food chains. President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes"

Mr. Balling presented a status report on The Commons of COMMONS OF
Buffalo Grove. The Hoffman Group has been working with BUFFALO GROVE
Talman Home Investments, Inc. ; there has been progress,
both in terms of Talman' s commitment to the Hoffman Group,
and also the presentation of a building program submitted
to Mr. Balling by the Hoffman Group. On the Consent Agenda,
there is a recommendation to refer a change in the Planned
Unit Development to the Plan Commission for consideration
to review this building program. The land planning changes
for the subdivision include the elimination of the townhomes
that are on the northeast section of the subdivision, and a
replatting of that area without alternate layout with single
family homes. The Hoffman Group is proposing a series of
models to be placed on the vacant lots in the subdivision.
The approval of the models would be contingent on Appearance
Commission approval . It is advisable that the Village of
Buffalo Grove consider an amendment to its Planned Unit
Development Agreement which is in effect on this property,
which would be the primary purpose of the Plan Commission
review and recommendation back to the Board.
Mr. Bill Griffin then outlined what they are proposing for
the site. He stated that the 22 proposed townhomes would
be replaced by approximately 13 single-family lots consistent
with the size of the lots in The Commons.
Mr. Stu Parr, representing the current residents of The
Commons, stated that they would like to have the bond money
surrendered because, although there have been some corrections
made, there are still many weeds, there is a dumpster on one
of the lots , and the landscaping by the bike path is in-
complete. Mr. Balling stated that most of those items would
be maintenance items , which would not be applicable under the
performance bond. Mr. Griffin stated that none of the sites
are completed and ready to turn over to the Park District.
Mr. Griffin stated that they are working on completing the
improvements cited by Mr. Parr. There was discussion on the
possibility of having the issuance of occupancy permits con-
tingent on the resolution of at least some of the concerns of
the residents. Mr. Griffin stated that he thinks the bridge
across the creek could be started in December or January and
completed by next year; this timetable has to do with the
engineering time, as well as the ordering of the bridge. It
was suggested that there be a list made of improvements needed,
along with a definite timetable for each improvement; if the
deadlines for the improvements are not met, then the bonds
should be called without further discussion. President Clayton
asked that the staff work with Mr. Griffin and report back to
the Board and Mr. Parr.
