Mr. Peter Jarvis then made a presentation to the Board, stating
that the site is just under 200 acres which they intend to develop
as a business park containing office, research and development,
and some light manufacturing.
Mr. Freedman stated that they realize that road alignment would
have to be worked out with regard to Busch/Deerfield extended.
Mr. Jarvis discussed possible ways of accommodating that alignment.
Mr. Jarvis stated that detailed engineering date is complete for the
balance of the property.
Mr. Freedman stated that 7.6 acres would be held back in anticipation
of the Soo Line station.
Mr. Jarvis then showed slides of the Kensington Development, which is
a project they have done.
Mr. Jarvis stated that they propose to use essentially the same planning
technique as the Corporate Grove. They anticipate 30,000-50,000 square
foot buildings in the early stages, and 50,000-100,000 square foot
buildings in the later stages; they do not propose heavy recreation
areas, but will probably have some picnic areas; they do not perceive
the railroad station as being a problem.
It was noted that the Fire Department should look very carefully at
the 850' cul-de-sac.
Moved by Marienthal, seconded by Reid, to refer the Covington Corporate
Center (Russell Ray/Pekara/Santucci West Property) to the Plan Commission.

NAYES: 0 - None

Motion declared carried.
President Clayton noted that the comments made tonight are just a
few of the items which the Plan Commission will be reviewing.
Mr. Bill Dziengelewski, Contract Manager for American, Construction TACO BELL
Manager for Richard L. Cohen, who is the franchisee for Taco Bell,
who is proposing to build a Taco Bell at the Ranch Mart, made a
brief presentation to the Board on the proposed building.
Trustee Marienthal questioned the drive-through loop, and asked why
the building cannot be set back further to accommodate the drive-
through, and also why the drive-through cannot be narrowed. Mr.
Dziengelewski stated that the placement of the building is in compliance
with the zoning; they have the required number of parking spaces within
their plat; setting the building back further would eliminate the eight
parking spaces at the rear of the building; there is a possibility of
shared parking with the Ranch Mart.
6952
8/4/86
Trustee Marienthal also is concerned that headlights from cars
in the drive-through will shine right into the eyes of a driver
going westbound on Dundee Road.
Mr. Dziengelewski said Trustee Marienthal's point is well taken; he
stated that this plan suffices all zoning requirements. The landscaping
at the front of the building will be heavy, and Mr. Dziengelewski
reviewed the proposed landscaping. Trustee Reid suggested some more
mature hedges to reduce the traffic hazards. Mr. Dziengelewski
said the east side of the property will be heavily landscaped to
buffer from the Mobil station.
Mr. Balling stated that, if this is perceived as a minor change by the
Board, the plan would be sent back to the Appearance Commission; if the
change is not perceived as minor by the Board, the plan will be sent to
the Plan Commission.
Trustee Reid stated that he does not see a major difference in the
land pattern.
In answer to a question from President Clayton, Mr. Truesdell stated
that no other changes are proposed.
Mr. Truesdell stated that he does not believe that the change is
significant.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he does not believe that the drive-
through needs to be 22' wide; Mr. Dziengelewski explained that there
needs to be a by-pass lane around the drive-through so that parked
cars can get around cars in the drive-through lane.
Plan Commissioner Goldspiel stated that, if this plan is referred
to the Plan Commission, it would include looking into stacking space,
which seems to be very small; he suggests that the addition of a
drive-through lane would be more than a minor change.
Moved by Reid, seconded by Marienthal, to refer the Taco Bell property
to the Plan Commission.
Mr. Dziengelewski stated that they would like to expedite the develop-
ment of this property, and it will take about 60 days to get on the
Plan Commission agenda; he asked, if they were to have a cross-parking
agreement with the Ranch Mart, and if they were able to set the building
back in compliance with the approved plan submitted by Pizza Hut, the
Board would then consider this a minor change.
Mr. Truesdell stated that shared parking is allowable. Mr. Balling
stated that the Ranch Mart would not suffer because of the size of
the parking lot.
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of considering
a new plan with a modified change as described tonight, with the answers
to the questions which have come up; "No" indicates opposition:
