Approval was unanimous in favor, with Commissioners Davis and Rhodes abstaining, and the motion passed. Li COMMITTEE & LIAISON REPORTS None BCS PROPERTY'S OFFICE BUILDING - Workshop #3 Mr. Schwartz noted they have reconfigured the design to make the foot print of the building 3,200 square feet with a basement; the total floor area would be 6,200 square feet. A stormwater detention area has been added to the north end of the site. Parking has been re-evaluated, and 34 spaces will be provided which meets the requirement for medical/dental office uses. They have met with the Park District and received approval to run a pipe through the site into the Park District's Cambridge Park lake without increasing the size of the lake. Mr. Baigelman noted the building is in the same location as the previous plan. Under B-3 zoning, a setback of 50 feet from the residential property to the east is required. The actual land use to the east is a park, not homes. The building is setback 34' from the park and will be landscaped and buffered. It will be masonry and brick in earth tones. The circulation works the same as previously with a one way drive and parking in the back. The drive has been shifted. The 12' landscaped buffer is all screened. They have added more green space at the entrance. The will site will drain to the end of the development near the shopping center and all of the water will be detained on the property with a discharge through the park. The lighting is the same configuration as previously proposed. Mr. Schwartz stated they will allow the Park District to use their parking at night or on Saturday and Sundays when they are not using the site. It is not being built so that another story can be added on in the future. The mechanicals will be screened on the roof. The side slope variations is necessary in order to detain the amount of water required. Commissioner Goldspiel reviewed the list of permitted uses and did not agree with an animal hospital, pet shop, dry cleaner or restaurant use for this site. He would like to have this list reviewed by the building department to see if there is anything that is unsuitable for this building. He also suggested that the handicap parking be marked with a different color pavement or material so that it stands out. Commissioner Davis suggested that the handicap parking space not only be treated as suggested by Commissioner Goldspiel but that an upright sign be installed. BILLINGS PROPERTY - Workshop #2 Mr. Brubaker pointed out that they have altered their plan for the alignment of local streets with Buffalo Grove Road, there is detention on the southeast, they will buffer the site from the B-3 use on the south and buffer the rear of the lots along Buffalo Grove Road. Two major changes were the reconfiguration with a direct access to the Zale site off of Buffalo Grove Road and a 4 way intersection at the north half of the site. Their access to the Zale site is not Zale's major access. There are the same number of lots and same design standards. He would like to have reconfigured the south end but it did not work. The detention pond was reconfigured and they are 2 ponds now which will handle the requirements of the site. Lots 10 and 11, near the Zale wetlands, will become part of the detention area and they will add two lots as a continuation of Lots 8 and 9. This will not effect the wetlands on the Zale site at all. The buffer on the south property line could occur on the B-3 site if the grocery store was moved. They should plan a transition between the two properties. The buffer on the rear of the lots that back up to Buffalo Grove Road would consist of a vinyl-clad fence with landscaping at Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Special Meeting April 13, 1988 Page 2 various locations near the fence. Mr. Pfeil stated Mr. Carmignani feels this configuration is acceptable, that Lots 18 and 19 should not have access on Buffalo Grove Road. It was suggested that the village traffic consultant review the traffic on Buffalo Grove Road draining off onto the Zale site and the side street before that intersection. Mr. Stromburg noted the detention basins would be dry with underdrains. The north pond will drain the entire 48 acres on the north end of the site. The remainder of the property, about 12 acres, will drain in the south pond in a south and east direction. The south detention will be released slowly, some into the wetlands and some into the storm sewer system. It will not effect the wetlands. The sanitary sewer connection will be made on the south end of the property. It is their intention that the detention ponds will be maintained by the Park District. Mr. Pfeil noted that Mr. Rylko is interested in active park space from this development. Mr. Pfeil felt the Park District would not want to maintain the ponds. Commissioner Goldspiel felt that there was a need for park space. Chairman Sheldon would like to know the details on green areas adjacent to the site and park land available adjacent to the site for the public hearing. She would also like to see some information on the detention that is next to the wetlands and assurance that it would not harm the wetlands. Mr. Taylor stated they will provide sidewalks on both sides of Buffalo Grove Road and probably eliminate walks on the secondary streets. He had given some consideration to putting walks on the back of the lots. He would like to keep this development as close to estate type zoning as possible. Chairman Sheldon stated some kind of pedestrian system should be in the development as children will be walking to catch a bus and people do walk for their health. Mr. Taylor restated that the variation on the setbacks was for the side loaded garages and would bring renderings of this for the next meeting.
