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 . Page 1 i 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. 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.

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.

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.
