7. Planning Commission:

     a. Canada Corners Concept Plan:  John Thornhill presented on behalf of the applicant.  It is at the Northeast corner of Empire Road and Route 47.  It is 215 houses on 220 acres with 45% open space.  This is cluster housing with a sewage lagoon-land application system spraying treated effluent onto community open space.  This is a Schaffer system.  Lot sizes are 12,500 square feet.  This is consistent with the 2030 Plan, he stated.  He thinks the Regional Plan Commission will ok the project.  They will go forward regardless of the outcome here.  The County doesn’t want any more acre and a quarter lots with well and septic, per Randy Conaway, owner.  J. Thornhill continued, when the Campton Township Plan commission rejected this project he thinks they took up the cause of Lily Lake.  Campton Township Plan Commission Chairman Morgan stated, no, the developers got no resolution with Lily Lake so it went to the County by default.  Lily Lake wants acre and one third lots.  The County 2030 Plan has this area as part agricultural and the rest Rural Residential (1 acre or larger lots), so this is not consistent with 2030.  It is also not consistent with the Campton Township Land Use Plan because of sewage disposal – collective instead of individual septic, lot size – 12,500 square feet instead of 43, 264 square feet or greater, and our designation of this area as agricultural.  J. Kupar asked why is the County dictating to Lily Lake?  Answer was because they set up a grant, and they see the future going to sewage lagoon with land application of treated effluent.  J. Thornhill stated Lily Lake stated objections that it’s premature, and inconsistent with the 2030 Plan.  C. Boissonnas asked where is the water coming from?  Answer was one deep, and one shallow well.  J. Kupar stated this is near the critical recharge area for the Township.  Campton Township’s Kane County Board Representative Barb Wojnicki asked would you create a sanitary district?  Answer was yes.  The County wants a utility system.  N. Anderson asked did you look at acre and a quarter lots?  Answer was yes, the soils are very good.  C. Boissonnas stated he likes the outside open space but his concern is the water.  J. Thornhill stated this is a concept plan.  It is in the 45 day review period.  The report goes to the Regional Plan Commission.  John Pree of the Campton Township Plan Commission stated the Plan Commission put a lot of thought in this.  We have a lot of concerns.  There are three plans: the Counties 2030, Campton Townships, and Lily Lake.  This type of development does not belong in an unincorporated area.  This area is made for large lot subdivisions.  T. Stutesman moved the Board accept the unanimous recommendation of the Campton Township Plan Commission to discourage the Canada Corners PUD Concept Plan.  The motion was seconded by J. Kupar.  In a roll call vote Supervisor Anderson and Trustees Kupar, Boissonnas, and Stutesman voted aye.  Trustee Judy was absent.  The motion passed.
