PC90-1 - PRELIMINARY PLAT - WILDWOOD SUBDIVISION PHASES 2,3,4,5 & 6
The minutes from the October 1989 meeting relating to this petition were read
for the purpose of refreshing any pertinent information to the Commission members.
Jim Olson presented the petition. He explained that the park area was provided
by deleting lots. Lot #70 would provide playground area. The parkway now has
110' of right of way with green area to include planting area. Sufficient
pavement allowance to provide 3 lanes (one to be turn lane) into the commercial
area is provided.
It was further stated that there are now 3-1/2 acres in the corner of the
parcel designated as commercial. The tentative 30-acre area may be re-evaluted
and zoning will remain residential for the time being.
Entrance cuts are two on Rt. 71 and one on Rt. 126. Fran Klaas added that
a meeting held with IDOT surfaced no apparent problems; location of cuts may
change but the number would not.
It was noted that the project would demand no variances; lot size would be a
minimum of 20,000 sq. ft. Dave Greiter questioned the sewer situation as well
as the prudence of okaying projects such as this in phases with no control
factored in. Chairman Feltz stated that follow-up was a matter of city admini-
stration. Fran Klaas verified that the city was in tune with all progress.
In response to the question on the sewer situation, Fran Klaas stated that:
Phase I flows into the new lift station first and will take in all the
development east of the tower; then it will be directed toward the
industrial park; then it will be directed into an existing sewer &
intercepter lines.
Dave Greiter questioned the capacity of the existing lines. Fran Klaas stated
that the sewer this project would be contributary to is somewhat surcharged;

funding through the EPA is being sought to help provide sources for relief.
However, the first 40 residential lots would not have much affect on the existing
lines, maybe 3% of capacity.
The following comments were made by city planner Jim Clarage:
1. There should building setback lines and no access strips along Rt. 126,
Rt. 71, and along Wildwood Parkway (except lot #86)
2. No lots should have driveways backing out onto the Parkway considering
that the commercial area is across the way.
3. The state highway dedication should be 501 .
4. A pavement width of 33' minimum coming off state highways and through
streets should be provided. Wildwood Drive should be 39' to reflect
the turning lane. A 28' back to back should be sufficient for minor
streets with cul-de-sacs, loops, and interior. Also Candleberry &
Calamint loop should be a minimum of 33' .
5. The planter strip between the commercial and residential area is a good
feature. It would be desireable to have required landscaping shown on
the plat, such as: one 2" diameter minimum tree at each 20' interval on
center; bushes at 5' intervals; then ground cover.
6. Should include normal engineer sign-off and easement inclusion.
7. With regard to street names -- a simplistic approach would be preferable
to changing street names on loop area streets where no actual intersection
is involved.
8. Consider including in the deed covenant that the construction of any
stockade type fence be prohibited on lots that back up onto a main
thoroughfare.
Discussion followed on progression of development in phases and open water areas.
Chairman Feltz restated the concerns as stated above and asked for a recommendation.
The motion to recommend the acceptance of the Preliminary Plat subject to the
conditions stated was made by George Stewart. The second was by Sandra Adams.
Dave Greiter asked that a copy of the covenants be included with the preliminary
plat changes. Roll call vote carried the motion as follows:
Feltz - yes Stewart - yes Adams - yes Greiter - yes
The January meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:00 P.M.
