Estates, bearing 86 signatures. Also presented were petitions from

bearing 12 signatures , and from residents along Checker Road, bearing 13
signatures.
Robert Coffin, Village President of Long Grove, reviewed the proposed
annexation and noted that it is made contiguous to Buffalo Grove via a
one mile long corridor. He registered opposition to the development because
it is a radical departure from the type of development outlined in the Long
`./ Grove Master Plan, because it penetrates one and three quarters of a mile
into Long Grove's sphere of influence according to their sewer agreement
with Lake County, and because road access would be over Long Grove roads.

and that Long Grove's objections will be given serious consideration. He

by the Plan Commission and then the Village Board. He stated that residents
are invited to participate in the discussion at the hearings.
