PUBLIC HEARING - CITRUST/HILLTOWN PROPERTIES
President Clayton called the Public Hearing to order at 7:40 P.M. She then
read the Notice of Public Hearing which was published in the Buffalo Grove
Herald on June 27, 1980. Moved by Marienthal , seconded by Hartstein to
continue the Public Hearing until July 28, 1980, when the Annexation Agreement
should be in proper form. Upon voice vote, the motion was unanimously declared
carried. The Public Hearing was continued at 7:42 P.M.
CITRUST/HILLTOWN
The basis for tonight 's workshop discussion will be Mr. Balling's memo to the
Board of July 10, 1980, along with the exhibits attached to it.
Mr. Kinley gave a brief overview of the plan dated April 11 , 1980. Lengthy
discussion took place regarding the first point identified in Mr. Balling's
memo, that being "Minimum Residential Zoning Lots , Zoning Strategy and Design
Standard". In answer to a question from the Board, Mr. Raysa explained how
the zoning would work. The Village would zone pursuant to the Annexation
Agreement and/or pursuant to a PUD; each pod has to obey the Annexation
Agreement. The entire 835 acres would be a PUD; each pod would carry a sub-
classification such as PUD R-7, etc. , which would be used as the framework
for setbacks and so forth.
The feelings of each of the Trustees on the subject are as follows:
Trustee Marienthal - He would be willing to designate a minimum size that
could occur in a particular pod; he would not want to vary any setback require-
ments .
Trustee Stone - He would go along with the staff recommendation and have the
proviso that if something unique and beneficial could be developed, we would
have the option of clustering, and not be locked into a particular plan.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
JULY 14, 1980
PAGE TWO
Trustee O'Reilly - She supports staff's recommendations.
Trustee Hartstein - He basically supports staff's recommendations , but also
agrees with Trustee Stone about allowing clustering, and making it explicit
that there might be certain standards which could be utilized in a clustering
situation; the staff's position could be expanded upon somewhat, to give a
little more flexibility in certain situations.
Trustee Kavitt - He supports staff's recommendations .
Trustee Gerschefske - He supports staff's recommendations.
President Clayton stated that the staff recommendation has the majority, with
some concern that there be some provisos to permit clustering. Mr. Balling
then outlined the way this concept would be incorporated into the Annexation
Agreement. President Clayton asked if there were any objections to this; there
were none.
Mr. Balling then went on to summarize the seven basic standards of zoning
under the design criteria contained in his July 10, 1980 memo, Exhibit A.
Lengthy discussion took place regarding the 5% density incentive for unique
housing design standards. President Clayton summarized that the Board was
willing to give a density incentive for unique housing, the list yet to be
developed. It was suggested that there possibly be another incentive rather
than density.
RECESS
President Clayton declared a recess from 9:25 until 9 :35 P.M.
After further discussion regarding the density incentive, it was determined
that the Board would have to review a more complete list of unique and innovative
housing design standards before a decision could be made on same.
Lengthy discussion then took place on the recommended improvements to major
roadways. The discussion focused on Exhibit C with Mr. Balling's memo, and
also the Harland Bartholomew report.
Mr. Friedman stated that they do not want to improve Prairie and Port Clinton
Roads just because they are coming into the Village. Discussion on this point
followed. President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of
improving Prairie Road; "No" indicates opposition:
YES - Marienthal , Stone, O'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt, Gerschefske
NO - None
President Clayton polled the Board: "Yes" indicates favor of requiring
improvement of Port Clinton Road; "No" indicates opposition:
YES - Marienthal , Stone, O'Reilly, Hartstein, Kavitt, Gerschefske
NO - None
