ACTIVITIES October 1978 was noted.
REPORT
BANK & Mr. Balling stated that Burton Harris , developer, has requested
EXECUTIVE clarification of Board action with regard to the bank and
OFFICE executive office building southeast of Lake Cook and Arlington
BUILDING Heights Roads. The minutes of the meeting of October 16,
Lake Cook & 1978, reflect that the developer is to pay the cost of the
Arlington 20" water main to the center line of Lake Cook Road, but
Heights Roads) Mr. Harris feels it should have been along his property line
only. This fee is to be paid at the time building permits
are issued, but since the office building permit has been
requested now, and the bank building permit will not be requested until next
spring, Mr. Harris has requested that the fee be paid at the time the bank
building permit is issued.
It was noted that all developments have been considered to
the centerline of the road; therefore, this development will be considered in
the same manner. It was further decided that the cost of the 20" water main
will be prorated based on percentage of ownership; therefore, Mr. Harris will
pay his portion when the building permit is issued for the office building,
and the bank will pay their portion when their building permit is issued.
HERITAGE PLACE Mr. Balling stated that on November 13, in workshop, the
UNIT III "illage Board approved a final plan in concept with regard
to building layouts for Heritage Place Unit III . On November
15, the Plan Commission concurred with the concept. He said
the developer has requested immediate authority to pour foundation slabs in
advance of necessary plat amendments regarding easements and the Appearance
Commission review. In consideration for this, the developer has agreed to
deposit with the Village a $5,000 per building cash escrow or letter of credit
to remove the foundation slabs should they not conform with the required
documentation and approvals which would be obtained on December 4. He said
the developer has made this request in order to get the foundation slabs
installed before winter.
Moved by Mendenhall , seconded by Kandel to approve pouring
of foundation slabs for Heritage Place Unit III in advance of Appearance
approvals and plat amendments with respect to easements and subject to the
following conditions:
1 . A $5,000 per building foundation letter of credit or cash
escrow be posted to be used to remove any foundation installed which is not

5319
11/20/78
Trustee Rech spoke against the motion because this is the
first time the Village has applied for this type of grant, and she would like
to have it reviewed to determine if the application was done properly. She
also felt it might be possible to revise the application to acquire a portion
of the property. Since part of the property is in flood plain, she felt it was
important to preserve any portion of it. President Fabish stated that the
Village has two ordinances, the Flood Plain Ordinance and the Storm Water
Detention Ordinance, that would handle any problems connected with the flood
plain. He also noted that the Village could not go for the grant since there
would be no funding for the Village's portion.

PARKING/RVs & Trustee Mendenhall stated that at last week's workshop meeting,
COMMERCIAL a lengthy discussion and review took place regarding a proposed
VEHICLES amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to restrict the parking of
RVs and commercial vehicles in a residential neighborhood.
He then asked Mr. Raysa to comment on handling derelict vehicles
and selective enforcement.
Mr. Raysa stated that the Village has adopted the Illinois
Vehicle Code which provides that a vehicle abandoned for seven days would be
derelict, but Statutes state that if the abandoned vehicle is owned by the owner
of the property upon which it is parked, it is not a violation of Statute. He
felt derelict vehicles could be handled on a complaint basis by using the
existing Nuisance Ordinance.
President Fabish polled the Board to determine if they wished
to leave the ordinance regarding parking as it now stands and handle the situa-
tion as described by Mr. Raysa, or if they wish to revise the ordinance. The
poll found the following:
PRESENT ORDINANCE 0 - None
REVISE ORDINANCE - 4 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Kandel
ABSTAIN: 1 - Mendenhall
Lengthy discussion and review of the proposed amendment to
the Zoning Ordinance regarding parking took place with the following changes
considered:
1 . Section 3.8 - Should include all residential zoning
districts but provision should be made in multi-family districts that RVs may
be parked in area of parking lot that has been properly screened.
5321
11/20/78
2. Section 3.8-1 - Maximum length of 18' and maximum height
should be analyzed with the intent being to exempt all vans. Snowmobiles should
be included.
3. Section 3.8-3 - Fee should be cost of administration only,
and it should be a one time fee.
4. Six Month Permit - Most Board members felt this provision
would be difficult to administer.
5. Section 3.8-3 "dust of proof surface", parking
should be on hard surface of a material compatible with driveway.
At this point, it was decided that consideration of this
proposed ordinance would be continued at next week's workshop meeting.
RECESS There was a recess from 10: 10 P.M. until 10:30 P.M.
HENDERSONS Mr. Boysen reviewed his memo, dated November 16, 1978,
PLAT OF recommending engineering approval of Hendersons Subdivision
SUBDIVISION (Steeple View Condominiums) subject to ten items. He said that
(Steeple View) upon recommendation of the Plan Commission and advice of the
Village Attorney, this plat was revised to be a one lot
subdivision. He said also required would be an off-site
easement for sanitary sewer.
Plan Commissioner James Button stated that all Plan Commission
concerns have been addressed.
Moved by Kandel , seconded by Mendenhall to approve the final
plat of subdivision for Hendersons Subdivision Unit I pending engineering
approval , and the Park District is satisfied with their negotiations with Mr.
Henderson (developer), and to approve the plat of easement for sanitary sewer.
In reponse to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Balling stated
nothing will be deeded to the Park District in this subdivision, but approximately
8/10 of an acre will be credited. There is a cash contribution to the Park District,
in the amount of 36,750, payable on a per unit basis.
It was noted that the number of bedrooms have been decreased.
Mr. Balling stated that the school contribution will be recalculated based on
*Correction the new numbers. *In response to a question from Trustee Rech, the developer stated
that all one bedroom apartments have been eliminated and replaced with two bedroom
units .
In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Boysen stated
that the access easement for the bike path is shown on the plat and the bike
path is shown on the engineering drawings.
Upon roll call , the vote was :
AYES: 5 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
NAPES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Bogart
Motion declared carried.

11/20/78
CANDLEWOOD CREEK Plan Commissioner James Button stated that the Commission has
PLAT OF SUB- recommended approval of the final plat of subdivision for
DIVISION Candlewood Creek East.
Mr. Boysen reviewed his memo, dated November 14, 1978,
recommending engineering approval for the Candlewood Creek East subdivision
subject to six items. He also reviewed his memo, dated November 16, 1978,
recommending approval of a plat of dedication for the off-site portion of
Pauline Avenue.
Moved by Kandel , seconded by Marienthal to approve the
final plat of subdivision for Candlewood Creek East and the plat of dedication
for the off-site portion of Pauline Avenue pending final engineering approval .
In response to a question from Mr. Balling, David Addis,
attorney for the developer, stated that Outlot A will be conveyed to the
property owner to the south.
In response to a question from Mr. Raysa, Mr. Balling stated
that the open space area can be expanded to include the portion of Carman Avenue
which is to be vacated. The concept is to combine Lot 14, Lot 26, the Common-
wealth Edison r.o.w. , and vacated Carman Avenue in an attempt to create a lineal
park. The Park Board is reviewing this concept. A 100% cash contribution is
in addition to this dedication. Mr. Addis stated that upon request, the owner

Upon roll call , the vote was:
AYES: 5 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Bogart
Motion declared carried.
WILLIAMSBURG ON President Fabish stated that at the workshop meeting of
THE LAKE/LAND USE November 13 the Board reviewed the recommendation of the Plan
Commission to consider a combination of multiple and single
family housing for the Williamsburg on the Lake development
li (Southeast corner of Checker and Arlington Heights Road). He
said the consensus of those Board members present seemed to be in favor of single
family for that property.
Trustee Kandel felt that in the best interest of the Village,
from the standpoint of economics and the Master Plan, the recommendation of the
Plan Commission should be considered. He felt that development of other condo-
minium projects have brought no harm to the Village or to property abutting
` those projects. He found nothing wrong with building condominiums south of the
�•/ creek.
Trustee Marienthal suggested that the developer consider
single family on the north side of the creek and on the east side south of the
creek (abutting the golf course) and multi-family for the remaining.
Howard Harris, attorney representing the developer, reviewed
the history of this property and stated that at the request of the Village
Board, the developer has expended funds to prepare a single family plan for
this land. He said they would like to have the opportunity to show these plans

to the Plan Commission at public hearing and convince them that a single family
development would be best for this property.
President Fabish polled the Board to determine their preference
of land use for the subject property. The poll found the following:
Rech - abstain because she felt open space is best alternative
for that land
Marienthal - mix of single and multi-family
Stone - multi-family
Mendenhall - large single family homes on large lots
Kandel - multi-family
Mr. Raysa stated that if the developer wants a public hearing
with the Plan Commission, he may have it. He noted that the developer now knows
the feeling of the Village Board. Mr. Harris stated the developer wishes a public
hearing on the single family plan. Mr. Balling stated he would instruct the
Plan Commission to do so.
Trustee Mendenhall felt the natural features of the land should
be preserved, and if it is necessary to provide off-site detention in the M.S.D.
reservoir on the west side of Arlington Heights Road (which has been suggested) ,
it should be considered.
Trustee Rech stated that the Storm Water Detention Ordinance
and the Flood Plain Ordinance require that detention/retention be provided on
site. She said it is not necessary to drain the property directly into the
creek. She felt other detention on site should be provided. She doubted that
the M.S.D. would permit their reservoir to be used for detention for this site.
President Fabish polled the Board, "Yes" indicating favor
of pursuing information for off-site retention for this property, and "No"
indicating opposition. The poll found the following:
YES: 3 - Marienthal , Mendenhall , Kandel
NO: 2 - Rech, Stone
Trustee Mendenhall stated that if retention is on site,
they should not scoop out the creek.
STRATHMORE Bradley Olsen, attorney representing seven property owners
SHOPPING PLAZA/ adjacent to the commercial development at the southeast corner
EARLY LEARNING of Arlington Heights Road and Route 83, reviewed his letter,
CENTER dated November 16, 1978, which outlined complaints and concerns
regarding the commercial development and the Appearance
Commission recommendations. Since the development contains
the Strathmore Shopping Plaza and the Early Learning Center,
it was decided to discuss each separately.
Regarding the shopping plaza, the Appearance Commission
recommendation addressed most of the concerns of the homeowners, but still
unresolved were 1) installation of a fence gate between the retaining wall
on the south side of the property and the existing fence on the adjacent property
5324
11/20/78
to prevent the buffer strip from becoming a means of access to the shopping
center, 2) trees on the south side of the property should be 31" caliper
instead of 21", 3) use of English Oak instead of Pin Oak trees, and 4) grouping
of evergreens should be planted on the southwest corner of the property in a
location that would screen the lights from cars turning into the southern
entrance.
Don Hardt, Chairman of the Appearance Commission, stated that
there will be a "no left turn" for southbound traffic on Arlington Heights Road;
therefore, there should be no problem with lights shining into the homes. Mr.
Olsen said there is no guarantee that the "no left turn" requirement will go
into effect. Mr. Hardt said the 7' fence is the full extent of the parking area
which would prevent lights from shining into the homes.
Mr. Hardt stated that the trees are an aesthetic item and not
to be considered screening because the fence is the screen. He said 32" caliper
trees would not screen much more than the 21" trees.
Mr. Hardt said the Commission did not feel the developer
should have to bear the expense of the requested gate because the "pathway"
created between the retaining wall and the fence was at the request of the
homeowners. Mr. Olsen said the homeowners could not put up the gate because
it would not be on their property.
Mr. Conrardy of Prudential Realty, the developer, 1) agreed
to the 7' fence, 2) agreed to the gate if required, 3) preferred 21" trees
because of the parking, and 4) agreed to landscape the southwest corner if
required.
President Fabish polled the Board with regard to size of trees.
The poll found the following:
22" - 5 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
32" - O - None
President Fabish polled the Board with regard to species of
tree to be used. The poll found the following:
PIN OAK - 4 - Rech, Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
ENGLISH OAK - 1 - Marienthal
Mr. Conrardy stated that some of the businesses that have
leased shops would like to open, but occupancy permits cannot be issued at
this time. He then requested temporary occupancy permits. Mr. Balling stated
the drainage swale has to be done properly before occupancy. Mr. Conrardy said
the swale could not be installed until the landscaping was done. After discussion,
it was decided that temporary occupancy permits would be issued to one half of
the stores in the center, provided that the developer post a bond or letter of
II credit with the Village to insure that the fence, landscaping, trees, and sod
are installed.
5325
11/20/78
In response to a question from Mr. Boysen, Mr. Conrardy stated
that the street light at Alden Lane and Arlington Heights Road will be fixed.
Moved by Marienthal , seconded by Mendenhall to accept the
Appearance Commission recommendation to approve the landscape plan, dated
October 25, 1978, with the following exceptions: 1 ) additional landscape
treatment at the southwest corner of the property, 2) additional fence gate
at the southeast corner of the shopping center (approximately the middle of the
south property line) in close proximity of the lot line of the Early Learning
�•/ Center with the intent to connect at the homeowners fence, 3) the fence on
the east property line (approximately by the Early Learning Center/Prudential
lot line) would be brought inward on the Prudential site to follow the rear
yard line of 1111 Belmar, 4) caliper of the trees on the south property line
will be 21". Upon roll call , the vote was :
AYES: 5 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
NAYES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Bogart
Motion declared carried.
SANTORO PROPERTY Salvatore Santoro, owner of property located northwest of
(LAKE COOK & Lake Cook Road and Route 83, reviewed his letter, dated
ROUTE 83) October 8, 1978, requesting an extension of the B-2 zoning
on 2. 1 acres of his property. The remaining portion of his
property is permanently zoned B-2 with special use permit for
a service station. Mr. Santoro stated that he has sent a letter
to the Village stating that the 2. 1 acres will be zoned B-5 which requires a plan.
Since a plan has not been prepared, he cannot petition for B-5 zoning yet. But
the annexation agreement would expire on December 1 if not extended, which in
effect would revert the zoning to R-1 .
Moved by Kandel , seconded by Stone to extend the B-2 zoning
on Mr. Santoro's property contingent upon the fact that a letter was written
by the petitioner expressing his desire to convert to B-5 when a plan has been
developed, said extension to be to the date that the annexation agreement would
be 10 years old. Upon roll call , the vote was :
AYES: 2 - Stone, Kandel
NAPES: 3 - Rech, Marienthal , Mendenhall
ABSENT: 1 - Bogart
Motion failed.
Moved by Stone, seconded by Mendenhall to extend the B-2
zoning on Mr. Santoro's property for a six month period with the stipulation
that Mr. Santoro must show proof that he has worked with the other owners of
property in the Town Center. Upon roll call , the vote was:
AYES: 5 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
NAPES: 0 - None
ABSENT: 1 - Bogart
Motion declared carried.

STRATHMORE Bradley Olsen continued his presentation about homeowners
SHOPPING PLAZA/ complaints and concerns of the commercial development at the
EARLY LEARNING southeast corner of Arlington Heights Road and Route 83 as
CENTER (Continued)outlined in his letter of November 16, 1978. Attention now
focused on the Early Learning Center.
Mr. Olsen said the Appearance Commission approved a plan for
screening the roof-top apparatus with access openings to meet the requirements
`./ of the Fire Marshall . Later the homeowner's consulting engineer evaluated this
plan with regard to line of sight and found the homeowners would have an un-
obstructed view of the apparatus. He suggested the apparatus be screened on
all sides with a removeable panel for Fire Department access. After discussion,
a polling of the Board found them unanimously in favor of the alternate plan
suggested by Mr. Olsen.
Mr. Olsen stated that previously the Village Board required
that the fence on the east be 12 ' inside the property line to provide a buffer
for the homeowners, but the plan approved was a 6' stockade fence on the property
line with a cyclone fence 12 ' inside. Because of the elevation of the land,
the 6' fence provides no screening for the homeowners. He felt the owner of
The Early Learning Center should be required 1) to place the 6' fence 12 ' inside
the east and south property line with the bottom of the fence being the same
elevation as the finished floor elevation of the Center, 2) to berm the south
and east property line, and 3) to landscape between the top of the timber tie
retaining wall and the fence.
After discussion, the Board agreed that the bottom of the
fence should start at the finished floor elevation of the Early Learning Center.
With regard to the requested berming, there was some concern
of its effect on drainage; therefore, it was felt the Village Engineer should
review the matter, and if there would be no detrimental effect on drainage,
the berm should be required.
Mr. Olsen requested that a fence gate, similar to the one
approved earlier this evening, be required at the southea
st corner to prevent
access to the commercial area from that point. After discussion, President
Fabish polled the Board, "Yes" indicating favor of the second fence gate, and
"No" indicating opposition. The poll found the following:
/147:r1'1 1 - Kandel
U :s: e 4 - Rech, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall
Trustees Mendenhall and Marienthal stated the reason they
voted yes was because they feared the homeowners would erect fences thus creating
an area between the two fences that would be difficult to maintain.
After discussion, it was decided that some alternative to sod
should be considered for the area between the fence and the property line so
that it would require little maintenance.
