Mr. Gingold stated that there were some changes to the preliminary plat, but felt
that the concept remained the same. The barn will be restored and used as a sales
office with a pool to the rear. Also, an effort to save some of the trees had
necessitated shifting of some of the buildings. Mr. Gingold indicated that the
major concern is for plat approval , to include all three types of units that will
be built. They would like to start laying the foundation for the model quadro
in two or three weeks. Commissioner Haarr indicated that final plat approval was
needed before a building permit could be issued.
Mr. Seaberg expressed concern about the water main location. He felt this should
not be a field change, but instead would like it indicated on the plat. He also
asked what access would be used for the site. Mr. Gingold replied that Linden
Avenue would be one access and the other would be off of Wyeland Road. Mr. Seaberg
then asked about the utilities and water retention area, the blanket easement cover-
ing common open space, and expressed his concern about future problems with
utilities. Mr. Lacey stated that a condominium survey would be made.

Mr. Hooper presented the prints of the final plat. Commissioners Haarr and
Gamm and Mr. Seaberg reviewed the final plat and asked if each of these blocks
would be controlled by the owners of the unit. Mr. Gingold replied that there
would be a Home Owner's Association for the condominium.
Commissioner Haarr stated that the street widths and names were missing and
that the Commission should see accurate number of parking spaces marked.
After all corrections are made to the plat a copy will be sent to Mr. Gamm, who
was requested by Chairman Genrich to present the plan for approval at the next
Board meeting.

come up with another site plan based on what was said at the Board Meeting.
Chairman Genrich and Commissioner Haarr stated that a final plan would be necessary
and should include the seven buildings indicated on the original plan.

would have to be relocated. He also stated that plans should be revised to show
the buildings.

Mr. Trayser, stated the following, indicating that these are his
own comments - not of the commission:
1 . From .aesthetic view point, this is a main entrance to Buffalo
Grove -- this is an important corner.
2. Want to Slay away from the strip development like seen in Wheeling.
3. My opinion that Pizza Hut is in line with Bonanza Steak House -
Red roof plastic environment does not blend here.(gas. station and
office building)
4. Pizza Hut Development - large expanse of parking lot with nothing
else. This could set trend for rest of property.
\.i
5. These parcels are being developed one at a time. We need a grouping
uses that are coordinated and a unified design.

GENERAL DISCUSSION OF PLAN COMMISSION BUSINESS
Commissioner Mendenhall rpprted on the Monday Night Board Meeting. He stated that
the Plan Commission members were not adhering to their attendance schedule of
the Board Meeting.
Mill Creek - Mr. Osman and the Blue Ribbon Committee studied this parcel for
three or four months. The developer wanted anjark of 3.5 acres, but the Board
�.1 was against this because this strip-like shopping center would have a location
convenient only to the apartment and condominium owners. The Blue Ribbon
Committee did turn it down by a 6 to 1 vote.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

date?
