Tim Beechick of Hamilton Partners made a presentation to the ZIERK FURNITURE
Board with regard to the subject property; details of this STORE
property are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling of (Preliminary
October 29, 1987. Plan)
Mr. Beechick stated that they would appreciate receiving
direction from the Board this evening as to whether this concept
is acceptable, so that a draft of the ordinance could be worked
out to the Village's satisfaction.
Mr. Beechick displayed a site plan, a rendering of the building,
and elevations of the building; he also introduced the members
of the Zierk family who would be running the furniture store.
Trustee Shifrin arrived at this time.
Mr. Beechick responded to President Clayton's question with regard
li
to the request to move the private street setback from 25' to 15' ,
citing the negative effect that moving the road would have on the
flexibility on the final design on the future multi-story office
building.
Mr. Balling confirmed to President Clayton that all other items
in the Plan Commission recommendation are addressed in the ordinance.
Mr. Beechick stated that there is verbage in the lease agreement
prohibiting the tenant from having any type of signage along the
exterior wall.
Mr. Beechick responded to Trustee Kowalski that the lease will
run for a 10-year period; he also stated that the owners would
look for a new location for the store, rather than expand the
proposed store.
In response to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Beechick showed
a blow-up of the back part of the store, explaining how loading and
unloading would be handled; he stated that the proposed store is
just for local delivery, inspecting the furniture before it is
delivered; their inventory is kept at separate warehouses. Mr.
Zierk also reviewed their delivery operation.
Trustee Glover stated that he does not understand why moving the
drive forward would so heavily impact so many proposed parking
spaces; Mr. Beechick responded. Trustee Glover stated that he
would like to see this situation investigated further.
Trustee Glover questioned the language in Section D on Page 5
in the 11-2-87 draft of the ordinance; Mr. Balling reviewed
same; Trustee Glover stated that he would like to see the language
clarified.
Mr. Zierk responded to Trustee Reid that the stipulation that
there be no outside sales, no window signs, and a daily closing
time of no later than 9:00 P.M. does not present any problem to
them; Mr. Zierk also stated that the only business that they
are in is the furniture business.
Trustee Shifrin asked, if the structure could be converted to
smaller uses if the lease were to be terminated in the future;
Mr. Beechick stated that they would prefer to see a large user.
In answer to a question from Trustee Marienthal, Mr. Zierk stated
that they would have no problem with putting in the agreement a
7247
11/2/87
stipulation that deliveries not begin before 8:00 A.M. Trustee
Marienthal asked that that language be added to the ordinance.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he shares Trustee Glover's
concern with the drive; Mr. Beechick responded.
Trustee Marienthal asked Mr. Beechick if he would be willing to
put a date certain for the construction of the bicycle path,
stating that it would be in concert with the 4-story building,
but if that construction did not occur by a certain date, the
bike path would be installed no later than said date; Mr.
Beechick stated that he would be willing to do same, but he
would like the date certain to be December 31, 1988.
In response to a question from Trustee Shields, Mr. Beechick
reviewed the traffic movement.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Glover, that the developer work with
staff to resolve the issues which were brought to his attention
by the Village Board tonight, and that a draft ordinance be
presented to the Board at the next Regular meeting, said items
being: moving the circulation drive north, hours of delivery
truck arrival; date certain for bike path installation; issue
of the variance; and clarification on the free-standing sign as
to location and size.
Upon voice vote, the motion was unanimously declared carried.
Mr. Boysen reviewed five conditions which must be met, and RESOLUTION
suggested that the proposed resolution be passed subject to #87-53
said conditions; he stated that these conditions should be (Chevy Chase
met by tomorrow. Utility)
Mr. Balling stated that the Village is, subject to said con-
ditions, ready to become operational immediately, with respect
to both water and sanitary sewer service.
Mr. Boysen stated that the removal of the tower should be done
within 60 days. Mr. Balling stated that the Wheeling Park District
wishes to address the disposition of the well, noting that staff
will be in a position to make a recommendation to the Board on
this at the next Regular meeting. The request of the Wheeling
Park District is outlined in their letter to Mr. Balling of
November 2, 1987.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Glover, to pass Resolution #87-53,
accepting an Assurity Agreement with the Chevy Chase Utility
Company, subject to the five conditions stated by Mr. Boysen,
i.e. the one illegal connection to the sanitary sewer being
resolved; the one customer who has not signed to be removed;
the final receipt of the bond; and the two $5,000 checks.
In response to a question from Trustee Reid, Mr. Boysen reviewed
the steps which have been taken to inform the one customer who
has declined to accept the service. Trustee Reid stated that
he would like to see personal contact made with the person who
owns the property.

President Clayton declared a recess from 8:56 P.M. until RECESS
9:05 P.M.
Jerry Shain, representing the developer, introduced himself ARCHDIOCESE
to the Board. Rick Burton, Land Consultants, Inc. , gave a PROPERTY
brief background of himself, and reviewed the proposed plan
for the Board, details of which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's
memo to Mr. Balling of October 29, 1987.
In response to a question from Mr. Shain, Mr. Burton stated that
he believes this proposed plan is the proper use of the property
and would not substantially impact the neighbors. Mr. Burton
then responded to Mr. Shain that he believes the proposed
commercial use is a reasonable and proper use of this property.
Mr. Burton then noted the studies he had done which lead him to
believe that this use would be reasonable and proper.
Mr. Burton confirmed to Mr. Shain that the proposed uses will
generate approximately $500,000 per year in sales tax, and
will generate additional real estate taxes and jobs for the
Village.
Mr. Shain stated that they believe the frontage along Dundee Road
should be developed commercially; they believe that their proposal
will bring the most advantageous commercial development that the
Village could have in this area; they believe that they can offer
a lot more in the way of landscaping and buffering. Mr. Shain
stated that the developers have asked him to determine what the
possibilities of developing here are; they have looked at
potential possibilities, even as far as possible disconnection
from the Village and developing in the County or another Village;
7249
11/2/87
they would rather be in Buffalo Grove; they think this is a
better proposal; they believe they have come up with compromises.
Mr. Sheldon Johnson of Metro Transportation Group reviewed their
traffic findings for the proposed development, details of which
are contained in his letter to Mr. Pfeil of October 27, 1987.
Trustee Marienthal asked if the developer has studied what the
Buffalo Grove Master Plan provides for this property; Mr. Shain
responded that the Master Plan does show single-family and a
park; however, the developer does not believe that this site
can work on the basis of all single-family. Mr. Shain stated
that it is the developer's opinion, both from a commercial
standpoint and the expert opinion's standpoint, that it does
not work, since they do not believe that Dundee Road is a
residential street. When the developer originally looked at
this parcel, the intention was to come in with commercial and
multi-family, and the single-family was offered as a compromise
so that they could get the commercial development in the front
portion of the property.
Trustee Marienthal stated that the Master Plan shows a park in
the northern quadrant of the parcel, rather than the southern
quadrant of the parcel. This property is surrounded on three
sides by single-family, and Trustee Marienthal does not believe
that commercial should be inserted into a single-family neighbor-
hood. Mr. Shain stated that they believe that the proposed plan
including the single-family is a good compromise; if the Village
decides they want all single-family, it will present a problem;
the developer and the experts do not see this parcel as being
developed as all single-family; if it could be developed as all
single-family, they would do it. Mr. Shain stated that this
commercial development has no tie-ins to the residential behind it.
Rick Piggott of Lexington Development further expanded on Mr.
Shain's discussion with regard to the location of the park, citing
conversations with the Park District; he stated that this proposed
plan doubles the amount of park space required.
In response to a question from Trustee Glover, it was stated that
the length of the west property line is approximately 2600 feet,
all of which is abutted by residential; the north property line is
approximately the same length which is also abutted by residential;
the east property line is also the approximate same length,
approximately 200' of which is commercial, and the rest is again
abutted by residential.
Trustee Reid asked Mr. Johnson if any traffic comparisons were
made between a residential use and an auto dealership; Mr. Johnson
stated that that comparison was not made.
Trustee Reid asked if the wetland area of the park land has been
discussed with the Park District; Mr. Piggott stated that it would
be their intent to eliminate the wetlands.
7250
11/2/87
Trustee Reid asked Mr. Burton if the plan showing the trees is
intended to be a landscape plan; Mr. Burton responded that it
is, although he did not have a specific density of those trees,
but that it would comply with Village standards. Mr. Shain
stated that it is not intended that the trees will keep the
dealerships from being visable from the street.
Trustee Reid asked about the lighting to the rear of the property;
Mr. Burton stated that they have not yet gotten into any type of
a lighting plan, although he stated that there are types of lights
which will prevent light spillage into the neighborhood.
Trustee Reid asked about a public address system on the site; Mr.
Shain responded that they have talked to Mr. Perillo about same,
and he is sensitive to this issue.
In response to a question from Trustee Reid, Mr. Burton stated that
they have examples of dealerships which are built adjacent to
residential areas where the valuations of the homes has not declined.
Trustee Shields stated that, if this were to be considered at all,
he believes the other plan was considerably more attractive.
In response to a question from Trustee Marienthal, Mr. Piggott
explained the change in the road network.
Mr. Shain stated that they can show studies where, if the commercial
is done properly, there is no negative impact on the value of surrounding
homes.
Michael O'Malley, spokesman for the homeowners surrounding the property,
presented another petition containing approximately 140 names opposing
the auto dealerships. Mr. O'Malley then read a statement to the Board
in strong opposition to the proposed plan; he presented pictures of
the auto dealerships presently located on Dundee Road, and the effects
of the lighting, debris, and visibility on Dundee Road. Mr. O'Malley
stated that the case law in Illinois seems to support the position of
the citizens in the neighborhood, which is that anything short of
residential, which is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, is
unacceptable.
Mr. Shain responded to Mr. O'Malley's comments, particularly with
regard to case law in zoning matters; he stated that anyone has the
choice to believe that this property may developed as large-lot,
single-family, but whether or not that belief is reasonable may have
to be considered in the courts.
Mr. O'Malley commented on the wetland areas, and stated that auto
dealerships are not compatible with the surrounding areas.
Keith MacIsaac, 754 Golfview Terrace, commented on the site plan,
i.e. the fact that the park area is unsuitable for construction,
and the increased cost to the Village for the care of all the cul-
de-sacs which are planned.
President Clayton stated that Mr. MacIsaac's points are well taken,
but the Plan Commission thoroughly studies plans which are presented
to them, and takes into consideration all points made by Mr. MacIsaac.
Mr. Piggott also responded to Mr. MacIsaac on the process that the
developer must go through before a plan can proceed.
7251
11/2/87
Ed Jakacki, 776 Patton Drive, talked about the traffic which
will be generated by the proposed park and the fact that there
is not enough parking area for same; he also commented on the
possible flooding which will be caused by this development; he
commented on the traffic study.
Mr. Piggot responded that the traffic study which was made was
paid for by the developer, and noted that, if this development
were to proceed, another study would be made by a consultant
chosen by the Village, but paid for by the developer.
Mr. Balling also commented on the traffic study.
In response to a question from Mr. Jakacki, Trustee Shifrin stated
that he is abstaining from discussion or voting on this development
because he has done some work in the past as an attorney for
Lexington Development.
Mr. Balling responded to Steve Attenburg as to why this proposal is
again before the Board, since it was rejected previously.
Mr. Attenburg stated that these citizens elected the Board, and
they are directing opinions to the Board that they do not want
car dealerships.
Stan Rose, 674 Patton Drive, commented to the Board on the way the
light shines into his home from the present Nissan dealership,
which is 1/2 mile from his home, and he does not believe that the
proposed dealerships could have the light adequately screened from
the adjoining homes.
Sid Carling, 630 McArthur Drive, stated he just bought his home
in July, and was led to believe that the subject parcel would be
all residential; he stated that he is an electrical engineer, and
there is no way that the lighting can be designed so as not to shine
on adjacent homes; he also commented that there will have to be a
public address system, which will also be able to be heard by
surrounding homes.
Robert Sherman, 770 Stonebridge, spoke in support of the proposed
plan, since he does not believe that residential belongs along
Dundee Road; he does not believe that the current dealerships on
Dundee Road present a negative impact on the surrounding residential
areas; he encourages the Board to give zoning other than residential
to the frontage on Dundee Road.
Donna Ammateo, Elmwood Drive, stated that, when she moved into her
home, she was told by the Village that the parcel in question was
zoned for 1-acre single-family homes; she stated that there are very
expensive homes being built directly on Palatine Road; she stated that the
Board has a responsibility to the citizens.
President Clayton pointed out that, although this property is zoned
for 1-acre single-family, it is not realistic to believe that lots
of that size will be built on the parcel.
Mark Elias, 664 White Pine, commented on the green space, the traffic,
and the master Plan. President Clayton responded that the Master Plan
is a guideline for the Village; the Village Board must give consideration
to a plan which is presented by a property owner.
7252
11/2/87
Stan Rose commented on a possibility of extending the line of commercial
properties along Dundee Road; he noted the very expensive homes built
on Lake-Cook Road in Deerfield; he commented on the types of automobiles
sold by the Motorworks in Barrington as opposed to the types of auto-
mobiles proposed by the developer.
Mr. MacIsaac commented on the financial aspects of this proposal.
Mr. Shain responded to Mr. MacIsaac.
Johanna Kortes, 6 Chenault Court, commented on the traffic which
would be generated by the car dealerships in the surrounding
community because of the people test-driving the automobiles.
A gentleman from 654 Patton Drive commented on the amount of
flooding he experiences now when there is a heavy rain, and that
he was gold by gentlemen from the Park District and the water
department, that a study was made and it would cost the Village
too much money to put drain tiles in, and that, as soon as this
property was developed, everything would be taken care of; he
also commented on the traffic hazard to pedestrians.
President Clayton again stated that, if this proposal should go
to the Plan Commission, all these detailed studies being talked
about will be done.
Earl Sabes, 634 Patton, stated that the proposed auto dealerships
do not have the buffers that other dealerships being referred to
do have.
Diane MacIsaac asked why the developers have the impression that
they can come back with car dealerships when the residents
specifically stated that they do not want car dealerships. Mr.
Shain stated that no one on the Board has given any encourage-
ment; the developer came to his law firm and asked what alternatives
there are to develop the site; they believe that a lot of the problems
cited by the residents can be solved.
Mr. O'Malley stated that they do not want auto dealerships on this
site no matter what is done to try and resolve the problems; the
residents do not want to listen to any arguments to try and resolve
the problems; he believes that the entire plot can be made to look
good residentially; they do not believe that there is anything that
can be done to make an auto dealership compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood on the three sides.
Mr. Shain stated that they are asking for the opportunity to make
this proposal work.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of
encouraging the developer to pursue the plan by filing an
application for Plan Commission referral; "No" indicates opposition:
YES: 0 - None
NO: 5 - Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski
ABSTAIN: 1 - Shifrin
7253
11/2/87
Mr. Balling explained the situation on the Highland School DISTRICT 102
site. Mr. McGee, Superintendent of School District 102, HIGHLAND SCHOOL
commented on the status of this site with the Hoffman Group. SITE
Back-up information on this subject is contained in Mr. Raysa's
letter to Mr. Balling of October 29, 1987, as well as several
other letters on file in the Clerk's office.
Trustee Shifrin stated that he would like to note that all
parties involved in this situation should be commended for
taking a difficult situation and bringing it to an amicable
solution. Trustee Shifrin also stated that the current Ordinance
is part of the problem which caused this situation, where there
are requirements of developers when it comes to donations where
it is not specific enough to accommodate a time gap of 10 years
between donation and actual use, and he believes this should be
investigated and corrected if necessary.
Trustee Glover also commends all parties for coming to an agreement;
he is concerned with grading the site.
Trustee Marienthal asked staff to use whatever bargaining it can to
help the school district assure that this excavation is completed
before December 31, 1987.
Allen Kracower made a presentation to the Board on the Greenhouse GREENHOUSE
property, details of which are contained in Mr. Szymborski's memo PROPERTY
to Mr. Balling of October 29, 1987.
Mr. Kracower stated that they would like to know if there is any
interest in annexing the property, and, if so, what land use would
be proposed.
In answer to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Kracower stated
that they would propose a townhome density of approximately 6 units
per acre.
Trustee Glover stated that he would tend to support light industrial
for this area.
Trustee Reid asked what this residential development would do to the
current ratio balance of single-family and multi-family; Mr. Balling
responded that it would be somewhat less favorable.
Trustee Marienthal shares the points raised by Trustee Glover, and
he also believes that light industrial is appropriate for this parcel.
Trustee Kowalski asked if the light industrial would be similar to
the Corporate Grove; Mr. Kracower responded affirmatively.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of
hoping to annex this property; "No" indicates opposition:
YES: 6 - Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin
NO: 0 - None
President Clayton asked each Trustee to indicate the type of land
use which they would favor:
Light Industrial - Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski
Residential - Shifrin

Tim Beechick, Hamilton Partners, made a presentation to the RIVERWALK
Board with regard to the Riverwalk Phase II property, details PHASE II
of which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling of
October 28, 1987.
In response to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Beechick
stated that they do control the entire parcel.
Trustee Reid stated that this is an interesting concept, however,
going north, it doesn't look like a very workable plan with such
a long cul-de-sac. Mr. Beechick stated that there needs to be
some refinement; they want more control on Milwaukee Avenue.
Trustee Reid asked if there will be a light at Columbus Parkway;
Mr. Beechick responded that he believes traffic will ultimately
warrant a light.
Trustee Kowalski asked when the towers will be operational; Mr.
Beechick stated that he anticipates that will be in the 3rd
quarter of 1989; he stated that Phase II operations will depend
on the supply and demand.
Mr. Balling reported to Trustee Kowalski on the proposed road
improvements for this area, stating that he believes it will be
at least 5 years.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of
the developer pursuing this annexation; "No" indicates opposition:
YES: 6 - Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin
NO: 0 - None
