AMENDMENT & PRELIMINARY PLAN Mr. Green, with the aid of Exhibit 3 reviewed the former plan. With the aid of Exhibit 4, the new modified plan, he explained that: 1. The setback on the townhomes and massing of them has been altered. They have increased the rear yard setback to 40' . They have maintained the angle orientation of Buildings C and D so that they are 60' from the east end of the lot line. 2. They have increased the front yard to 25' , the minimum depth from a garage door to the street. 3. The townhomes will be 27' high at the peak of the roof. They have 3 and 4 unit buildings instead of 6 unit buildings. Buildings A and B are 3 units and have the least impact on the single family. 4. They have shown the surrounding uses around the site. 5. They did not reduce the density from the closest building to the golf course lot line. 6. In order to avoid the main road becoming a cut through they have separate entrance and exit provisions using a center island. On the exit side there would be a free standing exit gate that would open for any car to pass. 7. The end units have wing windows at the rear separation of the condominium buildings which will give a view from the living room out through the buildings. 8. They will provide the extension of the bike path down Church Street providing the Village finds a right-of-way. 9. They have developed a sidewalk system to connect the buildings which goes into the bike path system. 10. The emergency access point will be through the police station secured parking lot at the northeast corner. 11. The buffer between the golf course and the site will also be developed. Some discussion then took place regarding the use of a fence along the golf course lot line. Mr. Green then reviewed the revised site and zoning sheet contained the the packet dated June 7, 1988. Mr. Vane said he reviewed the site with both Messrs Kuenkler and Molinaro. Storm water drains to the west and into the pond which then releases the water into the creek. The water will travel over the surface into the pond. There will always be 6 acres of water in the pond which will be 10' deep. The pond will have to raise 6' of water before it will encroach on the other areas of the golf course. The pond will be built to Village ordinance. They will require a variation for Enkamat on the pond. This project will stub a sanitary sewer line to the single-family area to the east. The closest home is 18' to the property line on the east side. Mr. Martin reviewed the landscape berming, the buffer and screening to the homes to the east and the entrance to the police secured parking lot, how they will treat the golf course screening and screening from Checker Road frontage. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - June 15, 1988 - Page 2 They will provide a 5' cyclone fence on the golf course property adjacent to the site. . The fence would not affect the view through. The fence could possibly be vinyl. Mr. Green noted that having the sidewalk on the west side of the street gives an internal paved loop as opposed to installing a sidewalk along the townhome side of the street. The Commission was polled as to sidewalks on the townhome side of the main street. Yes indicating favoring the sidewalks on the opposite side of the street from the townhomes. AYES: Goldspiel, Krug, Rhodes, Howard, Braiman, Case, Rubin and Rosenston NAYES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: None The poll was favorable 8 - 0. The first phase will contain Condominium Building 5 and Townhome Building F and proceed from north to south. The pool and clubhouse will be constructed in the first phase. Mr. Pfeil noted Mr. Carmignani was not enthusiastic about the exit gates to Church and Checker Roads. . Staff was directed to: 1. Consult with Mr. Molinaro concerning fencing and landscaping along the Golf Course. 2. Check with the Police Department to see if the fence should go down behind the police station for security 3. Give the Commission more information for the public hearing on how the drainage works going into the lake and the impact on the golf course. 4. The health aspect regarding the septic fields in the Circle Drive area. 5. The financial burden for the single family homes along Circle Drive to connect to the Village sanitary sewer system. 6. Review Church Street right-of-way to determine where the bike path should go. Chairman Sheldon called a break at 9:14 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 9:24 P.M. ROGERS CENTER FOR COMMERCE (ARBOR CREEK) INDUSTRIAL P.U.D. Mr. Schmitz gave a slide presentation depicting some of the sites they own, manage or have converted and sold. He stated their project is a single story face brick and masonry, on all sides building, which will have steel joists and a flat roof. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - June 15, 1988 - Page 3 1. They have eliminated the drive on the northeast corner off of Barclay Boulevard south of Aptakisic Road. 2. They have narrowed the interior truck court to 100' and distributed the extra 20' in green spaces along the buildings and the west property line. 3. They have added planting areas in the parking lot which is 18.6' x 9' . 4. They have decreased the number of truck docks by 33%. Mr. Poliak briefly reviewed the landscaping. They have tried to buffer the buildings and complement the architecture lines. Mr. Schmitz noted they feel the project will create jobs in the area and increase the tax base. Ms. Rogers stated they will adjust the 35' setback from Barclay and do not see this as a hardship. Chairman Sheldon suggested the developer consider making a place by the lake to sit and enjoy the view and to consider a path around the lake. Mr. Schmitz pointed out they intend to move the snow into the wetlands. They do not salt their developments, they use sand. They expect a 2 year build out. The first phase will be the north portion and they feel it will be 40 to 50% rented before they open the doors. He also stated there would be no common vending areas in the building. Their tenants would provide their own lunch rooms. The users will be light dis- tribution, warehousing, service and sales and light assembly. Phase #1 will have 26 tenants and Phase 2 will have 32. Commissioner Goldspiel was concerned that this project meet the criteria for the Arbor Creek development that were included in the annexation agreement. He felt that a side yard was required next to the wetlands and it was unacceptable to push snow in there. The Commission would like more information on possible damage to the wetlands if snow was put into it. Mr. Rogers pointed out they are not looking for a large user tenant. They gear their business to small users. There will not be any windows in the truck court. There is a man door into the truck area in addition to the overhead doors. The rental would be $6 to $6.50 per square foot triple net range. Commissioner Krug suggested opening up the north end of the building for security and safety reasons and for police patrol. Commissioner Braiman was concerned with the green space and would like to see more on the site. The questions to be answered were: Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - June 15, 1988 - Page 4 1. Alignment of the back to increase the green space. 2.
