She then swore in Messrs. Meister, Green, Vane and Martin. The exhibits were those contained Mr. Pfeil's December 9, 1988 memo to the Plan Commission titled Parkchester Estates and Petitioner's Exhibits 1 through 11. Mr. Meister reviewed the location of the site, the surrounding uses and their zoning. The subject site is currently zoned in Lake County UR-3 which permits up to 500 apartments. He reviewed the history of the site. He noted AO the price range for the homes would be between $200,000 to $250,000. They are requesting annexation to the Village of Buffalo Grove, zoning in the R-4 District, Preliminary Plan approval and a variation of the Development Ordinance to permit Enkamat instead of natural stone on the slope of the detention lake. He then introduced his development team. Mr. Green reviewed the planning history of the site. He noted the land generally falls from the southeast to the northwest. Newtown Drive will be extended from Weiland Road as a collector road and will connect to Horatio Boulevard. At any point in the site there is dual access for emergency purposes. The lots meet the R-4 standards. Lots 90 to 100 and 78 to 89 have a minimum depth of 135' . They established additional buffering from the industrial area at the east. The industrial area has a 50' setback to the building and a requirement for berming on the western portion of the site. Lots 1 through 17 are 145' deep. There are no lot variations requested. The lot widths all meet the ordinance. They have provided for the 19' additional right of way on Weiland Road. He reviewed Exhibit 10, the floor plans for the homes and Exhibit 11 the exterior elevations. Exhibit 3-B showed the phasing. The first phase will have 53 units, detention and park area completed. Phase will have 61 units. Mr. Vane reviewed the engineering and grading concepts with the aid of Exhibit 5. Mr. Martin reviewed the landscaping with the aid of Exhibit 4. P g Mr. Pfeil stated the Village traffic consultant feels the road pattern is a good layout. When the Village annexes the site they will also annex the 30' right of way of Marie Avenue. It could be vacated when it is annexed into the Village or be retained as right-of-way. The Village staff recommends retaining the right-of-way and closing the Marie Avenue access to Weiland Road. Margaret Avenue would become a dead-end street. Mr. Meister stated the developer is willing to redo the driveways that exit on Marie at his expense so that they would have direct access to Margaret. Chairman Sheldon read the letter from Mr. Rylko to Mr. Pfeil dated December 14, 1988 regarding this site. Mr. Green stated they have narrowed the park retention pond 10' and lengthened it 10' . The bike path is level running above the detention level. The access to the park between Lots 100 and 101is 24' at the roadway and 80' wide at the access point to the park. This allows a 135' turn for the bike path. Concerning Marie Avenue, the developer will do restoration of the landscaping when he takes out the old driveways and puts in new ones on the land adjacent to the site. Mr. Pfeil stated that aeration of the retention pond is required and if the developer does not plan to do this a variation must be requested. The turn around on Marie or Weiland is a negotiable item. The Village would expect the developer pay for it. Mr. Vane noted there is no wetland on the site. They anticipate a left turn lane southbound and a right turn lane northbound at Weiland and Newtown. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - December 14, 1988 - Page 2 Mr. Vickley was concerned with the elevation of the land near his home. Ms. Tucker was concerned with the paving of Horatio Boulevard and side walks.

Ms. Picket was concerned with the vacation of the Marie Avenue right-of-way. Li The developer was directed by Chairman Sheldon to consider buffering for the lots that back up to the single family homes. Mr. Raysa stated if Marie Avenue were vacated the owners of Lot #1 in Horatio Gardens would have to cross Lot #23 to get to Weiland Road. He referred to Mr. Pfeil's December 9, 1988 memo to the Plan Commission titled Parkchester Estates and all that was contained in it. Chairman Sheldon closed the public hearing at 9:30 P.M.
