OLD BUSINESS
PC 93-5 Fox Hill P.U.D.Unit N,Pods 5C & 7.Final Plat.
Bill Schmanski said most major issues had been resolved concerning this Final Plat. Lawrence
Langland asked if the ATT easement was in effect any longer. Bill Schmanski said that the buried
cable in the easement is a concern that has not been resolved yet. They do not currently use this
easement and will not vacate it. He does not know what it is made of, how deep it is, or how many
times it may be run into during construction. Representing Fox Hill was Consulting Engineer,
Michael J. Cap. He said the facilities in the easement have been abandoned. They tried to configure
the subdivision to minimize the impact of this easement on the buildable area of the lots. The lots
nearest the easement were the largest in the subdivision and they anticipate more custom homes that
would be flexible to the lot design. They did not regard the constraints the ATT easement places on
lot 146 as an obstacle to build.
Discussion followed about the lot placement and the ATT easements.
Bill Schmanski said the land plan had accommodated the easement as much as was practical,but he
had two concerns. What happens to the facilities that are in there if they are hit? What are the
provisions of the easement and how could they use it in the future? Mr. Cap said the cables are about
three feet deep and are out of service.
Anne Lucietto asked where the final landscape plan was for the central green areas. Mr. Cap said
there is a prototype for the arrangement, but the plan had not yet been finalized. The idea was to
replicate the approach they used for the previous two single-family units.
It was decided that the Commission would like to see the landscape plan before they could approve
the final plat.
Anne Lucietto made the motion to approve to the City the Fox Hill final plat subject to two
conditions: the Plan Commission must approve the landscaping plan and review the ATT easement .
