PUBLIC HEARING - THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE FIORE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
President Clayton read from the Notice of Public Hearing which was
published in the Buffalo Grove Herald on June 19, 1987; she called
the Public Hearing to order at 8:03 P.M.
President Clayton then stated the purpose of the Public Hearing.
Mr. Balling stated that this Public Hearing is on an Annexation
Agreement Amendment, to deal with a specific issue, i.e. one-acre
houses on the Fiore Development; a request was received from the
builder to consider a rear yard reduction from a 100' minimum to
a 70' minimum; the developer previously pointed out the limitations
with a 100' minimum. After research, it was determined by staff
7153
7/6/87
that Buffalo Grove had the most extensive minimum of surrounding
communities. The builder of the homes has stated that a 70' minimum
would accommodate the largest homes which he wishes to build. Staff
believed that the most appropriate way to deal with this request would
be through an Annexation Agreement Amendment granting a reduction of
the rear year in R-E 1-acre, 1-family dwelling to 70' . !
President Clayton asked if there were any groups or agencies wishing
to give testimony; there were none.
President Clayton asked for questions or comments from the Board

Mr. Herbert Linn of Peterson & Haupt, representing Otis Develop- CROSSING
ment Company, is here today to present to the Board its plan for CENTER
a planned development under the B-3 zoning classification of the REZONING
Village.
Mr. Linn gave a brief background of the developer. Mr. Linn stated
that, approximately 15 years ago, Otis Associates designed the
Crossings Development, and as part of that development, a portion
was set aside for commercial development, consisting of 12 acres,
and in all proposals presented to the Board at that time, commercial
was the designated classification. Staff and the developer both
have different drawings which, in each case, show the site as
commercial. Subsequently, the zoning on the parcel lapsed because
no development proceeded; however, the Comprehensive Plan of the
Village of Buffalo Grove has called for commercial development on
that 12-acre site.
The developer appeared before the Board in January, and at that time
it seemed that the Board felt that commercial development was the
right use for the 12-acre parcel; the proposal was referred to the
Plan Commission.
7156
7/6/87
Mr. Jack Sturgeon of Otis Associates briefly reviewed the specifics
of the plan, which is shown as Alternate #1, which was approved by
the Plan Commission; the site encompasses 12 acres along the west
side of Arlington Heights Road; the concept is a specialty shopping
center with small modular shops clustered around a pond; there is a
pedestrian link which runs from north to south; the parking is
dispersed around the perimeter of the site; the total developed
square footage is approximately 105,000 square feet; the total
parking is for 500 cars.
The parking scheme would allocate the cars to two separate parking
areas, one at the northeast corner and one at the southeast corner;
these areas are entered through a major entrance off of Arlington
Heights Road approximately 400' north of Heritage Place, with a
secondary entrance off of Fremont Way; there is an access road
along the western perimeter of the parcel, which contains the rest
of the parking, and gives access to the loading and service areas
of the project; there will be a landscape buffer around the perimeter,
and would also feature landscaping internally. The architectural
look of the center would be residential, with 1,800 to 2,000 square
foot modules which would be single story or one and one-half story;
there is an 8,400 square foot footprint toward the northern end, and
a 35,000 square foot footprint toward the southern end, and a 6,000
square foot area which has been identified as restaurant use.
Mr. Sturgeon showed a drawing depicting the residential character
of the center, and also stated that the stores would have two
"fronts"; he also displayed a drawing showing a view of the center
across the pond from the restaurant.
Mr. Tom Vusinic, Executive Vice President of Otis Development
described the type of stores to be in the center, which would be
small, specialty-type shops.
For the record, President Clayton commented on several petitions
which had been received by the Board:
. . .88 signatures in support of the center;
. . .20 signatures in support of the center;
. . .62 signatures in support of the center;
. . .39 signatures (20% of the frontage property owners)
protesting the center; this particular petition requires
the extra majority vote of the Village Board;
. . .625 signatures protesting the center;
. . .9 signatures protesting the center
. . .1 letter protesting the center.
The above petitions are on file in the Clerk's office.
Mr. Balling then reported on the three reports compiled, i.e. :
1. Comparision of alternate land uses.
2. An updated report from the traffic consultant to evaluate
alternatives.
3. A second appraisal submitted by an appraiser which the Village
obtained to evaluate:
a. highest and best use of the property,
b. prospects of valued appreciation of adjacent property.
7157
7/6/87
The above reports are on file in the Clerk's office.
President Clayton then read into the record a communication from
Trustee Marienthal detailing his views on the proposed development;
the letter is also on file in the Clerk's office.
David Mattis, 1463 Chase Court, stated that there was a discrepancy
in one of the petitions, which stated that 62 people in favor of the
center had previously signed a petition opposing the center; Mr.
Mattis stated that only 21 of the names on the new petition had
previously signed an opposing petition.
Mr. Mattis then made a statement opposing the development, which
included comments as follows:
. . .Dispute of the "Special Use" critera in the Zoning Ordinance,
which the residents do not believe are being adhered to;
. . .Inadequate sound barrier and screening of noise, light, and
smells from the shopping center to the residential area;
. . .Inadequate emergency access, and possible difficulty in hooking
up equipment if there is fire in the interior of the center;
. . .Dr. Willard's statement urging the Board to work with residents
to come up with some appropriate use of the land;
. . .Increased traffic;
. . .Inadequate berming and lack of open space and recreational
facilities;
. . .Development will have detrimental effect on the neighborhood;
. . .Development will become a teenage hang-out;
. . .Development deos not comply with the Zoning Ordinance;
. . .Residential use seems to be the only use which will fit this
land;
. . .According to the Master Plan, there should be a reasonable
balance between residential and commercial.
Carol Stops, 1002 Fremont Way, read a prepared statement opposing
the center; this statement is on file in the Clerk's office.
Elliott Hartstein, 908 Providence Lane, made a statement opposing
the development, including the following points:
. . .A review of the history of various land use instances in the
community;
. . .Traffic burden - it is the responsibility of the Board to take
increased traffic into consideration when looking at any development;
. . .Although this property was intended to be commercial, and was
appropriate at that time, times have changed, and it is no longer
necessary;
. . .Development will be detrimental to the success of the Town Center
Development;
7158
7/6/87
. . .Residential housing should have a minimum of intrusion from
non-residential land uses and traffic;
. . .It does not make sense to turn every intersection into a
commercial jungle;
. . .The development should be rejected because he believes that it
is in the best interest of the entire Village of Buffalo Grove;
. . .With regard to the fiscal impact for School District 96, there
is very little difference to that District in terms of multi-
family or commercial development;
. . .Now is not the time for this Board to turn its back on the
citizens, the Town Center, and the traffic problem - the answer
must be "No" to changing from residential to commercial;
. . .Alternate #1 was not the plan which was published 30 days prior
to Public Hearing;
. . .Residents were led to believe that the developer was not planning
on proceeding with the plan incorporating a food store;
. . .Mr. Hartstein commends Mr. Otis for making progress;
. . .No commercial plan makes any sense on this particular parcel;
a commercial plan of this type would make sense in another
portion of the Village.
Dean Graham commented in opposition to the center:
. . .Comments on the appraisals;
. . .Loading docks and trash bins are too close to the homes;
. . .With regard to the Plan Commission vote, twu of the "No"
votes were opposed because of the food store, which is in
the plan being presented;
. . .Fiscal impact table does not take into consideration the amount
of money that residents of multi-family housing would bring to
the Village in shopping dollars, besides the tax dollars;
. . .Sound of the trucks will be too close to residents;
. . .Shopping center traffic will use residential roads.
Monte Belger, 1044 Providence, spoke in opposition to the center:
. . .Loading docks are less than 100' from adjacent homes;
. . .Multi-family residential development will have a positive
fiscal impact;
. . .Commercial development will generate nine times the traffic
that would be generated by residential;
. . .Decrease in property values;
. . .Board has to consider what is best for the property today, not
10 years ago;
. . .Quality of life for surrounding residents will be better served
by residential.
7159
7/6/87
Jack Edny, 960 Burgess Circle, spoke with regard to the value of
the surrounding homes, stating that the report done underestimated the
value of those homes.
Richard Kidder asked a question regarding zoning, which was answered
by Mr. Balling.
Jeff Gilman, 895 Newport Court, commented on the decreased value of
the surrounding properties.
Karen Larson, 1279 Farnsworth, stated that Fremont Way makes a circle,
which will encourage shopping center traffic to use residential streets
to enter and exit the center; she believes it is a magnificent
shopping center and should be located elsewhere in the Village; because
of the fact that Fremont Way makes a circle and affects all residents
of the Crossings, everyone is represented, rather than just perimeter
residents.
John Wakeland, 1500 Anderson Lane, made a statement in support of the
proposed center, stating that he always knew this property was
designated as commercial property, and that this is a quality develop-
ment which has the input of residents and would be of economic benefit
to the entire Village; he encouraged the Board to accept the Plan
Commission recommendation and approve the Crossings Center, Alternate
#1, for the benefit of the Village of Buffalo Grove.
Jim Schaffer, 893 Newport, commented on reduced property values and
reduced assessments, and also on the percentage of occupancy of the
proposed center; he commented on the Traffic Report and the increased
traffic at the intersection of Route 83 and Arlington Heights Road.
Clarice Rech commented that, when this property was originally zoned
commercial, it was wise and prudent, but is not necessary any more;
Buffalo Grove has changed over the years; there must be a balance of
commercial and residential; she urged Mr. Otis to consider developing
this center in another portion of the Village.
Mr. Carmignani lsummarized the reports and studies which were submitted
to the Plan Commission regarding this development. Mr. Carmignani and
Mr. Balling then answered numerous questions from the audience with
regard to the traffic situation.
In Esponse to a question from Larry Sils, Mr. Raysa explained the
legal rights of the property owner to petition the Village Board;
that petition then must be reviewed by the Village Board; he also
reviewed his letter of June 29, 1987 to Mr. Balling regarding La
Salle Factors in Zoning, which are the determining factors in a
court's review on whether there was proper or improper rezoning of
a property.
A resident of Providence Lane commented that he believes the reason
for this development is to make a lot of money for the Village.
Hank Watson, 1516 Anderson Lane, conwiented on the impact studies
done; stated that the closest point of the loading docks is at least
150' from the residences; he believes that this is a unique shopping
center; he believes the traffic issues can be addressed; there are
residents who support the shopping center and would like to see it
built.
7160
7/6/87
A resident stated that the proposed shopping center is adjacent to
a park and will jeopardize the children of the area.
Susan Person, 1201 Bristol, stated that the corner on which she lives
is directly across the proposed center, and is a school bus stop,
where the children play in the street and will be in danger from the
drivers from the shopping center.
Susan Sizel stated that putting a light at Heritage Way would not
solve the problems, since the congestion occurs at Fremont.
Jim Shaffer asked the Board members to state their opinions
regarding this development.
President Clayton asked if there were any questions or comments from
the Board or the developer.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Glover, to pass Ordinance #87-50, approving
a rezoning of the R-1 single family district to the B-3 Planned
Business Center District as a P.U.D. and approving a preliminary
for the Crossings Center at Arlington Heights Road and Fremont Way.
Mr. Raysa pointed out several technical changes in the proposed
ordinance; there were no concept changes.
Mr. Linn asked for a copy of the draft ordinance, which was provided
for him for review by President Clayton.
In response to a request from Clarice Rech, Mr. Raysa explained
the requirement for 20% of adjacent property owners to force a
2/3 affirmative vote by the corporate authorities to pass an
ordinance.
Mr. Linn asked for clarification of "fast food"; Mr. Raysa commented
that sandwich shop or deli would be included in the "fast food"
definition.
Trustee Reid amended the motion to make it subject to Mr. Raysa
adding language defining "fast food" and also subject to the
technical changes pointed out by Mr. Raysa; Trustee Glover
seconded the amendment.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows:
AYES: 0 - None
NAYES: 5 - Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski, Shifrin
ABSENT: 1 - Marienthal
Motion defeated.
Mr. Otis stated that he had requested that the Board vote on the
previous plan as a matter of legal procedure; he would now like the
Board to consider this plan without the food store, and the con-
tinuation of small specialty shops instead; increasing the buffering
around the perimeter of the site and to provide 60-80' of green area,
and to reduce the center by 5,000-10,000 square feet.
Mr. Otis stated that they do have a food store anchor signed, and
the only way to eliminate the food store would be to have it voted
down; he then showed the plan with the food store eliminated, and
7161
7/6/87
small specialty shops in its place, said plan to be noted as
Alternate #3, which they believe addresses the major concerns of
the residents and the Village; they do intend for this parcel to be
a commercial center, and will exhaust all avenues to do so. Mr. Otis
asked that the Board allow them to petition the Plan Commission with
the change eliminating the food store; he does not believe that
this center will in any way be in competition with the Town Center,
or any other center, since there is no other center like this.
A resident asked if the developer could consider making both
entrances into the center on Arlington Heights Road.
Moved by Shifrin, seconded by Reid, to refer the request of Otis
and Associates for the revised plan to be returned to the Plan
Commission for review and Public Hearing.
Mr. Hartstein asked the Board to let the developer know their
opinions and concerns.
Carlene Kreiter, 1332 Fairfax, stated that the residents do not want
any type of commercial; they want residential.
Carol Stops stated that the original petition was against any
shopping center; she also asked if the original petition would
suffice. Mr. Raysa stated that a new petition should be obtained
for at least the 20% of the adjacent property owners in order to
require a 2/3 majority vote.
A resident stated that they do not want any type of a shopping
center.
Peg Mettendorf, 1017 Chambliss, noted the number of empty stores
in the Village, and questioned the need for another shopping center.
A resident stated that he does not think these specialty shops can
compete with Long Grove.
Jim Shaffer stated that the Board make it clear to the developer that
the residents will be involved in every session.
Trustee Glover stated that he does not have any concerns that have
not been mentioned; he does not believe residential would be eutopia;
he believes Mr. Otis should have the opportunity to be referred to
the Plan Commission; he pointed out that, just because this development
is referred to the Plan Commission, it does not mean automatic approval
by the Village Board.
Trustee Reid concurred with Trustee Glover, stating that he believes
Mr. Otis has a right to be referred to the Plan Commission.
Trustee Shields agrees with Trustee Glover and Trustee Reid, but he
cannot see the need for another shopping center.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows on the motion:

reviewed the procedure which will be followed.
Mr. Mattis referred to Trustee Marienthal's letter, noting that
he believes there needs to be a workshop meeting. President
Clayton stated that she is sure that the developer will have all
changes incorporated before Public Hearing.
Trustee Glover pointed out how much the Village and the Board
appreciates the work of the Plan Commission, and apologized for
any harrassment they may have been subjected to.
