Agreements have been received: one property owner wishes to pay off in one year; and the other will make payments for three years. Financial and guarantee documents will be drawn up. Work is being scheduled to begin this Spring, 1988, pursuant to the Board's decision. Mr. Bill Abolt, NWMC made a presentation of the Solid Waste SOLID WASTE Agency of Cook County.

Issues to be resolved include servicing costs, limitations and conditions for use of the balefill. Mr. Balling added that Buffalo Grove's initial cost for engineering services will be between $19,000 and $26,000. Major guarantees for interim financing would range between $155,000 and $207,000 for Buffalo Grove. Participation would guarantee solid waste 7313 2/22/88 capacity for the future. The Village Board should make the final decision before March 15, 1988 to avoid penalties and interest. In April, all participating communities will meet.

After voice vote, the Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 5 - Glover, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin, Marienthal NAYES: 0 - None ABSENT: 1 - Reid Motion declared carried. Lexington Homes was represented by Mr. Lawrence Freedman, ARCHDIOCESE PROP. Attorney; Mr. John Nelson, Jen Land Design, Architect; Ron Benach; and Richard Piggott. Reference: Plan Commission Referral, dated February 17, 1988. Mr. Nelson reviewed the proposed development of single family homes on 7,200 sq. ft. lots, which will meet the zoning requirements of R-5, or R-5A districts; and smaller lots to the North which will meet the R-6A zoning require- ments. Lots are 68 to 70 feet wide. After meeting with adjacent homeowners, the park and commercial areas were moved from the Southeast area to the Southwest corner of the property. Trustee Glover expressed concern about the size of the proposed houses compared to the size of the lots; and he suggested minimum size lots be the R-4 zoning district. The Levitt area was cited as an example of smaller lots which are crowded. 7320 2/22/88 Mr. Freedman said he can demonstrate how they can fit the product on this size lots. Mr. Benach added that they could put smaller houses on the lots, but the yield on the property must be considered. The configuration of the property was difficult to work with. They feel the lot size is adequate and the proposed houses will fit. The Board has specified single family houses, with less commercial, and they have met these conditions. Trustee Glover agreed this plan is more realistic than others presented. Two concerns: 1) Park District portion does not meet required acreage. 2) Would prefer to have the commercial areas adjoining. Mr. Freedman repeated the homeowners did not want the commercial and park areas between residential areas. It was acceptable to the West. Trustee Shields also preferred the commercial areas to be adjoining. Trustee Marienthal would not consider R-5A zoning because it was only meant for existing properties, and has never again been approved by the Board. It would not be easy for people to increase living space if the proposed houses were situated on lots zoned R-5, without encroaching on neighbor's property. He would prefer the lot sizes in the R-4 zones. Except for the economical standpoint, the 2 acres of commercial area could be eliminated altogether. There could be more park area to the North. Mr. Benach would have preferred to keep the entire Southern property all commercial, because it is more compatible with Dundee Road. He could develop the whole parcel 4 or 5 ways better, but they have presented a simple plan for the long narrow piece of land, and they believe it is in keeping with the surrounding areas. It is functional, but not beautiful. He cannot make the land work with smaller lots and will not submit any other plans. Trustee Kowalski did not object to the larger houses, because most people would prefer to have more living space, and less land. Her concern was that the park areas fall short of the requirements. She would not object to R-4 zoning, but she recognizes the economic needs. Mr. Michael O'Malley represented the homeowners and he recalled that during the four public hearings, Lexington has reduced the commercial area from 15 acres down to less than two acres. The economic argument is not valid. It is the consensus of most of the residents to prefer the commercial and park areas to the Southwest, adjacent to the multi-family buildings. Traffic would be diminished more 7321 2/22/88 than if commercial areas were together. The detention area, if located next to Chatham, would reduce the water problems that exist. The homeowners feel they can live with the revised plan. They are satisfied with the larger homes, and feel people will purchase them. Mr. Ed Jakacki said that from a safety standpoint, the revised plan is better. The road next to the park provides people with access and a place to park their cars, so that they will not trespass through yards. Also, it is better aesthetically for people to look out their front doors and see a park, as opposed to having the park to the rear of the houses. The Board must address the economic factor of the commercial area being reduced to 1.9 acres. No motion was made to refer the proposal to the Plan Commission. Trustee Marienthal declared a recess at 9:20 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:30 p.m. The Public Hearing was reopened for the Park District pre- sentation. Mr. Mike Rylko, Director of the Park District, introduced WILLOW STREAM Mr. Richard Capshire, Architect; Mrs. K. Larson, President OD- NANCE #8&-14 of the Park Board and Mr. Bob Neeley, Park Board Commissioner. Mr. Rylko requested approval of the annexation of the park, which is zoned R-4, Special Use; and preliminary plan approval, and final plat approval. He described the surrounding areas and the park site itself. Phase I improvements were outlined in the memo dated October 23, 1987. The site will include three to four soccer fields; one will also be used for football, 2 baseball fields, 2 picnic shelters, volleyball courts, 1 mile bike path/jogging path, washroom facilities, tot lot, and 18 hole Frisbee golf course. An irrigation system, similar to the golf course, is planned. Dasher boards for ice hocky have been proposed, and will be considered. Lighting will be provided for the parking lots, bike path and baseball fields. The time frame for completion of Phase I is June 15, 1988. Phase II is to be started in June , 1988, with completion by the Fall of 1988, when the landscaping can be installed. The goal is to be ready for use by the Spring of 1989. Phase II improvements include ball diamond fencing, pavement of parking lots, basketball and volleyball courts, older children's play area, more tables and grills for picnicking, main shelter with concession stand, storage room, additional security lighting, soccer and football goalposts, park benches, landscaping and disc golf. Some 7322 2/22/88 of the property is still owned by the Village. Trustees Glover said the plan was outstanding, and asked about the irrigation. Will there be erosion protection? Mr. Capshire responded that there will be a controlled will system that will automatically replenish the daily water supply. The well will be located South of the pump house, and water will be discharged from the wet well and transported below the surface back to the Farrington Ditch Pond. Mr. Kuenkler confirmed that water will be discharged back into the same pipe that acts as a suction for the irrigation system, and will pump the water back into the pond. Mr.Rylko responded to Trustee Kowalski's question about using soccer fields for baseball, that the fields could be regraded, if necessary. Trustee Marienthal closed the Public Hearing at 9:40 p.m. Moved by Shifrin, seconded by Glover, to approve Ordinance #88-14, approving Willow Stream Park Expansion Annexation Agreement. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: Mr. Raysa corrected the Annexation Agreement as follows: Page 3, paragraph 4, second line from the bottom: strike "in". Page 5, paragraph 8, regarding Building Permit Fees: "Weren't all building permit fees to be waived?" Mr. Balling clarified his intent that all current fees shall be waived, but that if any new fees arise, i.e. , flood control fee, they should be equally applied. The section refers to future fees. Page 9, paragraph 19 should read: . . .binding upon "all Properties" and the parties hereto. . . Page 10, Copy to: (add) John Sullivan, Park District Attorney Trustees Shifrin and Glover agreed to incorporate Mr. Raysa's comments into the motion. AYES: 5 - Glover, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin, Marienthal NAYES: 0 - None ABSENT: 1 - Reid Motion declared carried. Mr. Raysa had no comments. Moved by Shields, seconded by ORDINANCE # 88-15 Glover to pass Ordinance #88-15, Annexing Willow Stream Park Willow Stream Expansion to the Village of Buffalo Grove. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: 7323 2/22/88 AYES: 5 - Glover, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin, Marienthal NAYES: 0 - None ABSENT: 1 - Reid Motion declared carried. Mr. Raysa had no comments, except that the Village Clerk ORDINANCE #88-16 should fill in the blanks. Moved by Shifrin, seconded by Willow Stream Glover to Amend the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance by classifying the Willow Stream Park Expansion into the R-4 (One Family Dwelling) - Special Use District. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 5 - Glover, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin Marienthal NAYES: 0 - None ABSENT: 1 - Reid Motion declared carried. Mr. Marc Schwartz, of Batler, Capitel and Schwartz; Mr. Stan B.G. TOWN CENTER Lieberman and Mr. Dan Epstein, Developers; and Mr. Len Skiba, Braun/Skiba, Architect. Mr. Schwartz recalled that when the plan was submitted to the Board on February 1, 1988, some concerns were expressed. They submitted a revised plan and requested referal to the Plan Commission, per the memo dated February 17, 1988. Mr. Skiba described the revised concept plan, dated February 16, 1988. The Board's concerns included density, the roadways, building setbacks, and the curb cut from Buffalo Grove Road. The number of townhomes has been reduced from 80 to 72, and the number of multi-family units has been increased from 72 to 100, with 225 units for the elderly. The plan proposes the same total of 397 units. The configuration of the round pond has been changed to an elongated Vista-basin; and this will make the site easier to work with because of the set back requirements, etc. The four story multi buildings have been used as a buffer between the office and townhouse developments to complete the axis that is being established. The formal townhouses will be kept around the pond, and the outer areas will have more of a traditional step-back townhouse feeling. The circulation system remains basically the same, with a tree lined boulevard which will separate the townhouse units. Visitor parking has been established on a ratio of one car per 2 units. No drop-off driveway has been contemplated for the multi-family building. Interior parking, about 1 space per unit, will be provided; and including visitor parking, 7324 2/22/88 the ratio is about 1.7 per unit which meets the minimum ordinance requirement. Mr. Schwartz said setback variations are not anticipated at this time. Phase I will be the area West of the Vista-basin; Phase II to the East. The townhouse model should be started some time in the Fall of 1988. Elevations are not yet available. Trustee Marienthal expressed the feelings of the Board, that this plan is superior to the previous plans, and is more in keeping with the Town Center concept. Mr. Raysa asked about ownership and maintenance of the project. Mr. Leiberman responded that the multi-family and the townhomes will be private ownership. A homeowner's association will maintain the basin. They envision an umbrella association which will include the condos and townhomes, but this is subject to change. Some of the streets will be dedicated, some private, depending on the TIF funding. Moved by Glover, seconded by Shields, to refer Town Place, as submitted February 16, 1988, to the Plan Commission. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 5 - Glover, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin, Marienthal NAYES: 0 - None ABSENT: 1 - Reid Motion declared carried. Mr. Marc Schwartz, Batler, Capitel and Schwartz; Mr. Steve RANCH MART Morris, Developer; and Mr. Fred Kaplan, Architect with Auto Mart Kaplan Mangurten made the presentation. Mr. Morris reviewed the concept of an Auto Mart. The basic idea is to provide a complete development for the servicing of cars in one place. Mr. Kaplan said the design is in keeping with a retail development and they will cooperate with the developer of The Plaza (Ranch Mart) to coordinate the materials. The front of the existing building will be removed and the facade facing Dundee Road will be given a retail store front look. Access doors for servicing of the cars will be located on the West side of the building. A second building will be constructed to the West and this will open up an alleyway where cars will be taken inside. 7325 2/22/88 Mr. Schwartz listed the type of automotive businesses that will be operated: muffler shop, brake shop, detail shop (hand wash) , auto phones and radios, etc. Cars will be parked, and taken into the building for service. The existing signage is non-conforming. New signage will be in conformance with the code. The driveway will not be changed. No other curb cuts will be requested. This use of the site will reduce the hours from 9 to 9, or 9 to 6. The bowling alley and restaurant are open later. Elevations will not be prepared until the developer has been given some favorable action from the Board. It was noted that this concept is unique and will be an asset to the community. With the changing of Ranch Mart, the corner can be made to be a powerful entrance into Buffalo Grove. Most of the businesses will be nationally known franchised operations and will be high quality. These businesses lend advertising which is very important to this type of operation. They expect to open about 6-7 enterprises, with approximately 30 service doors. Mr. Schwartz spoke about the zoning. The area is now B-3, but the uses will all fit into the B-2 classifications, light repair, etc. The Board can limit the B-3 uses or, preferable, vary the zoning to B-2. Mr. Morris said he is opening his first auto mart in Tinley Park soon. Trustee Glover is not comfortable with the proposed uses, and feels that the restaurant and bowling alley, while not in good repair, are better for pedestrian uses. This type of business is hard to get started. Mr. Rosenthal, from The Plaza, commented that he would "love" to see some development of this property, including landscaping. His concerns include the amount of parking, the heavier type of services, and how people will leave the auto mart? Mr. Schwartz responded that cars will not be parked on the existing easement, and the refuse areas will be heavily screened. The leases will maintain very tight controls upon tenants. After further discussion, the Trustees were polled as follows: 1. B-3 Zoning: Glover, Kowalski, Shifrin, Marienthal B-2 Zoning: Shields Poll indicated approval 4 to 1. 2. Should the petitioner pursue pre-application procedures: YES - Glover, Shields, Shifrin, Marienthal Trustees would like to have more information. NO - Kowalski Poll indicated approval - 4 to 1. 7326 2/22/88 Mr. Schwartz stated that his client would not have any other type of business to propose. They can make a more refined presentation.
