PUBLIC HEARING - FY 1988 ANNUAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR BUFFALO GROVE
GOLF CLUB AND ARBORETUM GOLF COURSE FUNDS
President Clayton read the Notice of Public Hearing published in the Buffalo
Grove Herald on December 11, 1987.
President Clayton called the Public Hearing to order at 7:56 P.M.
Mr. Brimm then made a presentation to the Board on the FY1988
Appropriation Ordinance for the Buffalo Grove Golf Club and Arboretum Golf
Course Funds.
President Clayton asked for questions or comments from the audience or
the Board; there were none.
President Clayton closed the Public Hearing at 8:00 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING - AMLI PROPERTY (50 ACRES)
President Clayton called the Public Hearing to order at 8:02 P.M. President
Clayton then read from the Notice of Public Hearing published in the Buffalo
Grove Herald on December 5, 1987.
Mr. Raysa made the following comments for informational purposes.
The Village Board received a voluntary Section 7-1-8 petition to annex
the subject property. The Village Board considered this petition, along
with a petition for Concept and Preliminary Plan review and Development
Plan on 9/8/87, at which time a presentation was made to the Village Board
and input was given to the Village Board. Prior to that presentation, there
were discussions between the developer and staff in regard to the Development
Plan and possible annexation of the property to the Village. The Village
Board then referred the subject property to the Plan Commission, and the
Plan Commission held Workshop #1 on 10-7-87. This was the first time the
Plan Commission has the formal "right" to look at this plan.
Mr. Raysa stated that these comments are necessary to show that the Village
has been working diligently as far as annexing this property, and he wants
all parties and the public to know what has been going on as far as the normal
processes of the Village of Buffalo Grove.
7276
12/21/87
The matter was then scheduled for Plan Commission Workshop #2; it
was on the agenda, and Mr. Raysa was present at that Plan Commission
Workshop meeting. At 11:30 P.M. , the Plan Commission had not finished
the first item on the agenda, and there were four more items on the agenda
that night and there was not time to proceed with Workshop #2 on 11/18/87,
so the matter was rescheduled. There has been some correspondence
between the Village and certain other parties, specifically Mr. Pfeil,
the Village Planner, who wrote a letter to Long Grove on 11/5/87, with
the Development Plan for the subject parcel.
Also, the Village received input from Long Grove in an 11/12/87 letter
which was mis-labeled "The Woodlands R-8/Buffalo Grove". The reason for
that is that the plan for the property to the east of the subject property
is "The Woodlands R-8/Buffalo Grove".
The Village then passed along certain input that Mr. Balling and Mr. Raysa
received from Long Grove, not only in that letter, but in a subsequent meeting,
to the Buffalo Grove Park District.
Corrdination on a development such as this has to be made with the Buffalo
Grove Park District, and specifically, in-depth coordination with the Park
District because of the nature of the 20 acres and the development of those
20 acres being developed as park property.
The reconvened Workshop #2 at the Plan Commission was held on 12/16/87.
There is refinement of the Development Plan each time it comes before
the Plan Commission, and there is also input from the Plan Commission to the
developer. The subject property will be going to Public Hearing at the
Plan Commission in the near future.
Also, during this time frame, the Village desired to annex and zone the
property. The Village advertised, in compliance with Statutes, in several
ways. When a municipalityannexesland, notice has to go to all districts
that are included in that subject property; notice must be sent out at least
20 days in advance. In addition, when there is a possible Annexation Agreement,
another newspaper notice has to be made not less than 15 days prior; said
notice was read by President Clayton tonight, having been published 12/5/87.
The normal procedure for Buffalo Grove as far as staff coordination is
belief that, during a certain time frame, certain things can be done,
which is why the meeting was advertised for tonight, 12/21/87. The
Village has been working very hard with the developer on the subject
property on the proposed Annexation Agreement.
Said Annexation Agreement is not in final form tonight, and therefore,
if the Board would like to continue the Public Hearing, Mr. Raysa believes
that would be the best way to proceed in this matter. The Village does not
like to continue Public Hearings once the notice is published.
As the Board is aware, there is certain case law which states that, if a
municipality takes no action on a proposed annexation, that municipality
loses jurisdiction over the subject property. By Mr. Raysa's comments
regarding the Village's procedure, it has been proven that the Village is
diligently proceeding with development of the subject property.
The Village has done many annexations, and has standard procedures as
far as what a developer/annexer has to do, and in Mr. Raysa's estimation,
the Village has followed those procedures, although it takes more than one
meeting, and sometimes several months.
7277
12/21/87
There is a draft Annexation Agreement, but it has not been re-drafted;
therefore, Mr. Raysa suggested that this meeting be continued and a
presentation be made down the road. As long as people are present this
evening and notices have been published and sent out, Mr. Raysa suggested
that questions from the floor be entertained so that valuable input may
be gained.
President Clayton then read the Purpose of Public Hearing.
President Clayton then asked if there was anyone present who wished to
make comment or ask questions regarding the Amli 50 acres; there were
no such requests. There were no questions from the Village Board.
Mr. Raysa pointed out that the "Amli 50" and the "Amli 47" are the same
parcel; the difference is the right of roadway.
President Clayton continued the Public Hearing to 1/18/88 at 8:14 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING - GLAUNER PROPERTY
President Clayton opened the Public Hearing at 8:14 P.M. , at which time
she read from the Notice of Public Hearing published in the Buffalo Grove
Herald on December 2, 1987.
President Clayton stated that the Purpose of Public Hearing is the same
as in the previous Public Hearing.
Mr. Raysa made the following comments for informational purposes.
The Village Board received a voluntary Section 7-1-8 petition to annex
the subject property. The Village Board considered this petition, along
with a petition for Concept and Preliminary Plan review and Development
Plan on 6/15/87, at which time a presentation was made to the Village
Board and input was given to the Village Board. Prior to that presentation,
there were discussions between the developer and staff in regard to the Develop-
ment Plan and possible annexation of the property to the Village. The
Village Board then referred the subject property to the Plan Commission, and
the Plan Commission held Workshop #1 on 7/1/87. This was the first time the
Plan Commission has the formal "right" to look at this plan.
Workshops are subject to the Illinois Open Meetings Act and are open
meetings, as well as published meetings.
Mr. Raysa stated that these comments are necessary to show that the Village
has been working diligently as far as annexing this property, and he wants
all parties and the public to know what has been going on as far as the normal
processes of the Village of Buffalo Grove.
Workshop #2 was scheduled for 7/22/87, at which time staff suggested to the
developer that, since there were wetlands on the subject property, coordination
be made with the Army Corps of Engineers, and since there was to be possible
dedication of open space on the subject development, coordination be made with
the Buffalo Grove Park District, which was begun.
There was a scheduled Workshop in September of 1987, which was postponed until
October, because certain documents were not ready in September.
At the same time, there was a presentation of the Amli 50 parcel, and
because of the nearness of the subject parcel, and the planning necessary
on both parcels in conjunction with each other, it was staff and Plan Commission
recommendation that both parcels be planned in coordination with each other.
7278
12/21/87
In addition, on the Glauner parcel, the Village of Buffalo Grove employed
independent traffic engineers to do an analysis of the traffic pattern of
the proposed development.
Workshop #3 was scheduled for 10/7/87.
The Glauner property is sometimes called the Seidl Nursery Property.
There has been some correspondence between the Village and certain other
parties, specifically Mr. Pfeil, the Village Planner, who wrote a letter to
Long Grove on 11/5/87, with the Development Plan for the subject parcel.
Also, the Village received input from Long Grove in a 11/12/87 letter
which was mis-labeled "The Woodlands R-8/Buffalo Grove". The reason
for that is that the plan for the property to the east of the subject
property is "The Woodlands R-8/Buffalo Grove".
The Village then passed along certain input that Mr. Balling and Mr. Raysa
received from Long Grove, not only in that letter, but in a subsequent meeting,
to the Buffalo Grove Park District.
Coordination on a development such as this has to be made with the Buffalo Grove
Park District, and specifically, in-depth coordination with the Park District
because of the nature of the 20 acres and the development of those 20 acres
being developed as park property. There is refinement of the Development
Plan each time it comes before the Plan Commission, and there is also input
from the Plan Commission to the developer. The subject property will be going
to Public Hearing at the Plan Commission in the near future. Also, during this
time frame, the Village desired to annex and zone the property. The Village
advertised, in compliance with Statutes, in several ways. When a municipality
annexes land, notice has to go to all districts that are included in that
subject property; notice must be sent out at least 20 days in advance. In
addition, when there is a possible Annexation Agreement, another newspaper
notice has to be made not less than 15 days prior; said notice was read by
President Clayton tonight.
The normal procedure for Buffalo Grove as far as staff coordination is

Mr. Balling reviewed the current status of the Golf Course Lease EAT'S INC.
renewal; Mr. Kuhn of Eats, Inc. came to the Village Hall at 4:00 LEASE
this afternoon and indicated that he was refusing to sign the
agreement, and that he felt that he could not sign and would not
appear before the Board this evening because he felt that the
interim lease and the permanent lease must be acted upon simultaneously;
there is no necessity on the part of the Village to do that because the
one lease would not start until June of 1989. Mr. Kuhn expressed
reservation that, if the permanent service was to be bid, he would
not sign the interim lease, but he might consider a month-to-month
operation on the lease.
After discussion by parties involved, it was noted that, without the
lease in place, Eat's Inc. business license would expire as of
December 31, 1987; it would appear that the liquor license would be
suspended at the close of business on December 31, 1987 because
there would be no valid lease in place. Staff will be bringing
7283
12/21/87
options to the Board to be considered concerning this lease.
Details of this situation are contained in Mr. Brimm's memo to
Mr. Balling of December 16, 1987.
Mr. Brimm commented on his conversation with Mr. Kuhn this
afternoon, as well as the proceedings on this subject to date.
Mr. Kuhn is interested in a permanent lease on a no-bid basis.
After further discussion, it was moved by Glover and seconded by
Reid to authorize staff to execute the lease as drafted with Mr.
Kuhn upon his acceptance, with ratification of the proposed
ordinance at the January 4, 1988 meeting, authorizing staff and
the Village Attorney to take appropriate action if the lease is
not accepted by the current lessee.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:

Lawrence Freedman, attorney for Lexington Development Company, ARCHDIOCESE
the contract purchaser of the property which is commonly known as PROPERTY
the Archdiocese Property, briefly reviewed the history of the (Lexington)
subject property.
Mr. Jon Nelson, JEN Land Design, made a presentation to the Board,
details of which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling
of December 17, 1987; he stated that two alternatives have been
prepared, being called Concept A and Concept B.
Trustee Glover stated concern for the unusual communication problem
regarding this problem; it is important to take into consideration
the compatibility of existing land uses; he is disappointed that
the developer keeps coming back with plans which do not match what
is designated in the Comprehensive Plan or the existing residential
zoning on this parcel; he is disappointed to see the amount of
commercial showing with the R-5; he is disturbed with the number of
curb cuts.
Trustee Reid stated that he concurs with Trustee Glover, and is very
disappointed in the plan as it is being presented; both plans are
unsatisfactory.
Trustee Marienthal concurs with the previous statements; he has a
problem with a motel on this particular parcel; he believes it
would be out of character with the neighborhood; he believes a
restaurant is inappropriate for this area; he thinks that Plan B
is completely inappropriate for this particular area; he would
prefer the R-5 versus Plan B, with the deletion of the hotel.
Trustee Shields is disappointed in the plans presented; if there
were to be commercial, he would rather have it all the way across
the front; he believes there is more work to be done.
Steve Attenberg, Patton Drive, stated that the residents do not
want commercial on this property.
Mr. Freedman stated that he recalls that the Board would accept
commercial other than car dealerships; the developer is in no way
trying to "wear the Board down"; they believed that some type of
commercial would be acceptable.
Michael O'Malley, spokesman for the surrounding homeowners, stated
that he understood the Board to state that they were not interested
in any type of commercial use on the property; he does not believe
that a motel or restaurant belongs on this property.
President Clayton declared a recess from 9:20 P.M. until 9:33 P.M. RECESS
Greg Zale of the Zale Group introduced Bruce Johnson of Johnson STEEPLEVIEW
Associates, and Peter Manhart of Manhart Associates. CONDOMINIUMS
Mr. Johnson then made a presentation to the Board, details of (Zale)
which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Balling of
December 18, 1987; he displayed a floor plan, a site plan, and eleva-
tions of the proposed product.
7285
12/21/87
Trustee Glover asked about guest parking; Mr. Johnson answered
that they believe they will need more guest parking than is shown.
Trustee Glover is also concerned with the realignment of the entrance
closer to Lake-Cook Road; Mr. Johnson explained the way to have the
building configuration in order to do same. Trustee Glover stated
that he would like to have the Plan Commission look closely at the
