Commissioners Present: Mr. Genrich, Chairman Mr. Gamm Mr. Haarr Mr. Harris Mr. Keister Mr. Mendenhall Mr. Shields Commissioners Absent: Mr. VanEngen Also Present: Mr. Armstrong, President Mr. Balling, Administrative Assistant Mrs.Rech, Village Trustee PHOENIX Present in this regard were: Mr. Earl Broms Mr. Jack Siegal , Attorney Mr. Joseph Koenen,Engineer - Ciorba,Spies, Gustafson & Co. Mr. Richard Donatoni , Architect - Del Bianco, Schwartz, Donatoni , of Chicago Mr. Bernie Wolf - Phoenix Construction Co. All of the above present in the behalf of this development were sworn in. Mr. Siegel gave a presentation, stating that this matter was before the Commission last October, and that originally a recommendation for approval had been sent to the Village Board. The developers had then been referred back to the Plan Commission for reconsideration after the appropriate modifications were made. He stated that the development being considered is located on 4 parcels of vacant land in the village. Project A consists of 873 townhouse, condominium, and apartment units located on 3 parcels of land adjacent to the Buffalo Grove Golf Club identified as parcels A, B, and C. Project B is located north of Illinois Rt. 83, west of Busch Road and consists of 240 townhouse units. Mr.Siegel stated that Villa Verde was developed by Mr. Wolf and stated that this fact should be of some solace to the Village Board. The property has been in the village for some time. It goes back to the original Glen Grove annexation agreement. In the annexation agreement it was provided that the properties around the Glen Grove development were to be developed with 1100 multiple dwelling units. The original annexation agreement provided for rezoning of 1100 apartment units, although no standing ordinance was ever adopted. They have submitted to the Village a copy of the trust agreement revealing the owners of the property. As part of the proposal which they are presenting this evening, and after some negotiation with the Village Board and the Plan Commission the developers have agreed to make certain contributions to the community. They are: 1 ) A 4.9 acre parcel , which was originally included in the Glen Plan Commission Page 2 12/5/73 Grove agreement would be donated to the Village for Village use. That parcel of land is located south of Lake-Cook Road, East of Raupp Boulevard. 2) They have agreed to donate $150 per unit for the 33 acres of townhouse development. 3) They have agreed to donate $50 per unit for the 73 acres around the golf course. A. THE GOLF COURSE PROJECT The project will be developed to the South, East and North of the golf course. They are proposing multifamily development of different types. The new plan also proposes extensive landscaping. Storm water retention for these areas will be constructed upon the golf course. Mr. Siegel stated that the overall density is a realistic concern for all parcels. The higher density is located towards the golf course. Alignment of the property along Lake-Cook Road has been changed. This proposal is one which is not only economically feasible for the developer but which will provide a revenue benefit for Buffalo Grove. Copies of the Tax Imput Study were then presented to the Commission members. The golf course property is part of a 192 acre tract originally called Glen Grove. The golf course occupies 128 acres, Parcel A is 12 acres, Parcel B is 36 acres, and Parcel C is 16 acres. Parcel A, located along Checker Road would have 15 two-story townhouse units and 124 two-story garden condominiums. Parcel B, located along Lake-Cook Road , will have 38townhouses, 178garden condominiums and 266three and four- story apartment units. Parcel C. is bordered by Checker Road on the north and Lake-Cook Road on the south and will have 252 apartment units. They have decreased radically the density in Parcel C. Its size is now 252 units (instead of the 324 units orginally approved) with 16.1 units per acre. They have lowered these from three or four-story units to two or three-story units. He also stated that the overall parking ratio will be 2 to 1 . They are proposing two recreational centers, which will include a pool , meeting rooms and locker rooms. He gave the bedroom breakdown. (See Tax Imput Study.) He stated that the figures used to determine the number of school children were based on the Illinois School Consultant Services. Mr. Koenen stated that Project A is divided into Lake County at the north and Cook County at the South. The Lake County portion of the project meets with the Lake County Public Works Department's extended intercepting sewer, at the site of the old treatment plant. Various other land owners in the area have undertaken to design a sanitary sewer proposing sanitation and utility facilities at Checker Road to the Lake County Department of Public Work's intercepter. In Parcel C at the east end they have a sewer going along Checker Road and there is a possibility that it might connect with the sewer that runs along the western boundary of the golf course. Mr. Koenen stated that the water supply system for Project A will tie into 10" and 12" water main system. There is also an existing 12" water main on the western boundary of the golf course. The water mains will loop around the Plan Commission Page 4 12/5/73 area. They are selling townhouses ranging from $39,000 to $50,000. As far as financing is concerned, he normally goes with Home Federal Say. & Loan and he has been assured that they will finance them in this area. Mr. Wolf also stated that they have been waiting two years for this project and because of three different building seasons, the costs have increased already -about 20-30%. He stated that he could not answer Mr. Gamm's question exactly. Commissioner Harris expressed his concern about whether or not the project will comply with the new PUD Ordinance. He does not feel that the golf course parcels can be grouped into one PUD, since they are not connected. Mr. Siegel stated that he feels it would be unnecessary to request another type of zoning classification since this property is in common ownership. Commissioner Harris asked if they had any figures showing that the revenue received would be more than the tax expended by the school district. Mr. Siegel stated that this information was not available this evening but that it would be provided to the commission as soon as possible. Commissioner Mendenhall stated that he felt one of the major objections was shutting off vistas of the golf course. He requested that the developer consider relocating townhouses along Checker Drive to provide vistas of the golf course. He then asked that the owners of the trust be publically an- nounced. Mr. Siegel stated that they are Messrs. Friedman, Ecker, Haytow and Dr. Gecht. Commissioner Mendenhall also stated that if they would move one of the large buildings further east in Parcel B, this would allow a vista of the golf course when driving along Weidner Road. Commissioner Mendenhall also seconded Commissioner Harris' comments relative to whether or not this could be considered one PUD. Commissioner Keister asked for an explanation of the underground drainage on Project B. Mr. Koenen stated that they have begun to design the drain- age for the area. The design will include a gravel underdrain, topped with topsoil and then grass. Commissioner Keister then asked if the drainage to the golf course would be underground. Mr.- Koenen replied--that through the development all the drainage would be underground. Mr. Hitzman - School District 96 wanted to know who the monetary donations would be made to. Mr. Siegel replied that they would be made to the Village. Mr. Hitzman then stated that in a meeting of approximately one year ago, Mr. Siegel had informed him that these donations would specifically be made to the school district. Mr. Siegel replied that if it was the desire of the Village that these donations be made to the school district that they would certainly comply. Mr. Kittle, Buffalo Grove Park District, asked if a study had been made as to the impact of the storm water detention to the golf course. Mr. Koenen stated that the lakes in the golf course are an intergal part of the storm water system and that they are also a part of the playability of the course. Mr. Kittle then asked if there were provisions made for small tot lots. Mr. Donatoni stated that there will be tot lots in the development. Chairman Genrich then asked Mr. Siegel to meet with Mr. Corssland, Director - Village Park District. Mr. Siegel replied that he would. Father Duffy, St. Mary's Parish, asked about Parcel C, Project A, wondering if there would be any four story buildings and if it was in the flood plain. Mr. Donatoni informed Father that they were not proposing to build any four story buildings and that all of the parcels are out of the flood plain. Plan Commission Page 5 12/5/73 Mr. Bob Bogart, 930 Plum Grove Court asked about the four story building in Parcel B. Mr. Donatoni stated that it would be approximately 36' in heigth depending on availability of material . Mr. Bogart also felt that there should be some type of a baseball diamond. Mr. Donatoni stated that under a PUD development it is almost impossible for them to put in a football or baseball field. Mr. Swen Madson, 321 Springside Lane then spoke to the Commission. He stated that we ghould not change the zoning until it is proven beyond any benefit of the doubt that this development would benefit the village, and he feels that at present this has not been proven. He stated that this development would do away with the suburban type of life that the people of Buffalo Grove moved here to have. He then informed the Commission that he had with him the General Electric Map Cast Economic Forecast, 3rd Quarter'73, which prognosis stated that at present there are today numerous signs of overbuilding. Mr. Madsen stated that he enjoys the vista of the golf course and feels that they should comply with the ordinance of the Village, as far as the density is concerned. He then asked about the legal aspects of the Forest Preserve interest in the golf course. Mr. Armstrong replied that the MSD has approved the plan and that an application has been made for federal monies. Mr. Madsen stated that as an interested citizen he recommends that very stringent measures be taken to see this project meets the existing zoning. Mr. Guttman, 208 Stonegate stated that he would like to know how the contri- butions as proposed by the developer compare to the contributions as set forth in the Village resolutions. Mr. Siegel stated that they are donating 4.9 acres to the Village. Mr. Siegel submitted that the market value of that property is approximately $50,000 more than the amount owed offered in lieu of a committment by the owner to pay for, a portion of Checker Rd.improvements. Mr.Guttman � then told Mr. Donatoni that when speaking of the golf course for their considered in common ownership, but when referringto the purposes it is golf course as open space the golf course is not considered as part of the project. Mr. Siegel replied that they are offeringjust payment in that the Village can acquire the golf course at less than its market value. He stated that these are the facts as they exist. He also stated that he is not authorized to extend on behalf of the golf course owners with respect to a permanent agreement, that this property will be held for permatuity as a golf course. Mr. Cosmo, 945 Checker Drive addressed the developers. He does not believe 873 units will only generate 198• children. There is going to be a need for another school . Mr. Ron Column, 927 Timberhill Road reminded the Commission that we are here tonight to discuss the question of rezoning. He stated that the zoning ordinances are the only method that the people of Buffalo Grove have of insuring the future of their village. He feels that it is the Plan Commission's responsibility to see that these zoning requirements are met. He also asked if Mr. Friedman had been approached by any other developer as to a plan which would generate revenue. Mr. Genrich asked Mr. Wolf to give a statement in regard to the current market. Mr. Wolf stated that if they built single family dwellings, that it would be nonprofitable , unless they were in the $90,000 range. Plan Commission Page 6 12/5/73 Mr. Scott Butler, 985 Checker Road then addressed the Commission. He stated that he would like to see the drive east on Checker Road as it exists. Mr. Koenen replied that they have been before the Plan Commission for about two years with these exhibits. At that time the triangle where Mr. Butler proposes a drive, was a part of the golf couse property. He stated that this is just a general plan and that the minor details would have to be worked out later. Commissioner Mendenhall stated that we will have to do a lot more work with this plan before it is recommended to the Board for approval . Chairman Genrich asked Mr. Wolf about their time schedule and which projects would come first. At this point, Mr. Wolf stated that they would probably start with Project A, Parcel A. The second phase of the development would be Parcel B; the final phase would be parcel C. Chairman Genrich stated that sometimes we all get the feeling that the amount of density of a; project is the end all and if a developer can get 33 units per acre he will make a lot of money. How does the density relate to the profits? Mr. Wolf stated that the 873 units involved are from the purchase contract with the owners and they have based their economics on that figure. He gave examples of buildings in another development and in summary, the developer does not always meet the density allowed him. If they can build a lesser amount of units they may still generate a substantial profit. At this time Chairman Genrich stressed 4 points that he wanted the developers to pay particular attention to. They are: 1 ) They would like the developer develop some vistas and some openings within the development. 2) They should review with the Park District their plan before Wednesday night. 3) The developer should come up with better figures with regard to the school economics. 4) The developer should review the PUD ordinance. Mr. Joe Mason, 712 St. Mark Parkway addressed the Commission. He feels that the Plan Commission should verify if there is to be only one PUD ordinance for the project. Commissioner Haarr replied that in the PUD ordinance there are 4 categories listed. Mr. Haarr stated that we would probably have to present this matter to the Village Attorney. The public hearing was adjourned at 11 :00 P.M. Respectfully submi d, A. Heneghan, R c ding Sect'y. Approved: Carl Genrich, Chairman ah PUBLIC HEARING BUFFALO GROVE PLAN COMMISSION PHOENIX CONSTRUCTION COMPANY December 5, 1973 Chairman, Carl Genrich, called the Public Hearing to order at 8:15 P.M. , December 5, 1973, at the Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

Mr. Richard Donatoni , Architect - Del Bianco, Schwartz, Donatoni , of Chicago Mr. Bernie Wolf - Phoenix Construction Co. All of the above present in the behalf of this development were sworn in. Mr. Siegel gave a presentation, stating that this matter was before the Commission last October, and that originally a recommendation for approval had been sent to the Village Board. The developers had then been referred back to the Plan Commission for reconsideration after the appropriate modifications were made. He stated that the development being considered is at Rt. 83 and Bush Road which is a townhouse development consisting of Parcels A, B & C which are in common ownership and to be developed by Phoenix having 240 townhouse units. Mr. Siegel stated that Villa Verde was developed by Mr. Brums and stated that this fact should be of some solace to the Village Board. The property has been in the village for some time. It goes back to the original Glen Grove annexation agreement. It the annexation agreement it was provided that the properties around the Glen Grove development were to be developed with 1100 multiple dwelling units. The original annexation agreement provided for rezoning of 1100 apartment units, although no standing ordinance was ever adopted. They have submitted a cony of the trust agreement advising the owners of the property. As part of the proposal which they are presenting this evening, and after some negotiation with the Village Board and the Plan Commission the developers have agreed to make certain contributions to the community. They are: 1) A 4.9 acre parcel , which was originally included in the Glen Grove acres would be donated to the Village for Village use. That parcel of land has an approximate value of $50,000. Plan Commission page 2 12/5/73 2) They have agreed to donate $150 per unit for the 33 acres of townhouse development. 3) They have agreed to donate $50 per unit for the 73 units around the golfcourse. There will be permanent open space and includes within it the retention facilities which are at the same time a part of the configuration of the golfcourse and serve as retention facilities for the development. The new plan also provides a recreation area suitable for use by the community as a whole. They are proposing condominium type development at this time. The new plan also proposes excessive landscaping. Mr. Siegel stated that the overall density is a realistic one. This proposal is one wich is not only economically feasible for the developer but which is for the benefit of Buffalo Grove. Copies of the Tax Imput Study were then presented to the Commission members. Mr. Donatoni then gave a narrative showing the public and the Plan Commission the site plan. He stated that when the areas around the property are built up they will be tied in with these parcels. He stated that the Tax Imput Study had been composed using very conservative figures. (Copy of which is attached.) There is a tremendous green belt in the center of the property. The higher density is towards the green area. Since the last presentation to the Board the green belt has not changed at all . He stated that there are 124 two-story townhomes and 15 townhouses. Alignment of the property along Lake Cook Road has been changed. They have decreased radically the density in Parcel "C". There are now 250 units or 16 units per acre. They have lowered these from 3 or 4 story units to 2 or 3 story units. He also stated that the overall parking ratio will be 2 to 1 . They are proposing three recreational centers, which will include a pool , meeting rooms and locker rooms. He gave the bedroom breakdown. (See Tax Imput Study.) He stated that the figures used to determine the number of school children were based on the Illinois School Consultant Services. Mr. Koenen then gave a presentation with respect to the engineering. He showed the Commission an exhibit which showed the property's sanitary system. The are proposing to connect to the city sewer and extend 10" and 8" sewers throught the development. They will connect to the Levitt Development at the northwest corner of the property and provide further expansion of the system to the northeast and southwest. There will be an 8" water main. There is a large green area in the center of the project which will be depressed and which will have a controlled outlet. Excess water falling into the project will fall into the depressed green area. Mr. Koenen stated that the project is divided into Lake County at the north and Cook County at the south. The Lake County portion of the project at the site of the old sewage treatment plant meets with the Lake County Public Works Department's extended intercepting sewer.Various other land owners in the area have undertaken to design a sanitary sewer proposing sanitation and utility facilities at Checker Road to the Lake County Department of Public Works' intercepter. In Parcel "C" at the east end they have a sewer going along Checker Road and there is a possibility that it might connect with the sewer that runs along the western boundary of the golfcourse. Plan Commission Page 3 12/5/73 Mr. Koenen stated that the water supply system will tie into 10" and 12" water main system. There is also an existing 12" water main on the western boundary of the golfcourse. The water mains will loop around the development and provide adequate fire protection. There are four proposed lakes on the golfcourse. Mr. Koenen stated that they are required by ordinance to provide storm water detention. The total volume in these four lakes will be adequate to satisfy the stOrm water detention ordinance of the village. He also stated that parcels A, B and C are all outside the existing flood plain of Buffalo Creek. Mr. Siegel then presented the Commission with brochures of Mr. Wolf's development in the Flossmor-Hazelcrest area. He then went on to state that the proposed project is anticipated to extend over a 5-7 year period. The kinds of homes they have designed for this development have been a result of an extensive look at the Chicago area and the northwest suburban area and the price level indicated is the price level which will sell in this market. Unfortunately, it is probable that these prices will be more when the final product is on the line. He indicated that the drainage facilities are part of the parcel and that the three parcels are in common ownership with the golfcourse. Commissioner Haarr informed Mr. Siegel that since the last hearing there was an ordinance (73.39) passed and he asked what density ranges they are requesting for the two parcels and if they can live with the stipula- tions drawn out by the ordinance. A discussion was held and it was felt that this could be worked out to meet the ordinance. Commissioner Haarr then asked if the parking was truly underground - more than half of the height of the parking area underground. Mr. Siegel replied that it was. Commissioner Gamm wanted to reaffirm that Phoenix was not proposing any four bedroom units. Mr. Siegel stated that four bedroom units were not being proposed. Commissioner Gamm also asked what made the developer feel that this type of development is feasible at this time. Mr. Wolf stated that they are duplicating this project in the southwest side of the county. They are selling townhouses ranging from $39,000 to $50,000. As far as financing is concerned, he normally goes with Home Savings and Loan and he has been assured that they will finance them in this area. Mr. Wolf also stated that they have been waiting two years for this project and because of 3 different building seasons, the costs have increased already about 20-30%.

Mr. Siegel stated that this information was not available this evening but that it would be provided to the commission as soon as possible. Plan Commission Page 4 12/5/73 Commissioner Mendenhall stated that he felt that the development would be taking something away from the village and requested that they put in a vista of the golfcourse off of Checker Drive. He then asked who the owners of the trust are. Mr. Siegel stated that they are Messrs. Friedman, Eckert, Haytow and Dr. Gecht. Commissioner Mendenhall also stated that if they would move one of the buildings further east, when driving along Weidner Road, the golfcourse would be visible. Commissioner Keister asked for an explanation of the underground drainage on Project B. Mr. Koenen stated that in the green area they have begun to design the depressed green area.

Mr. Gutman, 208 Stonegate stated that he would like to how the contributions as proposed by the developer compare to the contributions as set forth in the village resolutions. Mr. Siegel stated that they are donating 4.9 acres to the village. The market value of that property is approximately $50,000 in excess of the committment on Checker Road. Mr. Gutman then told Mr. Donatoni that when speaking of the golf course for their purposes it is considered in common ownership, but when referring to the golfcourse as open space the golfcourse is not considered as part of the project. Mr. Siegel replied that they are paying so that the village can acquire the golfcourse at less than its market value. He states that these are the facts as they exist.
