Mr. Cooper stated that they are looking for approval of what was approved by Planning and Zoning, and an indication from the Board whether or not the Board will support a right-out if it is approved by the County. The Walgreen request for a right out was made after the Plan Commission approval was granted. It was suggested that the Board approve this as it is shown, and if the approval is granted by the County, the Board would listen to it, and then get the opinion of the traffic engineer, and deal with it at the time; it is not necessary to deal with it any further at this time, since it is not known whether it will be approved by the County. The reason for right in right out on Buffalo Grove Road is based on the Cook County Highway department not allowing a right in, right out on Lake Cook Road. It was not granted by Cook County. Moved by Braiman, seconded by Glover, to pass Ordinance #96-48, approving a Planned Unit Development, Rezoning to the B-5 District, Special Uses in the B-5 District and a Preliminary Plan - Walgreen's, Lake-Cook and Buffalo Grove Roads, in accordance with the memorandum from Robert Pfeil to Lee Szymborski dated June 27, 1996, and the draft that is contained therein.

Several comments were made by Trustees, stating that the sign is now more acceptable, and also most Trustees stated that it is not the business of the Board to determine what a retail store should be named. Trustee Glover thanked Crate & Barrel for their cooperation in complying with the request of the Board. Moved by Glover, seconded by Braiman, to accept Appearance Commission Recommendation for the Crate & Barrel, McHenry Road - Signs, details of which are contained in Mr. Szymborski's memo to the Board of June 27, 1996. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 6 - Marienthal, Reid, Rubin, Braiman, Hendricks, Glover NAYS: 0 - None Motion declared carried. BUSCH GROVE COMMUNITY PARK John Green, Groundwork, Ltd. , made a presentation to the Board, details of which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Szymborski of June 27, 1996. Trustee Braiman noted a concern with the storm water drainage, to which Mr. Green responded. Trustee Braiman stated that he is concerned that there will not be sufficient parking, and he believes there should be as much parking as possible as soon as possible. Trustee Reid asked that staff review the current standard for parking, and he thinks that standard might need to be re-examined in light of what the proposed uses are on the parcel; if the parking is developed in phases, a ratio needs to be set regarding what gets developed as to how many parking spaces are available; he confirmed with Mr. Green that the lighting in the parking lot would be in �� �/ I �� �� I - ___ . _ 9926 7/1/96 place when the parking lot is open. Trustee Hendricks is also concerned with the parking, and he would like to see the parking lot built out entirely; Mr. Green responded as to the reason they are planning on the phasing. In answer to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Green stated that all of the work in the first phase is anticipated to take place simultaneously. Trustee Glover stated that she foresees a parking problem if the soccer field is going to be put in place immediately, and believes adequate parking for that area is essential. Trustee Marienthal stated that the initial parking lot needs to be larger, since he sees cars parked along Buffalo Grove Road now. Mr. Green reviewed the methods that the Park District is using to generate funds for this project. Moved by Braiman, seconded by Rubin, to refer the Buffalo Grove Park District/Busch Grove Community Park northeast corner development plan to the Plan Commission for review. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 6 - Marienthal, Reid, Rubin, Braiman, Hendricks NAYS: 0 - None Motion declared carried. SCARSDALE CENTER, PHASE 2 John Green, Groundwork Ltd. , representing Frank Morelli, Scarsdale Development, made a presentation to the Board regarding the proposed business development at the southeast corner of Aptakisic and Buffalo Grove Roads, details of which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Szymborski of June 27, 1996. Trustee Glover stated that she is concerned with the blank commercial building; she would rather see this tied in more closely with what already exists. Trustee Marienthal stated that he believes the character of Buffalo Grove Road going north is residential; he does not think that a commercial development at that particular center would be the best possible scenario, and he would like the developer to take a look at what is shown on the Master Plan, which is office; he has a problem with commercial or a bank. In answer to a question from Trustee Hendricks, Mr. Green stated that they do not have potential clients. Trustee Reid stated that he has trouble with the vagueness; he sees the potential for this becoming a strip center. Trustee Rubin believes that some type of commercial use on that corner makes sense; he likes the idea of B-3 zoning so that the uses can be controlled, and he believes the opportunity should be given to the Plan Commission to look at 9927 7/1/96 possible uses covered by B-3. Moved by Rubin, seconded by Braiman, to refer the proposed Business Development/Groundwork Ltd. , southeast corner of Aptakisic and Buffalo Grove Roads, with a B-3, taking into account the strong reservations voiced tonight about what type of commercial use, if any, should be on the corner. Trustee Reid stated that this is a logical extension of the Scarsdale property, but he wants to make sure that we start from the point where we ended up with the Scarsdale Development, which is why he suggested the limitation of the uses. Trustee Braiman stated that his only concern with the office/research is that use can be difficult to fill as well, but he believes that is something that can be handled by the Plan Commission. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows on the motion: AYES: 5 - Reid, Rubin, Braiman, Hendricks, Glover NAYS: 1 - Marienthal Motion declared. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Reid, seconded by Rubin, to adjourn the meeting. Upon voice vote, the motion was unanimously declared carried. The meeting was adjourned at 9:21 P.M. Jane M.
