item up on the agenda; there were no such objections. (Beechwood Drive
Parking)
Allen Dannenberg, 50 Beechwood Road, representing approxi-
mately 50 people living on Beechwood Road, noted the hard-
ship being placed on those residents by having the "No
Parking" restrictions on their street.
Mr. Kuenkler responded, stating that he believes that
changing the parking restriction to 8:00 A.M.-3:00 P.M. on
school days would solve the problem.
Trustee Reid suggested that staff redraft the proposal, with
presentation to the Board at the next meeting.
Trustee Shields questioned whether something could be done
in the interim to relieve the problem for the residents.
After some discussion, it was determined the current signs
would be removed, and re-posted with changes after the

that the high school would be notified of this change, and
Temporary Chairman Marienthal stated that the residents
would have to live with the student parking until the new

PUBLIC HEARING - SIMS PROPERTY ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
Temporary Chairman Marienthal read from the Notice of Public
Hearing published in the Daily Herald on November 19, 1988;
the meeting was called to order at 7:57 P.M.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal then swore in Lawrence
Freedman, Edward Schwartz and John Martin to give testimony
at this Hearing.
Mr. Freedman reminded the Board that this matter initially
was referred by the Village Board as a proposed development
upon annexation pursuant to the R-2 zoning classification.
There were a number of changes made in the plan, many at the
suggestion on the Plan Commission, to create a better access
and configuration, and as a result of that and testimony
presented to the Plan Commission, they requested a hybrid
relative to the zoning classifications be presented, result-
ing in a mixed use utilizing both R-2 and R-3 classifica-
tions.
John Martin made a presentation to the Board regarding the
subject property, details of which are contained in Mr.
Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling of November 30, 1988.
Mr. Freedman referred to his letter to Mr. Balling of
December 1, 1988 with regard to an inclusion in the
Agreement of a provision whereby the Village would enact a
recapture ordinance for the benefit of this piece of
property relative to sewer, water and the additional
roadways which would be benefitting other properties.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal asked if there were any other
groups or agencies wishing to give testimony tonight; there
were none.
Trustee Shifrin stated that he believes the proposed plan is
a good compromise; he would also like to see the possibility
of the sidewalk explored, with the developer being
reimbursed if the other property does come into the Village.
Trustee Reid also stated that the developer has worked with
the staff and has come up with a plan that would be
beneficial to the Village; he would like to see a sidewalk
provided.
Mr. Balling commented on the procedure for recapture.
Trustee Reid stated that he is not opposed to the concept of
a recapture; he does not think that the Board is in a
position tonight to be able to make a recommendation as to
the ratio, and he thinks staff needs to study all the
variables, and make a recommendation to the Board at the
next meeting.
7540
12/5/88
Temporary Chairman Marienthal noted that the parcels to the
south of this parcel are rather small, and the developer's
street is basically a continuation of a street that is
already in place.
Mr. Freedman stated that the language he suggested in the
agreement did not have a percentage; the developer would be
willing to let the agreement refer to some form of equitable
basis and have it be resolved after annexation; they want
the Board to consider the concept.
Trustee Reid stated that he would expect to see a specified
method of distribution when this comes before the Board
again in two weeks.
Mr. Freedman asked if the Board could be polled as to
whether or not they would be amenable to the concept,
presuming an equitable basis could be worked out; he would
be willing to meet with staff to work out the details.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal also would like to know how
this would be worked out from the standpoint of
administration.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal polled the Board; "YES"
indicated favor of the Board considering a recapture
ordinance as outlined here this evening by Mr. Freedman, and
the staff, and the memo from Mr. Pfeil; "NO" indicates
opposition:
Mr. Raysa clarified that, no matter how the polling comes
out, the Village is not changing the Village's position as
far as to water, sewer, and storm as far as oversizing; the
Board is only referring to roads not sidewalks.
Trustee Shields stated that he understood that the bikepath
was also included.
YES: Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NO: Marienthal
Mr. Balling answered a question from Trustee Mathias with
regard to the maintenance of the detention area.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal asked if there were any
questions from the general public with regard to this item;
there were none.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal continued the Public Hearing
until December 19, 1988, at which time, because of the
inability of Mr. Freedman to attend, it will be continued to
January 9, 1989; the Hearing was continued at 8:26 P.M.

Tim Hernandez, Director of Planning for Pulte Homes, made a CHERBOURG
presentation to the Board with regard to the request of the TOWNHOMES
developer as to the size of decks being allowed to be built
in the subdivision, details of which are in Mr. Pfeil's memo
to Mr. Balling of December 1, 1988.
Trustee Reid stated that he is disappointed in this request,
and that the developer is pleading a case which should have
been pleaded in front of the Plan Commission; he would
prefer to support the recommendation from the Plan
Commission that variations be handled on a case-by-case
basis by the ZBA, or that the developer re-present his case
to the Plan Commission.
After getting some answers to his questions from Mr.
Hernandez, Trustee Mathias stated that he does not believe
7544
12/5/88
the Board has sufficient information to approve this on a
blanket basis, and he agrees with Trustee Reid that they
should be handled on a case-by-case basis by the ZBA, or
should go back to the Plan Commission.
Trustee Shifrin stated that he would like to see what type
of an amendment would be proposed to the covenants in terms
of how this would be controlled; he would need to see more
specifics before giving consideration; he also believes the
Plan Commission should review.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal stated that certain lots need
to be reviewed by the ZBA; he believes the developer should
meet with both the Plan Commission and the ZBA to come up
with a solution.
II
Mr. Raysa stated that he and the staff have taken the
position that, if it is a P.U.D. and a variation is
requested, especially for the whole subdivision, it should
go to the Plan Commission.
Moved by Shields, seconded by Mathias, to send the Cherbourg
Townhomes P.U.D. amendment to accommodate deck additions to •
the Plan Commission for further study.
Several residents or future residents of the development
stated to the Board that they wish to have decks larger than
offered; the Village Board informed the residents that they
could go to the ZBA for individual variations, but the Board
does not wish to place a blanket variation on the entire
subdivision.
After further discussion as to the size of deck allowed,
Trustees votes as follows on the motion:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.
Tim Beechick, Hamilton Partners, made a presentation to the ORDINANCE #88-120
Board, details of which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to (Riverwalk)
Mr. Balling of December 1, 1988. Mr. Beechick distributed
renderings of the initial project as conceived, but showing
the change in design of the roof elevation. The developer
believes the change in the roof design still complements the
design of the building; Mr. Beechick then displayed the
original site plan for the project, and explained the
changes which would be made if the County proceeds with the
intersection improvement. The developer is before the Board
tonight to ask that the ordinance be passed to allow them to
proceed with the first phase of the project.
In answer to a question from Trustee Mathias, Mr. Beechick
stated that it is hard for them to speculate what the final
7545
12/5/88
design of the second building would be; they would like to
feel comfortable with representing that the building will be
a clone of the first building, but if they did that, they
would have a problem with square footage; they are
attempting to annex additional land to the north.
Trustee Mathias stated that he would be more comfortable
knowing the plans for the second building, because he would
like to see the second building identical to the first one.
Mr. Beechick stated that they do have the land to the north
under control.
Trustee Reid also stated that it is the expectation that the
buildings will be mirror image buildings.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal stated that he shares the
concerns of the other Trustees, and noted that, when the
developer comes into the addition of those lands to the
north, the consideration for this increase in square footage
be addressed in the next phase; Mr. Beechick stated that he
would feel very comfortable with that.
Mr. Balling brought up a question of right-of-way to the
Board; the developer has accommodated and modified his plan
to meet the objectives of the preliminary plan of the Cook
County Highway Department for the intersection; the Board
should be aware that this is not an approved design at this
time. The County has not made a recommendation on this
matter. The Village believes that this is the most feasible
alignment, and has asked the petitioner to modify his
planning to accommodate this alignment; however, the County
is not fully committed to this alignment, and may come back
and modify their plans in the future. Because of that, the
Village has set up the right-of-way aquisition in an unusual
fashion, and explained same by referring to the site plan.
The petitioner has pledged not to improve anything south of
the right-of-way line until the matter is resolved by the
County.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Mathias, to pass Ordinance
#88-120, approving a Development Plan Alteration for
Riverwalk.
Mr. Raysa stated that there appears to be a difference in
numbers between Mr. Pfeil's memo and the exhibits, and he
would like Board's permission to conform the exhibits to Mr.
Pfeil's memo as far as gross square footage. Trustee Reid
amended the motion to accommodate Mr. Raysa's request, and
Trustee Mathias seconded the amendment. Upon roll call,
Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.
7546
12/5/88
Mr. Balling introduced the 1989 Golf Course Budgets, details RESOLUTION #88-68
of which are contained in Mr. Brimm's memo to him of (Golf Fund
November 22, 1988. The revised budget reflects changes Budgets)
recommended by the Village Board with respect to comparative
rates between residents and non-residents. Mr. Brimm has
come up with a weighted average on rates between residents
and non-residents which is approximately 1/3 discount on the
rate structure for residents. Mr. Balling noted that the
1.3 is not a 33% discount on every rate, but a weighted
average on the total rate fee structure.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal noted that the differential in
rates at the Buffalo Grove Golf Club does not occur in rates
at the Arboretum Golf Club.
Mr. Molinaro then explained in detail how he arrived at the
rates to be charged at the Arboretum Golf Club.
Trustee Reid agreed with comments made, and stated that he
thinks it is imperative that the Board establish the
differential between the resident and the non-resident from
day one.
Mr. Balling cautioned the Board with regard to the
marketability of a growing golf course in its first year of
operation and the signal that sends to market with respect
to the competitiveness of this golf course in the future.
There are premium golf courses that opened too early and
charged too much and then golfers become disenchanted and do
not go back. The Arboretum Golf Course will be a more
expensive course to operate, but will be a premium course
which will warrant the premium pricing structure once it is
mature. Staff believes that there should be a large
discount for residents, but the course must be marketed
before claiming premium rates.
Trustee Mathias agreed that there should be a marketing
plan, but he believes that the differential between resident
and non-resident should be set now.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal polled the Board: "YES"
indicates favor of the differential now in place for the
Buffalo Grove Golf Club be put into place for the Arboretum
Golf Course, with this being the pricing philosophy for Golf
Course operations, not distinguishing between the two
courses; "NO" indicated opposition:
YES: Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NO: None
ABSENT: Glover
Motion declared carried.
7547
12/5/88
Mr. Brimm recommended the following rates: $22.50 resident,
$12.75 after 3:00 P.M. and $9.00 after 6:00 P.M.
Trustee Reid suggested making the $12.75 rate $13.00, since
the rates would be cut in half for 9 holes the first year,
and it would create problems trying the cut the $12.75 in
half.
Moved by Shields seconded by Reid, to pass Resolution
#88-68, adopting the Fiscal 1989 Program Budgets for the
Buffalo Grove Golf Club and the Arboretum Golf Course Funds.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Molinaro thanked the Board, Mr. Balling and the staff,
and particularly Mr. Brimm for their help and support.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal thanked Mr. Molinaro for
keeping the new golf course on target.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal declared a recess from 9:58 RECESS
P.M. until 10: 10P.M.
Gregg Goslin made a brief presentation to the Board, MILL CREEK
referring to the comments made by the Board at the last APARTMENTS
meeting, and reviewing the revised plan; details of this
presentation are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr.
Balling of December 1, 1988.
Mr. Goslin reviewed the emergency access in answer to a
question from Trustee Shifrin.
In answer to a question from Trustee Reid, Mr. Goslin stated
that they have not devised a landscaping plan as yet;
Trustee Reid suggested that heavy berming might alleviate
the lighting problem from the car dealership.
Trustee Mathias stated that he appreciated the developer
addressing his concern with regard to density.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal stated that they are still in
excess of the maximum allowable dwelling unit count, which
they will have to address with the Plan Commission.
Moved by Mathias, seconded by Reid, to refer the Apartments
at Mill creek to the Plan Commission. Upon roll call,
trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.
7548
12/5/88
Stan Lieberman, developer, introduced Phil Kupritz, TOWN CENTER
architect, to the Board; he then made a presentation to the
Board regarding the change they are requesting; details of
this change are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling
of December 1, 1988.
Mr. Kupritz reviewed their request, showing a drawing of
Phase I, as well as the working drawing sheet; he stated
that the original plans as approved were larger than what
they are intending to build, and the parking lots as they
are presently drawn and approved are greater in capacity
than what is necessary.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Mathias, to approve the change in
plan as proposed for the Town Center, Phase II Office
Addition.
In answer to a question from Mr. Raysa, Mr. Leiberman stated
that this is called Building C. Mr. Leiberman stated that
they were originally approved for 218,000 square feet total,
and this change would bring them to 172,000 square feet
total.
Mr. Kupritz stated that the amount they are talking about in
this change is 12,500 square feet gross.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows on the motion:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Balling explained the proposal for subject property, PEKARA PROPERTY
details of which are contained in Mr. Boysen's memo to him KIMBALL HILL
of November 23, 1988. Also distributed for Board review
was a capsule summary of the Donahue & Associates consulting
report which was done by the Lake County Public Works
Department, which indicates the rationale for planning in
requesting the 53 acres, the third page of which contains an
exhibit which identifies the improvements. It is upon a
portion of the property that Kimball Hill is requesting
consideration for annexation of additional territory for
industrial lots; their purpose here this evening is to
request direction of the Board on how to proceed.
Larry Johnson, Kimball Hill, further reviewed and explained
the situation for the Board.
Trustee Mathias stated that he does not believe there is
much that the Village can do until the matter is resolved
with the County.
7549
12/5/88
Temporary Chairman Marienthal asked if the plat would be
recorded at the County since it is in condemnation
proceedings; Mr. Raysa stated that he did not know the answer
and would have to research same.
After Discussion on several possibilities, it was moved by
Shifrin, seconded by Marienthal, to direct the Plan
Commission to proceed with the annexation and zoning process
to which it had been previously engaged. Upon roll call,
Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 4 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin
NAYES: 1 - Mathias
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Balling introduced the subject, details of which are VILLAGE HALL
contained in Mr. Boysen's memo to him of November 22, 1988. (Lower Level
Renovation)
John Green, architect, made a presentation to the Board,
referring to a Schematic Concept Plan, Elevations, and a
Furniture Layout Plan.
Moved by Shifrin, seconded by Reid, to accept the
preliminary design and authorize design development,
incorporating the option of the emergency generator. Upon
roll call, Trustees voted as follows on the motion:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover
Motion declared carried.
Temporary Chairman Marienthal stated that in consideration ORDINANCE #88-121
of those in the audience, this item would be taken out of (Highland Grove
sequence on the agenda. Drive)
Mr. Balling reviewed the proposed ordinance, details of
which are contained in Mr. Kuenkler's memo to him of
November 28, 1988.
Steve Cosmas, a resident on the corner of Fabish Drive and
Highland Grove Drive stated that he agrees with the
recommendations to a point, but stated several incidents
which would warrant a 4-way STOP sign at this corner; he
noted that these accidents have narrowly missed causing
severe injury to children waiting for the school bus on that
corner.
Mr. Kuenkler stated that it is the opinion of staff that
STOP signs are statistically not warranted on Highland Grove
Drive, and they would not recommend them.
7550
12/5/88
Trustee Shifrin stated that Highland Grove Drive has changed
since it was first completed, and he believes the 4-way STOP
is warranted.
Al Rosenston, a resident of the area, commented on the
traffic on Highland Grove Drive, and also stated that a
4-way STOP sign is needed at this intersection.
Mr. Cosmas stated that there is very light traffic at
certain parts of the day, but he stated that when there is
an accident, it is a major one because of the rate of speed
that the cars travel on Highland Grove Drive.
Moved by Mathias, seconded by Shifrin, to amend the
appropriate section of the ordinance to put 4-way STOP signs
at both Highland Grove/Fabish and Highland Grove/Fox Hill
(the intersection indicated on the exhibit) leaving the
Village Attorney to specify which intersection is referred
to, since Fox Hill does cross Highland Grove at two
locations, since unique conditions exist, such as the
presence of school bus stops in the subdivision and also the
traffic patterns in the area, which warrant 4-way STOP
signs. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Reid, Shields, Shifrin, Mathias
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Glover.

Mr. Balling introduced the proposal, Chief McCann made a 911 EMERGENCY
presentation to the Board regarding the proposal for 911 SERVICE SYSTEM
Emergency Service System, details of which are contained in
Mr. Balling's memo to the Board of December 1, 1988. Chief
McCann stated that the advantages to this system are: ease
of dialing; the ability to trace a call in 10 seconds as
opposed to 10 or 15 minutes; and because it is a universal
system.
Chief McCann then played an audio tape of a call received by
Central Dispatch from a woman having a heart attack who was
unable to give her address; it took 13 minutes to trace the
call, during which time the woman died; with 911, the call
could have been traced immediately, and the woman's life
might have been saved.
In answer to a question from Trustee Mathias, Chief McCann
stated that if this were to be placed on the ballot, an
aggressive informational campaign would be waged. With
regard to cost, it is proposed that there be a 75C per line
charge for the first year, 50Q per line charge for the
second year, and 25Q per line charge thereafter.
Trustee Shifrin asked if there were any disadvantages to
this program; Chief McCann stated that there is no reason
why the program should not be implemented, although there
will be a peak that will have people dialing 911 rather than
the non-emergency number, but that should decline.

Doug Edmonds, Central Dispatch Manager, reviewed some of the
details and cost estimates for the Board.
There was discussion from the Board with regard to charging
for this system before it is in place, and the reaction from
residents if it were done this way. Mr. Edmonds explained
why this would be beneficial, but not essential.
Mr. Edmonds stated that the desire is to have a common
ordinance in the four communities participating.
Mr. Balling stated that this item will be on the agenda for
the December 19, 1988 Regular Meeting.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Mathias, to adjourn the meeting. ADJOURNMENT
Upon voice vote, the motion was unanimously declared carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:48 P.M.
