BUFFALO GROVE DAYS President Clayton read the schedule of events for Buffalo Grove Days. She also announced that the Chairman of Buffalo Grove Days is in need of an organization to take charge of the Homemaking Contest. Also needed is a civic organization to take charge of games. Mrs. Clayton urged anyone interested in these projects to contact the Village. POST OFFICE • President Clayton reported that she had been informed that, as of January 1 , 1980, Buffalo Grove will no longer be a postal address. Any letter addressed to Buffalo Grove after that time would be returned to sender, stating that there is no such address. President Clayton contacted Congressman Crane's office, and spoke with Earl Lewis, a member of Congressman Crane's staff. She explained the situation to Mr. Lewis, and suggested that this was the time to request a branch post office in Buffalo Grove. Mr. Lewis contacted Washington and advised Mrs. Clayton that the way to keep this situation from occurring is to have a branch post office in. Buffalo Grove. Mr. Lewis gave President Clayton the name of the person to write to requesting this , and stated that the Congressman would help the Village pursue this all the way through. Mr. Lewis was very encouraging to President Clayton that we would be able to secure the Branch Post Office. TERRAMERE SUBDIVISION -P lv4v,4• y„,,(,, E„r ' President Clayton also noted recJving a letter from residents on Whitehall Drive who were informed of an Arlington Heights Plan Commission meeting having to do with the rezoning of 3 lots that would expand the Terramere commercial property. Mr. Delaney stated that he had attended a meeting regarding this, and stated that the staff does not feel this will create a great problem, although it will increase traffic at the Whitehall Drive intersection somewhat. Mr. Delaney stated that it is in our interest to bring the point to the attention of Arlington Heights, and make them aware that Buffalo Grove is concerned with the traffic congestion at the Whitehall Drive/Arlington Heights Road intersection. Trustee Gerschefske will represent Buffalo Grove at the Arlington Heights Plan Commission meeting on July 25, 1979. COMMITTEE OF 4E WHOLE JULY 23, 1979 PAGE TWO AIR RAID SIGNAL - TWIN GROVES SCHOOL Mr. Balling explained what had happened to activate the Air Raid Signal at Twin Groves School on July 22, 1979. He also stated what was being done to insure that it did not happen again. HOME RULE • Trustee Hartstein explained his reasons for requesting this informational work- shop meeting regarding Home Rule. Mr. Hartstein then introduced Mr. Sam Lawton, former Mayor of Highland Park, and lecturer at John Marshall Law School , to speak to the Board on the development of Home Rule in Illinois. Mr. Lawton explained the provisions of Home Rule in. the Constitution, and also discussed some of the things which have occurred and have not occurred by virtue of those provisions. Mr. Lawton also pointed out various problems and benefits of Home Rule. He did state that statistics show that Home Rule power has not been abused by those municipalities which have it. The basic text of Mr. Lawton's comments is contained in the Home Rule Committee Report dated January 9, 1978; and also in a pamphlet distributed by the Department of Local Government Affairs entitled "Home Rule for Small Municipalities in Illinois. " Trustee Hartstein pointed out that the Blue Ribbon Committee for Home Rule unanimously recommended to the Village Board in January of 1978 that they felt that Home Rule should be utilized in Buffalo Grove. In February of 1978, the Village Board did pass a motion to hold a referendum on Home Rule, but did not set a date for such. Trustee Hartstein asked Mr. Raysa to outline how Home Rule can be obtained by Buffalo Grove. Mr. Raysa stated that a municipality may become Home Rule either by reaching a population of 25,000, or by having an election. He also stated some legal requirements . Discussion and questions on Home Rule followed. Trustee Hartstein stated that he had asked the staff to prepare a population projection to determine when it would be likely that Buffalo. Grove would attain a population of 25,000, thereby automatically becoming a Home Rule community. It is estimated that the Village would attain a population of 25,000 sometime in 1982, and by the time that figure is certified, it would probably be sometime in 1983 before the Village would automatically become a Home Rule community. Trustee Gerschefske asked when the earliest date would be that such a referendum could be held. Trustee Hartstein stated that, before a referendum could be held, all residents should be educated so that they would have a true understanding of Home Rule; therefore, he feels that it would take at least 3 to 4 months before this information could be prepared and distributed. Trustee O'Reilly questioned why the Village should consider having a referendum on Home Rule. \./ COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE JULY 23, 1979 PAGE THREE Trustee Hartstein responded that his feelings, as well as the findings of the Home Rule Study Commission and Mr. Lawton 's comments, are that Home Rule provides a useful tool to the community. He said there are many issues that the Village is confronted with where Home Rule could be useful . For instance, regarding a fire department, he stated that even if the residents decided that they wanted a certain type of fire protection and were willing to pay for it, it is conceivable that, without Home Rule, the Village might not be able to tax at a sufficient level to provide for it. Trustee Hartstein urged all Board members to seriously consider the concept of Home Rule. He then thanked everyone for their attention to this matter, and also thanked Mr. Lawton for his presentation. Trustee Marienthal stated that his position on Home Rule is that, unless it is tied to a particular issue, he does not see the necessity of the Village having Home Rule power at this point. President Clayton declared a break at 8:50, and the meeting reconvened at 9:00 P.M. PARKING ORDINANCE President Clayton explained what would be taking place at this meeting regarding the Parking Ordinance. She stated that there are 4 proposals before the Board: 1. The one which was referred to the Board from the Plan Commission, which is the one that the Plan Commission held a Public Hearing on. 2. The recommendations for amendments from the Plan Commission. 3. A staff-recommended ordinance. 4. A compromise ordinance which was put together by Trustee Hartstein. President Clayton said that the ordinance which is approved must be the one which was sent to the Plan Commission, or something very close to that one. If this is not the case, another Public Hearing must be held. President Clayton stated that the ordinance which will be used as the basis for discussion is the one which was sent to the Plan Commission for Public Hearing. President Clayton stated that the first item for discussion is the Plan Commission recommendation to include a definition of a "VAN" in the section under definitions on Page 2 of the Revised "A" ordinance. There was then discussion by the Board on this subject. Chief Walsh suggested eliminatingthe definition and letting the State make that determination by the types of license plates required. President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of including the definition of "VAN"; "No" indicates opposition: Yes - None No - Marienthal , O'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt, Gerschefske Absent - Stone The definition of "VAN" will not be included. Trustee Hartstein recommended that the fact that a vehicle and trailer be considered as one vehicle be added at the end of the "Boat Trailer" definition. COMMITTEE OF WHOLE JULY 23, 1979 PAGE FOUR President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of Trustee Hartstein 's recommendation to Include an additional number in the definition section to pro- vide that a boat and a boat trailer be construed as one vehicle; "No" indicates opposition: Yes - Marienthal , O'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt , Gerschefske No —None Absent - Stone This definition will be included by the Village Attorney at the appropriate place in the ordinance. There was then discussion of the "Commercial Vehicle" definition. Mr. Raysa stated that he could come back to the Board with the appropriate language for the definition section if the Board will make the policy decisions. President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor or changing the defi- nition of commercial vehicles so that it does not cover a passenger vehicle (language to be determined by the Village Attorney) ; "No" indicates opposition: Yes - Marienthal , O' Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt, Gerschefske No - None Absent - Stone The "Commercial Vehicle" definition will be changed. President Clayton then polled the Board regarding the number of commercial vehicles: "Yes" indicates favor of permitting one commercial vehicle; "No" indicates opposition: Yes - Marienthal , O'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt, Gerschefske No - None Absent - Stone One commercial vehicle will be permitted. President Clayton then opened discussion on the size of commercial vehicles. The proposal is that there be a limit on commercial vehicles of 18' in length, 7' in width, and 8' in height. There was much discussion on defining vehicles by weight. The question of enforcement was raised, and President Clayton stated that she hopes than an ordinance can be drafted whereby the obvious violators will be cited by whomever is enforcing the ordinance, and the rest would be handled only on a complaint basis. After a great deal of discussion on whether a new ordinance should be considered, or whether the present ordinance should be retained, President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of the parking ordinance on the books at the present time which prohibits anything other than passenger cars, with the under- standing that it would primarily be enforced on a complaint basis; "No" indicates opposition, i.e. drafting something other than what is presently on the books. A member of the audience suggested that all vehicles should be registered and have permits, which would easily identify which vehicles were allowed to be parked in a driveway. Another member of the audience suggested that the 2-page staff recommendation comes very close to what everyone is trying to achieve. COMMITTEE OFE WHOLE JULY 23, 1979 PAGE FIVE President Clayton stated that the problem with the staff-recommended ordinance is that it would require another Public Hearing. The results of the polling were: Yes - Kavitt, Gerschefske No - Marienthal , O'Reilly, Hartstein Absent - Stone The discussion on a new ordinance will be continued. President Clayton announced that, because of the lateness of this meeting, the Tax Apportionment Petition would be handled at another meeting. There was a great deal of discussion on whether the Board would proceed with the proposed ordinance on which a Public Hearing was held by the Plan Commission, or whether the Board would prefer to move on the staff-recommended ordinance, which would have to be referred to the Plan Commission for another Public Hearing. Mr. Raysa feels that the staff-recommended ordinance would be a major change from the ordinance on which the Public Hearing was held, and, therefore, would require another Public Hearing. Trustee Hartstein suggested that the Board consider the adoption of Section 3.8-2 - Commercial Vehicles, subject to any additional recommendations the staff may have relating to weight if appropriate. President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of Trustee Hartstein's suggestion; "No" indicates opposition: Yes - Marienthal , O'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt, Gerschefske No - None Absent - Stone Section 3.8-2 will be included in the proposed ordinance.

President Clayton said that the staff and the Village Attorney will put the ordinance in the proper form, and it will be placed on the August 6, 1979 agenda. GRAND SPAULDING REZONING r BUFFALO GROVE DATSUN DEALER President Clayton explained that this is a pre-application conference to consider a proposal for a change in plan at Grand Spaulding Dodge. Mr. Bob Stavin, Mr. Lloyd Fried, and Mr. Steve Thompson introduced themselves to the Board. Mr. Stavin and Mr. Fried are proposing to purchase this property. Mr. Thompson, of Trebor Development Corporation, displayed a site plan , and stated the items for which they are seeking approval : 1. Approval with regard to planned urban development and site utilization. 2. Approval to alter the location of the drainage ditch which passes through the property. 3. Approval for a retention pond. 4. Approval of the architectural facade. The facility will consist of a 17,326 square foot auto sales and service dealership. The name of the dealership will be Buffalo Grove Datsun. Mr. Thompson stated that the covenant on the property provides for a car dealership, and they would like to request that that be changed to "car dealerships". Trustees Hartstein and Kavitt discussed the terms of the covenant. President Clayton asked Mr. Raysa to investigate the points which have been brought up at this meeting, and come back to the Board with his opinion on this covenant. Mr. Stavin stated that they were originally going to have the owner of the property build the facility, and rent it to Mr. Stavin and Mr. Fried. Since then, Mr. Stavin and Mr. Fried have decided they wish to buy the property. President Clayton stated that she would like the Board to concentrate on the plan which the buyers of the property propose. Mr. William Kiddie read a statement as to how this proposed dealership could adversely affect the surrounding park land. Trustee O'Reilly wanted to make it clear that Mr. Kiddie was speaking for himself, and not the Park Board. COMMITTEE OFE WHOLE JULY 23, 1979 PAGE TEN Mr. Balling noted Mr. Delaney's memo of July 20, 1979 noting certain commitments made by the owner at the June 28, 1976 Public Hearing. Trustee Hartstein stated that the main issue confronting the Board now is the land use. He does not think there is a problem in the land use, since there is a car dealership adjacent. He feels this type of business will be of great value to the Village because of the revenue it will bring. Mr. Hartstein also said that the concerns of the surrounding residents should be addressed fully. President Clayton said that she would like very much to see the Irving School park developed in much the same way that Bicentennial Park was developed. Mrs. Clayton suggested that Trustee Kavitt "spearhead" a committee of Mill Creek residents to work on this. Trustee Kavitt stated that he would like very much to have another auto dealership in the Village, but he questions whether this is the proper site for such a dealership. He feels it is too close to the park, and he also sees a possible problem with ingress off of Dundee Road. Mr. Stavin stated that they do not intend to build anything that is not agreeable to the Village, and they would do everything possible to be an asset to the community. He also said that all service work would be performed under roof. There would be new and some used cars displayed outside, but they would be tastefully displayed. Regarding lighting, Mr. Stavin stated that their lights will be turned off at 9:00 P.M. , and they will make sure these lights do not shine into people's homes. Regarding the question of a buffer, Mr. Stavin stated that they will do whatever Buffalo Grove asks of them, unless it is totally impossible. Trustee Kavitt asked if there were any other available sites for this dealership in the Village. Mr. Stavin stated that Datsun wants to be represented in Buffalo Grove, and there is no other available land on Dundee Road, which is the most logical place for a car dealership. Trustee Kavitt questions whether or not the residents of Mill Creek should be subjected to another auto dealership. He asked Mr. Stavin if they would be willing to meet with residents of Mill Creek. Mr. Stavin said he and Mr. Fried would do everything they could to make this dealership acceptable to those residents. Mr. Stavin said that he would not permit cars to race down the streets, and since their business would close at 9:00 P.M. , he feels it would be much less of a problem than a fast-food restaurant, which would be open much later at night. He said he has been an automobile dealer for many years, and has never had a problem with residents. He said they intend to create as little nuisance as possible. Mr. Fried commented that the property is zoned commercial , and, therefore, at some point in time, there will be a commercial enterprise on this site. Since that is the case, he feels that an automobile dealership is much less offensive than NNed other things which could be built there. Trustee O'Reilly stated that, although she is completely sympathetic to the Mill Creek park situation, this is an illogical place for a park, and simply making it bigger will not make it any better, because it is basically inaccessible. COMMITTEE OFt'rIQE WHOLE JULY 23, 1979 PAGE ELEVEN �,' Trustee Kavitt is interested in the entire site being purchased for park use, and he asked Mr. Stavin if he would like to disclose the cost of this property. Mr. Stavin said the total cost of the land is $550,000, and the building is an addition $650,000. President Clayton polled the Board as to the basic land use for this property as proposed: "Yes" indicates favor of the proposal ; "No" indicates opposition: Yes - Marienthal , O'Reilly, Hartstein, Gerschefske (If it cannot be used for a park) No - Kavitt Absent - Stone Trustee Hartstein suggested that this be put on an agenda for discussion by the Board as to the appropriate action that can be taken relating to some sort of contribution to the Park District or effort by the Village regarding the Mill Creek parks. Trustee Kavitt said that he would like to see the park for the school site tied to acceptance of this parcel of property. President Clayton said this proposal will be on the agenda for referral to the Plan Commission at the next meeting. The Plan Commission will be advised of the Board's concerns regarding the site. Mr. Jerry Orloff, 1100 Crofton Lane, asked if the proposed owners of this property would be adverse to making a cash contribution to the Park District. Mr. Stavin stated that he cannot make that type of a commitment now. He did say that his past history shows that he has always donated to the city or village in which he was doing business President Clayton adjourned the meeting at 12:40 P.M. arrt . \ , J t M.
