Home Rule 4
In response to a question from Trustee Bogart, Trustee Stone stated that the
Home Rule Committee does not feel it can make a recommendation regarding a
referendum until the report of the Fire Service Committee is submitted.
The Committee does not feel a need for referendum until the need for home rule
surfaces.
After discussion, it was the concensus of the Board to "gear up" for the
referendum to be held in conjunction with the next Village general election
to be held in April of 1979.
Areawide Water Quality Manavment Plan (208)
Mr. Fennell and Mr. Truesdell reviewed their reports, dated June 22 and
June 21 , 1978, regarding NIPC's Areawide Water Quality Management Plan (208) .
They also reviewed a proposed resolution outlining Buffalo Grove's position
on the plan. They recommended the Village support the plan if the following
conditions were met:
1 . The year 2000 service area within the Southeast Lake Facilities
Planning Area should be expanded to include Buffalo Grove's entire
planning area as defined in the Village's Master Plan.
2. Communities who have actively worked at methods of reducing
pollution due to urbanization should receive credits toward
the required percentages of pollution reduction as required in
the plan.
3. Cost and source of funding for the program should be identified.
Also kind of controls on local government should be identified.
4. Management system should be based upon river basin designation
instead of county. An existing agency should be used rather
than creating another level of government.
After discussion, the Board felt that they would like to pass the proposed
resolution this evening so that it could be entered into the record of a
N. I .P.C. meeting to be held on June 28. Upon Mr. Raysa 's consent, they
reconvened the special meeting that took place earlier in the evening.
Time: 8: 10 P.M.

Callaghan;Property
The Board reviewed the rezoning and plan review applications submitted by
Francis Callaghan for B-5 zoning of 10.54 acres located on the east side
of Buffalo Grove Road just north of Checker Road (extended) and located
within the proposed Town Center.
Robert Olson of Balsamo/Olson Group reviewed a preliminary site plan, dated
June 22, 1978, for the Callaghan property and an overall plan for the entire
Town Center property. The overall Town Center plan depicted the center portion
of the property as commercial , the north portion as multi-family, and the
south portion as office and research. He felt this plan equally treated
all property owners within the Town Center area.
After lengthy discussion, the developer was asked to prepare two or three
alternative concept plans with more green space (this could be accomplished
by use of some multi story buildings), change traffic pattern to have fewer
ingress and egress points and no through streets to be in line with the
official map, and uniqueness to plan. Mr. Olson felt that B-5 requires an
excessive amount of parking. The Board and staff agreed and asked that the
next plans have less parking and more landscaping.
The alternative plans will be reviewed by the Town Center Committee on
July 6, 1978, at 7:30 P.M.
Candlewood Creek East
Trustee Marienthal stated that the Plan Commission recommended an alternative
Candlewood Creek East plan to the original one dated March 22, 1978, which
would be dated June 14, 1978.
David Addis, attorney representing the property owners, reviewed three plans
for Candlewood Creek East - Plan #1, dated May 5, 1978, which was originally
reviewed by the Board at public hearing, Plan #2, dated May 25, 1978, which
complied with the Board requests made at public hearing and presented to
Plan Commission, and Plan #3, dated June 19, 1978, which incorporated requests
made by Plan Commission. Plan Commissioner Jim Button stated that the Plan
Commission informally has reviewed Plan #3 and it does conform with the motion
for approval made at their meeting.
After discussion, President Fabish polled the Board to determine which plan
they preferred. The poll found the following:
PLAN #1 - 0 - None
PLAN #2 - 0 - None
PLAN #3 - 5 - Bogart, Marienthal , Stone, Mendenhall , Kandel
�./ The Board stated that they did not wish for Outlot A to be dedicated to the
Village.
Ordinances approving the annexation and zoning will be on the agenda for
July 10, 1978

Swanson/Scholz Property
Trustee Mendenhall referred to a recent meeting at which citizens requested
the Village to investigate the feasibility of purchasing the Swanson/Scholz
property, located at the southeast corner of Arlington Heights and Checker
Roads, to conserve it for open space. He felt the Park District was the
logical agency to make this purchase and the people should petition them.
Trustee Stone stated that the committee will explore all alternatives
and possibly will go to the Park District with this request when all the
facts and figures are assembled.
Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 10:30 P.M.
