President Clayton then swore in Larry Freedman, Attorney, and
Rick Piggott, Lexington Development, to give testimony.
Mr. Freedman stated that one year ago, Lexington Development
entered into an Annexation Agreement relative to the development
of Old Farm Village II; this involved a single-family development
under both the R-3 and R-4 zoning classification; the plan calls
for a total of 246 homes, 150 of which were to be in the R-3
district. At the time the Agreement was entered into, it was
l , not contemplated that there would be any different product
developed in either district; they chose the R-3 because they
felt it would be more compatible; although it is two separate
zoning districts, they view it as one development with one type
of product. As an oversight, their smallest unit measures
1,860 square feet, and the Ordinance does not allow for a unit
of less than 1,950 square feet in the R-3 district. The developer
had begun building their smallest unit (1,860 square feet) in both
zoning districts, and had begun foundations when the Building
Department pointed out to the developer that they were under the
minimum square footage.
The developer is selling a total of 28.67% of the total number of lots
in the subdivision of this particular size unit, which means that they
will have a demand for 43 such lots; they are requesting that they be
allowed to build 30 of those lots.
Mr. Freedman stated that building these 30 houses would not change
the plan or the product.
President Clayton asked if there were any agencies or groups present
who wished to give testimony; there were none.
Trustee Reid asked how many of these models have been sold on these
j lots. Mr. Piggott stated that they have 6 or 7 contracts, and since
j they discovered the discrepancy, they have taken the model out of
sales for the R-3 district; there are three foundations started.
Mr. Raysa stated that the Public Hearing Document before the Village
Board tonight is entitled "Amendment to Old Farm Village II Annexation
Agreement drafted 4/21/87."
President Clayton asked if there were any questions from the public;
there were none.
President Clayton closed the Public Hearing at 7:58 P.M.
President Clayton asked if there were any questions from the QUESTIONS FROM
audience; there were none. THE AUDIENCE

4/27/87
Mr. Marc Schwartz, attorney, made a brief presentation to the TOWN CENTER
Board asking for approval of the changes recommended by the (Change in Plan)
Plan Commission.
Mr. Jerry Brim made a presentation to the Board with regard to
the change in the main entrance and how it will affect the site.
Trustee Marienthal asked to see an overlay of the original
landscape plan and the landscape plan presented tonight; Mr. Brim
displayed the requested plans.
Trustee Marienthal stated that, on the original plan, there was
an access to go through the mall to get to the park area, and
that is not on this plan. Trustee Marienthal stated that he
believes something is being lost by taking that away, and
suggested that that access be reinstated. Mr. Schwartz stated
that two reasons that access was deleted were because of security
and vandalism.
Trustee Glover stated that, without a plan, he had trouble
visualizing the proposed changes, and asked Mr. Brim to again review
the changes surrounding the restaurant site. Mr. Brim did so, and
also expanded on the developments of the outlots.
Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Taxman stated unequivocally that there will
not be a fast-food restaurant on the site at all.
Trustee Glover stated that the uniqueness and attractiveness of
the main entrance is being lost in the new plan.
Trustee Kowalski asked a question regarding the amount of green
space, which was answered by Mr. Brim. Mr. Brim also displayed
some architectural drawings in response to a question from
Trustee Kowalski. Trustee Kowalski stated that the proposed
architecture is significantly different from what was originally
proposed.
Mr. Brim stated that Mr. Carmignani, the Village Traffic Engineer,
has reviewed the traffic plan and is pleased with the pattern.
Trustee Shifrin asked questions regarding the bike path and the
second entrance, which were answered by Mr. Brim.
Trustee Marienthal asked for a polling on the placement of an
entrance to the park in the northern section (Phase II) .
Mr. Schwartz stated that, since this plan was approved on
November 3, 1986, partner Melvin Simon & Associates has become
actively involved and has studied the project and included their
retail expertise; the changes before the Board tonight reflect
that retail expertise, as well as addressing the concerns of the
Village traffic engineer. The developer believes they have just
improved the plan which has already been approved.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of
having the developer consider an additional entrance through the
building in Phase II from the residential area; "No" indicates
opposition:
YES: Marienthal, Glover, Shields**, Kowalski
NO: Reid*, Shifrin
* Thinks the revised parking is an improvement.
** Although he also believes the revised parking is an improvement.
7106
4/27/87
President Clayton stated that, as has been noted tonight
that the Board wishes to see a different main entrance, the item
can be handled at the Appearance Commission.
Trustee Glover stated that he is concerned about the amount of
green space, since plans were just received today, and there has
been no chance to review them. Mr. Brim explained the changes
which were made with regard to green space. Trustee Glover
stated that he believes it is unfair to consider a change which
was just done today and has not been reviewed.
Mr. Schwartz stated that they addressed the concerns raised by
the Plan Commission and the staff, and have added back in the
green space at the northern outlot; he elaborated on the proposed
green space; they have done nothing but increase the green space.
Mr. Brim stated that the plans which were presented to the Plan
Commission did include the outlot building, and no changes have
occurred since that time; the building has not changed.
Trustee Glover asked if the developer would be willing to remove
the outlot building and come back later with a proposal. Mr.
Schwartz stated that the outlot is very important to the overall
plan, and suggested that the outlot building be left in subject
to Appearance Commission review and approval; he would rather not
remove the outlot building, because it is very important to the
plan. Trustee Glover asked if this has to come back for Board
approval Mr. Balling responded affirmatively.
Mr. Schwartz stated that the developer will put in the access
entrance which the Board requested in the polling.
Moved by Shifrin, seconded by Reid, to approve the change in plan
and Plan Commission recommendation for Town Center, including the
remarks made tonight with regard to an additional entrance in
Phase II leading to the residential, and also the main entrance
and the outlot on the north side of the main entry drive being
considered by the Appearance Commission with a recommendation back
to the Village Board, also referring to the revised 4/27/87
drawings which clarify the south driveway and the restaurant
driveway. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 5 - Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shields, Shifrin
NAYES: 1 - Kowalski
Motion declared carried.
President Clayton declared a recess from 8:55 P.M. until 9:12 P.M. RECESS

the Park District item on the agenda, in consideration of the CHANGE
number of people in the audience for this item; there were no
objections.
Mr. Mike Rylko, Park District Director, introduced Mr. Larry PARK DISTRICT
Reiner, new Park Board member, and Mr. Bob McNeely, Park Board (Maintenance
member. Building)
7107
4/27/87
Mr. Jeffrey Brown, architect, distributed a factual sheet
regarding the proposed building, and then made a presentation
to the Board regarding same. The building is located on Village
property on the old sanitary district right-of-way at Willow
Stream Park; the building would have 10,500 square feet on the
first level (70'x150') , and the second level would have 1,330
square feet (19'x70') , for a total of 11,830 square feet; the
storage area would be 140'x150' , and there would be 18 parking
stalls.
�•/ President Clayton stated that the two issues at hand are: 1)
Whether the Village wants to sell the land to the Park District,
and 2) Land use.
In answer to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Brown stated
that the proposed building would range from 18' to 26' in height.
Mr. Brown also described the uses which would take place in the
building and the surrounding lot.
Trustee Glover asked how the concerns of the surrounding residents
would be addressed; Mr. Brown stated that they would do that through
architecture and landscaping.
Mr. Rylko described the type of traffic which would be used at
the site.
Trustee Marienthal questioned the compatibility of this use with
the surrounding area, and believes that this will change the
character of the area.
Trustee Marienthal also commented on the future expanded size of
the building (an additional 350 square feet) , the possible
pollution, and the possibility of decreased property values.
Trustee Shields asked how close the building is to the nearest
houses; Mr. Brown stated that the closest home is 300' away.
Trustee Shields also had a concern about the building material
so as to make the building blend as much as possible; and he suggested
shifting the building so that the narrow end faces the adjoining homes.
Trustee Kowalski stated her concerns as follows: mass, height,
building material, proximity to adjoining homes, and land use.
In answer to a question from Trustee Shifrin, Mr. Rylko stated that
the site is between 6 and 7 acres, and he described the surrounding
land uses.
Mr. Rylko stated that the subject site was chosen because it is
the most economical and centrally located.
Trustee Shifrin asked if this site could possibly be a park if the
proposed building were not to be built; Mr. Rylko stated that is
a possibility.
Mr. Brown also described the decorative concrete masonry for
Trustee Shifrin.
Trustee Reid stated that his main concern is with the land use,
since this would be an industrial garage in a residential neighborhood.
7108
Mr. Rylko stated that the surrounding site will be the largest
facility the Park District will have to maintain, so having the
maintenance facility there would be most convenient; he stated
that other Park Districts in the area have their maintenance
facility within the park site.
Trustee Marienthal stated that this plan would take a piece
of property which would be an addition to a central park and
cover it with a building; he suggests looking elsewhere for this
building site, and adding on to the park area instead.
Several residents of the area expressed the following concerns:
. . .The fact that the main access for traffic would be through the
parking lot for the swimming pool.
. . .Even after exiting the swimming pool parking lot, the traffic
pattern would have to be exclusively through residential streets.
. . .The other recreational facilities at Willow Stream Park, which
would mean a great many children in the area where the trucks would
be driving.
. . .The possibility of children trying to climb the fence to get into
the parking area where the trucks are stored.
. . .The increase in noise levels.
. . .The increase in dust and pollution.
. . .The homeowners were told that this area would contain soccer and
baseball fields.
. . .The nature on the site which would be destroyed.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of the
Park District pursuing this site for their maintenance building;
"No" indicates opposition:
YES: None
NO: Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin
Mr. Balling made a presentation to the Board regarding the FACILITIES
Facilities Plan, details of which are contained in his memo to PLAN
the Board of April 23, 1987.
Mr. Balling recommends that the proposed salt storage building be
dropped from the plan, and that a supplemental proposal be pre-
sented to the Board at a later time. It is also recommended that
the lower level of the Village Hall also be deleted from the plan and
considered as a separate design element at a future date.
Moved by Glover, seconded by Shields, that staff be authorized to
proceed with design development for the Police Station, the Golf
Course Club House, and the Public Service structural addition,
with the addition that there would be a separate design for the
salt storage facility and the lower level of the Village Hall.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 6 - Marienthal, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin
NAYES: 0 - None

Special Use; the property is basically R-1 right now; they are
proposing 42 units (down from 120 units) ; the units would be
townhouses with 2-car garages.
In answer to a question from Trustee Kowalski, Mr. Brown
described the type of townhouses proposed.
Trustee Shifrin stated that he is not happy with the site, and
believes that there is too much of this type of housing in the
area.
Trustee Marienthal asked if this development could be connected
to another road, so that this does not become an island unto itself;
Mr. Brown explained why that would be very difficult to do.
Moved by Glover, seconded by Shifrin, to refer Bently Place at
Weiland Road south of Busch Road, Shannon & Associates, Inc. to
the Plan Commission. Upon voice vote, the motion was unanimously
