Trustee Bogart said his negative vote was a protest
vote because of the way the Lake County Board has been treating the Village.
Trustee Rech said that if they receive their grant and
implement resource recovery, it will help Buffalo Grove in many ways, one of
which would be reduction in hauling time of solid waste.
FLOOD CONTROL Trustee Rech reported that the Flood Control Committee
COMMITTEE should complete their study of a Soil Erosion Control
Ordinance this month. She asked input from staff and
the Village Attorney about whether this should be an
amendment to the Subdivision Regulations or to the Zoning Ordinance, of if
it should be a separate ordinance. Mr. Boysen said he would prefer a general
ordinance that would be binding on all property. Trustee Rech asked if a
public hearing would be required. Mr. Balling said he would get the Attorney's
opinion and forward it to the Board.
GREEN KNOLLS In response to a question from Trustee Rech , Mr. Balling
stated that he had received a request from the developer
to sell 80 fully improved subdivided lots in Green Knolls
to Poulty Homes. Status of the subdivision improvements and bonding would not
change because Mr. Green would be liable for them. He said an appearance
review would be required.
BUSINESS ZONING Because there are subdivisions in a business zoning
DISTRICTS district which have been dormant for years, Trustee Rech
suggested that zoning classifications be changed so that
B-1 , B-2, and B-3 would have to be reviewed by the Plan
Commission and the Village Board prior to approval .
After discussion, President Fabish polled the Board,
"Yes" indicating favor of staff proceeding to draft language to accomplish
this suggestion, and "No" indicating opposition. The poll found the following:
YES: 4 - Rech, Bogart, Marienthal , Stone
NO: 0 - None
ABSENT: 2 - Mendenhall , Kandel
INDIAN TRAILS Trustee Marienthal stated that the Indian Trails Library
LIBRARY District plans to build a new building (using operational
funds) even though their referendum failed. He did not
feel this is in the best interest of the people in the
district. He asked if the Board would like to take a position on this
matter.
The other Trustees present felt that because the Library
Board members are duly elected, they should spend their funds as they see fit.
If the people in the district oppose this, they should become vocal . They
did not feel the Board should take a position.
FRANKLIN Trustee Marienthal referred to a recent news article in
BOULEVARD which the Village President of Wheeling was quoted as
HOSPITAL saying he did not know whether he would want the Wheeling/
Buffalo Grove Hospital (Franklin Boulevard) built in the
5332
12/4/78
unincorporated area of Cook County or in Wheeling where they could regulate
it. He noted that at the recent meeting with Wheeling and Prospect Heights ,
it was stated that a full service hospital was not needed in this area. He
suggested that the resolution opposing the hospital be placed on the next
regular meeting agenda so that it can be acted upon and transmitted to the
Village of Wheeling as soon as possible. The Board concurred with this
suggestion.
ADJOURNMENT Moved by Bogart, seconded by Marienthal to adjourn the
wgwod meeting. Upon voice vote, the motion passed unanimously.
