PUBLIC HEARING - WESTCHESTER ESTATES
President Clayton reopened this continued Public Hearing at 7:50 P.M.
President Clayton swore in John Green of Systems Design Group, David
Hahn and Joe Euclide of McBride Engineering, and Jerome Meister,
attorney, to give testimony.
Mr. Jerome Meister, representing the petitioner, noted that they were
able to purchase additional property, and they now have a 45-acre site
with 101 proposed single-family residences.
Mr. Meister then described the property, referring to Exhibit 2,
which is an aerial photograph of the subject site and the surrounding
sites. The developer is asking the Board to approve annexation of the
property; to approve the R-3 and R-4 zoning classifications for the
subject site; to approve the preliminary plat of subdivision, including
35' rear yards in lieu of 40' on lots 16A, 20A, and 24A; to approve a
25' rather than 30' corner building line on lot 24; to take the
detention area as a conveyance to be held by the Village of Buffalo
Grove and maintained by the Village of Buffalo Grove; and to allow a
disannexation provision to be inserted into the Annexation Agreement.
Mr. Meister stated that School Districts 102 and 125 which service
this property have asked for cash rather than land donation, and
the developer has agreed to comply with the Title 19 ordinance.
7024
12/15/86
Mr. Meister stated that they have provided a park area on their
site for which the Park District is willing to accept conveyance.
Mr. John Greene then went through the Plan Review, referring to
Exhibit 3, the architectural site plan layout. Mr. David Hahn then
reviewed Exhibit 7 which outlines the basic utility systems, and
Exhibit 6 showing wet storage and detention.
Mr. Meister stated that they will do everything possible to save
trees that are worth saving; he stated that no house will be less
than 2,000 square feet; the selling price will range from $170,000
to $225,000.
Mr. Meister stated that they believe it is a mistake to have
homeowners associations take care of the detention, since they
believe that is no different than other utilities.
Mr. Meister stated that they are in agreement with everything in
the Annexation Agreement, including the last changes relating to
the amount necessary to improve Buffalo Grove Road, but they are
requesting a disannexation provision which would give them until
February 1987 for an owner to petition to have the property dis-
annexed if it had been so annexed, the reason being because they are
dealing with five property owners.
President Clayton asked if there were any questions or co=tents from
any other governmental bodies or agencies; there were none.
In answer to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Green stated that
they do not believe the pine trees at the northeast corner will be in
any jeopardy when the storm sewer is constructed.
Mr. Hahn, Mr. Green and Mr. Truesdell then answered questions from
Trustee O'Reilly.
President Clayton asked if there were any other questions or comments
from the Board or the audience; there were none.
With regard to the detention area, Trustee O'Reilly stated that she
believes that a public body needs to own the property, and she believes
that it should become a policy of the Village to own and maintain
detention areas.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of the
Village accepting the detention area in the Westchester Estates
development; "No" indicates opposition:
YES: O'Reilly, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski
NO: None
ABSENT: Marienthal
Mr. Balling will put together information for Board consideration
with regard to making the above Village policy.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of including
in the Annexation Agreement a disconnection provision up to February 10,
1987; "No" indicates opposition:
YES: O'Reilly, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski
NO: None
ABSENT: Marienthal
7025
12/15/86
Mr. Raysa then pointed out some minor changes in the Annexation
Agreement.
President Clayton continued the Public Hearing to January 5, 1987,
at 8:29 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING - COVINGTON CORPORATE CENTER
President Clayton reopened the continued Public Hearing on Covington
Corporate Center at 8:30 P.M.
Mr. Peter Jarvis reviewed Exhibits C-1, C-2, and C-3, the three
alternatives for road alignment; he stated that C-1 is the alternate
recommended by the Plan Commission, and the developer would like either
alternate C-1 or C-3; the developer has very strong reservations about
C-2, which Mr. Jarvis pointed out.
Mr. Freedman stated that alternate C-2 would so severely impact their
project that they would be unable to do anything for the train station
site.
Mr. Freedman complimented Mr. Balling on working with them to come up with
a solution for the train station site; he stated that, if they get an
acceptable road alignment on the east end, they will have the economic
leeway to make the following offer to the Village for the train station
site: they would hold the $2.25 per square foot price for a period of
2 years and would not entertain any offer to sell that property for
2 years, unless the Village waived their rights; they would then hold
the price for 2 more years at $3.50 per square foot, conditioned on the
fact that, if they had a potential purchaser, the Village would have
90 days to decide whether or not to purchase; after the first 4 years,
the Village would have a 30 day right of first refusal at a price which
would presumably be market value. Mr. Freedman stated that, even if
the train station were not a factor, they would have very serious
reservations about the economic viability of the entrance to the property
if they go with the C-2 alternate.
Mr. Balling stated that the Board had requested that the Fire Department
conduct one more evaluation on the long cul-de-sac on the west side of
the property; he pointed out that the potential exists for another
emergency access south of lot 19. Mr. Jarvis stated that, from a planning
standpoint, he has no problem with it; however, he would like to try and
arrive at that final decision at such time as they come in for final plat
for Phase 2, primarily in case a large user were to want the lots at the
end of the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Balling stated that the biggest problem the Fire Department sees
with the long cul-de-sac is in the event of a multi-response alarm
where equipment would block the road.
Mr. Jarvis asked that the Board keep this emergency access in mind when
reviewing the property immediately to the west.
President Clayton asked if there were any agencies or groups in the
audience wishing to give testimony at the Public Hearing; there were none.
At the request of Trustee O'Reilly, Mr. Jarvis then separated drawings
C-1, C-2, and C-3 and explained each alternate again, as well as
commenting on the impact each alternate would have on both their property
and the Corporate Grove.

12/15/86
Mr. Lamphere of the Corporate Grove stated that this issue was debated
two years ago when they came before the Board; their Annexation Agree-
ment provides a certain layout, and they are very concerned about any
change in that layout. Mr. Lamphere stated that they have no problem
with C-2.
Mr. Balling then explained a C-4 alternate, which is basically a
variation of C-2.
Mr. Jarvis explained an alteration which he made on the C-1 drawing.
�./ Trustee Glover commented on the C-2 alternate; he has no concerns with
the right-hand movement from Busch to Deerfield Road, which would be a
heavy AM peak traffic flow; the PM peak would be a left-turn movement
at three different intersections; he believes the bottleneck will still
be on Deerfield road east of Milwaukee, and he does not believe that
the main problems will be in this development; he does not think a
hardship should be placed on Corporate Grove, since the traffic problems
must be solved on a regional basis.
Trustee Reid concurred with Trustee Glover; he believes that the Village
agreed upon a solution with the Corporate Grove, and he does not believe
that the Village should renege on that agreement.
Trustee O'Reilly stated that she believes the Village made a commitment
to Corporate Grove, and it appears that C-2 is the only alternate which
does not have a negative impact on either development.
Trustee Shields agrees with the previous comments, and believes the C-2
alternate should be used.
Trustee Kowalski also is in favor of the C-2 alternate.
Mr. Balling referred to Pages 11 and 12 of the Annexation Agreement,
Paragraph G, with regard to the train station. Trustee Reid and Mr.
Sabes agreed that the above takes care of the concerns regarding the
train station.
Trustee O'Reilly stated that she hopes that, if this gets approved, it
is immediately conveyed to Metra that there is a definite time table
involved with this train station site.
Mr. Freedman stated that he does not have a title search; he suggests
that the Agreement provide that, if the developer is found to own the
small strips on the perimeter, they be required to annex those strips
into the Village and develop them in accordance with this plan; he will
still pursue the question of ownership.
Mr. Balling stated that on Page 11, Paragraph F, the reference to
Exhibit C be changed to Exhibit C-2. Mr. Balling stated that there are
yet-to-be-defined intersection improvements which will be conuuitted by
the platting of the first phase.
Mr. Raysa stated that he will get a rough draft, and the passage of
this development will be subject to final draft approval.
President Clayton asked if there were any questions or co=lents from the
public; there were none. President Clayton continued the Public Hearing
to later on in this meeting at 9:30 P.M.
President Clayton declared a recess from 9:30 P.M. to 9:48 P.M. RECESS

had been drawn up, but an impasse was reached, but he does not
believe it would be beneficial to make this information public.

thing to do unless it is believed to be in the best interest of the
Village; he would feel differently about this if it were a homestead;
he believes determination should be made in the courts.
Trustee O'Reilly believes that, if this is approved, any developer can
ask the Village to exercise the Eminent Domain authority if they do
not want to pay a certain price for a property.
Trustee Reid stated that this has been a goal for 14 years, and
if the Board is serious about a Town Center, they must be ready
to support the developer.
Trustee Glover stated that a great deal of time was spent discussing
roadways at this meeting, and he strongly believes that this is the
right location for a major access road to the Town Center.
Mr. Schwartz stated that, as of 10 days ago, the balance of the land
in the Town Center was closed, and all of the land is now titled in
the name of the developer.
