Approval was also sought for the final plat of sub- division. ub- division. Mr. I acc i no has given up the 71 for the Meier Read ROW and also land for the easement at the rear of his property. Mr. Velasco proposed the following motion, which was seconded by Mr. Boege : Based upon the petitioner's agreement to a. restric- tive estr.ic-tive covenant (which will run with the land) stating that he will install any of the improvements ,set forth below if and when required by the Village, this Commission hereby recommends that the petitioner be granted a waiver of the Development Code requirements for: sidewalks, curb and gutters, parkway trees, street lights and pavement widening, and that further, the Chairman and Secretary be authorized to sign the final plat of subdivision. All member voted Aye and the Chairman declared the motion passed. The Chairman refused signature of the Plat, at this time, because it lacked the necessary signatures from other Village agencies. (Secretary's note : These other signatures were obtained and the Plat was subsequently signed by the Plan Commission Chairman and Secretary.) Kensington Center Resubdivision 11 Applicant, Opus Corporation, requested that. Tot 801 be resub- di.vided into four lots and that a 8961 cul-de-sac be approved. The Annexation Agreement only permits cul -de -saes up to 8001. Mr. Polkow explained the ingress/egress patterns of this area, and that the proposed cul-de-sac was not a true cul-de-sac because it allowed access at the bulb end. Mr. Velasco questioned why Opus was allowed to commence construc- tion without an approved Plat, commenting that there seemed to be some inconsistencies in the application of this pre -construct ion approval requirement. Staff noted that since this was one lot of record this would be sufficient to allow them to build. Mr. Kloster moved, and Mr. Horre l l i seconded, a motion that the petitioner be allowed to construct the 8961 cul-de-sac, and the Plat of resubdivision be approved and that the Chairman and Secretary be authorized to sign it. The vote was 5 Aye; 1 Nay; the Chairman declared the motion passed. Mr. Boege explained his No vote on the basis that he felt it presumptuous of the builder to assume that this Commission would approve the resubdivision ,and to have started construction prior to receiving such approval. Mr. Weibel reaffirmed the fact that Loft 801 was a lot of record, thus allowing lawful construction t Kensington Center Resubdivision 2 Applicant was requesting approval of resubdivi,ding Lot 503 into ;Lots 503 and 504, and vacation of a part of the cul -de --.sacs bulb so that the bulb could be shifted, Mr. Velasco moved, and Mr. Borrelli seconded, that vacation be granted for the western portion of the Lakeview court cul--de-sac. All members voted Aye and the Chairman declared the motion carried.
