Roadways on the Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting January 20, 1982 1 - 3 - Comprehensive Plan are knows as highwasy and major streets. From the stand- point of design it makes very little difference, what is important is the speed and volume of the road. There is no problem with this. Parkway - In response to a question from Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Boysex replied that normally there would be 1' between the sidewalk and the edge of the right-of-way. It could read the area between the back curb and the sidewalk or the back curb and the right-of-way.

Mr. Boysex would check with the Village Attorney on this. 16.20.020 - Preliminary Plan Filing Procedure Commissioner Kaszubowski stated that the ordinance is talking about the concept plan and then jumps to the preliminary plan. Mr. Boysex stated the concept plan was created from comments received from the staff, from planning, the Village Manager and the Plan Commission. The Commission had expressed a desire to make it simpler to move the frost portion of the review submittal initiation process so we did not require the full preliminary plan which is described ix the front section, but a concept plan for which only a few items are required. AU we do with the concept plan is look at it and give indications about it. The developer then can go ahead but he has not been forced to make a large initial outlay. Ix response to a question from Commissioner Kaszubowski, Mr. Kuenkler replied that in paragraph B, line 2 it should be concept plan not preliminary plan. The engineering fee ix the next paragraph should be ix another section. Ix response to a question from Commissioner Glover, Mr. Truesdell stated the clerk distributed the 30 copies of the concept plan. The first 20 go to the Village Board, file, staff, Park District. The last 10 are distributed among other staff members for review and comments. Commissioner Kaszubowski voiced her feeling that as the ordinance states, if any revisions are required, 20 prints of the revised plass will be required 21 days prior to the public hearing. She felt this should be strictly adhered to. The Commission concurred.
