4. Village President's Report
Next Meeting
President Fabish announced that there will be no meeting on July 25, 1977.
Due to vacations, a quorum cannot be achieved.
Teen Center
Trustee Bogart reviewed his report, dated July 15, 1977, regarding the possibility
of establishing a Teen Center for the Village. He said that two buildings are
available to be moved to the site behind Village Hall approved for this use. He
then reviewed a report, dated July 14, 1977, from Peter Digre, Executive Director
of Omni-House, agreeing to staff the center. He noted Police Chief Walsh 's report,
dated July 15, 1977, intimating that he could accept a Teen Center and that
probably it was a good idea.
Trustee Bogart said approximate cost to move and refurbish the Brighton Krug
house (1 ,100 sq. ft.) would be $11 ,000 and the Leisure Technology building
(4,500 sq. ft.) would be $70,000. Leon Gopon, President of the Buffalo Grove
Jaycees, said that the Jaycees have voted to 1) sponsor a Teen Center, 2) donate
manpower, and 3) commit $3,000 for the project if the center is started this
year. Further financial support would be on a year-to-year basis. John Shriner,
Division of Public Affairs Manager for Allstate Insurance, said that Allstate
feels a teen center in Buffalo Grove is a worthwhile project and are willing
to offer support to it through the Buffalo Grove Jaycees or Omni-House. Barbara
Sheldon, representing the Buffalo Grove Junior Women 's Club executive council ,
said her group is willing to support the Teen Center.
Trustee Bogart said the major problem at this time is funding to move either
one of these buildings. Outside funding will be for programing. He offered
the following alternatives, 1) limited pilot program in the smaller building,
or 2) complete the larger building in modules.
President Fabish polled the Board, "Yes" indicating support of the idea of a
Teen Center, and "No" indicating opposition. The poll found the following:
YES: 6 - Rech, Bogart, Marienthal , Keister, Stone, Mendenhall
NO: 0 - None
During the lengthy discussion the following points were made: 1) it would
be more desirable to have established programs, thus showing need for center,
2) Omni-House may have to abandon existing programs in order to staff the
center, 3) fund program and use existing facilities to see if youth accept it,
4) additional funds could be raised from the community.
Dick Lapham, President of the Buffalo Grove Park District, said they could
re-evaluate the use of their buildings to determine if there were a way to
accommodate a Teen Center. He suggested that communities with successful
Teen Centers be contacted to determine why their centers were successful .
Trustee Marienthal suggested that a committee be formed consisting of
representatives from the Village Board, Omni-House, Park District, school
personnel , youth, and parents to work out the details of the project. He
noted that the Public Service Center is not used in the evening, and suggested
that the staff investigate the possibility of utilizing certain rooms for this
purpose.
5019
7/18/77
Trustee Bogart said a Teen Center has been discussed by committees for seven
years. He said the time for obtaining a building is now, and programing is the
responsibility of the agency hired for that purpose. Bob Cole, 76 Bernard
Drive, felt it is necessary to have a physical building with youth involvement
in order to assure a successful program.
Trustee Rech did not feel there has been a concentrated effort to coordinate
the various groups involved with youth and felt that Trustee Marienthal s
suggestion should be implemented. She suggested that the farm house at The
Crossings or one of the schools be used for the center as an interim solution.
She did not feel all alternative buildings had been explored. Discussion
followed.
President Fabish polled the Board, "Yes" indicating favor of obtaining one
of the buildings available, and "No" indicating opposition. The poll found
the following:
YES: 2 - Bogart, Stone
NO: 4 - Rech, Marienthal , Keister, Mendenhall
Trustee Stone qualified his vote by stating he preferred alternatives be
investigated before final decision is made.
Trustee Bogart stated that he will do more research and report to the Board
as soon as possible.
5. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
Falcon Development/Public Hearing
President Fabish called the public hearing to order at 8:50 P.M. He then
read the Notice of Public Hearing that appeared in the Buffalo Grove Herald
on July 2, 1977. Subject of the hearing is a petition for annexation and R-5
zoning and preliminary plan approval of 48.9 acres located on the southwest
corner of Arlington Heights Road and Nichols Road 1 ,600+ feet north of Dundee
Road. Applicant is Falcon Development Company, Inc.
President Fabish swore in the following people who were present to give
testimony: Philip Grossman, Attorney; Al Uman of Toups Corporation; John
Kinley of .Toups Corporation; and Jerry Falcon, President of Falcon Development.
Mr. Falcon noted that at the Board meeting of June 27, 1977, a polling of the
Board found them unanimously in favor of a change in the previously presented
plan of development and R-5 zoning. Subsequent to that meeting, the plan
presented on June 27 (Exhibit B - plan of development) was resubmitted for
staff review. Staff input was presented at the Plan Commission meeting of
July 13. At this meeting there was unanimous approval of the plan as revised
predicated on plan of development that takes into consideration R-5 zoning and
meets all requirements of that zoning. The revised annexation agreement has
been reviewed by the Village Attorney and Mr. Grossman. Revisions to the
agreement bring it into conformity with R-5 zoning. He then reviewed the plan
of development that was approved by the Plan Commission. He said preliminary
engineering plans have been submitted to the staff.
Mr. Falcon requested approval of the annexation agreement as amended to conform
with the new plan of development and R-5 zoning, approval of the annexation of
the property, and approval of R-5 zoning. He said the Park District donation
will be 3.2 acres of land and $10,005 cash, the elementary district will be
$58,905, and the high school district will be $27,400.

7/18/77
Trustee Marienthal noted that the length of the two cul de sacs are in excess
of Village requirements which will require a variance. He said the Fire Depart-
ment has approved this with the stipulation that fire hydrants be placed every
300 feet along the cul de sacs and throughout the development. The Police
Department has found no problem with the cul de sacs. Mr. Falcon said the
pavement width is per Village requirements; therefore,thore will be no problem
with turn around. He said the Village requires fire hydrants to be every 400
feet, but during engineering review of the cul de sacs only, it was required
that the developer comply with one every 300 feet. Mr. Falcon requested that
�.! the variance be granted.
President Fabish polled the Board, "Yes" indicating favor of granting the
variance for length of cul de sacs, and "No" indicating opposition. The poll
found the following:
YES: 6 - Rech, Bogart, Marienthal , Keister, Stone, Mendenhall
NO: 0 - None
In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Falcon said the school and
park donations were altered with the change in plan. The Park District and
School District have responded that the numbers are correct, and the developer
has agreed to co-ordinate and work with the Park District regarding drainage
of their site. The walk-way through the park site will be laid out and designed
based on the Park District's plan for the site.
The Board reviewed the annexation agreement, and the following changes were
agreed to:
1 . Page 4 - Change first sentence to read "The Developer shall , at its
sole cost and expense, install a not greater than ten inch (10")
sewer line together with a not greater than twelve inch (12") water
line. . . . .. ."
2. Page 9 - Add Paragraph 31 to provide that fire hydrants will be provided
every 300 feet in the two cul de sacs.
3. On the plat of annexation and on the plan of development, Arlington
Heights Road and Nichols Road will be shown as "Hereby dedicated".
In response to a question from Trustee Bogart, Mr. Falcon said that presently
he plans to develop the parcel , but he may have to sell a piece of it in the
future.
President Fabish closed the public hearing at 9:20 P.M.
Ridgewood Public Hearing
President Fabish called the public hearing to order at 9:21 P.M. He then
read the Notice of Public Hearing that appeared in the Buffalo Grove Herald
on July 2, 1977. Subject of the hearing is a petition for consideration of
modification of the site plan for the Ridgewood subdivision. Applicant is
Robert Fogarty of Centex Homes of Illinois.
President Fabish swore in the following people who were present to give
testimony: Robert Fogarty, Vice President of Centex Homes of Illinois, Tim
Thom, Project Manager of Ridgewood, and Fred Feinstein, attorney.
5021
7/18/77
Mr. Fogarty explained that the site plan modification is for 7 acres of land
that lies in the northeast section of a 127 acre site plan that was approved
in 1972. The original plan for this section was for 54 duplex lots. Six weeks
ago at a Plan Commission workshop, Mr. Fogarty presented two alternate plans
for this section, one for 58 townhouses and one for 26 single family units.
The Plan Commission felt the townhouse plan was a better plan. At a subsequent
public hearing, a 54 townhouse plan was presented that received a recommendation
for approval . Because of large number of nearby homeowners ' complaints, a single
family plan, consisting of 26 units, was approved at a subsequent meeting. Mr.
Fogarty reviewed the single family plan approved by the Plan Commission
Mr. Fogarty said the area was annexed under R-9 zoning with a special use. All
lots fall within the minimum lot size required under this zoning which reverts
back to R-6 zoning. During the Plan Commission hearing, it was requested that
this property revert back to R-5 zoning. Mr. Fogarty did not want to do this
because it would prohibit placing the best selling model on half of the lots.
1
Mr. Fogarty agreed that water tap on fees for this property would be increased
to $440.
Plan Commissioner Burton Harris said the Plan Commission recommended the single
family plan; but, it was stated at the Commission meeting that Centex would
adhere to the R-5 zoning requirements. Mr. Fogarty said that when he agreed to
that, he was not aware that the yard requirements had been increased. He said
the annexation agreement allows 30' rear yards which is consistent with the
present development.
Commissioner Harris said the Plan Commission was concerned with existing
utilities. Mr. McCoy said that some may have to be moved, but Centex is aware
of that.
William Kiddie, Park District Commissioner, reviewed his memo, dated July 17,
1977, requesting the developer to agree to 1) grade and seed all public use
areas, 2) follow standards in Resolution #72-35, 3) construct bikepaths and
walkways to standard, and 4) dedicate land that is free and clear of back taxes.
Edward Finke, 385 Hazelwood Terrace, presented a petition bearing 56 signatures
of Ridgewood townhome owners, requesting the Board to approve the single family
plan rather than the townhouse plan.
Mr. Feinstein stated that the developer will abide by the contractural
obligations of the annexation agreement. He said the agreement specifically
refers to Resolution #72-35, and acknowledges that all donations made will be
in satisfaction and compliance with the resolution. He said they intend to
comply with Resolution #72-35.
Mr. Kiddie said the original plan showed an 11 ,000 sq. ft. tot lot, but the
proposed plan shows less than 10,000 sq. ft.
In response to questions, Mr. Fogarty said it would not be impossible to
develop this parcel in the R-5 category, but it would eliminate from their
product line their best selling model . He noted that the rear yard for this
model would be between 30 ' and 35' . He said they do not plan to build this
model on every lot, but they would like the flexibility of placing the model
on various lots.
5022
7/18/77
Trustee Keister stated that the Board has been advocating R-5 zoning and at
the same time increased the yard requirements. He said this developer is
trying to meet the desires of the existing residents, and he did not see a
problem with the rear yard being 2 ' less.
In response to questions, Mr. Fogarty said none of the areas to be dedicated
have been reduced. Mr. McCoy said this development has more open space than
any other development in the Village. Mr. Raysa said the developer is bound
by Resolution#72-35 which provides that the land donation must be suitable
�./ for recreation purposes. Trustee Bogart said he wants the developer to abide
by the current standards attached to Resolution #72-35. Mr. Feinstein said
that if the tot lot size has been reduced, it is less than 2,000 sq. ft. , and
if it does occur, it was because of the change in configuration necessary to
change from high to low density. Mr. Fogarty confirmed his commitment made
at the Plan Commission meeting which was "the tot lot size will remain the
same and would be conveyed to the Village".
Mr. Fogarty said that land donated to the Park District would be graded and
seeded. Mr. Feinstein said grading and seeding have never been an issue because
the developer has agreed to comply with Resolution #72-35 which requires it.
Trustee Mendenhall stated that the proposed plan has less people and less
buildings but the same amount of open space as the original plan. He felt the
developer is meeting the Village requirements.
President Fabish closed the public hearing. Time: 10:00 P.M.

Crossings Park Site
Trustee Rech stated that the buildings on the Crossing park site are
scheduled for demolition. She said the silo is 50 years old, well constructed,
and in good condition. She requested that the Park District preserve this
heritage landmark and asked the Board to concur with her request.
Dick Lapham, President of the Buffalo Grove Park District, felt that his
Board would reconsider and work with the Village to save the silo. Commissioner
Kiddle requested that this not interfer with grading and seeding of the site and
installation of the bike path. Mr. Balling said that following the demolition ,
the other projects will begin.

5024
7/18/77
1) extend the route to serve Northwest Commun'ty Hos 'tal , Harper College,
Woodfield Mall , and industrial area an ahanf route in the Village.
Genevieve Platt of the Arlington Heights Planning Department read a statement
from the Village of Arlington Heights, dated July 18, 1977, requesting that
Route 690 be extended south to Golf Road to connect with Route 209 for those
passengers to be able to travel on to Harper College and Woodfield.
In response to questions from Ms. Platt, Mr. Luisada said the bus stops at
any corner. The bus fare will be determined by the RTA, but the committee is
recommending some type of zone fare.
In response to a question from Trustee Mendenhall , Mr. Goldspiel said it is
impossible, under thepresent fare structure, for the bus route to payfor
P �
itself. He noted that as fares increase, there would be a loss in ridership.
Travel time to Woodfield will be approximately 50 minutes.
In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Goldspiel said that the
proposal is at no cost to the Village.
Moved by Rech, seconded by Mendenhall to accept the Transportation Committee's
recommendation regarding extension of Route 690 as proposed. Upon roll call ,
the vote was:
AYES: 6 - Rech, Bogart, Marienthal , Keister, Stone, Mendenhall
NAYES: 0 - None
Motion declared carried.
President Fabish thanked Mr. Goldspiel and Mr. Luisada for their excellent
work.
Speaking to Ms. Platt, Trustee Rech said that Mr. Goldspiel and Mr. Luisada
have designed one of the most successful RTA routes and she preferred to
concur with their recommendations because they have analyzed transportation
problems very well .

CONTRACT III
COMPANY LUMP SUM
Okeh Electric Co.
Rosemont, Illinois $68,018.00
Mr. Yost reviewed his letter, dated July 15, 1977, recommending award of
Contract No. I (General Construction) to Gerhardt F. Meyne Co. in a tentative
base-bid amount of $726,800 contingent upon receipt of additional information
to aid in selection of certain equipment items. He then reviewed his letter,
dated July 18, 1977, recommending award of Contract No. II (Deep Well & Pump)
to J. P. Miller Artesian Well Co. in the tentative base-bid amount of either
$249,000 for Item I , or $273,530 for Item 1A, and recommending that if sufficient
funds are available to finance the construction of Item lA that it be considered.
This letter also recommended that Contract No. II be awarded immediately, and
that Contract No. I be delayed in order to allow a more orderly sequence of
start up operations on-site. Lengthy discussion followed.
Trustee Rech was concerned that bids were $200,000 over that which was anticipated.
She suggested that, in the future the Village consider an above ground reservoir"—
Referring to Contract II , Trustee Rech ask d if anything could be eliminated
other than the items outlined by Mr. Yost in his memo. Mr. McCoy said that
Item I is basically the same design as other Village wells, and Item IA is a
larger diameter hole with a casing pipe cemented in to a much greater depth
which is a better well . Mr. Yost said the only savings that might be possible
is if it is allowable to use an across-the-line starter instead of a low voltage
electrical starter.
Moved by Rech, seconded by Mendenhall to accept the bid of J. P. Miller Artesian
Well Company for Item IA of Contract II in the amount of $273,530 as outlined
in the Keifer and Associates memo of July 18, 1977, and to include any provisions
of any cost savings that could be incorporated. Upon roll call , the vote was:

NAYES: 0 - None
Motion declared carried.
Referring to Contract III , Mr. Yost noted that there was one bidder only, and
that bid was 17% above engineer's estimate. He said he would continue to
5026
7/18/77
discuss with Okeh Electric possible cost savings. Mr. McCoy said the equipment
could be purchased directly from the manufacturer and an installer could be
hired which could result in cost savings. It was decided to not award Contract
III at this time.
Referring to Contract I , Trustee Rech suggested that award of this contract be
delayed until the Park District has decided if they want to have the tennis
court constructed on top of the reservoir. Mr. Yost said that he will submit
a recommendation regarding whether a bronze or cast iron bowl should be used.
Trustee Rech requested a financial report regarding the necessary additional
financing before action is taken on Contract I .

County Board. Trustee Marienthal said the developer has requested this item to
be tabled because he was unable to attend the meeting this evening, and he
would like to appear before the Plan Commission again.
After discussion, President Fabish polled the Board, "Yes" indicating favor of
pursuing annexation to Buffalo Grove with the owner of the Candlewood Creek
Subdivision, and "No" indicating opposition. The poll found the following:

Staff recommendation was to purchase the Toro Greensmower III because it is
felt to be a better piece of equipment and the parts would be interchangeable
with presently owned equipment.
Trustee Mendenhall felt it would be better to keep the money invested instead
of purchasing this equipment near the end of the season. He suggested it
could be purchased next spring. Mr. Balling said this is the only piece of
capital equipment authorized in the budget for the golf course, and it will
replace a six year old piece of equipment. He felt it is important to purchase
this equipment in this fiscal year.
Trustee Marienthal did not feel the cost difference could be justified.
CORRECT I CN *SEE BELOW
Mr. Sommer suggested that the cut kit attachment be eliminated, which would
bring the cost under the budgeted amount.
Moved by Keister, seconded by Stone to accept the bid price for the Toro
Greensmower without the optional variable quick height cut kit at a price of
$4,950. Upon roll call , the vote was:
AYES: 2 - Keister, Stone
