PUBLIC HEARING
HELD ON JULY 5, 1973

in the Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Boulevard
Commissioners Present: Mr. Genrich, Chairman Mr. Mendenhall
Mr. Gammr Mr. Shields
Mr. Harris Mr. Van Engen
Mr. Keister
Commissioners Absent: Mr. Haarr, Asst. Chairman
Also present were Mes rs. Harry Sleek and Bob Brandwein, representatives for
Levitt & Sons. Mr. Sgberg, Village Engineer also present.
It was proposed by Mr. Brandwein, that the original annexation single family
area of 13 acres zoned for R9 be rezoned from R9 to R6, but still be subject
to the provisions of the annexation agreement, the reason for this being the
concern that if someday the buildings were destroyed a developer could come in
and rebuild under the R9 provision and that is not desired by the village.
R6 zoning requires minimum lot size of 6,600 sq. ft. ,
rain-m ot--size of 6,000-s t- €t.
Mr. Sl s presented the plat to the Commission showing the four divisions of the
Levitt Development, which are follows:
1 ) Single family area with density of 4 dwelling units per acre
2) Cluster single family area with density of 5.5 units per acre
3) Apartments, condominums with density of 15 units per acre
4) Professional site
Mr. Brandwein read the original agreement, page 8, paragraph 13:
"Specific setbacks to the 35 ft. R-O-W shall not be required
to encourage and permit single family homes to be constructed
in the single family area. Lot area and lot requirements shall
not be applicable."
Mr. Genrich asked Mr. Brandwein just what Levitt was relieving themselves of.
Mr. Brandwein stated that Levitt was not relieving themselves of anything and that
the rezoning had originally been the decision of the Village and that Levitt was
only accommodating. Mr. Brandwein stated that Levitt is eager to pour foundations
in the Fall .

It was stated by Mr. Brandwein that the general plan was a conceptional plan and
that the mix would vary. The plan was designed to create lot arrangements to
permit single-family housing 4n one site and a zero lot line concept in the area
cy further away from Arlington Heights Road.
Mr. Harris asked who would own the retention area. Mr. Brandwein stated that
the retention area will be owned by the Village, such eo to •n a _ 10 ft. _ ___
Mr. Mendenhall asked if Levitt would do away with the side yards. Mr. Brandwein
indicated that there will be at least one side yard per house.
Mr. Harris asked if quadros could be put in where 4 lots joined. Mr. Brandwein
stated that this could be possible.
//A 6 E
It was stated by Mr. Genrich that if the Commission would recommend to the keirtvg-
Board of Appeals this change be made to R6, then the developer would have to meet
the requirements of R6. Levitt would then have to go to the Zoning Board of
Appeals and ask for 33% depth and side yard variation and a 10% reduction in lot
size.
//RN CND F A)
Mr. Herres asked if the street network had been checked out with the post office
and police department, so as to guard against duplicate street names. Mr. Brandwein
stated that this had previously been done. It was stated by Mr. Harris that the
courts in the development would probably take on the name of adjacent street and
not have a street sign, such as done by previous builders.
The report from Paul C. Box & Associates, Traffic Consultants, indicated that they
questioned the traffic counts previously made. They recommend that a secondary
roadway be created to the southern end of the subdivision.
Mr. Sleek stated that there would be a 49 ft. dedication of R-O-W.
HeYalsot+asked Mr. Harris to review the plans
and mail the appropriate ones to the Plan Commission Members.
Decision made: Mr. Genrich, Chairman, will clarify with the Village Attorney,
Mr. Raysa, the original annexation agreement with Levitt and Sons for this
Koelper DeMuth property. There may be a provision to cover the needed variance
and if Mr. Raysa decides that it is not allowable, Levitt & Sons will have to
secure a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Variances can be given on
33% of setback and rear lot requirements and 10% variance in lot size.
Levitt & Sons will react to Mr. S}eberg's recommended changes in the street network
at the next meeting July llth.
The Public Hearing was adjourned at 10:00 P.M. until Wednesday, July 11 , 1973.

Consideration of the Lieberman Development. _
Mr. Mendenhall has reviewed the Lieberman Property onwhich a public hearing was
held June 20th.
L/ Mr. Mendenhall motioned that on the basis that be felt some of the subsequent
objections were subject to the driveway that went around the building, that the
driveway not be made continuous around the proposed structure, thereby lessening
objections by the public. He talked to the Buffalo Grove Police Chief and Fire
Chief about making this driveway run continuous and that they are not adverse
• to the idea. Mr. Mendenhall proposed that we recommend annexation of this property
and submit the proposed site development plan to the Village Board on the condition
that the driveway originally proposed for the eastern portion of the property be
deleted. Mr. Lester voted naye, all other commissioners voted aye. Motion was
carried.
Mr. Genrich reported that Mr. Rathjen's Blue Ribbon Committee met again this
evening to discuss the possible merger and other minor changes in the structuring
and operations of the Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals and the Appearance
Commission. Mr. Mendenhall and Mr. Van Engen also attended. The Plan Commission
members generally reiterated the statement that there should be no more than 9
members on the Plan Commission.

Lieberman,Realty
Mr. Stan Lieberman was present. He stated that the sidewalk the Plan Com-
mission had requested he put in along Dundee Road would be 400 feet, Be-
cause of the cost to have this put in, he requested to have the stipulation
that he put the sidewalk in when the pedestrian traffic requires it. Com-
missioner Haarr stated that if this stipulation was pat in the Annexation
Agreement, it would only be valid for five years so he suggested it be at
the discretion of the Village, but not later than five years.
In the Annexation Agreement, Page 2, paragraph 3, Commissioner Haarr suggest-
ed that, at the Hearing for Parcel 2, we amend the first Ordinance to make
Exhibit B supersede Exhibit A. He said he was trying to prevent the break-
ing off and selling of Parcel 2 and allowing the purchaser to build any-
thing he is allowed under B-1. The best way to do this was discussed fur-
ther.
