Cornerstone—Final Plat Review
Engineering Comments by Joe Wywrot
1) Point#2 under Plat— Pete Huinker gave Joe Wywrot a copy of the 1997 recorded
document showing a dedicated ROW to the south. Mr. Wywrot will check the
document. The City wasn't to maximize the ability for commercial use, and the
City has no site plan or transportation plans, and Mr. Graff asked that the
developer add language providing an additional 30' (maximum) for utility
easements.
2) Mr. Graff pointed out that the two ponds on Lot 44 will have stagnant water
problems. Items to address are 1)mosquitoes, 2) surface water, 3) shore line
management and establishment of vegetation, and 4) aeration. The City is asking
for a management plan from the developer, during the housing development
stage.
3) Mr. Huinker stated that the revised plan include the easement extension to the
property lines, extending the side yards back. Mr. Graff and Joe Wywrot
suggested that, other than selective clearing of trees within the conservation
easement by the City's park department, that language be added. This would
protect the trees (ex. silk fencing) from grading during the construction phase.
4) The 50' language easement alongside Lot 44 has been added per Pete Huinker.
5) Mr. Graff clarified with Joe Wywrot that the road connection to Prairie Gardens y
will have two access points during the entire development process.
Landscaping comments by Mike Schoppe
1) Point#2 under Final Plat—Mr. Schoppe asked that the easements be re-notched
to 45' wide on lots 10 and 14, keeping the east line of the easement a minimum
of 10' from trees that are 6" or larger.
2) Point# I under Final Engineering - The silk fencing needs to be pulled to the
i
edge of the easements to keep the grading at least 10' away from the base of the g
trees.

3) Point# 2 under Final Engineering—Mr. Schoppe stated lot 44 basins should be
added to the management plan.
Zoning comments by Anna Kurtzman
1) Ms. Kurtzman stated that all lots on the plat submitted June 24th meet the
minimum lot requirements.
2) Point# 3 —There is access in the bike trail easement on Lot 45. Mr. Huinker
shows an alignment of the proposed plan, and a separate lot has been created for
the building of the path. Mr. Wywrot is asking for further detail in the plans,
extending all the way to the north property line, with an 8'path.
3) Point#4 - Mr. Schoppe stated that the plat, Lot 46, should contain language "to
be conveyed to the City" (not dedicated) upon City's acceptance of
improvements.
4) Point# 5 - Mr. Schoppe asked about the "5 BPE" language reflect what the bike
path easement is, which Mr. Huinker stated is on the new plans. These
easements are on either side of Lots 14 and 15.
5) Point# 5, 8 and 9 - Ms. Kurtzman stated that the developer has the discretion to
reduce the building setback according to code. Wood Sage Ave. setback should
be increased. Along Rt. 47 the setback can be 20', and the tightest it would be is
30', per Mr. Sterling, falling under the landscape ordinance. The developer will
check that they have Rt. 47 right of ways, and that it has been submitted to IDOT.
The developer will submit six sets of engineering plans are due by June 29th. Comments
are due in the clerk's office by July 7th. This will move Plan Commission on July 14,
COW on July 20th and City Council by July 27th
