Chairman Shields read the notice of the public hearing as published in
newspapers. He informed the audience of the format the meeting would take
and then swore in Messrs DeGrazia, Bieszczad, and Wandry.
Mr. DeGrazia stated they are attempting to amend the site plan that is
already approved. The approved plan is for 212 units. There is a sidewalk
on Armstrong. They will attempt to shorten the cul-de-sacs ten feet to allow
for more parking if it can be done. They are now at 2.6 parking spaces per
unit versus 2.0 that is required. The new plan has 180 units. The original
landscaping for the old plan was about half of what is budgeted for the new
plan. The old plan had covered parking for 70% of the units and the new plan
has covered parking for every unit. The new plan is a private gate
community. They are asking for several variations which had been previously
reviewed by the board. The development will be called Le Parc. He showed a
rendering of the logo. There will be 24 hour security on the gate. He
explained the detention as previously presented. There will be drains in the
court yards that will go out into the storm sewer.
Mr. Truesdell pointed out that the atrium technically calls for a variation
to the ordinance, but felt the intent of the ordinance was something
different. He also pointed out that the development is abutting residential
and that requires that the fence not be more than five feet high.
Mr. DeGrazia noted the fence will be similar to the one at
Cambridge-on-the-Lakes.
In response to Mr. Musfeldt's suggestion, Mr. DeGrazia did not believe they
would have the room to make the cul-de-sacs like a boulevard. They did not
feel the parking was that much of a problem.
In response to Mr. Walder it was noted that this project would only generate
thirty-five children.
Mr. Truesdell explained the zoning of the surrounding property for Mr.
Walder.
Ms. Schurf did not like the sidewalk on Armstrong and would rather see shrubs
than a fence.
Ms. Rosenfeldt agreed with Ms. Schurf.
Mr. Truesdell stated the school donation will be a cash donation based on
Title 19. He presented the board with a letter from Mr. DeLance dated
December 1, 1983 to Mr. Truesdell regarding this development.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated he opposed this development because:
1) He did not like the concept of a closed community being so close
to the center of the Village.
2) He felt it could not work because it does not have recreational
facilities.
3) The units are too crowded.
4) The absence of guest parking will be a problem.
5) He would like to see more affordable units built.
Mr. DeGrazia stated:
1) He felt people would recreate outside this development.
2) There are buyers seeking the intimate feel of this site.
3) Everyone does not want the same density.
4) Guest parking would not be a problem.
5) He respected Commissioner Goldspiel's opinion regarding pricing
of the units but this is their price structure.
6) The streets will be built as wide as any subdivision. The

Association will have a fund to cover their repair.
Commissioner Goldberg briefly reviewed Mr. DeGrazia's memo to Mr. Truesdell
of November 29, 1983 and Mr. Truesdell's memo to the Plan Commission of
December 2, 1983 titled Northwood Grove Unit II - Preliminary Plan.
Mr. Raysa suggested the motion for this site be subject to review of the
final PUD's regarding access for the Village.
Chairman Shields closed the public hearing at 9:50 P.M.

Chairman Shields read the notice of the public hearing and informed the
audience of the format the meeting would take. He then swore in Ms. Singer,
Messrs Brim and Haeger.
Ms. Singer explained the plan was brought before the Plan Commission on
October 17, 1983 and November 2, 1983 in workshop session. They have
reviewed the staff comments and have complied with everything the Commission
was concerned with, a site location map illustrating the curb cuts was drawn
up, they added a curb on the south of the property and put the detention area
underground.
In response to Commissioner Goldberg, Ms. Singer stated from a standpoint of
cost the covered detention is more expensive.
Mr. Haeger stated the way this is designed the parking lot will not drain
onto Buffalo Grove Road. The only site drainage onto Buffalo Grove Road is
at the entrance which slopes down to the road and there is no way they can
take care of that. The new curb will not have any affect on the detention
system.

In response to Chairman Shields, Mr. Kuenkler stated they do not comply with
the Village minimum parking lot pavement thickness standards.
Mr. Brim noted they will meet the requirements but feel it is unreasonable.
Mr. Koch stated he has two detention basins and one only fills occasionally.
He will get together with staff to see if it could be covered over.
Commissioner Goldspiel suggested looking at the ordinance that permits this
building to be on the property line. He was not comfortable with this.
In response to Commissioner Goldspiel, Mr. Kuenkler did not feel there was
anything that could be done regarding turns out of the cycle shop and this
development. Both locations have relatively low volumes.
Chairman Shields closed the public hearing at 8.10 P.M.
