Mr. Martin reviewed the zoning and surrounding uses. The site is 17 acres. He then reviewed the history of the site plans. There is a notch of the site that will be annexed and zoned but will remain under the ownership of the Sims Family. The plan has been altered to provide access for this piece. The present plan is 1.76 dwelling units per acre zoning to be R-2. The detention is approximately 1 acre in the northwest corner. The plan's lots will be 20' wider than the Fiore lots. The average lot size is 17,420 square feet. The detention will be part of the back yards of the lots it backs up to which would provide those owners a larger back yard. The developer would be amenable to R-3 zoning on the north and R-2 on the south. It is a small lot and the access and road donation requirements are to be made. The right-of-way dedication width is 60' on the south for the collector road which is required to be 80' . The additional 20' would be provided by the property to the south. This is the same kind of right-of-way approved for the Fiore piece. They have a drainage easement along and on the Fiore piece which is piped to the lake on the golf course.They aren't asking for any variations. Lots 1 and 2 will have access on Brandywyn. Lots 12 and 13 are approximately 1/2 an acre with the detention on them. The Commission expressed its desire to see a landscaped island in the cul-de-sac. Mr. Schwartz noted the difference in price between the R-2 and R-3 is $13,000.00. Their homes would be $20,000 higher than the Fiore homes and the Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Special Meeting - August 31, 1988 - Page 2 same in character because of the R-2 zoning required by the Village. They feel that this piece should be zoned R-4 as the Fiore piece. The site is delineated by an 80' street from the proposed estate zoning. When he purchased this piece he thought it would be zoned R-4. He came in with 41 lots and is now down to 29. The Commission was polled as to its preference for a hybrid with some character of R-2 and R-3 zoning to be thought about in terms of zoning with the Plan Commission reviewing the new plan. Yes indicating favor of this. �•/ AYES: Krug, Rhodes, Howard, Braiman and Rosenston NAYES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Sheldon and Rubin The poll was favorable 5 - 0.

Commissioners Present: Vice Chairman Goldspiel Mr. Krug Mr. Rhodes Ms. Howard Mr. Braiman Mr. Rosenston Commissioners Absent: Ms. Sheldon Mr. Rubin Also Present: Mr. G. Tabb, Architect, Mr. M. Malnati, Developer Mr. G. Wiss, Engineer Mr. Dresster, Southern Property Owner To Site Mr. W. Raysa, Village Attorney Mr. R. Kuenkler, Village Engineer Mr. R. Pfeil, Village Planner 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. Tabb, Wiss and Malnati. The exhibits were those contained Mr. Pfeil's August 26, 1988 memo to the Plan Commission titled Malnati's Pizza along with Petitioner's Exhibits 1 through 3. Mr. Malnati gave a brief overview of his company and the reasons for expansion into Buffalo Grove. They need 200 seats in their store so they have expanded the present building. They will turn the front dining room into a foyer so that they have an alternative to waiting in the bar to be seated. This area presently holds 180 seats. The addition will contain this additional seating along with their carry-out store. The back dining room will remain as it is. The carry-out store in the back of the store will have a separate entrance. They are asking for a variation to the flood plain ordinance in order to pave the parking lot. Mr. Malnati stated at their busiest time they will have 20 employees. There will be no outdoor cooking. v Hours of operation will be from 11:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. on weekdays and 1:00 A.M. on weekends. They will have a sidewalk at the restaurant. Mr. Tabb, with the aid of Exhibit 2 reviewed the exterior of the building. The addition will be approximately 1,430 square feet bringing the restaurant up to 5,530 square feet. He reviewed Exhibit 3. They have tried to place the addition furthest from the creek and at the highest elevation of the site. They are paving and landscaping the parking lot, putting in curbs and adding a sidewalk along the front of the property line. The detention will be in the back of the site. The total parking will be 101 spaces. The seasonal building will have an awning with screening material around the sides. It will have lighting to illuminate that area. They have to screen this to control the bugs. This is the original patio area. There will be seating in this area for eating and drinking. The Commission suggested designated parking spaces for the carry-out business. Mr. Wiss stated that after they completed their calculations they found they only had a difference of about 100' square feet of hard surface added to the plan. They have added green areas that balance the new hard surfaces. They might be able to introduce a walk at the north end of the property and connect it to the driveway aisle. If they do not have a grading problem, this is the best place for a walk. On the far eastern part of the site they have a storm water detention area which compensates for the area from the front of the building eastward back as 50% of the detention on the site. This provides for the new building expansion and the new parking areas. The detention will be dry. They will comply with the site improvement requirements. They will raise the new parking lot 6" to compensate for an excavation in 1972. This will not create a threat at the to the public health and safety. They will not be creating any down stream flooding. As long as they remain in the flood fringe area they will not require a permit from the Division of Water Resources because they are not alternating the flood way, with the storm water detention there will be less likehood of drainage down stream. When the parking lot is raised it will be 2' maximum below the 100 year storm level. There will be sidewalks around the building.
