The pre-application conference for the Mill Creek Multi-Family site was held 2. The Golf Course North Parcel Plan was turned down by the Board. PARKCHESTER ESTATES Mr. Green reviewed the prior plan dated September 30, 1988 and the present plan. Their response to the items brought up by staff and the Plan Commission at workshop sessions are: 1. The emergency access from the industrial is not within the boundaries of their site. 2. Park access is at the north portion of the property between Lots V #100 and #101. It is 24' wide and opens up to 80' on the west where it abuts the park. The total park grass area is 7.05 area and they took 1' off of the 4 interior lots to provide for this. 3. Regarding the setbacks and depths of lots on the east and north, they have increased the minimum lot depth from 130' to 135' . Lots 90 through 100 have been increased 5' in depth. 4. Variations may be needed along the park right-of-way. They are recommending that the bike path meander in and out of the right-of-way and the parkway trees meander with the path. If they do that they are providing trees that would be required by the ordinance but they are meandering the path and the trees which may be allowed by the ordinance. 5. Marie Avenue's right-of-way exists along the south portion of the site. There is an existing 30' right-of-way along the Horatio Gardins subdivision. He suggested vacating the right-of-way. Mr. Green stated they have not altered the percentages or ratio's of the lot sizes. There are a few lots that are slightly under 8,750 square feet but they will be adjusted in the final plat. The smaller lots are in the interior area and lots increase in size as the lots go out to the edge of the site. They have had 2 meetings with the Park District. The Park District is interested in the park access between Lots #104 and #105. With this access the developer would eliminate the bark chip path and make the access of bituminous materials. The Park District has stated they will maintain the access path. The area preferred by the Park District would keep the access more direct to the open area of the park. The path would be 22' to 24' . The Park District has made no request for parking for the park. Trees, berming, grassing, the lake, the pathway access and bike path would be completed before the park was given their land. This would be done in the first phase. It would be 45' to 50' from the back of the lots to the pond. Mr. Vane stated there is existing sanitary sewer along Marie. He will take the sanitary sewer out to Weiland. There are 3 acres on the southern portion of the site that drains towards Horatio Gardens. They will raise that area and create a berm so that they can send all of that water toward their lake. Commissioner Goldspiel was uncomfortable with the overland flow of the water on the south end of the site. Mr. Meister stated the Village could vacate the entire street and provide an easement for the first two homeowners on Marie. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Special Meeting - November 30, 1988 - Page 2 For the Public Hearing the following items were requested: 1. Where the sanitary sewer pipe is located. 2.

Chairman Sheldon called a recess at 9:00 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 9:06. PETER DAVID PROPERTY Mr. David purchased his property 5i years ago from a local realtor that informed him that he could have an office on the site. He was later informed by Lake County that he was in violation of County zoning and could not have an office on the site. He is before the Village for annexation. He had been informed that his building is 136 years old and the second oldest building in the Village. He runs an insurance company, there is an attorney on the first floor which is 1000 square feet. The second floor has been 750 square feet of rental apartment up to this time. He would like to make that into an office space. There is space for 10 cars in his parking lot. Mr. Pfeil stated that the Fire, Building and Zoning and Police departments have not reviewed the site. The owner would have to comply with village codes. The site is really commercial rather than an office sub-district, in the B-5 zoning. The Commission was polled, yes indicating in agreement with going ahead and doing the necessary research and development to come up with an annexation agreement for this piece of property. The poll was unanimously favorable. Staff was directed to do a small area plan for this site. FUTURE AGENDA December 7, 1988 there is a workshop on the Dillon Inn site and a couple of plats. December 14, 1988 the public hearing on Parkchester Estates and possibly another item.
