Tom Hietter, Midwest ConsultingEngineers, summarized the
Busch Parkway/Deerfield Parkway Alignment Alternative study,
with particular emphasis on the impact of this alignment on
Corporate Grove Drive.
Mr. Balling reported on a meeting with President Clayton,
Mr. Boysen and himself and the Lake County Highway
Department, stating that the Lake County Highway Department
indicated that they very strongly preferred Alternative 1
from a functional standpoint; they believe that, taking
Busch Parkway and Deerfield Parkway as separate elements
would be a mistake on their part, and would not recommend
the acceptance of Lake County for that purpose.
At this point, there is a strong preference from the staff
of Lake County for Alternative 1 as a pre-condition to
accept the road for operation and maintenance in the future.
Don Asher, representing the owners of the property at the
intersection, reviewed their proposed day care center, and
stated that they vigorously object to this proposal, stating
that they would not then have enough property for the day
care center.
Trustee Reid stated that he finds this design to be
unacceptable; he thinks that some better design has to be
found for that intersection.
Trustee Marienthal agrees that something has to be done so
that traffic can proceed north out of that intersection.
Mr. Balling stated that this was not presented tonight to
make a selection, but as information; the entire study will
be presented to the Village, and then hearings will have to
be held and a selection made.
Mr. Boysen stated that the entire study is scheduled to be
completed in June of this year, and the Board will be seeing
a complete presentation before that time.
President Clayton stated that a serious look should be taken
at Corporate Grove Drive.
EARLY LEARNING
Don Asher, representing the owners of the land, made a CENTER/CORPORATE
presentation to the Board for the Rainbow Path Early GROVE
Learning Center, Lots 17 and 18, Corporate Grove, details of
which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling of
January 11, 1990. Mr. Asher stated that there is a real
need for this type of facility in that area.
Chuck McCoy made a presentation to the Board, referring to
the Site Plan; he also made reference to the impact that the
alignment alternatives for Busch/Deerfield Parkways would
have on this plan.
7805
1/15/90
Arvid Olson, owner of the Early Learning Center, commented
on the general need for day care.
Mary Gilner, Marketing Director, commented on the research
that she has done with the firms in the Corporate Grove; she
stated that the firms were very much in favor of this type
of facility, and there is a real need for day care in this
particular area.
Mr. Olson stated that they would like a referral to the Plan
Commission so that they may move ahead while deliberations
are ongoing with regard to the intersection.
Mr. Asher commented on the traffic development in the area.
President Clayton stated that the Board faces a real dilemma
with this particular site; she believes day care is a real
need in this area, and thinks that an industrial park is an
ideal site; there is also a serious traffic congestion
problem, and this may be the last opportunity that this
Board has to address the problem to make a smooth traffic
flow.
Trustee Glover stated there is a great need for day care
centers in the area; he is not sure this is the right spot
for a center; he wants the Plan Commission and traffic
consultant to look closely at the traffic coming in and out
of the driveway; he would favor referral to the Plan
Commission, but he is concerned that it will be a waste of
time for both the developer and the Plan Commission, the
developer would be taking a risk to spend time and money
developing the plan before the intersection issue is
resolved.
Moved by Glover, seconded by Reid, to refer the Early
Learning Center/Corporate Grove to the Plan Commission.
Because of the serious traffic problems, Trustee Marienthal
believes that it would be doing a disservice to both the
developer and the Plan Commission to move forward with this
plan; he believes it should be withheld until the
intersection issue is resolved.
Trustee Reid stated that the developer has heard the
problem, and if they desire to take the risk, knowing all of
the potential problems, it should be his choice.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows on the motion:
AYES: 3 - Glover, Reid, Mathias*
NAYES: 2 - Marienthal, O'Malley
ABSENT: 1 - Shifrin
Motion declared carried.
*When it comes to a choice, he will go with traffic as the
priority.
