The following were in attendance: Messrs. Jeff and Joel Pickus, Pickus Constr.; Mr. William DeBrueler, DeBrueler and Assoc.; and Mr. Mark Polinko, ILT Vignocchi.

Ms. Einspanjer stated that the property is located on the west side of Delany Road, south of the extension of Ryan Road. The property has recently been annexed into the Village and carries an R-5 PUD zoning classification. Preliminary PUD Plat approval for 300 apartment units has been given.

The petitioners are requesting Final PUD Plat approval.

The following changes have been made to the plans that were approved at Preliminary PUD Plat:

1. The eighteen 2-bedroom + den units have been eliminated. In their place will be fifteen 1-bedroom + den units and three additional 2-bedroom units.

2. One surface parking space, 8 garage spaces, and 8 tandem spaces have been added to the site.

3. The exterior elevation of the buildings have been revised to encompass:

a. no dri-vit:

b. more brick;

c. decorative white vinyl scalloped siding on the gables to soften the look of the buildings;

d. all balconies will be constructed of cedar that will be stained white;

e. the roof pitched raised from a 4/12 to a 6/12 pitch due to the slope of the site;

f. a unified shingle color; and

g. two different vinyl siding colors (tan & clay/pewter & gray) so as not to appear monotonous.

Mr. Pickus stated that the exterior ring road buildings will be the tan & clay siding colors and the interior ring road buildings will be the gray & pewter siding color.

All of the site amenities proposed at Preliminary PUD Plat stage will be carried through (i.e. two tennis courts, clubhouse, indoor/outdoor pool, 8í wide crushed limestone pedestrian path, picnic area, etc.). The clubhouse will be of the tan and clay siding color. The pool house will be constructed of aluminum and glass and be enclosed by a brick knee wall.

In response to Mr. Smith, Mr. DeBrueler stated that the bedroom change is due to the market. The den is primarily used as a media room for young professionals. Donations will be made to the appropriate entities, as required at Preliminary PUD Plat stage.

The one bedroom unit square footage ranges from 714-1036 square feet and the two bedroom ranges from 1054-1077 square feet.

The site landscaping and foundation landscaping plans are consistent with those submitted at Preliminary Plat stage. Mr. Mark Polinko stated that some trees will need to be replaced or relocated on site, and the Villageís Landscape Ordinance will be followed. There are three landscape plan details available for units to add variety to the project. The entrance will be formally landscaped with an island and both annual and perennial plantings. Evergreens will be used to line the main entrance road. Trees to be added will include: Norway Maple, Ash, Locust, Linden, Flowering Crab, Austrian Pine, among others.

The development will have security during the evening hours.

Mr. DeBrueler requested 12-foot high lights internal to the site. It was suggested that this request would worked out with staff.

In response to Mr. Hellstern, Mr. Reed stated that the path to the picnic area will be able to accommodate a vehicle in case of emergency.

Mr. Reed stated that the engineering plans for the site are still under review.

Mr. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Hellstern, to forward a favorable recommendation to the Village Board on the Final PUD Plat of The Preserve, subject to final engineering.
