COMMITEEE REPORTS
Commissioner Reid attended the February 8, 1982 Village Board meeting
which also consisted of a public hearing on the Grove Shopping Center.
It was approved.
DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
Commissioner Goldspiel expressed his concern with section 16. 10. 120.
Mr. Boysen stated that the standards allowed materials to be used that
were comparable to those in the catalogue.
Commissioner Goldspiel felt it should be so stated in the ordinance.
Mr. Raysa felt there would be no problem here.
Commissioner Goldspiel expressed concern regarding Cable TV easements.
Mr. Raysa stated that Cable TV has been defined as a utility. There is
a bill before the state legislature stating this. The suggestion was made
at the North West Municipal Conference that all developers and owners be
required to put an easement for Cable TV on their plats. To formalize that
Development Ordinance.Mr. Raysa felt it should be put in the ve opnent i n e.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Raysa stated
that the Cable Franchise Ordinance says that the Village will give to
our franchisee any right, title and interest that we may have to an
easement. We do not guarantee or warrantee that they have the right to
use that easement.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Raysa said he
looked at the franchise agreement and the Franchise Ordinance and one of
those areas that is covered is when the franchise expires or if the
franchisee goes bankrupt. It says there are options. One option is the
Village has the right to purchase those wires at market value. If we do
not exercise that option, or give the franchise to someone else, the set
price will be made at that time and the franchisee is bound to purchase
those wires.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated his personal feeling is that he would have
to vote against the Development Ordinance with that stipulation in it and
also against any plat that contains an easement for Cable TV. He felt the
Village was on thin ice on this issue.
Commissioner Davis asked if someone could be denied a permit to build a
satellite dish because the Village has an agreement for Cable TV.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission
Regular Meeting

Mr. Raysa stated that if you can meet the Village ordinances you can put
up a satellite dish.
In response to a request for copies of exhibits for sections 406, 407,
506, and 507, Mr. Boysen distributed them.
Commissioner Goldspiel pointed out that in 16. 10. 110,the definition of
developer, he felt it should include someone who just wants to subdivide
and plat.
Commissioner Goldspiel pointed out that on page 61, paragraph F after
"program" the word "results" should be inserted.
HIGHLAND GROVE UNIT NUMBERS 4 and 5
Commissioner Goldspiel requested the opportunity to inspect a copy of
the original document approved for this plat. He noted there is a legend
on both of these plats that indicates a 5' wide sidewalk easement hereby
reserved for and granted to the Village of Buffalo Grove. These lots
have been shortened by another 5' and he did not remember anything as
extensive as this in previous discussions.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Kuenkler
stated that Fabish Drive is a minor street and Highland Grove Drive would
be a collector street.
In response to a question from Commissioner Sheldon regarding Highland
Courts North and South, Mr. Kuenkler stated that this had been reviewed
by both the Fire and Police Departments and the problem has been solved
with consecutive numbering.
Commissioner Sheldon stated that there are a number of homes in the Village
that are in violation of the ordinance regarding street numbers.
Mr. Truesdell would check into the ordinance regarding street numbers and
get back to the Commission.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Kuenkler stated
he had reviewed both of the plats for Highland Grove Units 4 and 5 and
found them in order.
Commissioner Sheldon moved recommending to the Village Board approval of
the Plat of Subdivision for Highland Grove Unit Number 4, dated July 12, 1979,
with Commissioner Davis seconding.

Discussion:
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that he proposed to vote against any plat
that has on it an easement for Cable TV which is not supported by Village
Ordinance. He felt there was not any statutory justification to do so.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Kuenkler stated
that the plats for Schwaben Center and Chatham Manor both had easements
for Cable TV.
1 Commissioner Davis asked that if we do not have an easement requirement in
an ordinance how can it be on a plat.
Mr. Raysa stated that the Elgin case calls Cable TV a utility.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Raysa stated
that using the Elgin case he is saying Cable TV is a utility and can be
1
put on a plat under easements.
THE VOTE:
AYES: Commissioners Sheldon, Davis, Reid, Krug
NAYES: Commissioner Goldspiel
ABSTAIN: Commissioner Kaszubowski
ABSENT: Commissioner Glover
The motion passed 5 - 1.
Commissioner Sheldon moved recommending approval of the Plat of Subdivision
of Highland Grove Unit Number 5, dated July 12, 1979, to the Village Board.
Commissioner Davis seconded the motion.
AYES: Commissioners Sheldon, Davis, Reid, Krug
NAPES: Commissioner Goldspiel
ABSTAIN: Commissioner Kaszubowski
ABSENT: Commissioner Glover
The motion passed 5 - 1.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that the reason for his no votes was related
solely to the easement for Cable TV and not the plat.
BUFFALO GROVE CENTER
Mr. Truesdell stated that the plat appears to be in order with a few minor

changes. The Jewel/Osco building was moved and a few signatures were
missing.
Commissioner Davis moved recommending approval of the final Plat of
Subdivision for the Buffalo Grove Center, dated February 25, 1982,
to the Village Board. Commissioner Reid seconded the motion.
Discussion:
Commissioner Goldspiel questioned the absence of language indicating
vacating a portion of a subdivision.
Mr. Dieter stated they are subdividing another part of a subdivision which
ends it.
Mr. Raysa stated he could go along with the surveyor on this.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel regarding lighting
in the parking lot, Mr. Truesdell stated that is normally gone over
by the engineer and the Appearance Commission. The Plan Commission is
not approving those lights tonight. He further stated that he had no
problem with the parking now that the building had been moved.
In response to a question from Commissioner Kaszubowski, Mr. Truesdell
stated the plat had been looked at in relation to Exhibit A.
Commissioner Goldspiel questioned the notation "N. I. C. " on the two out
buildings.
Mr. Dieter felt it could mean "not in-contract".
In response to a question from Commissioner Krug, Mr. Truesdell stated the park-
ing spaces have been moved but they are still in compliance with the
requirements for handicap parking. He would have to double check the
building code but the building department does check that every requirement
is met.
Commissioner Goldspiel recommended that the motion be revised to indicate
that approval of Out Buildings C and B not be included in the approval
of the plat. The motion was so amended.
AYES: Commissioners Sheldon, Davis, Reid, Kaszubowski, Krug
NAYES: Commissioner Goldspiel
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: Commissioner Glover
The motion passed 5 - 1.

Commissioner Goldspiel again stated that he voted against approval of
the plat solely because of the Cable TV easement and not because of the
plat.
In response to a question from Commissioner Sheldon, Mr. Eisenberg
stated they will break ground in April, 1982 and open in November, 1982.
PLAT OF DEDICATION - BUFFALO GROVE ROAD
Commissioner Goldspiel moved recommending approval to the Village Board
of the Plat of Dedication for Buffalo Grove Road, dated January 18, 1982.

WYNNEDALE
Mr. Freedman stated this plan will be developed by Lexington Development
Corporation. It is a substantially improved plan over the last one,
which was approved in concept. It has eliminated the construction north
of the creek. The density has been reduced from 288 units to 250 units
and the two buildings at the north eastern end have been removed.
Mr. Glyman stated the developer has one access point at Arlington Heights
Road with two outbound and two inbound moving lanes turning into three
major areas of development. The units range from six to fourteen units
to a building in a two story variety. The garages are enclosed. Approxi�
mately 600 of the units will have garages. However, the developer is not
firm on this. There is a centrally located clubhouse facility with a pool.
Open space and setbacks are consistent with the zoning. They are proposing
private streets. The detention is centrally located in the northern part
of the site. Along the southern property line they have tried not to front
or back any of the units up to the parking lot of the Trammel Crow Office
Park. They are trying to take maximum exposure of the golf course.
Mr. Freedman responded to the statements made on the memo to the Plan
Commission from Mr. Truesdell dated February 26, 1982 titled Wynnedale
Subdivision - Staff Review.

ation lane,

for it. It is a fairly recent installation and it is a burden on the
plan.
Mr. Piggott stated they feel there is a limited amount of space in the
right-of-way with a 5' bike path. It could be put in with a very tight
bike path to the road. There is no right turn lane provided on Arlington Heights
Road or Dundee Road or along Route 83. Neither is there a right turn lane
on Checker Road or Bernard Drive.
Mr. Goldspiel pointed out that everything south of Lake/Cook Road is
at a reduced speed.
Mr. Piggott pointed out that the bike path would be very close to the
deceleration lane.
Mr. Truesdell stated that this was a comment from the Village Manager.
Staff feels it was something that would add to the functional ability
of Arlington Heights Road. In terms of Checker Road, there is a plan to
put a traffic signal there.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Truesdell stated
that staff checked the site distance for this development and they found
no problem with it.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Truesdell stated
the right turn lane was omitted on the old plan because of an oversight.
4+) South Property Line - Using Office Detention As A Recreational Facility
Mr. Freedman stated they are against this. They do not want to mix
a residential area with a business park. There are some legal problems
involved with this.
Mr. Truesdell stated the thought was that there would be a large open
area back there open to the residents along with the bike path coming up
to the business park and there is the possibility it would be good if
that facility could be used for something other than a green area.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Truesdell stated
he believed the Park District is now giving some kind of credit for de-
tention areas.
5) Infrastructure - Third Item
Mr. Freedman stated some of the sidewalks in the interior streets do not
connect. They felt with the nature of the size of these streets it is
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission
Regular Meeting
March 3, 1982

not necessary to extend the sidewalks. You could walk across the paved
areas.
Mr. Truesdell pointed out that in certain areas they dead end and staff
felt it would be good to connect the sidewalks up.
PAGE 4 - Planning Department 1) Item Two - Provision Of A Bridge Over Buffalo Creek
Mr. Freedman - We would like to have the opportunity to study this further.
From the standpoint of engineering we feel it would be difficult to span
that creek with a bridge and comply with your ordinance. We do not want
to create any problems with the IDOT permit. If those two matters can be
provided for we are amenable to providing the bike path in that fashion.
We do need some kind of relief from your Flood Plain Ordinance or we will
have to run a bridge some 220 feet.
Commissioner Sheldon stated that she lives on Burnt Ember Lane. This
site will be within walking distance of schools. The children walking to
school could go down Arlington Heights Road. Once they get to the inter-
section of Checker Road and Arlington Heights Road they would have to
cross to get to the sidewalk on the north side. Her child can jump the creek.
Mr. Davis stated the children will go over the bridge to get to school.
However, there is the problem of getting them from the bridge up Checker
Road.
Mr. Freedman did not think that was a problem provided the other aspects
of the plan can be worked out. They could extend the sidewalk.
Mr. Truesdell felt the sidewalks should be connected up.
Fire Department - 1) and Planning Department 1) Item Four
Mr. Freedman stated they did not feel that a second access point should
be made on Arlington Heights Road. They are prepared to provide some sort
of emergency access further south through the business park. There is
not enough room to do that between the three cul-de-sacs.
Item Three
Mr. Freedman stated they are amenable to dedicating the main streets in
the development provided that the right-of-way is varied from 43. 5 feet.
They are agreeable to constructing the sidewalks from four to five feet
but would request that the sidewalks be constructed on one side of the street.

Item Six
Regarding the increase of the setback on the eastern edge of the plan
Mr. Freedmen felt that the setback can be increased but they did not know
if it can be increased to 50'. They will have to look into that.
Mr. Freedman referred to the memo from Mr. Kuenkler to Mr. Truesdell
dated February 19, 1982 titled Proposed Development Arlington Heights
Road and Checker Drive Concept Plan Review.
Comments Item One - Provision Of Detention For The Park
They have considerable problem with this. Mr. Freedman then briefly
reviewed the history of this site. He stated that this northern piece
was being donated to the Village. It will be vacant land. Inasmuch as
there is some compensatory storage that is going to be provided they are
going to regrade, those areas that are regraded will be reseeded. They do
not feel they should be required to put in detention.
Commissioner Davis pointed out that the referendum that failed on this
site was to keep it as prairie or in its natural state.
Mr. Kuenkler pointed out that the ordinance requires detention and there
is no variation authority in the detention law.
Mr. Raysa stated he would take a look at the ordinance regarding this
question.
Mr. Truesdell stated the Park District submitted some comments after :.his
memo ;as written. One comment was that the bridge would have to be
ten feet wide so that they could get their lawnmowers over it. They
also asked if the compensatory storage design north of the creek will be
of such a nature that it could be used for recreational purposes.
Mr. Freedman stated they were in agreement with the rest of the staff
report.
Mr. Bianchini briefly explained the product. He stated that because of
the physical character of the property there are a number of problems
and it necessitated a redesign o2 the product. These are units similar to
coach houses but without garages. They can step the buildings down in
increments to conform with the land. They are proposing to keep some of
the open park with buildings of an architectural flair similar to those
at the International Village. The parking facilities are tucked into the
ground. The colonial design is a combination of siding and brick. It is
a stacked unit. They have designed a product that will give better utiliza-

tion of the corner units. They will all have their own entrance. The
other units will have common entrances. The size of the unit will average
a little over 1,100 square feet. The price will probably be in the area
of the high fifties to the high sixties.
In response to a question from Commissioner Sheldon, Mr. Bianchini stated
that each unit will have a balcony.
Mr. Freedman stated this piece of land has had problems for many years.
One of the goals of the Village was to get it developed with a reasonable
density and get the land north of the creek dedicated to the Village. You
are getting that with this plan. This is really an opportunity to develop
this piece with an excellent developer.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Bianchini stated
they will start construction as soon as the engineering is approved.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Freedman stated
that Lexington Development Corporation will be the sole owner of the
property and they will develop it. They nave the financial resources
to develop it.
In response to a question from Commissioner Sheldon, Mr. Bianchini stated
the overall theme is basically a colonial exterior with brick and siding
that are compatible. The roof is a normal composition shingle that looks
like shake.
In response to a question from Commissioner Sheldon, Mr. Bianchini stated
that there will be dumpsters but they are not noted on the plan. Utilities
will be in the buildings. They have not designed the locations of the
air conditioning units yet.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Bianchini stated
the units will have gas heat.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Freedman stated
the major problem that stopped the other plan from going ahead was
the grading of the area north of the creek. Then the market changed.
Mr. Piggott stated they have about 30' of grade differential on the site.
They wound up encroaching on the flood plan. They had a problem with the
detention. There would have had to be a 14' retaining wall and they could
not market something like that. It was unbuildable.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Piggott stated
that in the new plan they drop building levels as the grade drops. They
will have a lot of relief on the site but will not have a 14+' retaining wall.

Commissioner Goldspiel stated that the profusion of garages reminded
him of a Chicago alley and it seems to be a very congested street scape.
Mr. Glyman stated that in certain situations were the garages parallel
the road system the area directly in front of the garage or street side of
the garages will be bermed and landscaped. It will look like a fence element
set in the landscape. The developer is not sure how many garages he is
going to offer. Bather than put the garages fifteen feet away from the
units they pulled them to the other side of the drive so that there would
be some space. When they did cluster garages it could be possible to set
the garages adjacent to the office park screening the residential area
from the office park. The area could be landscaped near the garages.
Mr. Bianchini stated they are not sure how many garages they are going to
put in.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated the two problems with this plan were the
traffic pattern, which seemed to him a difficult one and a need for pedestrain
access for the school or bus service. The cul-de-sacs, garages and townhouse
area has a problem in his opinion. The buildings should not be parallel
to each other. It seems to be an undesirable plan at the present time.
Mr. Bianchini stated one of the reasons the coach houses work is that
everyone of the units looks out onto the green belts. They tried to
maximize the distance between buildings. From the inside out it is very
important for the people to get these green belts working.
Mr. Truesdell pointed out the next workshop on this project would be
scheduled as soon as the landscape and phasing plans were received.
DEVELOPER CHECK LIST
1 Deceleration Lane
1
Commissioner Davis stated that he did not see the need for the right turn
lane. There is none on Checker Road or anywhere along Arlington Heights
Road.
Mr. Truesdell stated the Village Manager stated he is not sure if the
county would give a permit for the deceleration lane. They will investi-
gate it further and get back to the Plan Commission.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Mr. Bianchini stated
they are bringing the storm water to the property line.
Mr. Truesdell pointed out that a 20" water main on Arlington Heights Road
and a 16" water main along Checker Drive were required.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission

Mr. Bianchini stated they are prepared to build that.
South Property Line
Commissioner Reid stated she felt the developers point was well taken on
that issue.
Sidewalk System
Commissioner Goldspiel felt that they need an indication or a study of
pedestrain access.
Mr. Bianchini stated that the landscape plan will show how this will work.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis, Commissioner Goldspiel
stated he considered a bike path for pedestrain use.
Emergency Access from the Business Park
Commissioner Reid felt a secondary access through the business park
was a good idea.
In response to a question from Commissioner Davis regarding leaving the
land north of the creek in its natural state, Mrs. Knaak stated she did
not think the Park District said they did not want to accept that. They
would leave it passive and as open land. Regarding the fact that it would
be left to the Village rather than the Park District, Mrs. Knaak said
she had no recollection of that.
Mr. Truesdell stated he would have a meeting with Mr. Piggott on this
before the next workshop.
Bridge and Bike Path
Mr. Truesdell felt it was essential to the bike path route that it be
connected up.
Mr. Freedman stated they will study it.
Dedicate Streets If They Could Be Made 43.5 Feet Wide
Commissioner Goldspiel felt the Village should continue its policy of
requiring all streets to be dedicated.
Regarding the right-of-way Commissioner Goldspiel would like to hear
eventually from the engineering people as to the problems that would arise.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission
Regular Meeting
March 3, 1982

Sidewalk Going From Four to Five Feet On One Side Of The Street
Mr. Truesdell stated he looked at the standard right-of-way and it should
be required specifically in subdivisions for single family. In this case
the front of the buildings face the street, at the most some of the sides
of some of the buildings face out into the street. They all face the
green open belts. He did not feel it was necessary. Therefore, they have
enough room for the utilities.
Commissioner Goldspiel wanted to see the whole picture before allowing this.
Emergency Access To The South And Back Of The Cul-de-sacs
Mr. Truesdell felt if there were some type of access in case the roadway
was blocked it would help solve this problem.
Mr. Glyman responding to Commissioner Goldspiel's comments, pointed out
that there were no narrow streets. They all are twenty-seven feet wide.
There is nothing that is substandard.
Commissioner Goldspiel pointed out the Village has a policy of no cul-
de-sacs over five hundred feet. He felt this plan contained some of these.
If there was some pedestrain access it would also provide emergency
access and improve the plan.
East Side Of The Property Increased Between 30' and 50'
Mr. Truesdell stated the idea was to save the tree line and put the bike
path in. The trees on the site near the buildings are dead or dying. The
rest of the trees are within two hundred feet of the creek and they will
stay.
Mr. Glyman pointed out the trees will not be inhibited by the engineering.
They are basically wet land trees and will survive.
Detention For The Land To The North
Mr. Raysa is going to look into this point.
Commissioner Goldspiel pointed out that the Park District has yet to
comment on this.
MC DONALD'S RESOLUTION
Chairman Shields pointed out the property is zoned but they need to get a
special use to have a restaurant there. They need a variation on the
parking which is probably the hardest thing for them to get. They have to
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission
Regular Meeting
March 3, 1982
• _ 14 _
get the parking somewhere. The people from Longfellow and Cooper Schools
have been very concerned about the children crossing the street and with
the prospect of having a fast food store in a residential area. The
neighbors have a petition with three hundred signatures on it.
Commissioner Sheldon asked why the Village of Buffalo Grove hasn't gone
to their meetings and protested.
Mr. Truesdell had attended the last meeting . They are at the very beginning
of the process. They had not had a staff review yet.
Chairman Shields stated that as of Sunday, February 28, 1982, the Arlington
Heights Plan Commission had not met on it and it had to go to the Village
Board.
In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Truesdell stated
they have not received a sign package yet. They felt it would be in next
week. They will notify us when it comes in.
Chairman Shields stated this particular lot was zoned commercial against
the protests of Buffalo Grove and the property owners. The concession
was that they were going to have a twenty-five foot landscape easement
There is a residential lot across the street and next to the proposed
restaurant.
Commissioner Sheldon moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval
of the proposed resolution for the Arlington Heights Mc Donald's to the
Village Board.

introduce themselves. There were three.
FUTURE AGENDA
Mr. Truesdell stated that there is nothing ready for the March 17, 1982
