incorporated into a new draft and submitted to the village for consideration. The changes are:

B-3 zoning on the commercial parcel, light industrial use will be removed

Floor area ratio limitation incorporated. Since the current code does not have a floor area ratio, Robert Silhan, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building, recommended that one be incorporated into the annexation agreement. The recommendation is .30 which means thirty percent of the land can be building area.

Site plan review included.

Change R-1 on the south end to E-1 in event the portion of the site is not used for a school site.

Water connection fees will be included

Neumann Homes agrees with and will include the changes discussed.

JOHN LaMOTTE Mr. John LaMotte, commercial planner from The Lakota Group Inc., briefly discussed the proposed commercial portion, approximately 30 acres of the 55 acre site and the request to change the zoning on the comprehensive plan. Mr. LaMotte indicated the parcel location is good for commercial use and it will eventually be a signalized intersection. The idea is that this corner will service both Deercrest subdivision, the proposed Clublands subdivision and residents on the east side of town that are there today. In conjunction with that, the southern 25 acres of the 55 acre site is proposed for school use. Neumann Homes is currently in negotiations for that as a site for schools. The intention is that the schools will be next to the shopping area that creates compatibility with the nearby the residential areas. If the negotiations regarding the school area does not go, the zoning would revert back to E-1 as indicated earlier. Mr. LaMotte went on to say that from a planning standpoint this is a good location especially in anticipation of what is coming down the road as far as new development.
AARON GRUEN Mr. Aaron Gruen, Gruen and Gruen Associates, Urban Economic and Market Research Fiscal Analyst firm, discussed the fiscal impacts the proposed project would have on the village. Mr. Gruen explained that fiscal refers to the effect on the general fund, operating revenues and out going costs based on the floor area ratio of .25 which is smaller than the .30 ratio discussed earlier. They also looked at the property and sales tax revenue by researching the village's budget and interviewed staff. They did not include the utility tax because it is their understanding that they will not be in effect in the future. On the cost side, they reviewed all the costs. The estimation on the revenue side is $1,150,000 at build out. The cost side is estimated with an annual operating cost of approximately $343,000 with an estimated net benefit of $813,000. Mr. Gruen said these are very conservative estimates. When asked how the amount of revenue was estimated. Mr. Gruen said they estimated the property tax to the village, general funds only, which is about $176,000 and the sales tax revenue of $980,000. When asked what kinds of business mix was used to estimate the sales tax revenue, Mr. Gruen indicated they researched a mix of stores and looked at the kinds tenants associated with that mix and look at various projects in the area. In this case they assumed that eighty percent of the space would be made up of larger users, larger modern grocery store, discount stores, a Kohl's store and the like. Twenty percent of the development would be comprised of smaller type businesses like dry cleaners and restaurants. Trustee Porch asked Mr. Gruen if he researched what the impact would be on the current commercial district. Mr. Gruen indicated he did not.
ROBERT SILHAN Robert Silhan, Director of Planning, Zoning and Building, said that as he indicated to the Planning and Zoning Board Thursday night, he is recommending approval of the rezoning pending annexation. He also reviewed pages 14 and 15 of the comprehensive plan. Since December of 1991 there has been 1037 permits issued for new single family residential units, 155 permits issued for residential dwelling units for townhouses and multiple family apartments and four permits issued for new retail commercial.
CITIZENS Mr. John Horan, Hillside resident, asked why the annexation agreement term is for twenty years. Mr. Jerry Callaghan, attorney for the petitioner, said that twenty years is the limitation established by State Statute. Mr. Horan also said that as a citizen, he is disappointed to see the ordinances already drafted and on the agenda before hearing public testimony.

Mr. Geoff Vosper, Hanley Drive resident, said that although he and many others present feel this is ‘done deal' and a legal convenience, he asked the Board not to change the comprehensive plan because of pressure from the developer.

Mr. Marc Lubkeman, Linden Lane resident, approached the Board requesting that changes not be made to the Comprehensive Plan, which took two years to develop. He suggested the Board get all the facts before making any changes.

Ms. Jodi Gott, Pine Hill Drive resident, read a resolution that is attached to the Shorewood Hills Comprehensive Plan and stressed the importance of community development. Ms. Gott distributed copies of Comprehensive Plans from other communities for the Board's review.

Mr. Greg Umec, Savage Road resident, read his letter expressing concerns with development and the effects it may have on the water quality and quantity.

Ms. Sandi Siegmier, Circle Avenue resident, doesn't understand the fiscal information provided earlier and the huge displacement of the impact it will have on the downtown. She also said that she doesn't feel the Board has enough information to make a decision.

Ms. Marianne Guy, White Road resident, asked why the Board is considering annexation at this point since the 55 acres is not contiguous. She also discussed the Memorandum of Understanding and compliance with current ordinances, not changing the comprehensive plan.

Mr. Ron Reipe, Miller Road resident, stated there is room for flexibility. Mr. Reipe distributed a packet of information to the Board that was previously distributed to members of the Planning and Zoning Board.

Ms. Dee Reeves, Fox Drive resident, said the Comprehensive Plan is not part of the Memorandum of Understanding, the developer should ask for a variance instead of making permanent changes to the plan.

Mr. Pete Bolandar, Eagle Ridge Drive, read a letter addressed to the Board stating that he is dismayed at the predicament the Board is being asked to work under.

Mr. Jack Siegmier, discussed the impact of changing the commercial zoning from 5 acres to 30 acres and feels that the Board is opening a pandora's box and they hold the key.

Mr. Bob Burman, Pine Hill Drive resident, stated that he has a degree in finance and he was astounded by the financial review presentation made earlier. He found it unacceptable.

Mr. Bill Creaney, Hill Ridge Drive resident, said that Neumann Homes has been previously turned down and he feels he will have to pay higher taxes with or without them, and he prefers to pay it without them.

Ms. Marianne Brandt, Miller Road resident, said her property is adjacent to the proposed property. She discussed the configuration of Savage Road and the Memorandum of Understanding Non Binding Agreement. She asked the Village Board to do what is right for Antioch.

Ms. Brenda Lyntner, discussed the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision and Zoning Codes.

Mr. Darrell May, read his letter and asked the Board why they are giving away the store if changes to the Comprehensive Plan are not part of the Memorandum of Understanding.

Ms. Mary Hadick, Hook Circle Drive resident, said that she felt residents are being ignored.

Ms. Jan Sternberg, Deep Lake Road resident, said changes to the Comprehensive Plan warrants many hours of research.

Ms. Joanne Horan, Hillside resident, would like Neuman Homes to donate the 55 acres to the schools.

Ms. Joanne Linker, said that she has a small business in town because she likes it. She would like to be known for something else besides Wal Mart. She suggested a beautiful hotel or water park.

Ms. Cindy Derouse, Meridian Way, said Neumann Homes is turning this small wonderful town into a little city.

Ms. Pat Antonnelli, Main Street resident, asked the Board if they are confident with their understanding of all the aspects these changes will have on our community.

LAURA BILAS Ms. Laura Bilas, of Foley and Lardner, briefly discussed the formation of the special service area with the bonds being paid for by the property owners within the special service area. If landowners don't pay the tax bill, the property would go through foreclosure proceedings. Ms. Bilas explained that the role of the underwriter is to market the bonds.

LAURA BILAS Ms. Laura Bilas, Attorney for Foley Lardner, stated the formation of Special Service Area Number Two (Clublands) is the same as the previously discussed area. Bonds will be paid for by the property owners within the special service area. When asked why would there be a special service area established in an area not yet approved, Ms. Bilas said steps are outlined in State Statute to establish special services areas and doesn't bind the village in any way. Because this special service area applies to Clublands which is not yet approved, it will only be established if Clublands is approved and this procedure does not obligate the Board to approve the Clublands proposal.

The Combined Planning and Zoning Board conducted a public hearing on September 5, 2002 following notification as required by State Law and Village Ordinance.

Tom Burney, attorney for Neumann Homes and Kevin Crowe, Director of Land Development for Neumann Homes presented the request. Village Planner Bob Silhan presented his report which concludes with a positive recommendation: "Insofar as the P & Z Board recommended a previous FPZB01-06 plan for 1240 homes, and that the current proposal is significantly better, due to: increased lot size; fewer homes; decrease impacts on schools, traffic; the environment; and increased open space; staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board also recommend the current PZB02-11 petition and proposal to the Village Board." Village Engineer Jim Keim presented his report., which indicates compliance with Village ordinances, and therefore, recommends approval.

Several members of the audience spoke in opposition to the proposal.

Following discussion, Bob McCarty moved, Carol Keller seconded, to approve PZB02-11, the proposed preliminary (entitlement) PUD plan, within existing R-1 zoning for the approximately 450 acres site, 960 single family homes, as recommended by staff.

TOM BURNEY Mr. Tom Burney, attorney for Neumann Homes reviewed the request and discussed the property sold to the Lake County Forest Preserve, increased lot size, fewer homes and increased open space.

Trustee Pierce asked if this development would warrant a traffic signal. Mr. Burney responded that the current development will not in itself justify the need for a traffic signal. The combination of commercial development on the 55 acre site, the school site and Deercrest development will warrant the signal.

DON ANDERSON There was a question regarding the memorandum of understanding. Village Attorney Don Anderson stated the memorandum of understanding constitutes a tentative resolution of the disputes involved in the Deercrest and Neumann Homes provisions. It constitutes a tentative commitment on the part of the Village Board to abide by the provisions of that agreement in order to obtain the resolution that is the objective of the memorandum.

It does not mean that the Village Board is bound to vote for the PUD because no document of that kind can bind the Board in the execution of it's governmental responsibility. It does mean, however, that if the Board chooses to vote against this PUD, that the result will be that we will be back in litigation.

TRUSTEE CAULFIELD Trustee Caulfield asked if the hydro geologist would give a brief presentation. Mr. Tom Burney introduced Mr. Michael Place, Hydro Geologist and President of Classer Inc. Mr. Place stated that he has been a consultant for 19 years. He said that in 1999 USEPA issued a record of decision specifying remedies for the soil, leche, gas and ground water quality issues that were being faced at the time. The ground water is being monitored on that site and the overall waste pile has been reconsolidated and capped to prevent rain water from infiltrating through and creates less likely leche leaking from the site. The ILEPA and Illinois Department of Public Health and the Federal Agency for Disease Registry, there has been numerous health assessments and a public health action plan developed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. All of these studies conclude that there is no threat from the landfill. Mr. Place said the village has one of the best remedies is possible because we have both federal and state agencies monitoring the site in addition to multimillion dollar responsible party watching the site for the next thirty years.

There was a discussion regarding the proposed amendments to the village ordinances. Trustee Porch indicated that she felt betrayed by Mr. Neumann because the ordinances are being changed instead of requesting variances. Mr. Burney responded that the proposed amendments made to the request are clarifying amendments. He read a section to the village ordinance and stated that the village planner has indicated over and over again this community has approved modification, whether it's sidewalks, road configuration or length of blocks. Mr. Burney wanted the record to show that the village has allowed for departures from the village code has been regularly approved by the village. Trustee Porch said that all other developments have asked for variances.

The intent was to expedite things for consideration.
