Street Address: 1250 Radcliffe Road, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089 PI N: 03-08-101-026-0000 6 EXHIBIT C Minutes from the April 4, 2023, Planning&Zonin�Commission Meetin� Silk Road International School—Chicago(SRIS—Chicago) 1250 Radcliffe Road S RIS The mission of Silk Road [nternational School —Chicago is to provide a culturally responsive learning environment and a high-quality educational experience. Our motto is "Culture is Key, Knowledge is Forever." SRIS-Chicago will launch in 2023 with an enrollment of DayCare children and preKindergarten - 3rd Grade students. The program will combine curricula from Cambridge Assessment [nternational Education and Illinois State Standards. A succinct way to describe the business would be an infant-toddler day care, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, 1 st- 3rd grade elementary school, and weekend activity center. A typical week of child care services would include the following; children will have engaging activities from early morning into the late afternoon. The activities will be based on the age of the babies/children. This includes playtime, snacks, naps (more frequent for the younger children), physical activities, lunch-time, quiet read/art time, late snack, and games. Enrollment Day Care students will be divided into 3 distinct groups; 0-2 years old (28 children), 2-3 years old (28 children), 3-8 years old (40 children), and 8 and older(40 children). The school students will be divided into the 5 grade levels; pre-Kindergarten (40 students), Kindergarten (40 students), ls`Grade (40 students), 2"d Grade (40 students), and 3`d Grade (40 students). [n both situations, the groups will be divided into cohorts; 28 will have two cohorts of 14 and 40 will have two cohorts of 20. We plan for a total of 136 daycare children and 200 Pre-K to 3`d Grade students. With a total of 336 pupils, the arrival and departure times will be different for the daycare and school system.These are maximum enrollment projections for the school and daycare. We will know the extent of enrollment success by the Fall and early Winter of 2023. Conservative Projection A conservative projection would say 68 students (50%of max enrollment) in Year 1 (2023). This wou(d mean 1 cohort per group in daycare and 1 cohort per grade-level in the school. This would require only half of the academic and daycare staff. It would not change peak hours, it would reduce the volume. Based on evaluations from engineers, our day care and elementary school will generate a limited volume of traffic as access to the site should continue to be provided via the full access drive off Thornton Lane. The access drive off Radcliffe Road should be gated at all times and only utilized as an emergency access, if needed. SRIS`. Arrival and Departure Times (Peak Hours) SRIS - School Arrival and Departure times for School Students: 8:45 AM and 3:35 PM (Mon-Fri) Arrival and Departure Times (Peak Hours) SRIS - Daycare Arrival and Departure times for Daycare systems: 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM: (Mon - Fri) Peak drop-off time: 7:15 to 8:15 AM Peak pick-up time: 4:30 to 5:30 PM NOTE: The dismissal peak hour of the elementary school will not overlap with the evening peak hour of the day care center thus providing for good synergy between the two land uses. Drop Off& Pick-Up Locations: Drop-off/pick-up ofdaycare children will occur on the north side ofthe building. Drop-off/pick- up of elementary school children will occur on the east side of the building with cars stacking along the west, south and east sides of the building. This will minimize traffic conflicts between the two uses especially with daycare parents walking their children to and from the building. To accommodate our staff of 30 teachers/administrators/custodians, we will provide 30 parking spots for staff. There will be 15 parking spots left for visiting parents/vendors. This requires a total of 45 parking spots to be maintained around our facility. Arrival & Departure Process: All vehicles will be required to pull all the way up to the end of the drop-off/pick-up zone before they are allowed to load/unload students. Parents will not be allowed to park in the drop-off/pick- up zones and enter the school. Two SRIS staff inembers will be stationed along the eastern side of the building. SRIS staff inembers will also be stationed at the access drive off Thornton Lane when needed to aid vehicles exiting the campus. Vehicles will be moved in groups of three or four once parents have dropped off or picked up their children. Future of the Site: Our plan is that the organization will grow into an after-school enrichm;.nt& weekend program for all students (preK-12). These programs wi(I consist of Kyrgyzstan History classes, Kyrgyz Cultural lessons, and Kyrgyz language classes. Additional weekend activities will include athletic events/competitions for center teams (wrestling, chess, mathematical Olympiads, etc.). There wiil be concerts for the komuz players, recitations of the Epic of Manas, poetry recitals, and talent shows. Finally, outside of daycare/school events, there will be plenty of occasions to bring families inside for special holiday celebrations (Nowruz, Kyrgyz Constitution Day, Victory Day, New Years, etc.). SRIS Chicago will be a safe place for families to bring their children to be nourished and educated, as well as a place to find fellowship and community.

MEMORANDUM TO: Medetbek Begmatov SRIS Holdings LLC FROM: Javier Millan Principa) Luay Aboona, PE, PTOE Principal DATE: March 14, 2023 SUBJECT: Traffic Impact Statement Proposed Silk Road International School Buffalo Grove, I(linois This memorandum summarizes the results and findings of a traffic impact statement prepared by Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, [nc.) for the proposed Silk Road International School (SRIS) to be located at 1250 Radcliffe Road in Buffalo Grove, lllinois. The site is located in the southeast corner of the intersection of Old Arlington Heights Road with Thornton Lane and currently contains a vacant building that was previously occupied by the Little University Child Care Center and Canaan Church. As proposed, the existing building will be remodeled and occupied by a daycare center and a school for pre-kindergarten through 3`d grade students. The daycare will have a maximum enrollment of 136 children and the elementary school wil( have a maximum enrollment of 200 students with a total of 30 staff inembers. Approximately 121 off- street parking spaces will be provided within the site. Access will continue to be provided via the existing access drives off Thornton Lane and Radcliffe Road. The purpose of this traffic statement was to estimate the traffic to be generated by the daycare center and elementary school and review the access and circulation system proposed to serve the facility. Figure 1 shows an aerial view of the site. A copy of the preliminary site plan is located in the Appendix. Existing Roadway System Characteristics The characteristics of the existing roadways near the facility are described below. The site is served by Tho�-nton Lur�e and Ruc�clijfe Roucl Both roads provide one lane in each direction. Thornton Lane's approach to Old Arlington Heights Road and Radcliffe Road's approach to Thornton Lane are under stop sign control. On-street parking is not allowed on the north side of Thornton Lane and on the west side of Radcliffe Road. Both roads have a posted speed limit of 25 mph and are under the jurisdiction of the Village of Buffalo Grove. It should be noted that Old Arlington Heights Road is a north-south local roadway that extends from Dundee Road south to Arlington Heights Road where it becomes University Drive. The road, in the vicinity of the site, provides two lanes in each direction and is under traffic signal control at its intersection with Arlington Heights Road. Its intersection with Dundee Road is restricted to three-quarter prohibiting left turns out with outbound movements under stop sign control. . r; � '\'-.� � > � . w��_, , „' ,j •. +t � 3 ► '�=iJ � , - r' '� d � �� ' '' � j� I �' ..

As proposed, the plans call for a daycare center and an elementary school with access to be provided via the two existing access drives (one off Thornton Lane and another off Radcliffe Road). Site Access Access to the proposed Silk Road International School will be provided via the following: • A full-movement access drive off Thornton Lane located approximately 175 feet east of Thornton Lane's stop bar with Old Arlington Heights Road. The access drive provides one inbound lane and one outbound lane. Outbound movements should be under stop sign control. • An outbound only access drive off Radcliffe Road located approximately 410 feet south of Radcliffe Road's stop bar with Thornton Lane. This access drive should be gated at all times and only be used as an emergency access drive should there be a need for it. Outbound movements should be under stop sign control. Silk Road International School Characteristics Below is a summary of the anticipated operation of the daycare and school: Daycare • Hours of operation: Monday through Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. • Anticipated maximum enrollment: 136 children. • Staff population: 14 • Peak drop-off time: 7:15 to 8:15 A.M. • Peak pick-up time: 4:30 to 5:30 P.M. Elementary School • Anticipated arrival and dismissal times: 8:25 A.M.and 3:05 P.M.(Monday through Friday) • Anticipated maximum enrollment: 200 students. • Staff Population: 16 Trip Generation Estimates The number of peak hour vehicle trips estimated to be generated by the proposed daycare and school was estimated based on the"Day Care"(Land-Use Code 565)and the"Elementary School"(Land- Use Code 520) trip rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (iTE) Trip Generation Manual, 1 1`� Edition. Table 1 summarizes the estimated trips for the peak hours. 3 Table 1 SILK ROAD [NTERNATIONAL SCHOOI. PF.AI� HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUMES � � � � �� . � � . � � ' - � � � • 1 � . 1 � : � � , 56� va} Carc (1 i6 �2 �6 98 I 9 21 40 �15 51 96 children) Elementary 520 School (200 80 68 148 41 49 90 15 17 32 students) Total 132 114 246 60 70 130 60 68 128 Based on the above, the elementary school dismissal time will primarily occur outside the peak hour of pick-up activity of the daycare center. However, a review of the anticipated peak drop-off time for the daycare and the elementary school indicates that there will be an overlap in the morning peak hour trip generation. In order to spread out the traffic load and minimize the impact on the adjacent roadways during any specific hour, it is recommended that the elementary school day begins at 8:45 A.M. and end at 3:35 P.M. Table 2 shows the 15-minute anticipated traffic volumes for each land use based on [TE trip generation distribution factors and data from other day care facilities and elementary schools. As can be seen from Table 2 and assuming the recommended shift in the elementary school starting time, there will only be a 15-minute overlap in the drop-off operation of the two proposed uses. 4 Table 2 15 MINUTE INTERVAL SILK ROAD INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL TRIP ESTIMATES (ASSUMING 8:45 A.M.

Furthermore, the proposed staggered times will have a maximum outbound demand of 27 vehicles in 15 minutes (8:00 to 8:15 A.M.) which can be accommodated by the single access drive off Thornton Lane and will not have a significant impact on the traffic operations of the adjacent roadway system. Lastly, given the access drive is located approximately 175 feet east of Thornton Lane's stop bar with Old Arlington Heights Road coupled with the gaps created by the traffic signal at the intersection of Arlington Heights Road with Old Arlington Heights Road and the staggered trip generation, it is anticipated that westbound traffic on Thornton Lane will not back up to the full access drive. Pick-Up and Drop-Off Operations Evaluation Daycare Given the young age ofthe daycare children, all children will be escorted in and out of the facility. All drop off/pick up of daycare children will occur on the north side of the building where approximately 20 spaces will be designated and signed for drop-off/pick-up operations. Once parents have dropped off/picked up their children and returned to their vehicles, they should exit via the access drive off Thornton Lane. Elementary School All drop-off/pick-up of elementary school children will occur on the east side of the building with vehicles entering via the Thornton Lane access drive and proceeding in a counterclockwise direction traveling westbound and then southbound and wrapping around the building's west, south, and east sides. Based on a review of the site plan, this proposed drop-off/pick-up operation will accommodate approximately 53 vehicles internally without spilling onto Thornton Lane. In order to ensure that the drop-off/pick-up operations are efficient, the following measures are recommended: • All vehicles should be required to pull all the way up to the end of the drop-off/pick-up zone before they are allowed to load/unload students. Parents should not be allowed to park in the drop-off/pick-up zones and enter the school. Parents needing to visit the school will have to park their vehicle in one of the designated parking spaces for visitors or make alternate arrangements with the school. � Provide staff to aid in the drop-off/pick-up operation. It is recommended that a minimum of two aides be stationed along the eastern side of the building. This will ensure stacking is being used efficiently and that drivers are moving along the line and reducing any unnecessary queueing. 6 • Consideration should be given to moving vehicles in goups of three or four once parents have dropped offor picked up their children. Moving vehicles in groups will help speed up the process and ensure that queues are controlled in a more efficient manner. • The school should educate parents through flyers, e-mails, and the school website regarding the policies and procedures with respect to drop-off/pick-up operations. School officials and the traffic aides will need to enforce these policies and procedures. • Provide staff at the access drive off Thornton Lane when needed to aid vehicles exiting the site. Parking Evaluation The development is proposing to provide 121 off-street parking spaces. These number of parking spaces will exceed the required number of parking spaces per the Village of Buffalo Grove Code. In order to determine the adequacy of the parking supply, parking ratios published by ITE in the Parking Generation Mam�al, Srh Edition were utilized. Based on Land-Use Code 565 (`Day Care Center"), a parking ratio of 0.24 spaces per student will be required and for Land-Use Code 520 (`Elementary School"), a parking ratio of 0.13 spaces per student will be required. This will translate into a total peak parking demand of 59 vehicles, which can easily be accommodated by the proposed number of parking spaces. 7 Conclusion Based on the preceding evaluation, the following conclusions and recommendations have been made: • The proposed day care and elementary school will generate a limited volume of traffic. � Access to the site should continue to be provided via the full access drive off Thornton Lane. The access drive off Radcliffe Road should be gated at all times and only utilized as an emergency access, if needed. • To minimize the overlap with the daycare traffic, it is recommended that the elementary school starting time be at 8:45 A.M. and the dismissal time at 3:35 P.M. • Given the recommended change in the starting and dismissal times for the elementary school,only a 15 minute overlap will occur during the morning peak hour. Converse(y, the dismissal peak hour of the elementary school will not overlap with the evening peak hour of the day care center thus providing for good synergy between the two land uses. • All drop-off/pick-up of daycare children will occur on the north side of the building. • All drop-off/pick-up of elementary school children will occur on the east side of the building with cars stacking along the west, south and east sides of the building. • The recommended drop off and pick up locations will minimize traffic conflicts between the two uses especially with daycare parents waiking their children to and from the building. • All vehicles should be required to pull all the way up to the end of the drop-off/pick-up zone before they are allowed to load/unload students. Parents should not be allowed to park in the drop-off/pick-up zones and enter the school. • Provide staff to aid in the drop-off/pick-up operation. It is recommended that a minimum of two aides be stationed along the eastern side of the building. • Consideration should be given to moving vehicles in groups of three or four once parents have dropped off or picked up their children. • The school should educate parents through flyers, e-mails, and the school website regarding the policies and procedures with respect to drop-off/pick-up operations. School officials and the traffic aides will need to enforce these policies and procedures. • Provide staff at the access drive off Thornton Lane when needed to aid vehicles exiting the site. • The proposed number of parking spaces will be more than adequate to accommodate the projected peak parking demand. 8 A endix pp — _ _ ` w.M . . .�• �- - �.` SIONIIII'All� , '"' '�� .......�.. � - - -.. _ SS32100V ` v.M<.< �_-�'T/ '�I'I�I�� =t 6 5 e� � V^NI4 —__ ___._. a .�e� :. `. �� —__ —_._ .._ .. _ �ul'6ui 6u3si��oW .��a 1 w'� w �c� �� c�? zp w Y a t7 ' � F a2 _ I U Y __ � � U W a - �/� Q g 0 _ V 1 t�'1 F .0 -�..x-i� ��: /\ 6'.s„ �' 7 i� � �Py�� ii�= ' � . .

Moodhe asked staff about outlots. Purvis provided information about the utilities and maintenance of the property. Com. Moodhe asked staff about outlot 8 and asked if it is in the Villaqe's interest to maintain the utilities. Sianis, Village Civil Engineer ll, explained the retention of the outlot e and how the transmission of water occurs between the Village and the Water Commission. Com. Moodhe asked about water buildup concerns on the subject property. Sianis said he heard that the site can get swampy. They have asked the petitioner to add storm sewers within the area to mitigate the issue. Com. Moodhe asked if the culvert will be maintained. Sianis said yes it will be maintained. Com. Moodhe asked if the plans are any higher than the buildings to the south. Goodman said it is a 35 foot limit. Purvis said the proposed height of the structures is permitted, and the proposed townhomes wil/be two-stories, similar to the sing/e family homes to the south. Com. Moodhe asked if the developer will be using the same materials to construct the townhomes to create a similar look of the neighborhood. 04/4/2023 Goodman said they generally use siding. The genera/look and feel will match the neighborhood surroundings. Com. Moodhe asked if the petitioner took into consideration the fact that neighbors will now have to look at townhomes in an area that has been open for a/ong time. Goodman said they are looking to he/p improve the parce/and the va/ue of other surrounding properties. Com. Moodhe asked if there are any variations. Purvis said it is comp/etely compliant with the R-7 District and Residential PUD requirements. Com. Moodhe asked if there would be variations if it was not rezoned.
