Vice 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. Crestani, White, Manhard and Zale.
The exhibits were those contained in Mr. Pfeil's February 19, 1988 memo to
the Plan Commission titled Glauner Property and Exhibits A, B, C and X.
Commissioner Lundine stated he would participate but would abstain from
voting because of a possible conflict of interest on this item.
Mr. Crestani briefly reviewed the location of the site and its zoning.
Mr. Raysa stated that at the last public hearing on this site the legal
description for Parcel 11 was not included. The variations to the Zoning
p
Ordinance and Development Ordinance was included on the entire site. The
Village did not advertise for the zoning from R-E to R-2 on the R-E parcel.
The variations from the last hearing were also published again but have been
approved already. The Commission will only act on rezoning the 16 acre piece
that was advertised.
Mr. White reviewed the sanitary sewer and watermain plan along with the
street and drainage plan and the variations to the ordinances published.
Regarding the tile on the east side of Buffalo Grove Road that emptied into
the ditch, Mr. White noted they plan to intercept it and connect it up as
part of 'the Woodlands of Fiore project storm sewer.
He pointed out that the variation for Lots 25 through 30, being within 100'
of the center line of the creek, is a tributary to a main branch of the
creek. The structures would be elevated above the flood plain elevations.
The 25' from the high water mark has been modified so as not to be a problem.
Mr. Raysa noted the annexation agreement draft did not cover this property.
The balance of the property is subject to become part of the annexation
agreement. The annexation covers the balance of the property but not this 16
acre and preliminary plan. The Plan Commission's previous recommendation to
the Village Board did not allow buildings within 100' of the center line, the
petitioner is requesting that such building be allowed.
Mr. White noted the State does not allow do any modification of the floodway;
the Buffalo Grove ordinance does not allow structures within 100' of the
center line of the creek. Floodway is that portion that conveys the flood
water. Floodplain is that portion that becomes inundated during the flood.
The State Statute does not speak to floodway, it speaks to floodplain. There
is a portion of Lot 25 that was floodway. The lot lines have been modified
on Lot 25 . He concurs that there would not be any retention, floodway or
floodplain waters on any of the lots. They have regraded the floodway. If
regrading in the floodway is not allowed under State law, these lots in
questions would not be buildable.
Mr. Kuenkler has reviewed this new plan and there is no storm water
management on the lots. He is not concerned that there would be a structure
within 100' of the creek.
Mr. Crestani noted the lake will not be maintained by the Village surrounding
it or by a homeowners association. There will be a hard edge around it.
Mr. Goodjohn's was concerned with the heavy rainfall and how that run off
from this site would affect this property to the south.
Vice Chairman Goldspiel closed the public hearing at 8:31 P.M.

Vice 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. Crestani, Manhard, Jr. and Zale.
The exhibits were those contained Mr. Pfeil's memo to the Plan Commission
dated February 19, 1988 titled Amli 88-Acre Parcel and Petitioner's Exhibits
A through E and X.
Commissioner Lundine stated he would participate butwould abstain from voting
because of a possible conflict of interest on this item.
Mr. Crestani briefly reviewed the location of the site, the roadway which
was made to work more smoothly noting they have added access points at Park
Avenue, the westerly access point was changed, the zoning, total size of
lots, and detention have been added. They have provided a buffer zone
against Vernon Township property with a park site along it that Vernon
Township would manage. One cul-de-sac is 740' in length, requiring a
variation. They have added open space detention along Buffalo Grove Road.
Lots #126 and #127 have an 20' access to the park and they have joined the
two detention areas on the south with a 20' strip. He then reviewed the
proposed school locations noting they prefer Alternate A because of the
proximity of the building to the Vernon Township facilities and both sites
could share parking.
Mr. Manhard reviewed the water service, sanitary service noting there would
be 5 detention basins, 2 dry and 3 wet. The school site location will not
change the detention.
Dr. Bedrosian, of District #103, noted they are interested in a school site
and would prefer Site B. It is viable because of the 11 acres of township
land near it and they could use. They are primarily interested in this so
that access would be off of the park. They would like to purchase additional
acreage adjacent to the school site for access to the park. They would more
than meet the Illinois School requirements with Alternative B, assuming they
could use the Vernon Township playground area. This site could provide a
vary viable lighted school house program for this area. They are
anticipating a population of 350 students from K through 8 west of the Des
Plaines River.
Ms. Rubenstein, a Vernon Towhsip Trustee, noted they have been talking to
District 103 and Mr. Zale regarding purchase of a strip of land out to Main
Street.
Dr. Bedrosian noted the school building would be from 30,000 to 40,000 square
feet. It could be placed far enough away for the setbacks assuming they would
not have to provide parking and play area. This site gives them access to
play ground equipment and play area which are positive. He believes the 2. 5
acres is feasible. Dr. Bedrosian said the school would serve the area of
District 103 west of the Des Plaines river. He said there would be about 6
school buses.
Mr. Zale did not feel the homes that backed up to the elementary school site
would be a problem to sell. He is willing to do whatever the Village
requires and give a 2.5 access site. There is already a donation of 20 acres
on a 50 acre parcel and has given a buffer zone, moved retention out of the
zone to give a more open area to make it active. There would not be a
homeowner's association.
Mr. Pfeil noted Vernon Hills is not showing Buffalo Grove Road going north
from Port Clinton Road on their plans. They anticipate the north/south road
from Route 60 to Route 45 will align with Prairie Avenue. What Buffalo Grove
is showing for Buffalo Grove Road is appropriate with it connecting to Port
Clinton.
Mr. Phillips commented on the poor condition of Park Avenue. He requested
the water and sewer be extended to the lot line near Park Avenue. He was
concerned about the vacation of Second Street and felt a portion of that land
was on his site. He did not want to see Park Avenue completed as a through
street in back of his property. He would prefer a school site on this piece.
He did not anticipate any problems with his property backing up to the school
site.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Public Hearing February 24, 1988 Page 2
Mr. Shrems was concerned with the dedication of Second Avenue and had a
survey that he believes shows that part of it was on his property.
Mr. Norland was concerned with drainage and sewer as it would pertain to his
property.
Mr. Raysa pointed out that part of the annexation would have to take into
consideration the vacation of Second Avenue and where the property falls. It
would depend on what subdivision it was vacated under and this would have to
researched.
Vice Chairman Goldspiel called a recess at 9:47 P.M. and reconvened the
meeting at 10:07 P.M.
Mrs. Norland noted she was in favor of a school site in the area near her
home.
Vice Chairman Goldspiel closed the public hearing at 10:12 P.M.
