Staff also recommends that we adopt the necessary resolution for the 1986 Contractual Street Maintenance Program. Moved by Reid, seconded by Glover, to adopt Resolution #85-33, a resolution approving an Agreement for Preliminary Engineering Services for the 1986 Villagewide Contractual Street Maintenance Project.

President Clayton declared a recess at 9:00 P.M. The meeting RECESS resumed at 9:10 P.M. James Sheridan, representing Trammell Crow, reviewed for the CHASE PLAZA Board the subject property which is located on the corner of PAD Arlington Heights Road and Lake-Cook Road in Chase Plaza. The restaurant originally proposed was for 6,400 square feet, the proposal presented this evening is for a smaller building of 4,500 square feet. The building is basically sited as it was originally but they may want to increase the size of the outside seating area on the west side of the property. The lighting has already been approved but they may wish to have additional lighting on the building to display it in the evenings on the south and west side. Mr. Gene Galinski, who will be the operator of the restaurant, stated the concept of the restaurant will be one like a Friday's or a Houlihan's with a seating capacity of 160 and a good quality of food. It will be a restaurant geared towards business people, families and also singles. Mr. Galinski stated he is involved in several other quality restaurants in the area. Mr. Sheridan stated that the anchor tenant, who has the right to disapprove anything over 4,500 square feet, did so as they were 0.41 concerned about parking; therefore, that is why the proposal is for a 4,500 square foot building. In answer to a question from the Board, Mr. Sheridan stated that there is always a possibility of increasing the size if the anchor tenant would agree, but it is not a probability; no additional parking has been provided, what is shown as green space is green space. 6637 6/3/85 Trustee O'Reilly stated that of the four options to review procedure, she feels it should come back to the Board for final approval. Mr. Balling stated the quickest way to proceed would be for the Board to reach concensus on policy, basically on the size of the restaurant as there is no land planning changes on this proposal; the applicant would then be sent directly to the Appearance Commission for architecture, landscaping, signage and lighting which could be at their June 27, 1985 meeting, and then be back to the Board by July 1, 1985 for final approval as no final action can be taken at this time. Mr. Sheridan stated that all aesthetic plans would be available for the Appearance Commission meeting on June 27. Moved by O'Reilly, seconded by Glover, to approve the concept of an approximately 4,500 square foot restaurant instead of a 6,400 square foot restaurant on the Chase Plaza Pad. Trustee Glover questioned whether the landscaping plan will be available for the Appearance Commission meeting and Mr. Sheridan stated that it would. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 5 - O'Reilly, Glover, Reid, Shields, Kowalski NAYES: 0 - None ABSENT: 1 - Marienthal Motion declared carried. President Clayton explained the planning process stating that the PRE-APPLICATIOT pre-application conference is the first meeting held to determine CONFERENCE if the Board feels that the concept of a plan is such that it ZALE CONSTRUC- would warrant more time spent on it so as to not waste developer's TION (Fiore) time or plan commission time in reviewing it. Lawrence Friedman, counsel for the developer, stated that Zale Construction has entered into a contract to purchase one half of the Fiore property and that the purpose this evening is to get some input from the Trustees before finalizing any plans and before any request for a referral to the plan commission. John Martin, Johnston Associates, reviewed the proposal which 1 subject property consists of 440 acres with 1,318 dwelling units, an 18 hole golf course, an 8 acre commercial site and a 9 acre office and research site. The northern part of the property (north of Route 22) consists of the 9 acres of office research; 17 acres of multi-family with approximately 200 dwelling units; 8 acres of commercial; 13.6 acres of single family estate area with approximately 20,000 square foot lots (approximately 30 lots) ; 23 acres west of the northern section of the golf course also being single family estate area with 20,000 square foot lots (approximately 50 lots) ; east of this is single family area yielding about 70 lots around the golf course amenity; and the final area to the north is single family area of 46 acres yielding approximately 161 lots. The southern part of the property consists of 110 acres of attached single family use to the east of the golf course to consist of 180 duplex units (43 acres) ; 235 townhouse units (33 acres) ; and approximately 33.4 acres of multi-plex type of program. The location of Buffalo Grove Road has been altered 6638 6/3/85 scaling down the intersection of Buffalo Grove Road and Route 22 giving the effect of a more residential open type character which provides the northern door of the community a view of the golf course amenity. The golf course has been designed along drainage ways for a more centralized form of storm water detention management. Trustee Glover stated that he feels the greatest asset reference this property is size, a lot of good community planning can be done; the natural rural characteristics of this parcel is also a great asset and important to keep in mind for planning; he has no problem with the land use, but is concerned with some of the density proposed; he would like to see one acre lots developed somewhere as there is a need for this size of lots; he is also concerned with the density in the south portion multi-plex, he would like to see fewer acres devoted to multi- plex or less dense multi-plex; he is concerned about active use parks other than the golf course; Buffalo Grove Road needs to be addressed, will be be a full four lane with medians and turn lanes; should consider the Route 22 100' scenic right-of-way; he is concerned about the fiscal impact reference a development of this size; he is willing to make concessions on public improvements in order to make one acre homesites market competitive. Trustee O'Reilly stated that she likes the improvement of Buffalo Grove Road; she questioned how much of the golf course is in the flood plain and how many acres would be buildable. Mr. Martin stated that 2/3 of the golf course would be buildable. In response to Trustee O'Reilly's suggestion of 1 acre plus parcels, Mr. Zale stated he has no objection to 1 acre lots, it is a matter of taste and that they will consider it. Trustee O'Reilly is also concerned about the lack of a school site on the plan and the impact on School District 96 and 102. She does not want any adverse impact on residents already in the Village. She feels the needs of children should be addressed and is concerned about the lack of public parks. Trustee Reid agrees with the comments already been made. He concurs that the restructure of Buffalo Grove Road is a definite improvement; he likes the idea of the golf course with housing around it; he is concerned with the density of the multi-family; he feels there should be some assurance that the office/research and the commercial parcels indicated will be developed; he feels there is a need to address the open land opportunities along the golf course, the impact on schools, parks and public use. Trustee Kowalski concurs with the statements of the other Trustees. She also would like to see more acre lots and enlargement of the other single family lots; she would prefer no multi-plexes at all in favor of duplexes; she likes the concept of multi-family surrounding the golf course, but would like to see something different in design. Trustee Shields concurs with many of the comments made; he has concerns for children in the property; he sees more of an adult community rather than a starter family community; he would like to see a lower density, as low as possible especially in the multi-family area; he feels it is an exciting proposal which should be carried through; he is concerned about the 8 acre commercial area, possibly should be larger to be a meaningful development; he also would like to see larger lot sizes and if 1 acre is not feasible possibly 1/2 or 2/3 acre lots. 6639 6/3/85 In response to a question from President Clayton reference the location of the custom built homes rather than tract homes; Mr. Zale stated they would be located in the northern left portion of the parcel. Mr. Zale stated it is the intention at this time to have the condo units sell for approximately $85,000 - $110,000, they would be two-story units with direct entry from the outside; the balance would be duplex and townhouses in the $120,000 - $160,000 range; there will be approximately two million dollars in off-site improvements in addition to the 120 acres of property donated. Mr. John Carusu, 1334 Gail Drive, stated he wants to move up to a nicer home, but will probably have to move out of the Village to do so as there are not large enough lots within the Village and because he does not want multi-family around his home. Lee Eakright, Business Manager for School District 96, expressed concern over the impact this development would have on the school district as the number of children potentially generated from this type of housing is not known at this time. He would be interested in being kept abreast of those figures when available and he is also interested in a donation to expand existing school facilities or a school site donation. President Clayton stated that if this proposal goes any further that staff will work very closely with the school district. Norm Katz, Vice-President of Rescorp Development, Inc. , reviewed RESCORP the proposal which is for a 43.59 acre site to be developed as DEVELOPMENT 460 garden apartment and townhouse units as rental units located (Bugner Farm) on Weiland Road north of Marie Avenue. The parcel presently is in the county and is subject to a 1975 court decree; they would like to bring the project into the Village; they feel it is a natural transition from what is industrial and commercial along Busch Avenue. The eight objectives they had in preparing the site plan were: 1) consistent with basic principals of the Village's Master Plan; 2) wanted to provide within the site transition for densities; 3) provide some portion of the units with garages; 4) provide for some kind of access to the 30 acre parcel immediately to the east; 5) keep height of buildings down to no more than three stories; 6) provide a distinct entryway into the development; 7) meet Village standards regarding traffic and emergency access to the site; 8) use materials that would produce a quality product. Bruce Johnston, Johnston Associates, Inc. , briefly described the site plan; access is from Weiland Road; Aptakisic Creek runs through the northwest portion of the property and most of the site drains into the creek, the small area that drains to the southeast - detention will be provided; as a major entrance feature they will create a lake system within that drainage pattern; they plan to deploy units on the site to buffer the existing single family on the west and to the south using a garage/townhouse type product, the balance of the product on the site will be two and three story garden apartments; the road will be situated in such a pattern as to connect with the 30 acre piece to the east; there will be an internal green belt, which is conceived as an active recreation area, with tennis courts, volley ball, tot lots, etc. and a recreational center next to the lake system; they also will provide 6640 6/3/85 widening of Weiland Road with a bike path system; are requesting sidewalks on one side of the street with a sidewalk system through the green belt area; providing 32' pavement as opposed to a 27' pavement required by the Village to provide parking on one side of the street; they have provided 2 to 1 parking in the open parking scheme and approximately 22 to 1 in the garage type scheme. Mr. Katz stated that this is an upscale rental development; the market will be basically young couples, they do not see a lot of children in this development as there is not a lot of multi- bedroom units; it is predominately a two bedroom development with some fireplaces. In response to a question from Trustee O'Reilly, Mr. Katz stated that all units would be rental and the lakes would be owned by the developer. Trustee O'Reilly expressed concern about the open space usefullness for children and questioned the rent structure for the development. In response to a question from Trustee O'Reilly, Mr. Raysa stated that the court decree does allow for 460 units with a density of 10.5 to 14 dwelling units per acre and if we were to annex the *CORRECTION property Title 19 would apply. *He also said that this decree does not apply to the Village of Bu falo Grove. Trustee Glover questioned the improvement for Weiland Road and expressed concern with the setbacks which he would like to see increased. Reference parking, he would like to see more green area and less asphalt and questioned parking on the main through street. Mr. Katz stated that every unit has a good inside/outside relationship; they were very careful about the living areas of the units and that they are very efficient in floor plan; utility rooms have been provided; and each unit has the capability of a fireplace. Trustee Glover would also like to see a reduction in density in order to increase open space and reduce the parking lot size. Trustee Reid questioned the traffic, fire lanes, and the alignment of the street system through the development. Mr. Katz stated that across the northern edge is a fire lane access to provide fire emergency access around the entire site with another access off of Marie into the site. Karen Larson, President of the Park Board, stated she wants to be sure the Village knows that there is no park land in this develop- ment, no matter what is intended there will be children living in the units; she expressed concern about the park area and the impact on the school district. She also stated that she would like to see the community go to 1 acre lots in order to keep residents within Buffalo Grove. Moved by Glover, seconded by Reid, to refer to the Plan Commission for review with all comments voiced tonight. In response to a comment by Trustee Glover, Mr. Johnson stated there is some flexibility in terms of units but there is no flexibility in terms of reduction in density in terms of 60 or 100 units; they will be as flexible as possible, but there are some restrictions and restraints. 6641 6/3/85 Trustee Shields agrees with comments made concerning large parking lots and the setbacks. He would like to see the project considered with as few variations as possible.
