COMMITTEE & LIAISON REPORTS
Chairman Sheldon noted that there was discussion of a residence for sale
adjacent to the Town Center. It has nothing to do with the Town Center. The
developers were in and met with the Village Manager and have submitted a
construction schedule and discussed fees.
Regarding action on the Emmerich Park site, per discussion with Mr. Balling:
The Village's maintenance facilities cannot be shared with the Park
District because of the capital improvements.
The Trustees were not agreeable to the Willow Stream Park site.
The site by the youth center discussed for possible use by the Park
District maintenance facilities is in the flood plain.
It was suggested that the railroad station ggsite be considered for the Park
District maintenance garage.
WESTCHESTER COVE
Mr. Green noted this is a 5 acre tract, 3.8 acre net, at the southwest corner
of the Westchester subdivision at the north east corner of Buffalo Grove Road
and Busch Road. The property will have a 54' right-of-way dedication for
Buffalo Grove Road. It is presently zoned Agricultural by Lake County. The
minimum lot is 16,920 square feet. The detention is at the south end of the
site. This will move the lots and the cul-de-sacs further away from the
intersection as previously shown to the Village Board. The current plan
increases the angle on the bottom of the lots. The lake is allowed to
increase a little bit. He then passed out a copy of the change that has been
made to the plan concerning the Village staff's suggestion of shifting the
development northward. The leg of the detention has doubled in size. There
is no room on the detention area to bring the bike path south to the
intersection of Buffalo Grove and Busch Roads.
Commissioner Musfeldt suggested that the 25' setback from Buffalo Grove Road
be increased and the lots moved back toward the detention.
Mr. Green stated their plan gives them the right width for the building and
homes sizes on those lots.
Commissioner Goldspiel pointed out that Buffalo Grove Road will be a very
busy, 4 lane, high speed road.
Commissioner Musfeldt suggested that different side yards could solve this
problem. After some discussion it was agreed that lots 3 and 4 could have
their widths reduced from 90' to 86' with the extra 4' or total of 8' added
to Lots 1 and 6 making them 100' each thus increasing the setback of those
two lots. The bottom of Lot 5 will be part of the overall detention and will
be landscaped and bermed. The detention area will be maintained by the
Village.
Mr. Pfeil will check on the left turn bays off of Buffalo Grove Road on to
Busch Road.
Mr. Green noted that there are no wetlands involved with this site. Unfortu-
nately the trees on the site are not appropriate for a to residential
development. The basements will all have perimeter drainage. They have not
had any ground water in Westchester Estates. Along Buffalo Grove Road, lots
will have fencing. The lots should drain to the cul-de-sac and to the rear
in all cases. There is an easement for the sanitary sewer.
It was suggested that this project go to a public hearing.

VILLAGE CAMPUS SUBDIVISION FINAL PLAT
Mr. Pfeil noted this plat contains all the parcels for the Village Campus
including the police station site. The Village still has a right of entry
agreement, not ownership, on the police station lot in question.
Commissioner Goldspiel talked to Mr. Kuenkler who noted this had not been
previously plated, the lots are not delineated and do not have to
P Y be, setback

it does not need lot numbers.

lot was not owned by Grand Spaulding Dodge. Development of the lot will be
controlled by the approved Preliminary Plan.
