Mr. Balling reviewed the draft ordinance with regard to POLITICAL SIGNS
political signs, details of which are contained in Mr.
Hruby's memo to Mr. Balling of September 26, 1989. Mr.
Raysa then commented on various legalities with regard to
sign restriction.
Lengthy discussion took place with regard to the amount of
signs, the way the signs are affixed, the size of the signs,
and the locations where signs are placed. This discussion
referred to all types of signs, not just political signs.
Moved by Mathias, seconded by O'Malley, to pass Ordinance
#89-77, amending Title 14 of the Municipal Code as it
concerns Political and Campaign Signs, removing the word
"staples" from Paragraph 1.B.
Trustee Marienthal stated that, in Paragraph A. under Public
Right-of-Way, it states that a sign may; be 3 square feet;
he would like to see that maximum changed to 2 square feet.
Trustee Marienthal amended the motion as above, changing the
maximum square footage to 2 square feet; Trustee O'Malley
seconded the amendment. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as
follows on the amendment:
AYES: 2 - Marienthal, O'Malley
NAYES: 4 - Glover, Reid, Shifrin, Mathias
Amendment defeated.
After further discussion, Trustees voted as follows on the
original motion:
AYES: 3 - Marienthal, Mathias, O'Malley
NAYES: 4 - Glover, Reid, Shifrin, President Clayton*
Motion defeated.
*President Clayton explained that she voted negatively
because she believes that it has to be "all or nothing"; she
has been listening to the Village Attorney with regard to
not being selective as to what types of signs can be allowed
in the right-of-way; she ran against an incumbant in 1979,
and did not find it necessary to use signs in the right of
way.
President Clayton stated that the vote just taken keeps the
present ordinance in effect, which limits the number and
size of signs on private property.
Trustee Reid stated that he does not think residents should
be limited to just one sign, although perhaps there can be a
limit on the square footage of signs in a yard.

Upon voice vote, the motion was unanimously declared
carried.
Steven Morris asked that this subject be moved to a later COTY PROPERTY
point on the agenda since not all of their people had
arrived.
Mr. Balling introduced the subject, and presented the SNOW & ICE CONTROL
"Excellence in Storage" award to President Clayton. PROGRAM
Mr. Rigsby summarized the major changes in the Snow and Ice
Control Report dated October, 1989.
Trustees O'Malley and Marienthal commended Mr. Boysen, Mr.
Rigsby and the staff for the excellent program and report.
President Clayton commented that the brochure going out to
the residents is an excellent idea.
Steven Morris, representing one of the partners in this COTY PROPERTY
project, made a presentation to the Board, details of which
are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling of
October 12, 1989. Mr. Morris stated that what they are
proposing to do is a unique concept; they see a tremendous
need for a very high-end type of auto wash facility in this
area; he does not believe there is another facility of this
type in the entire Chicago area; it is not a chain or a
franchise. They are trying to provide a service to the
people of Buffalo Grove and the surrounding area; the
facility will be on the eastern edge of Buffalo Grove on the
east side of Milwaukee Avenue. They have provided for the
maximum of stacking so they don't have to have cars backing
up onto Estonian Lane. What makes this car wash unique is
that all of the services are inside of the building; there
are also detailing stalls where a hand car wash is
available; customers will re-enter their cars inside the
building, except on very high volume days; everything is
self-contained. Mr. Morris stated that they also hope to
put up 10 manual, coin-operated facilities. They have over
an acre of retintion area; they have tried to meet with all
of the people around them, but have only been able to meet
with the people that are on their southern border, and the
gentleman who owns the residence on the eastern border; they
showed them what they planned on doing and how they hoped to
protect their aesthetics and they were satisfied with what
they were proposing
Mr. Morris stated that they are looking for a recommendation
to the Plan Commission so they can go into explicit detail
and address any type of concern so they can go forward with
the project.
In answer to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Morris
stated that the capacity of the conveyor is 220 cars per

hour, which is similar to most of the White Glove or Delta
Sonic car washes; it would be infrequent to have it run at
that speed becuase there is not a necessity to do that;
there are 60 cars of stacking; the capacity is there so that
they will never vack up into the street; the conveyor is
120' . Although the equipment can function at 220 cars per
hour, Mr. Morris does not think that they could function to
get a quality product at 220 cars per hour. Their number
one concern is to give the best quality service of any car
wash. At 220 cars per hour, they probably could not dry all
of the crs inside, as is their intention.
Trustee Glover asked how many gallons of water are used to
wash a car. Mike Levin, representing the car wash company,
stated that if the volume were to be 220 cars per hour,
there would be an additional set of booster blowers which
would add another 175 miles per hour of air velocity toward
the car before it gets into the primary blowing area. Their
intention is to use team finishing which would have several
people drying and finishing the car. They can comfortably
finish 14 cars at a time inside the car wash. With regard
to water, the system has not been settled on, but they have
been using 80-85% water recovery in the system.
Mr. Morris stated that the hours of operation would probably
be from 8:00-8:30 A.M. until 6:00-6:30 P.M. for full service
wash. The self-serve wand and the vacuum stations would be
open 24 hours.
Trustee Glover asked whether the compensatory storage would
be dry or wet retention. Fred Kaplan, architect, stated
that the compensatory and dry retention storage is based on
the Coty drawing, dry bottom pond, with the same capacity as
was approved by the Village when Coty was going to use the
property. They have re-shaped the pond slightly to get
enough length; they will have the same type of pond that
went through Engineering with the Coty proerty.
Trustee Glover stated that he recalled that there was a tie
wall; Mr.Kaplan stated that Trustee Glover was correct, and
it was approved with a 2: 1 bank; he stated that 75% of the
property is in the flood plain; pitch is a problem; it is a
difficult site; it is very shallow.
Trustee Glover has a lot of concerns about the land use; he
does not think this is the proper land use; he has no doubt
that there will be tremendous concern about a 24-hour
operation adjacent to the residential area on Estonian Lane;
the vacuums outside would be noisy and operated at all
hours; the wand washes themselves are noisy and would be
operated 24 hours; the stacking is insufficient for the wand
washes; there is only room for 2 cars behind each bay, and
cars would certainly be stacked out in the street; he could
not support this proposal.
7749
10/16/89
Trustee Shifrin is totally opposed to the concept; he thinks
it is the wrong use in the wrong place; he believes it would
be a myramid of problems; he thinks traffic would be a
nightmare; there would be disturbance of the surrounding
residential area; he is not quite sure about a commercial
use here at all, particularly this high intensity high
noise, high traffic; he is totally opposed to it and would
oppose recommendation to the Plan Commission.
Trustee O'Malley concurred with the previous comments and
Mr. Pfeil's memo; he thinks the Village has an obligation to
make sure that the user who goes in on this property will be
compatible with the surrounding area; he believes it is
important to consider the points raised by the Village
Planner; this could encourage similar intensive uses along
Milwaukee Avenue north of the site; he does not believe that
this proposal should be referred to the Plan Commission.
Trustee Reid stated that there is nothing else to be said;
he concurs with the previous statements.
Mr. Morris stated that they are not opposed to gearing this
so that they would not have any type of a problem with the
24-hour operation, exterior noise or exterior vacuums; he
wanted to talk to the neighbors about this; non of them had
objected, ho;wever they were at a point that they felt that
if it would have any negative effect on them, they would
stage it so htat it would be only during the day to
eliminate the noise, the lights and any type of outdoor
activity so everything would be done inside the building and
be self-contained.
President Clayton polled the Board: "YES" indicates favor
of the developer pursuing application; "NO" indicates
opposition:
YES: None
NO: Marienthal, Glover, Reid*, Shifrin*, Mathias, O'Malley
*Even with the elimination of the manual car wash.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Glover, to move to Executive EXECUTIVE MEETING
Meeting to discuss Litigation. Upon roll call, Trustees
voted as follows:
AYES: 6 - Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shifrin, Mathias,
O'Malley
NAYES: 0 - None
Motion declared carried.
