Several members of the Wedgewood Subdivision Homeowners Association and the Prospect
Manor Homeowners Association were present at the Plan Commission meeting. Both associations
asked staff and the Plan Commission to reconsider their recommendations for proposing
commercial and townhome developments to be located along Rand Road north and south of
Prospect Manor Avenue and Wedgewood Lane. Both associations would be in support of single
family or low density residential developments at these locations.
Mr. Ungerleider provided an illustration of an acceptable method in designing these types of
subdivisions limiting curb cuts to Rand Road, and the streets entering into each of these
association neighborhoods. Members present from each of the associations expressed that they
would support the described design.
Marshall Ponzi requested that staff refer in the corridor plan of the covenants and restrictions for
the residential properties located in the Wedgewood and Prospect Manor Subdivisions. He
expressed that it is essential that we notify any perspective developers of these properties that they
need to receive approval from these associations prior to making application with the Village.
Mr. Harold Ettinger, resident living at 415 North Maple, expressed that he had concerns
regarding the realignment of Business Center Drive to Gregory. He asked the Plan Commission
and staff if he could be given the opportunity to review the Village's documentation regarding the
Plan Commission's current recommendation to realign these streets. Mr. Ungerleider explained
that he would be glad to provide him with any information that staff has regarding these matters.
The Plan Commission tentatively scheduled the pubic hearing required for the corridor plan for
Wednesday, July 17, 1996.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned by Chairman Ponzi at 9:15 p.m.
