There was considerable discussion regarding the fact that there
was no clause in the Agreement providing for sidewalks along
Arlington Heights Road and Aptakisic Road. Mr. Campbell said
they have discussed this with Mr. Larson and, the Village Board,
two months ago, agreed to Levitt putting no sidewalks along
Arlington Heights Road in Strathmore 11, 12 and 13 because it
would be undesirable to have sidewalks along a major thorough-
fare. Commissioner Mendenhall was asked to check into this.
Chairman Genrich stated that there are children riding bikes
and walking along Arlington Heights Road and ourconcern is that
there will be no sidewalks put in until someone is killed. It
is also our thought that this new area could become just as busy.
At a vote of 6-2, it was agreed to change this sentence on Page 8,
Paragraph 13, to reads "On Arlington Heights Road and Long Grove/
Aptakisic Road, the Developer agrees to provide sidewalks and/or
screening utilizing plant material, fencing, mounding, or other
buffer as desired by the Village. "
Rex Lewis said the Park District has agreed to accept the dona-
tion of 10 acres open space referred to on Page 7.
Mr. Brandwein said that, in order to bring the question of the
lake to an issue, we would like to add to Paragraph 19 that the
• setback shall be 50 feet and let the Plan Commission recommend
it be deleted and then it can be resolved before the Village
Board.
Commissioner Harris made the motion the Plan Commission recommend
to the Village Board the approval of the Annexation Agreement as
presented and amended with the stipulation that, in Paragraph 19,
everything after the phrase "shall be fully complied with" shall
be stricken. Commissioner Friedman seconded the motion. A voice
vote found the followings
Ayes: Comm' s. Friedman, Harris, Yost, Gamm, VanHoorebeke,
Mendenhall, and Chairman Genrich
Mayes: None
Abstains Comm. Rech
It was asked that the records show that the Village Engineer will

The public meeting dates for the presentation of the Master Plan
