September 3, 1986 Chairman Goldspiel called the public hearing to order at 7:35 P.M. in the Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove, Illinois. Commissioners Present: Chairman Goldspiel Mr. Musfeldt Mr. Gal Mr. Rhodes Mr. Katz Commissioners Absent: Ms. Sheldon Mr. Davis Mr. Krug Ms. Kaszubowski Also Present: Mr. T. Conrardy, Developer Mr. M. Norkett, Developer Mr. C. Cohen, School District 102 Representative Mr. G. Glover, Village Trustee Mr. R. Kuenkler, Village Engineer Ms. B. Dolan, Staff Planner Chairman Goldspiel read the notice of the public hearing as published in the Buffalo Grove Herald and informed the audience of the format the meeting would take. He then swore in Messrs. Conrardy and Norkett. Mr. Conrardy briefly reviewed the history of the site. They are requesting preliminary plan approval. They are not asking for any changes or variations from their plan. It meets the ordinance and requirements of the Village. They wanted to have all the engineering and requirements met before coming before the Commission and that is why they missed their last meeting. On the present plan they have shown the sidewalks, the pork chop is increased as sketched. The side, back and front views are shown. The property is already in the Village. This is part of a PUD they were not part of. It came into the Village zoned B-1. They are not requesting a zoning change. The original parcel was 12 acres and this was shown as a separate lot. In response to Mr. Cohen, Mr. Conrardy stated the back of the lot will be bermed. There is 80' of green belt between the property and the residential area. The dumpsters will be screened. Mr. Kuenkler stated the Village has entered into an agreement with the county for a light at Weiland and Busch Roads which should be in when the center is completed. There is a 30' service drive which is sufficient for 2 cars to pass. There would be no long term parking behind the building. There is a 120' right-of-way on Busch Road. Mr. Conrardy reviewed Mr. Kuenkler's August 25, 1986 memo to Mr. Truesdell titled Highlands Commercial Preliminary Plan Review. 1. Their engineer will show Busch and Weiland Roads improvements as proposed by Zale on the plan. 2. They would like to see where their obligation starts and the Village's ends regarding Weiland. Without that access their center will fail. 3. Busch Road entrance is designated. A larger pork chop should be installed, according to Mr. Kuenkler, and the developer felt that they could accommodate it. 4. They will connect downspouts to the storm sewer. The overall building height will be 14' or 15' including the HVAC on the roof toward the rear of the building. The bike path will be the sidewalk. They are talking to convenience type tenants. None of the stores will be 24 hour operation. There will be no parking in the fire lane. They will try to keep the large trees. The detention requirement has been met for this parcel. The bike path is on Busch Road (8') and Weiland Road (5') . The residential to the west will be slightly lower than their site. The right-of-way on Weiland has been changed from 45' to 51' . Mr. Cohen stated Weiland is a 50 mph street and he feels the speed limit should be lowered. As there are 2 commercial centers in that area, he felt this speed could be a hazard. Trustee Glover shared Commissioner Rhodes' concerns with the trees. Some of them are 26", 34" and 36" in diameter. He would like to see the plan altered to save more trees in the parking lot. Mr. Conrardy agreed. The final engineering will determine which trees will stay. There will be a bike rack at the north end of the building. Chairman Goldspiel closed the public hearing at 8:18 P.M.

DOMINION SUBDIVISION, LOT 2 - PRELIMINARY PLAN Mr. Rice stated this is a 6,000 square foot retail center zoned B-2. He reviewed the history of the site. They feel that they will have 3 or 4 retail shops. The exterior will be black brick. They presented a revised plan showing screening from the county residential, one handicap parking space (which is sufficient) additional parking as required by the village, a shielded refuse area, the drive widened to 26' with 28 parking spaces that are 9' x 18.6' . The back corridor is 3.5' down from a 5' side walk to accommodate the increase in the drive. The drive entrance is 24' . Chairman Goldspiel stated there has historically been major problems with detention and traffic on this site. Mr. Soltan stated they plan to put the detention area in the front similar to the Schwinn shop. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting September 3, 1986 - Page 2 As to the water coming from off site going across their land, they would have to look into this. Mr. Kuenkler stated the flow of water is coming from one single family home over Buffalo Grove Road and would not be a problem. The grades along the back of the lot would match up to the Schwinn lot and the drive would continue on to the site. Mr. Rice referred to Mr. Carmignani's August 26, 1986 memo to Mr. Truesdell titled "Project 320.21 Dominion Subdivision Plan Review". He further stated they are considering a real estate office on site. The rear walk would be 3.5' and adjacent to a parking lot. The grades would be the same. The walk will not go out to Buffalo Grove Road Commissioner Rhodes would like a sidewalk along Buffalo Grove Road and in front of the last building. Mr. Rice noted they would like to have a sign at the entrance pivot point at the corner of Busch and Weiland Roads. Employee parking will be at the back of the lot. Mr. Soltan stated they could accommodate the sidewalk for the last store which could be a cleaners. According to the site line study, you can see the entire building. The rear and the back of the building will be the same treatment as the side of the last store. The loading zone was decreased with the new plan. It is according to code. The detention area will be separate from the Schwinn detention area. They could reshape the handicap parking space so that it would not be intrusive. The Commission would like the developer to: 1. Show sidewalk in front of the last building. 2. Show sidewalk on Buffalo Grove Road. 3. Treatment of the handicap space compatible with the sidewalk rather than the parking lot. 4. Reconfiguration of the building. 5. Show the detention. 6. A few cars sketched on the parking lot of the Schwinn lot. 7. Sketch of the screen for the green space of the parking. 8. Present overall plan showing the Schwin, St. Paul Savings and subject properties in that area and the connecting driveways across Buffalo Grove Road. Mr. Soltan stated they would be using a 6 to 1 slope in the front of the site and provide whatever type of detention they are required. Mr. Mirro felt that if they could not get this project going this winter they probably would not build it. Mr. Rice stated they would move the handicap space and eliminate parking in front of the building. The Commission determined this plan could go to a public hearing when all the necessary material is received by staff. However, if the water does not work it would come back for another workshop.
