Prairie Pointe Lot 3 Crimson Lane—Special Use Permit
Ms. Kurtzman questioned the petitioner regarding the use of the 0.47 narrow strip of land
within Lot 3. Mr. Brown suggested with the size of the facility that his client did not need the
space. The current plan is 5 parking spaces short for administrative staff. Information for the
number of administrative staff is needed by Ms. Kurtzman.No pavement should be allowed into
the platted parking setback along Crimson Lane. The dumpster placement should change because
it prohibits the 5 ft. wide buffer strip to be located along the perimeter of the parking lot.
Stephanie Boettcher offered a correction on her memo, in that Crimson Lane, noted as an
arterial roadway, is actually a collector road. Ms. Boettcher asked if parents would be signing the
children in and out, and Mr. Brown assured her they would be, in his comments regarding a
drop-off zone for the facility. Ms. Boettcher suggested the play area not be parallel to the road,but
that the area might rather wrap-around the facility, in a potential use of the 0.47 excluded from the
plan.
Bill Dunn stated that the petitioner should be aware that there would be a fee for the
regional run off provided by the storm water detention basin. He suggested bio-swales be in
incorporated in the plan, to mitigate the storm water,reducing the rate of release.
Joe Wywrot said the originally the proposed driveways along Prairie Pointe Drive were
opposite each other, and f this is not the case, depending on how the lots opposite the day care on
Prairie Pointe Drive develop, that the daycare's drive should be shifted to the north. Consideration
of the Crimson Lane right of way must be considered.
There is no gate within the fencing; the only entrance/gate is through the building. Dave
Mogle, commenting regarding the safety of the children in the playground, insisted that the
licensing with the state of Illinois is very stringent, and the safety of the children is paramount.
There will be a side walk along public frontage on Crimson Lane.
This will be presented at the Plan Commission on April 9.

Cross Evangelical North Campus—Annexation,Rezoning and Special Use
The petitioner noted that the 2.5 acre spot would have a similar use as the other
uses on the property. She suggested that design guidelines from the 2005 comprehensive plan
should be incorporated in this development, and reflective of the surrounding neighborhood's
architectural style. Conservation design principles, ex. bio-swales,best management practices,
are suggestions for the petitioner. There should be a buffer along the far side of the develop-
ment.
The worship center will be 2-stories high. Zoning classification will be R-2, with
setbacks 30', 10' and 40', for front, side, and rear, respectively.
Joe Wywrot stated there would be a 50' right of way set back along Mill Road, and
an additional 30' setback from the right of way line. Parking is prohibited in the landscape buffer.
The proposed property to the south puts a driveway 250' west of the east property line. The
city would like this to comply with intersection spacing,which is 400' for a collector road.
The petitioner will look at moving this driveway to the west.
Unit 20 Gr. Reserve is to the east of the property, and Joe Wywrot stated the would be
favorable to 0 candles at the lot line, if lighting was installed in the parking area on the northeast
side. The overall landscaping buffer of 30' along the north and east side of the development is
suggested by city staff. The buffer behind the parking area on the east side is 5 feet.
The petitioner was encouraged to contact Grande Reserve Unit 20 developers to see if the
storm water basin could be enlarged to accommodate the needs of this plan. A buffer along the
north side and a smaller pond, to address the neighbors' concerns, was suggested by Joe Wywrot.
Dave Mogle stated the map shows that the trail runs along the south side of Mill Road.
He will check on tying both church sites together, with a trail to the north of Mill.
Mill Road will be marked on the map.
A separate application should be filled out if engineering is needed for the project.
The annexation agreement should be submitted prior to plan commission.
This will be at the May 14 Plan Commission.
