Herbert Linn, attorney, and Tom Vucinic and Tom Swarthout of Otis CROSSINGS
Development introduced themselves to the Board. COMMERCIAL
Mr. Linn pointed out that they are here for two issues tonight.
Otis Development owns two parcels on Arlington Heights Road, one
of which is approximately 12.6 acres for which they are asking
B-3 zoning; the second parcel is a 5.2 acre piece at Arlington
Heights Road and Route 83, for which they are asking for annexa-
tion, rezoning to 0 & R, and a 2-lot subsivision, one lot of which
would be 1 acre with a branch bank facility on it, and the other
would be 4.2 acres with a small office building.
Mr. Linn then reviewed the history of the Crossings Development.
Mr. Vucinic displayed a rough picture of what the shopping center
would look like; the materials would be masonry, with accents in
wood; the building will be approximately 40,000 square feet; they
will try to maintain the residential character; the site plan was
displayed; the access points were noted; there will be only one curb
cut on Arlington Heights Road; there will be detention along the
entrie frontage; a rear elevation was displayed; there will be berming,
a 6' fence, and extensive landscaping.
Trustee Kowalski asked what type of tenants will be in the shopping
center. Mr. Swarthout stated that there could be some type of
specialty food store, and other specialty shops. Trustee Kowalski
stated that she would like to see this parcel developed in some way
other than a shopping center.
7046
1/19/87
Trustee Glover stated that he has no problem with the land use,
but he does have a problem with a strip shopping center; he would
rather see berms than a fence; he would like better landscaping
in the front; he would like to see a more innovative plan; in order
to go to the Plan Commission, they must be flexible; he could not
approve something in this design nature if it came back to the Board.
Trustee O'Reilly concurred with Trustee Glover; she does not think
there should be building as far as the ordinances will allow; she
is concerned as to how this will be integrated into the residential
community; she stated that, if there is a food store, she does not
believe that a 24-hour operation will be very popular; she is generally
not opposed to this land use because it has always been expected that
this would be commercial, and this has always been promised to School
District #96 as a source of revenue.
Trustee Marienthal has many of the same concerns already expressed;
he believes that the layout of the buildings should be spread out
more; he thinks there should be a different parking layout; he does
not have a problem with the land use.
Trustee Reid stated that he has no problem with the use, but he is not
happy with the design.
Mr. Vucinic stated that they envision this to be something of the
same design as the Bannockburn Center.
President Clayton stated that she agrees with the use, and District
#96 needs this piece, and noted that this will be a difficult piece
of land for the developer to work with.
Moved by Glover, seconded by O'Reilly, to refer the Crossings
Commercial Center (Arlington Heights Road and Route 83) to the Plan
Connnission. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 4 - Marienthal, O'Reilly, Glover, Reid
NAYES: 1 - Kowalski
ABSENT: 1 - Shields
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Linn noted that the next parcel is approximately 5.2 acres, OTIS OFFICE
and is on the northwest corner of Arlington Heights Road and Route
83. Approval of three items is being proposed: annexation into
the Village; rezoning of the parcel to the 0 & R District; and
permission to create a 2-lot subdivision, which he explained.
The 1-acre parcel would have a branch bank facility with six teller
spaces, and the balance of the parcel would be developed with an
approximate 50,000 square foot office building.
In answer to a question from Trustee O'Reilly, Mr. Linn explained
why this must be treated as two parcels.
Mr. Balling stated that he does not believe that the sewer connection
will be a problem.
There was discussion on the tree line behind the Long Grove Church, and
it was noted that the developer and staff have been and will be in
contact with the church.

stated that they will sell what the market wants.
President Clayton asked each Trustee to give their views on this parcel:
