PREVIOUS MINUTES:  Commissioner Majewski made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Stieper, to approve the April 10^th Minutes.  In a discussion of that motion, Commissioner Majewski asked for clarification of the 2^nd sentence on Page 2, Paragraph 6.  It was agreed to replace that sentence with the following:  “The approximate depth of the pond is seven feet in the middle, which will be a function of both a fabric lining and a control structure.”  Motion to approve the corrected Minutes carried unanimously by voice vote.

GOLD CUB SUBDIVISION – FINAL PLAT:  Ed Lebbos, an engineer for the owner Edwardo Perez, had received the Plan Commission’s approval for this minor subdivision’s sketch plan at the April 10, 2006 meeting and was now seeking final plat approval.  The parcel is located at 44 Braeburn Lane and consists of 14.7 acres, with the proposal being its subdivision into two lots consisting of 5.2 acres and 9.6 acres.

Mr. Lebbos advised that the McHenry County Stormwater Management approved the proposal, subject to recordation of a management plan for the wetland area.   He advised that approval was also received from the Army Corp of Engineers. 

Responding to Chairman Bosworth’s questions about equestrian trails, Mr. Lebbos replied that the owner has agreed to a designation of an easement along the south, west, and north borders in combination with the utility easements.  Trustee Knoop noted that the easement will be recorded on the plat for a specific purpose.  Mr. Lebbos advised that Village Engineer Todd Gordon has given him the appropriate language for this easement designation that will be included in the plat of subdivision prior to recordation.

Robert Kosin distributed copies of Assistant Village Engineer Daniel Strahan’s July 6^th letter to Chairman Bosworth in which he stated that the proposed engineering plans are in accordance with Village requirements, and therefore recommended the final plat approval subject to modifications regarding the equestrian trails.

Motion:  Commissioner Majewski made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Hennelly, to recommend approval of the Gold Cup Subdivision’s final plat, with the inclusion of the equestrian easement.  Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.

TRUSTEE’S REPORT:   Trustee Knoop reported the following:  (1) The McHenry County’s ZBA will be meeting on July 25^th with the Duda property on the agenda; (2) The Development Commission is looking at 60+ acres on the western border of Barrington Hills for consideration of development. Teska & Associates have been retained to propose a plan for that area; (3) He and President Abboud attended an open public forum in Hoffman Estates with its aim toward promoting growth in the area of the Stables of Barrington; and (4) There may be future discussion about Lot 5 of the Wamburg property, with potential plans for higher density than originally agreed upon by Barrington and Barrington Hills.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m. after being so moved and seconded.

Respectfully submitted,

Lou Anne Majewski
