President Clayton explained that this item concerns zoning CHESTERFIELD • application to B-2 and 0/R, subject to plan of development, 29 Acres NE for the 29 acre parcel located on the northeast corner of Corner of Lake- Lake-Cook and Arlington Heights Roads. Plan Commission Cook and Arlington referral of this item is requested. Heights Roads Mr. Zaltzman referred to his letter of August 13, 1980 to Mr. Balling. Trustee O' Reilly stated that she is concerned with this item in its present form. She feels that the agreement is too "loose". She agrees with it remaining under 6 acres for the commercial , and she wholeheartedly endorses the office/industrial area , but she feels the Village would be giving up too many rights if the Board refers this to the Plan Commission without any restrictions on the commercial use. Mr. Balling discussed the contents of Mr. Zaltzman 's letter to him of August 13, 1980, and his reply to Mr. Zaltzman on August 14, 1980. Discussion followed. Mr. Fiorito discussed his reasons for asking for B-2 zoning rather than B-3. It was stated that this piece of property is very important to the Village, since it is the first view of the Village to those travelling eastbound on Lake-Cook Road. Mr. Lunt stated that he cannot possibly have a plan for this parcel in the immediate future, but he said that he could assure the Board that there would be nothing in it that would violate B-2 zoning. Mr. Balling stated that this process would be similar to the Buffalo Grove Industrial Park, where the plan does not depict buildings , but designates lots. Trustee Marienthal moved to refer to the Plan Commission 24 acres of the subject property to be considered for 0/R development, with the Plan Commission to review the settlement agreement dated December 6, 1976, to review page 2 and page 3 of that particular agreement, and that the developer within a 30 day period of time present before the Board a plan for traffic flow, internal and external , of the 5.748 acres of subject property to be considered B-2, with the hope that at that time an architectural scheme can be presented along with possibly a prospective user. Trustee Stone seconded this motion. 5731 9/2/80 Mr. Zaltzman said that he wants both parts of the property to be presented to the Plan Commission at the same time. He does not think it is fair to penalize him when he is trying to cooperate with the Village. Upon roll call , Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 2 - Marienthal , Stone NAYES: 4 - O 'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt, Gerschefske Motion failed. It was stated that there should be certain restrictions if a B-2 parcel is referred to the Plan Commission. Mr. Fiorito stated his objections to this, citing that he could have problems with a lender if there were restric- tions on the property. Trustee Stone stated that he did not feel he could vote for this referral unless there was some assurance that there would not be a grocery store built on that corner, either now or in the future. Trustee O 'Reilly moved that the Board refer to the Plan Commission the 29.748 acres located at the northeast corner of Arlington Heights and Lake-Cook Roads for B-2 and 0/R zoning subject to receipt of detailed plans within 30 days , with Plan Commission consideration of restriction of large food/drug complex on the B-2 parcel . Trustee Hartstein seconded the motion. Upon roll call , Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 4 - Stone, O 'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt NAYES: 2 - Marienthal , Gerschefske Motion declared carried. Trustee O 'Reilly moved to consider a 9 month extension in CHESTERFIELD contingent zoning for the property at the northeast corner Zoning Extension of Arlington Heights and Lake-Cook Roads to permit the re- zoning application review. Trustee Hartstein seconded the motion. Upon roll call , Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 5 - Marienthal , Stone, O 'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt NAYES: 1 - Gerschefske Motion declared carried.

Dis- CENTER �./ cussion then followed regarding the contents of the staff report to the President and Board of Trustees dated August 27, 1980. Mr. Burton Chotiner stated that the Hospital feels it is important to have a sign on the corner of Lake-Cook and Weiland Roads , since the entrance is not on that corner. Mr. Raysa stated that this annexation is pursuant to the provisions of Section 7-1-8 of Chapter 24 of the Illinois Revised Statutes and the representative of the developer agreed. 5732 9/2/80 Upon roll call , Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 6 - Marienthal , Stone, O' Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt , Gerschefske NAYES: 0 - None Motion declared carried.
