Bru-Mar Construction Co. Valley Knolls Addition. Reclassification from District Rural to District RI 13•5._ Ordinance No. 1_85. First Reading. Preliminary Plat Approval . Resolution No. 561. Dick Putnam, Village Planner presented and reviewed the Valley Knolls Addition area plans. He stated that it is a conventional single family subdivision using three cul-de-sac streets to cluster the lots in small groupings. four of the lots will have direct access to Du is Lake Trail but all others are on the cul-de-sacs, Barberry Lane or Duck Lake Road. Sewer and water service will be available in Barberry Lane and Duch Lake Trail immediately, lots on Duck Lake Road do not have sewer and water at this time but could be served from Duck Lake Trail in the futtore. All underground u ti 1 i ti as wi 11 be provi ded by the �devel open. Mr. Putnam noted that a strong element of the proposed plan is the four acre public parkland to the north. The steep slope separates the open space from the building sites. The land will provide ail excel 1 en.t s:to for winter recreation for children and also connects to the proposed Village golf course area to the west. The price range of the homes proposed by Bru-Mar Construction is about equal or slightly greater than the existing single family dweilings in the area. Mr. Putnam suggested that a walkway along Duck Lake Road could b e constructed and a possible "sidewalk" could be used along Duck Lake Trail, Mr. Cosmano questioned about the increase in traffic along Barberry !.arse, Mr. Putnam stated that probably it would double the number of trips per r . day but that it would be the slow traffic type of auto movement. Mrs. Meyers also noted that she was concerned about the increase in traffiz on Duck Lake Trail . / There being no further questions or comments, a motion was made by Mr. i` Nesbitt to close the hearing and approve the reclassification from Distric Rural to District RI 13.5 in' Valley Knolls Addition.

Motion carried. B. Eliason Builders, Inc. Round Lake Estates PUD. Resolution No. 560. Reclassification from District Rural to RI 13. 5. Ordinance No. 182. Preliminary Plat AP rp oval. Resolution No. 5 1 . Mr. Putnam, Village Planer presented and reviewed the Round Lake Estates PUD concept plan. It is located north of TH 05 east of Heritage Park 1 st Addition and west of Round Lake. He stated that the Panning Commission had requested that Mr. Eliason submit his proposal under the PUD ordin- ance because the functions of his plan were better handled using these procedures. He further stated that the normal procedures for single family platting were not being used in the Round Lake Estates proposal since PUD planning concepts such as cluster arrangements, public and quasi-public open space, trail systems and a provision for a unique approach to single family housing on sma: ler lots could be better hand- led using those procedures. The proposed plan is conceived to extend the existing street pattern / using Heritage Road as the primary access from TH #5 as the only access for a limited time. Other access points must be provided when Phase II is constructed. Phase I, containing 27 single family homes will about double the trips on Heritage Road per day. Mr. Putnam further stated that this problem is not one of Heritage Road's capacity but rather the dangerous intersection with TH #5. The additional streets in the project would connect to the proposed Round Lake Parkway which will connect to County Road #4. The development provides each single family lot with separate pedestrian 1 pathways leading to public pathways and Round Lake Park. The walkway system will also allow existing residents of Heritage Park to get to Round Lake Park. Mrs. Meyers questioned how many homes would be built next year in Phase I, Mr. Eliason replied that possibly one half of them. She then asked what price homes would be built on the excluded portion of the PUD on Round Lake Circle and when they would be constructed. Mr. Eliason stated that they would be in the $30,000 price range and built in about 3 years. He also noted that if inflation and/or building costs rose, . possibly the size of the house would be limited in order to keep housing costs down. Mayor Redpath also stated that he was concerned about providing some moderate price housing in the project. A resident on Heritage Road questioned what price homes would be built facing existing properites and was told that they would be in a comparable price range to those now there. Several residents voiced their concern about the traffic problem at the access to and from Heritage Road on TH #5 and the additional traffic that would be created by this project.
