COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE Surety Homes (tamelot Sub division) Public Hearing President Fabish read the Notice of Public Hearing that appeared in the Buffalo Grove Herald on March 5, 1976. Subject of the hearing will be a petition for annexation and zoning of R-5 for a single family development and a petition to rezone the portion of the property already in the Village from R-1 to R-5. Applicant is Surety Homes of Bolingbrook as contract purchasers. Property involved is sixty-six acres south of Aptakisic Road and bordering Strathmore Grove on the east and Route 83 and Busch Road on the south. 4529 3/22/76 President Fabish asked those who wished to give testimony to be sworn in. They were: Richard Kaufman, Vice President of Surety Homes ; Michael Ives, land planner; and Richard Piggott , engineer. Mr. Kaufman stated that Surety Homes is the contract purchaser of the property and is the petitioner for the public hearing for annexation and rezoning of a parcel of property consisting of approximately 66 acres at the northeast corner of Route 83 and Busch Road. Approximately 17 acres (located in the southwest corner) was previously annexed to the Village and zoned R-1 in 1973. The request is that the balance of the property be annexed and zoned R-5 and the previously annexed property be rezoned R-5 so that the property can be developed as a single family subdivision. Mr. Kaufman proposed a subdivision of approximately 200 platted lots but anticipated developing 193 of the lots for sale. After negotiations with the Park District and School District, the School District was given the option of five lots (.95 net acres) at the northern end of the property contiguous with the Wagner parcel for a period of two years. In the event the School District acquires the previously designated elementary school site on the Wagner parcel , the five lots can be added to it. In the event the lots are not taken by the School District , Surety Homes would be able to build and sell as other lots. Two lots in the northeast corner, contiguous with the Wagner parcel , have been taken out to provide temporary detention. Surety Homes has an agreement with Levitt providing that when the storm detention system is developed on the Wagner parcel , a small portion of the sub- ject property, in the northeast corner, would be handled by that system. When this takes place, a drainage easement will be dedicated to the Village. Final resolution with the Park District was a large park site (6. 1 net acres) in the southeast corner of the property and a small park site (. 78 net acres) in the northwest corner. Minimum lot size for R-5 zoning is 7200 square feet but because of the proposed house size, a self-imposed lot size minimum will be 7700 square feet. They propose to build six models, each with four different exterior elevations. They will avoid building like models next door to each other or across the street. Size of homes will be between 1075 square feet of finished living area and 2180 square feet. Base price range will be $57,000 to $65,000. Mr. Ives displayed an aerial photograph of the northern quadrant of Buffalo Grove. He reviewed the location of the property in relation to proposed Buffalo Grove Road extended and proposed Bush Road extended. He noted that the Comprehensive Plan of the Village designates the property as single family with commercial at the intersection of Busch Road and Route 83. Surety Homes did not propose commercial activity because they felt there is adequate commercial area in the community. Mr. Ives displayed a U.S.G.S. flood plain map illustrating the subject property in red. A small section in the northern part of the property drains northeasterly into Aptakisic Creek while the balance of the property drains easterly to Buffalo Creek. Mr. Ives stated that during the course of design studies, planning efforts were coordinated with Levitt for the Wagner parcel . Correlation of street patterns and necessity of collector streets were considered. Thompson Boulevard is proposed to be extended through the development as a 35' street with 80 ' r.o.w. in order to eventually afford access east to Buffalo Grove 4530 3/22/76 Road. The extension of the north-south collector street from the Wagner parcel through the DeBruler parcel would be midway between the Route 83/ Busch Road interchange and Buffalo Grove Road extended. Mr. Ives displayed and reviewed a site analysis and inventory of the property. Major and minor ridge lines and drainage patterns were reviewed. In reviewing the subdivision plan, Mr. Ives stated that the typical interior lot will be 70' X 111 ' . All requirements of the existing ordinance with regard to front yards, set backs, side yards, rear yards and utility ease- ments will be complied with. Total useable park land will be 5.2 acres. Access to the Phoenix property was made by way of Banbury Lane. He believed that the Park District found the park sites acceptable. Gross density of the project will be 2.93 units per acre, and net project density, excluding open space, will be 3.4 units per acre. Mr. Ives reviewed the revised copy of the revenue study, revised project information forms, and impact statement. Mr. Piggott reviewed preliminary engineering for the project. The project will be served by Lake County sewer system and Village of Buffalo Grove water system. The major portion of the project will drain by gravity. The northeast part of the development will drain to the northeast corner and be picked up by a lift station and piped by force main to the gravity sewer. The lift station will be sized to handle this project, the Wagner parcel , and future expansion to the east. The project will be tied in with the existing water main at Checker with a 12" water main and tied in with the water main at Thompson Boulevard. Storm water system will follow the topography with storm water being picked up in the storm sewer and brought into the detention ponds. The detention areas will handle approximately 51 acres of the property and will be designed to handle detention of a 100 year storm with a 2 year storm release. The bulk of the year the pond will be dry. In response to a question from President Fabish, Mr. Piggott stated that Brandywyn Lane should not be a collector street because its proximity to Route 83 would cause awkward movement. Plan Commissioner Mendenhall stated that the Plan Commission approved the project with a 4-1 vote. Commissioner Goldspiel 's negative vote was because he felt Brandywyn Lane should be 35' instead of 27' . The Commission feels that Banbury Lane (access to Phoenix property) should be installed during the development. The Commission also recommends that either side- walks be installed adjacent to relocated Busch Road or money be placed in escrow for installation when relocation is complete. Richard Heinrich, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, stated that the Z.B.A. unanimously recommends approval of the request to rezone from R-1 to R-5. The question regarding Brandywyn Lane being a 35' street with a 60 ' r.o.w. resulted in a tie vote. The Z.B.A. unanimously voted that Banbury Lane be shown as green space until it is needed; however, if adjoining property is not developed within seven years, dedication remains with the Village but funds in escrow will be returned to the builder. Kent Rich of School District #96 requested that Brandywyn Lane be 35' wide from Thompson Boulevard north because school buses will have to use the street and street parking is needed for school programs. 4531 3/22/76 In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Piggott stated that the portable generator for their lift station can be used for any other lift station in the Village. In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Piggott stated that the 3 to I slope will be the back slope of the detention ponds away from the park area. In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Kaufman stated that they will abide by Resolution #72-35 for school and park donations. In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Seaberg stated that the soil conditions are not insurmountable. Soil borings indicate some poor material at the surface which would have to be removed. In response to a question from Trustee Rech, Mr. Kaufman stated that a sidewalk will be constructed to connect with the sidewalk along the retention basin in the Strathmore Grove development. In response to a question from Mr. Larson, Mr. Ives stated there will be three access points to the large park. Mr. Ives stated that during the Plan Commission hearing, the developer had suggested construction of a 24 bay parking area in the park area in lieu of Brandywyn Lane being 35' wide. Mr. Ives suggested that instead of making Brandywyn Lane north of Thompson 35 ' wide, that it be posted for parking on one side only. Mr. Larson stated that only two park sites in the Village are located on streets. less than 35' wide, and that both have created problems . Mr. Larson suggested an access point from the Phoenix property east to Brandywyn Ldne. Mr. Ives suggested that the one to the north (Banbury Lane) , be moved further east. President Fabish stated that he preferred Brandywyn Lane being 35' wide instead of a parking area in the park because the parking lot could be installed at a later time but it would be difficult to widen the street later. Mr. Kaufman stated that if Brandywyn Lane has to be 35' wide, he prefers the r.o.w. to be 68' because the houses would be too close to the street with a 60' r.o.w. Mr. Larson stated that the donation to School District #125, in the amount of $28,150, should be added to the annexation agreement. Mr. Larson stated that Lake County plans an interceptor sewer along the Aptakisic Creek to service the Wagner parcel and the Brunswick parcel . He asked if the sewer system could be redesigned so that it can go into a gravity system when the interceptor is installed. Mr. Piggott stated that the system can be kept as shallow as possible. 9:45 P.M. - President Fabish closed the public hearing President Fabish polled the Board.
