Director of Community Development Kallien provided an overview of the request
and noted that the subject property had two existing lots with a residence on one of
the lots. The purpose of the request was to resubdivide the property so that a new
house could be built. All codes and ordinances would be followed, including
stormwater management,

Plainfield, IL, reviewed the request for the two-lot Resubdivision. Ile represented
the owner Ed Greco and introduced Mr. Greco's business associate Ron DeRosa as
his representative and explained that it was a very simple existing two-lot
subdivision that would remain a two-lot subdivision in the ftiture. The original
Douse was built across the existing property line between the parcels, the
resubdivided portion with the existing home would be approximately 5.5 acres, and
the remaining lot will be approximately 2.03 acres. He responded to the questions
raised in the staff report relating to the neighbors comment regarding drainage,
which would conform to all ordinances. The drainage from the property does not
flow to the north; it flows to the southeast as shown on the topographic survey. If
approved, there would be a permit submittal for the second home on the newly
subdivided lot. As part of the process there would be an independent driveway
constructed on Canterberry Lane.
Member Doyle questioned why the parcels were being subdivided where one would
be twice the size of the other.
Mr. Lavoie responded that the existing owner wanted to preserve as much of the
open space due to the orientation of the existing house and how the property was
used and still meet the ordinance requirements.
Hope Sabbagha, 203 Oak Brook Road, resident said that they live just north of the
subject property. She said that in 2002, they subdivided two lots into three lots. At
the time of construction,they were required to put in a 2-acre detention pond in their
subdivision to retain the water. At that time, they were very upset because it took
away many trees, but the detention area saved their. They are dry and have never
had any water issues. Before the property was developed there was an area made to
allow for detention. She questioned and expressed concern that if this property was
being divided and a home would be built, then where would the water go since there
is no plan for the water to be detained. They were only concerned about the water
and did not object to anything else.
Director of Community Development Kallien responded that the key difference
between the two subdivisions was that this property is currently two lots and would
remain two lots, but when her property was subdivided it started as two lots that
were subdivided into three lots, so the Stormwater Management ordinance kicked in
and a large formal basin was required. In the present case, they would follow the
best management practices in the code and in the event the larger lot would ever be
subdivided then they would need to create a formal detention pond.
Mr. Lavoie said that they all follow a base code as the minimum in DuPage County
that was updated in late 2012, so they are working with very stringent drainage
requirements on stormwater related issues. The best management practices are
identified in that ordinance and will be part of the package that is submitted to the
Village for the actual house permit. A building permit would not be issued without
providing that. They are in the process with existing ownership of the lot and

actively involved with the new owner working on those particular plans. They were
confident that they would meet all ordinance requirements and would handle all
runoff so they did not affect neighboring properties.
Director of Community Development Kallien offered to contact Mrs. Sabbagha to
meet with one of the engineers after all drainage plans had been submitted and
reviewed to show her where the water would go.
Final Plat
Motion by Member Doyle, seconded by Member Iyer to recommend approval of
the Final Plat as submitted to resubdivide the property located at 204 Canterberry
Lane into two lots, subject to the following condition:
1. All of the requirements of the Village's stormwater ordinance, Title 9 of the
Village Code would be hilly met at time of any future development.
