Pissot Developer, Buffalo Grove Commerce Center Mr. J. Baaalamenti, Resident Mr. J. Marienthal, Trustee Mr. R. Kuenkler, Village Engineer Mr. J. Truesdell, Village Planner FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION-BUFFALO GROVE COMMERCE CENTER, UNIT I Mr. Truesdell - The staff has reviewed the plat. Previously concern was ex- pressed by the Ridgewood and Northwood Subdivision homeowners regarding access to their subdivision via Armstrong Drive. Agreement has been reached on an effective intersection design which would limit industrial traffic on Armstrong Drive. The Horatio Gardens homeowners were concerned about hazardous wastes. We do have our own performance standards and the developers have submitted restrictive covenants. The developer does have to meet all the standards and regulations of the Village. Mr. Freedman - There are areas, primarily in appearance,that we want to be more restrictive. At the request of staff we are putting a provision in the covenant that it could not be amended without the Village Board's approval. Mr. Kuenkler - When we met with the representative of the homeowners he had expressed concern regarding a restrictive covenant for Lots 40 and 41. For access onto Armstrong Drive we would like a restrictive covenant for Lot 1 for access onto Lake Cook Road. - 2 - Mr. Freedman - We will do it if you want, but it could cause problems at a later date. We do not agree with the homeowners that we should restrict access from Lots 40 and 41. Mr. Badalamenti - Regarding the limited access on Pauline Avenue, we had asked that prior to approval of your plan we would be shown plans to terminate Pauline. Mr. Pissot - That is covered on our next phase and will be presented at that time. Commissioner Button moved that the Plan Commission forward to the Village Board with its recommendation for approval the plat of Unit I, Buffalo Grove Commerce Center revised December 22, 1980 subject to: 1. Addition of a restrictive covenant prohibiting access to Armstrong Drive from Lots 40 and 41. 2. Addition of interior angles on boundaries. 3. Signing of the plat by the private utilities, owners, and notaries. 4. Show scale graphically. 5. Creation of a reproducible linen for recording in Cook County. Commissioner Reid seconded the motion. Mr. Freedman - I did not understand that restrictive covenants prohibiting access to Armstrong Drive from Lots 40 and 41 was a staff recommendation rather that it was a suggestion. Our inclination is not to do it. Mr. Kuenkler - In our conversation with the homeowners representative, he was not hard fast on that. Commissioner Button - I amend the motion to delete item one but to provide turns only to the east. Signing to prohibit movements from Lots 40 and 41 to the west on Armstrong. Commissioner Glover - '1Vo Truck"signs at the western boundaries of the development should be sufficient. Mr. Freedman - We are agreeable to signs prohibiting truck traffic turns to the west from Lots 40 and 41. AYES: Commissioners Button, Davis, Shifrin, Glover, Reid, Kaszubowski �./ NAYES: None ABSTAIN: Commissioner Goldspiel ABSENT: Commissioner Sheldon The motion passed 6 - 0 Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting January 7, 1981 L - 3 - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Mr. Truesdell - We have been working on the revision to the Comprehensive Plan. We have been working on the land use phase. The map tonight represents comments that we have received from the Plan Commission over the last three workshops. It incorporates the changes for the areas east of the Soo Line tracks plus other changes discussed at the previous workshops. Mr. Truesdell then briefly reviewed Mrs Park's memo dated December 30, 1980 titled Land Use Plan Update to the Plan Commission. Mr. Truesdell - We tried to revise a bike system and a highway plan. The highway plan has the least new items in it. Mr. Truesdell then briefly presented the highway plan. The bike path system is fairly simple. It reflects the Citrust/Hilltown Plan. We have added in the arterial bike system and the recreational bike path system which connects the open space. I thought this would be a good time to discuss whether the Plan Commission feels that there should be any new consideration of land uses in the Citrust/ Hilltown area. Commissioner Reid - Are all the existing and the land donations for bike paths that we have gotten depicted on this map? Mr. Truesdell - Yes. Commissioner Reid - What about the plans for the bike path for the White Pines strip? Could that be connected with Bernard? Mr. Truesdell - I have not heard anything new lately, that is something I will have to check into. In answer to a question from Commission Reid, Mr. Truesdell replied that any part of the bike system that the Village owns the Village maintains. Commissioner Goldspiel - Has the Transportation Commission given any determin- ation to the railroad station use? Mr. Truesdell - Not at this time, we are going to be talking to them about it though. +� Commissioner Goldspiel - I have several concerns. On Dundee east of Buffalo Grove Road I think we need to think about using a collector system for the golf course. On the south end we have Village owned property next to the Happ Farm. It might be a good idea to get an idea as to what we want in terms of a collector and bike path system there. The Johnson property, I wonder about that collector skimming along the golf course. It is a narrow parcel that should have access on both sides. Regarding the Citrust/Hilltown Plan, it might be a good idea to talk to the owner and get an idea of what he invisions for this land. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting January 7, 1981 - 4 _ Commissioner Goldspiel - Regarding the Citrust/Hilltown Plan, it might be an idea to talk with the owner and get his thoughts on what he envisions for that land. Mr. Marienthal - The Village has had conferences with the Fiore 's. They wanted to bring in their property without a plan at all. The reason the other plan failed is because the Fiore 's wanted to bring that plan in them- selves. Mr. Truesdell - Tonight I wanted to get a consensus of approval from the Plan Commission so that we could get a final draft document. Commissioner Goldspiel - Regarding the Taggart Property, are they still think- ing of it as a nine hole golf course? Mr. Truesdell - I believe they wanted to develop the whole thing. There is a preliminary engineering study taking place between Route 83 and Aptakisic to extend Buffalo Grove Road. If we should get federal funding to extend that road, we will have to replace the wet lands that would be used for it. We will finalize this and put together a draft document that we will re- submit to the Plan Commission for review before the public hearing. Mr. Marienthal - I would like to see one public hearing in Cook County and one public hearing in Lake County for this master plan. Mr. Truesdell - Regarding the updating of the Zoning Ordinance the Zoning Board of Appeals is going to discuss it at their January 20, 1981 meeting. FUTURE AGENDA For the January 21, 1981 meeting the Northwest Community Medical Arts Center Final Plat will be ready. The Planned Unit Development portion of the Zoning Ordinance will also be presented. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Davis moved the meeting be adjourned. Commissioner Button seconded the motion.
