The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting this request by a vote of 5-1.

The Petitioner presented the request, amended since originally filed by reducing the number of units to 208 condominium units. It was noted that Rand Road is already a busy roadway, however, the traffic study indicates that additional vehicles created by this development will have little impact on the overall traffic. There will be $ sites of ingress and egress sites (Schoenbeck, Rand and Euclid), which would handle the vehicles. It was also noted that whether this development is built or not, there should be a right turn lane at Rand Road for westbound traffic on Euclid Avenue. As to retention/detention and in accordance with Village Codes, 2 new ponds would be created and would provide the required water management. ~ The subject of density was discussed, noting that the original Consent Decree governing this parcel allows for 12 story buildings and the proposed development is a better plan for the site. Trustee Hendricks moved to defer action on these cases so that he could request a legal opinion regarding the Consent Decree governing Old Orchard Colony Country and whether written approval of the other homeowner associations should be obtained prior to presenting the request to the Village Board.
