are elected as a Board to make prudent decisions for the citizens, and if a
Trustee finds he is in the minority, his right to speak out should not be
usurped because he is a Trustee.
Trustee Stone stated that he had been misquoted, and his
actual statement was that if a Trustee has an opinion, it should be stated
that it is his individual opinion and not that of the entire Board.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE Burton Harris , developer, and George. Miller, President of
PLAZA/HARRIS the Bank of Buffalo Grove, were present to request plat and
RESUBDIVISION plan approval of the Harris Resubdivision which will be a
bank and an executive office building located at the south-
east corner of Lake Cook and Arlington Heights Roads.
Mr. Kuenkler reviewed the Village Engineer's report, dated
October 12, 1978, recommending engineering approval of the resubdivision
subject to seven conditions.
Trustee Marienthal noted that the Plan Commission recommended
approval of the resubdivision by a 2-1 vote.
Lengthy discussion took place regarding the Village's
requirement for the developer to install a 20" water main along the Arlington
Heights Road border of the subject property. Mr. Harris stated that the 20"
main is not necessary for this project because the existing 8" mains along
Arlington Heights Road and along Lake Cook Road are adequate to service it;
therefore, he felt it was an imposition on them to have to construct the 20"
main which would cost approximately $9,000. He believed that if they are
required to construct the main across their property, every property owner
along the route of the main should be required to do the same. He said they
would be willing to pay their share, but he did not feel they should pay more
than their proportionate interest in the Village.
It was noted that the 20" main is necessary to loop the water
system servicing the Lake County Strathmore subdivision in accordance with the
Clark Deitz water study. When the water study was adopted by the Board, a
decision was made that any development along the 20" water main route would
have to pay the cost.
In response to questions, Mr. Kuenkler stated that it may
not be practical to construct the 20" main at this time, and suggested that
a contribution for the cost of the construction be made and put in escrow as
a water system improvement fee.
President Fabish polled the Board, "Yes" indicating favor
of the developer bearing the cost of construction of a 20" water main along
Arlington Heights Road from the south property line to the midpoint of Lake
Cook Road, and "No" indicating opposition. The poll found the following:
YES: 5 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
NO: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Bogart
Mr. Harris reviewed the plan, dated July 11 , 1978, which
was composed of a 15,000 square foot office building with 50. parking spaces
and a 4,751 square foot bank with 112 parking spaces. He then distributed
a traffic impact study prepared by Alan M. Voorhees & Associates and dated
July 1978. He said there will be a cut in the median strip of Lake Cook Road
to service their entrance drive.
Ron Helms, landscape architect, reviewed the landscape plans.
While discussing the plan, Mr. Harris referred to a dotted
line indicating a future expansion to the bank of approximately 3,000 square
feet. There became some confusion on whether approving the plan would also
be approving the future expansion. Mr. Miller requested time to contact the
architect.

RECESS President Fabish declared a recess at 10: 15 P.M. The
meeting resumed at 10:30 P.M. Trustee Kandel was no longer
present.
HARRIS RESUB- The developer's engineer reviewed the engineering plans.
DIVISION (CONT.) There will be two detention ponds in the southeast portion
of the property which more than meets MSD requirements.
There will be no storm water detention in the parking lot.
Entrances to the development are in accordance with County suggestions. He
felt the plan will improve the drainage for the single family residences to
the east.
In response to questions, Mr. Harris stated he is
requesting a change in plan because B-3 zoning is a Planned Business District
and they do not intend to build the previously approved plan.
The Board then reviewed the Subdivision Improvement
Agreement.
President Fabish polled the Board to determine when the cost
of th.e construction of the 20" water main should be paid. The poll found that
the Board unanimously favored payment at the time of issuance of building
permits. Paragraph 8 of the S. I .A. will be changed to reflect this decision.
Upon advise of the Village Attorney, it was decided that the
bond and fees be based on public improvements only.
Moved by Mendenhall , seconded by Stone to approve the site
plan and plat of resubdivision of Harris Resubdivision subject to Mr. Boysen 's
memo, dated October 12, 1978, as revised, subject to Plan Commission Exhibits
7-11-4 and 7-11-10, and with the stipulation that the bank building will be
4,751 square feet. Upon roll call , the vote was:
AYES: 4 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall

ABSENT: 2 - Bogart, Kandel
Motion declared carried.
1978 SIDEWALK & The Board reviewed bids received on the 1978 Sidewalk,
CURB PROGRAM Curb and Gutter Removal and Replacement Program which is
a M.F.T. project. Trustee Rech asked if the Park District
was asked to participate in the cost of a sidewalk along Raupp Boulevard in
front of their property. Mr. Sommer stated that Stan Crosland, Director of
Parks and Recreation, has advised that they will be unable to participate.
After discussion, it was decided to install the sidewalk and bill the Park
District.
Moved by Rech, seconded by Marienthal to accept the lowest
qualified bid from D'Addosio Construction Company and award the contract for
the 1978 Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Program to them in an amount not to exceed
$23,028, and to authorize additional sidewalk installation per staff
