It will be a total live, work, play community environment. They have integrated systems. Storm water treatment is compatible to other uses and have metximized infrastructure systems. The single family lots vary from one acre to
starter home lots and vary in prices. They feel they will protect and enhance environment and maximize existing recourses. Also utilize park/open space. 25% green over community.
They feel they have met requirements: (1) Compatible with comprehensive plan; (2) Promotes high standards and designs; (3) Safe and desirable living environment; (4) Preserved natural features of site; (5) Provide adequate open space of 25%; (6) Represent creative approach in land development; (7) Design's compatible to adjacent area.
Mr. Edmonds explained that they own the entire property and will be involved with project for 15, 20-26 years or however long it takes to complete. In addition to Village codes, they also have requirements on building so to maintain integrity of community .They will call the community "Huntley" - "A brand new town with 140 year history." It will not be high- end and glitzy. Looking at first-time buyers on up. Mr. Mercer asked how many people are they looking at at build out? Mr. EMmonds said that in 20 years, approximately 1,000 people, relatively slow absorption. Mr. Franzen asked, pending approval, what is plan of start. Mr. Edmonds said
they plan to start at north and head south. Wastewater treatment plant will be in north area. Plan on working with many builders. Hope to get under way by end of 1992. Golf courses not until maybe 1995, with daily fee. Rest of build out is a market driven plan, depending on demand.
Jan Evans asked if waste water treatment plant for this project only or also for new school campus. It's supposed to treat 1.8 million gallons for village. School District is not now under our FPA. Rick Smelling of Mt. Prospect asked how expensive new systems is. Mr. Hirniak and Mr. Edmond said that the cost can vary greatly, anywhere from $5-7 per gallon and can only guess - 20-25 million dollars over lifetime. The development will bear cost of treatment plant. They will own the golf courses and at end will eventually sell or give them away.
Mr. Krauss asked them to explain the Alternative Use Parcels - Maximum limits depending on marketing demands, can only be certain percent of corporate office and so would go to alternative use. Such variations could be from estate to SFl. It would depend on market drive or regional demand. Current plan shows 398 acres of corporate continued on page 7
