Resolution 4190(85) – Council President Miller and the City Council gave consideration to a resolution approving a Certified Survey Map for Lots 17 – 35 and Outlot 2 in the Springbrook Landing Subdivision. As part of the proposed condominium project, "The Meadows at Pine Brook", three Certified Survey Maps have been proposed and submitted by CJ Engineering, LLC for lands located within the Springbrook Landing Subdivision. The Plan Commission recommended approval of the CSM on February 12, 2008, subject to certain technical considerations identified by Patrick Meehan, City Planner, in a January 31, 2008 memo and the City Engineer in a January 25, 2008 memo.

Alderman Simenson questioned why the City was approving a change to this developer’s original plan just because the lots are not selling as expected. She felt that the area will now be like an island with several homes very dissimilar than others in the City, as well as a mix of condominiums. Alderman Simenson expressed her dislike for the look of the new condominium plans. She felt that there should be a park between the existing homes and the condominiums. She stated that she is strongly against this project.

Mr. Joe Dawidziak, 1165 Hidden Creek Lane, City of Burlington, wanted to note that he respects Alderman Simenson’s opinion on this issue; however, after meeting with the developers a compromise has been reached regarding this development. He explained that not all of the neighbors are happy with the development, but they have all given a little and now give their support to the developer. He also thanked the Council, City administration and the developers for working with the residents of this subdivision on this compromise.

Mr. Jay Askins, 232 Gardner Avenue, City of Burlington, questioned what the cost of the new condominiums would be. Mr. John Didier, owner of Pinebrook Point and developer of this project, explained that the units would range in price from $209,900 - $259,900. Alderman Vos noted that the City has history of working with developers to make appropriate changes in several subdivisions throughout the City (Westridge, Bear Meadows, Village of Monica all surrounding single family).

This issue will move forward to the March 4, 2008 City Council meeting for consideration.

Resolution 4216(111) – Council President Miller and the City Council gave consideration to a resolution rescinding the approval of a Certified Survey Map for PBJC Tires Investor, LLC (Resolution 4184(79)).

It was explained that Resolution 4184(79), approving a Certified Survey Map (CSM) with PBJC Tires Investors, LLC for property located at 980 Milwaukee Avenue (future Kohls site), was approved by the Common Council on December 18, 2007. A second resolution, Resolution 4203(98), approving a CSM for the same parcel, splitting the one lot into two lots and referencing the original CSM was approved at the February 5, 2008 Council meeting. As a result of the second CSM being approved with the appropriate land divisions, it has been determined that recording the first CSM has become unnecessary.

This issue will move forward to the March 4, 2008 City Council meeting for consideration.

Resolution 4217(112) – Council President Miller and the City Council gave consideration to a resolution accepting the public sanitary sewer and water main at the Glen at Stonegate Subdivision, Addition One.

All punch list items have been completed; as-built drawings have been received, reviewed and approved. Any punchlist items remaining after the final lift of asphalt will be the developer’s responsibility. Water samples have been supplied to the Wastewater Treatment Plant as required and found to be safe per City requirements.

Ordinance 1853(26) – Council President Miller and the City Council gave consideration to an ordinance to amend the Official Zoning Map by rezoning the property located in a portion of the Springbrook Landing Subdivision from Rs-3/PUD, Single-Family Residence District with a Planned Unit Development Overlay to Rd-2/PUD, Two-Family Residence District with a Planned Unit Development Overlay. A rezone request was submitted from CJ Engineering, LLC for property located in the Springbrook Landing Subdivision, which lies north of Yahnke Road and west of S. Pine Street for the development of condominiums on the existing vacant lots.

Alderman Rauch questioned why there was no sidewalk shown along Hwy 83. Alderman Vos stated that in his recollection there is no sidewalk to be put there unless people petition to have one installed. City Attorney Kircher stated that this development does not have a developer’s agreement at this time and the sidewalk issue could be addressed in those negotiations. He also noted that a sidewalk laid on Hwy 83 would be in the right-of-way which would be shown on the development plans. Administrator Kevin Lahner stated that he would research the sidewalk issue for this development.

This issue will move forward to the March 4, 2008 City Council meeting for consideration.
