Hi All!!

Mr. Marion Baran was able to obtain the information below:

>

> The Hobson West Ponds total acreage is 8.9 acres.

> Of the 8.9 acres,

> 1.9 acres is the north retention pond (water)

> 2.1 acres is the south retention pond.(water)

> 4.9 acres is land.

>

Please note that these figures include a small "sliver" of land along

the

east edge of the subject property.

If the subject property is combined with the existing pond parks the

total

would be a 15 acre contiguous Park which could be utilized for any

number of

programs.

Mr. Marion Baran was also able to obtain the information below:

>

> Some of the trees located at 1000 Plainfield/Naperville Road are:

> Siberian Elm (most numerous)

> Pin Oak

> Variety of maples

> Box alder

> Blue Spruce

>

> Many of these trees can attain a height of 60 to 80 feet.

One of the positive features claimed to be in favor of the proposed

townhouse development is that the roof ridge was much lower at 30 feet

versus 40 feet for a single family structure. The word picture

implication is that the trees not cut down would still be above the

townhouses roof ridge line; but not above the single family roof ridge

lines.

The heights attained by the trees which have already reached, or are

nearing, full maturity at 60-80 feet are significantly higher than the

ridge

line of single family roof ridge lines.

Thus townhouses will not be more aesthetically pleasing.
