for Grove Terrace Apartments, made a presentation to the Board. APARTMENTS
Mr. LeNoble reviewed the changes which have been made to the plan
since it last appeared before the Board in December of 1985; he
\6irig,

2/18/86
stated that the plan was turned down by the Plan Commission,
and that their main concern seemed to be the increase in density
of 12 units; he commented on the Fire Department concerns; they
have now reduced the density back to the original density of 126
units; there will be one inside parking space for each unit, and
one outside parking space for each unit; they propose moving the
buildings back on the lot by the distance of the tandem parking;
the only essential difference in the plan is the elimination of
the tandem parking.
Trustee Kowalski arrived at this time.
Plan Commissioner Musfeldt stated that one of the main concerns
of the Plan Commission is the traffic effect; another concern is
the high density.
Trustee Glover stated that he wants to see as much indoor parking
as possible; Mr. LeNoble stated that that is economically difficult.
In answer to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. LeNoble stated that
the elevations are face brick on all sides, and the units will range
in size from 900+ square feet to 1,500+ square feet.
Trustee Glover asked about the possibility of a light at Cambridge
Drive, and Mr. Kuenkler stated that it is a possibility. Trustee
Glover asked that a traffic engineer look at the situation.
In answer to a question from Trustee Reid, Mr. Balling stated that,
if a traffic light is warranted, the Village would be responsible
for a portion of it. Mr. LeNoble and Mr. Weiss stated that they
would consider paying for their portion of a traffic light.
Mr. Balling stated that practice is to ask the developer to pick up
the entire local portion of the light. The Village would then pick
up their share of the ongoing maintenance and energy charges.
Trustee Reid stated that he is concerned about a plan that has been
unanimously turned down by the Plan Commission, then had a modifica-
tion in density, and is brought before the Village Board; he is very
uncomfortable with this proposal. Trustee Reid believes there should
be a traffic study done, and then the plan should go back to the Plan
Commission with the revised density. Trustee Reid asked how much longer
the sign will be up; Mr. Weiss responded to Trustee Reid's question.
In answer to a question from Trustee Marienthal, Mr. LeNoble stated
that the elevation of the buildings on the new plan is essentially
the same as was on the previous plan. Trustee Marienthal asked what
measures were being taken to landscape between the parking and Dundee
Road; Mr. LeNoble responded to Trustee Marienthal. Trustee Marienthal
asked if the developer plans to meet all donation requirements that
were enacted when the ordinance was first passed annexing this property;
Mr. LeNoble stated that the biggest thing they are contributing to is an
increase in size of the watermain, and it is still their intent to make
that donation; they will also contribute an oversized walk which is part
of the bike path system; and they will provide a pad for a bus stop at
the intersection.

Trustee Shields believes that this should go back to the Plan
Commission to rework some of the details.
Mr. LeNoble stated that he had asked if the Village wanted an
updated traffic study, and he was told that it was not necessary.
Trustee O'Reilly stated that there seems to be a procedural problem
in that no one has asked for a traffic study up to this point.
Moved by Glover, seconded by Shields, to refer this plan back to
the Plan Commission for a full review, accompanied by the concerns
expressed by the Village Board tonight.
Trustee O'Reilly asked Mr. Raysa if this building were the same as
the approved plan, and it was going from condominium to an apartment,
could the Board refuse it; Mr. Raysa stated that the Board could say
"No, you cannot have apartments".
In answer to a question from Mr. Weiss, Mr. Raysa stated that the Board
could not object to a condominium owner renting their owned unit.
Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows on the motion:
AYES: 6 - Marienthal, O'Reilly, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski
NAYES: 0 - None
Motion declared carried.
Mr. Balling confirmed to Mr. LeNoble that they should get a traffic
plan, and that staff would work with the developer. Mr. Balling
informed Mr. LeNoble that he will send a letter with comments from
tonight's meeting.
Discussion took place on this subject regarding participation by ROADWAY TERMINAL
every community involved. SCALE
