with "For Sale" signs parked in shopping center parking lots. ON AUTOMOBILES
Uptown Federal has contacted him to see if there is anything
the Village can do to discourage this practice. Trustee
Marienthal requested Mr. Raysa to research the possibility of
an ordinance to prohibit this. After discussion, President
Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of the Village
Attorney investigating the possibility of an ordinance to prohibit

"For Sale" signs on automobiles in shopping center parking
lots; "No" indicates opposition to the Village Attorney
spending the time:
YES: Marienthal
NO: Stone, Hartstein, Glover, Reid
There was no objection from the Board for Mr. Balling to contact
the owner of the center where Uptown Federal is located advising
them of the complaint and to see if they would be willing to
advise anyone so parking automobiles on their lot with "For Sale"
signs that they do not want them to do so.
Mr. Balling noted the submission of the Management Report for MANAGEMENT
the month of June, 1984. There were no questions on same. REPORT
Mr. Brimm gave a brief summary and update on the revised INDUSTRIAL
Industrial Revenue Bond Program referencing his memo to Mr. REVENUE BONDS
Balling of July 9, 1984, which is on file in the Clerk's office,
noting the significant changes in the 1984 Tax Reform Act.
Mr. Balling brought the Board up-to-date on the two pending
applications. The first being Richco Plastics which the Board
gave a conditional approval of by resolution in March of this
year. Seven million dollars was sought by the company; they did
pursue $3.3 million from Buffalo Grove which was then our 1984
allocation and then went to Lake County and received the
unincorporated Lake County allocation of $1.7 million leaving
them short of their goal of $7 million. They have since come
to us and requested our entire 1984 allocation in addition to
the $3.3 million which was grandfathered to give them a total
of $6.6 million total project. Richco has stated that it is
essential that they receive at least $2 million of the Buffalo
Grove allocation. They would like the Board to formally
consider granting them a portion of Buffalo Grove's 1984
allocation so that Buffalo Grove's total issue would increase
in size to $5.3 million and that, combined with county issue
of $1.7, would give them a $7 million target. Mr. Balling stated
that he has a strong feeling that full IBD financing is essential to
get this project off the ground. In order to use the remaining
portion that we have allocated, it would be necessary for an
applicant to come forward and present a proposal to receive
approval and to close on their loan by December of this year.
The closest party to doing that is Lexington Development. They
have expressed an interest in developing a larger high-tech
center building at the northeast corner of Lexington and Lake-
Cook Road. There has been other interest expressed, but to date
no one has presented a formal application. Discussion followed
reference allocations from the county and from Buffalo Grove,
time frame needed, amounts requested, etc. Mr. Balling stated
there will be a 1985 allocation of approximately 3 million dollars;
that a presentation will be made at the August 6, 1984 Board meeting
reference Richco Plastics, and that he will advise them to proceed to
their next step. Trustee Hartstein requested that we proceed with
Richco only if Lexington is legally permitted to proceed with their
IDB, with their previously induced resolution in the name of Countyline
Partners.

In response to a question from Trustee Hartstein LAKE MICHIGAN
reference Lake Michigan water, Mr. Balling stated that WATER
it is still conceivable that we will be ready to turn on
Lake Michigan water August 1st, but we are dependent on the
continued performance of the general and sub-contractors to
clean up the balance of the reservoirs. The Commission is
meeting on Tuesday and we will be getting daily updates.
He further stated that Reservoir 7 was activated today; there
is a problem meeting the demands in water right now and
hopefully it will rain in the next few days or there possibly
will have to be a water ban enacted.
Mr. Balling stated that the Wheeling Plan Commission will ARLINGTON
be conducting a Public Hearing on the Lexington Development COUNTRY CLUB
Corporation proposal for the Arlington Country Club. Jim
Truesdell has monitored the planning that has progressed.
Mr. Balling recommends that the Board take a position on
this matter to be presented to the Wheeling Plan Commission
expressing concerns about density, the impact on Buffalo
Grove as relates to transportation; traffic signals, and
the overall lake and detention maintenance on the golf
course. There was no objections from the Board to drafting
up a position paper to be presented to the Wheeling Plan
Commission.
Mr. Balling reviewed for the Board the recommendation for CO-COUNSEL FOR
co-counsel for the land acquisition phase of Buffalo Grove LANE ACQUISI-
Road project, Lake County, Lake-Cook Road to Route 83. Mr. TION - B. G.
Raysa has recommended co-counsel to expedite the proceeding ROAD PROJECT
obe ha ipnreod jeacs t ounrd ciot-ciou nrsee mmendean t thta t aR ishare d oAf. k moandd a budget which is outlined in the July 16, 1984 memo from
Greg Boysen. The Village's share of the total legal services
anticipated would be in the area of $12,300 with a total of
the budget being slightly over $41,000. This has been cleared
by the Department of Transportation. Moved by Hartstein,
seconded by Reid, to concur with the recommendations of staff
and according to the memo from Greg Boysen dated July 16, 1984.

Mr. Balling reviewed for the Board the written request from BRUNSWICK
the Park District concerning the Brunswick Park site stating PROPERTY
they have changed their minds with respect to the configuration PARK
of the detention and now are desiring a wet detention which they DEVELOPMENT
opposed during the planning process. After discussion, the
concensus of the Board was to have Mr. Balling work with the
developer to see if he would be willing to change it to wet,
but not to change any of the approvals involuntarily at this
point in time. Trustee Stone requested Mr. Balling to advise
the Park District that something changed after the fact and
after we have had direction, that they have to live by the
decisions they have made and not change them after we have
given approval as this could cause problems in the future.
Plan Commissioner Goldspiel expressed concern if the plan
is changed from dry back to wet about the location of the
stream and the location of the paths and feels this should
be examined.
Mr. Balling stated, reference the Martin-Marbry Office MARTIN-MARBRY
Building which was approved by the Board in January for a OFFICE
6700 square foot facility with three modules just north BUILDING
of the Schwin Center on Buffalo Grove Road, that they have
proposed a plan change. They are proposing now that they
proceed with only two modules in the same configuration,
same landscaping, same architecture, and instead of having
an encased detention basin (underground vault) , have a
detention basin that would be designed pursuant to our
development ordinance on the surface which will be sodded.
This would give an extended front yard, a smaller building,
and some additional sodding the the back where parking
will not be required. He has requested Jim Truesdell to
advise the Plan Commission on Wednesday of this request.
Discussion followed reference setting a precedent by
changing an approved plan, issuance of permits admin-
istratively, and the possibility of handling in phases,
with the front yard detention as temporary for Phase I and
Phase II would be the untimate design, the encased detention.
Mr. Balling will proceed and have the Plan Commission review
the modification. The Board indicated support for the plan
provided the encased detention would be constructed when
and if the third module was constructed.
