President Clayton called the Public Hearing to order at 7:37 P.M. She stated
that notice of this Public Hearing was published in the Buffalo Grove Herald

for annexation and B-3 zoning. The applicant is Northwest Community Hospital .
The property consists of 3.00465 acres located at the southwest corner of
Lake-Cook and Weiland Roads. Mrs . Clayton then explained the purpose of the
Public Hearing.
President Clayton swore in witnesses to give testimony at this Public Hearing,
specifically, Burton Chotiner, Executive Vice President, Northwest Community
Hospital ; Mr. Carl Hundrieser, Hundrieser Gutowsky & Associates, Inc. , Archi-
tects; Mr. John Olson, Elk Grove Engineering Company.
Mr. Chotiner then presented a copy of the notice which was sent out, and the
receipts of same, to the Village Clerk. Mr. Chotiner stated that Northwest
Community Hospital is interested in annexing approximately 3 acres of land
at Lake-Cook and Weiland Road, and having it zoned B-3, commercial . The
purpose of this annexation is to construct a 30,000 square foot medical/dental
office building. The building will house approximately 20-25 doctor/office
suites, have laboratory facilities, radiological facilities, and a pharmacy.
The facility will be approximately the same in style as the existing Ambulatory
Care Center. Mr. Hundrieser then displayed a rendering of the building, and
stated that the brick on the new building will be the same as on the Ambulatory
Care Center. Mr. Hundrieser and Mr. Chotiner stated that every effort is being
made to preserve as many trees on the site as possible.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he had attended the Plan Commission meeting on
this subject, and stated that the plan was unanimously approved by all Plan
Commission members in attendance. A main concern of the Plan Commission was
to save as many trees as possible. Trustee Marienthal asked the representatives-
of Northwest Community Hospital if they would be agreeable to donating any tre,'-s
which they could not use to the Village, with the Village sharing in the cost
of moving those trees. Mr. Chotiner stated that would be agreeable to the
Hospital .

President Clayton asked if there were any other agencies present who
wished to comment. There were none.
The representative of the Hospital was complimented by the Board for the
work that was done to put this annexation agreement in good order. President
Clayton asked if there were any specific questions on the annexation agreement.
There were none.
Mr. Sommer noted some minor changes to be made to the Annexation Agreement :
Page 1 : The acreage referred to in the middle of the page should be
3.0382.
Page 1 : The last revised date at the bottom of the page should be
October 17, 1980.
Page 4: Paragraph 5 should begin: "The Corporate Authorities hereby
approve a Preliminary Plan of Development (Exhibits B and C) . . . ."
Page 5: The llth line should read: "able to Parcel 2; provided further
that all new"
Page 6: Paragraph 8, line 13 should read: "Final Plat of Development and
Plan of Subdivision. Water mains"
Mr. Raysa pointed out that this annexation will be recorded in both Cook and
Lake Counties. Mr. Raysa also pointed out that the term of the Annexation
Agreement is 5 years. He said that this is a "clean" annexation and basically
duplicates Parcel 1 . Mr. Chotiner asked that the last paragraph of Mr. Sommer's
memo of November 20, 1980 be made a part of the minutes of this meeting:
"Through the planning process, the hospital has worked with the Village
to provide only one curb cut on Lake-Cook Road to serve both the
ambulatory care center and proposed medical arts building. In return,
the hospital has requested a variance to our sign ordinance so a
directional and information sign can be placed at the driveway on Lake-
Cook Road serving both the ambulatory care center and the medical arts
office and an identification sign for the medical arts building at the
intersection of Lake-Cook and Weiland Roads. To accomplish this, a
variance of the sign code will have to be granted in regards to the
number of signs per parcel and distance between the signs. The Village
staff has reviewed the request and believe that the request has merit
and will be filing a recommendation with the appropriate review
commissions."
Mr. Raysa pointed out that the sign request will not be in the Annexation
Agreement, and the sign request must go through certain commissions before
coming back before the Board for approval .
