Brighton Oaks II—preliminary plan
The two cul-de-sac street designs are ok as submitted.EEI comments#7-10 stated the
sidewalk down the west side should be extended to connect to the trail. The city standard for a
pathway should be revised to meet the 10 feet city standard. Mr.Dunn has been in contact with
Smith Engineering, and they indicated the Yorkwood Estates pathway will be constructed to tie
into Brighton Oaks II trail.
Bill Dunn stated the annexation makes reference to a potential connection to Brighton
Oaks' Phase I sanitary system. It mention use of the sanitary system in Unit I for temporary
treatment until the acquisition of the YBSD connection. The preliminary plan shows no
provision for this. Smith Engineering is not considering the stub to the south line of Brighton
Oaks as a future sanitary connection, should the property be annexed. Staff will discuss using the
system on an interim basis and how the system would be vacated,then discuss with the petitioner.
Kevin Biscan stated this was proposed as a prototype and will be monitored by the IEPA.
Vince Rosenova said,hopefully,the grove of trees on the Yorkwood Estates property
will be saved. At the time of final,the petitioner will show path realignment and adhere to the
city standard 10 foot path width.
Regarding the recording of side and rear setback lines,Vince Rosenova stated this creates
a separate right of enforcement to every property owner in the subdivision outside of the city
zoning authority. Rebecca Houseman's memo, stated Anna Kurtzman, asked for setback
notation on the eight problematic lots,but at the minimum on lot 16,assuming 87' and 106' are
the rear lot lines. The petitioner will call out the side lot lines of lot 16.
The note on the typical must indicate"whichever is greater"(comment#2 on Rebecca's
comments)as noted by Anna Kurtzman. The annexation agreement language states that the side
yard should be noted as"10%or 10',whichever is greater,or refer to the zoning code". An
exception or a sign easement should be noted on lot 55, in addition to the storm water easement.
Travis Miller noted comments from Laura Haake's memo, indicating the petitioner
follow the tree protection policy in the landscape ordinance. The petitioner should follow tree
protection and flexibility when realigning the trail location.
"Future"notation on the trail, in lieu of sidewalk,along Highpoint Road should be
changed.The trail will be completed by the petitioner.
A traffic study should be prepared and studied,to determine the potential need for a turn
bay at the Yorkwood entrance,addressing the payment for improvements.High Point Rd.is a
collector roadway and there is a need for a dedicated right of way. The study and financing will
be resolved at final engineering.
