Change the B-2 provisions to B-1.

The Plan Commission also recommends to the Village Board that the Village Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance to insure that the portion of Betty Drive adjoining the Hinze property be legally annexed to the Village. The Plan Commission also recommends a 10-foot right-of-way for the purpose of sanitary sewer facilities be dedicated to the Village along the western portion of the property from Dundee Road back for approximately 105 feet and that a 5-foot dedication be made along the western �./ portion of the property for the rest of the distance of the lot. This motion was seconded by Mr. Haarr and was passed unanimously by a roll call vote. Mr. John Teevan, Attorney representing the property at 3408 N. Betty Drive, submitted a Petition for Annexation.

This property will be used as a publishing house office for National Highway Directory, Inc.

Commissioners Present: Chairman Genrich, Messrs. Berth, Yost, Harris, Haarr, Friedman, Mendenhall, Gamm, and Mrs . Spence. Commissioners Absent: Messrs. Fader and Hoyt. Also present were Mr. Arnold Seaberg, Village Engineer, Mr. Robert Grossman of Associated Planners, Mr. William C. Hitzeman, Superintendent of School District 96, Mr. William J. Kiddle, President of the Buffalo Grove Park District, Mr. Alan Caskey, Buffalo Grove Park District Planner, Mr. Stanley Crosland, Director of Parks and Recreation of Buffalo Grove, and Mrs. Dede Armstrong, Park Commissioner. Mr. Genrich read aloud the Public Notice, announcing this hearing as published in THE BUFFALO GROVE HERALD on March 20, 1972. Mr. Fred Hillman, Executive Vice President of Chesterfield Development Corporation, Mr. Herbert Zaltzman, Vice President of Chesterfield, Mr. Martin Schwartz, Architect, Mr. Don Fielding, Engineer, Mr. Marlin Smith, Lawyer, and Mr. Mike Schiltz were sworn in by Mr. Genrich. Mr. Hillman distributed brochures and small-scale repro- ductions of the Site Plan to the Plan Commission members. \./ Mr. Hillman petitioned for a preliminary plat of 300 townhouse units with 60 two-bedroom and 240 three-bedroom units on 32 acres on the northeast corner of Arlington Heights Road and Lake-Cook Road. The original agreement called for 435 apartments. This concept is no longer desirable because of the Village 's consideration that they have only single-family or residential type construction and, market-wise the public is not interested in rented apartments in this area. Public Hearing April 5, 1972 Page 2 Mr. Schwartz explained the land use and the Site Plan. There would be an outlet onto Arlington Heights Road and Lake- Cook Road with decelleration lanes at each one. While Chester- field would be required to have 510 parking spaces, they will \./ have in excess of 600. The buildings are all two (2) story units. The maximum building height will be 34 feet. All outdoor landscaping and maintenance would be taken care of by the Promontory West Homeowner 's Association. All recreation facilities, streets, and other open areas will be owned by the Association. Mr. Smith stated that all exterior maintenance on the homes will be done by the Homeowner 's Association and at their expense. The funds will be obtained by yearly assessment to the homeowner. Street cleaning and plowing will also be done by the Association rather than by the Village. Mr. Schiltz testified that the tax impact will remain almost the same as with the original apartment proposal. The tax per student will be considerably less in District 96. High School District 125 will be about the same per student. There will be a positive tax flow for the Park District. Mr. Fielding said he will submit a preliminary engineering analysis. The drainage of the storm sewers will be to a detention pond. He feels they can use the existing sanitary sewer. Mr. Bill Hitzeman said he is not happy about the fact that this proposal would bring in 247 students versus the 96 students the apartments would have generated. He said Mr. Hillman will be donating $30, 000 to the Village and $25, 000 to the School District, but he still felt this money is inadequate. He has not yet presented this proposal to the School Board so he said he would tentatively accept this money, but stresses that it is inadequate and he could not speak for the rest of the School Board members. Mr. Hitzeman then distributed copies of his statement to the Commission members. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Hillman for specifics on the plans for the recreation facilities. Mr. Hillman said these have not been worked out yet. r /9 Public Hearing April 5, 1972 Page 3 Mr. Bill Kiddie of the Park District had no rebuttal at this time because of lack of specific information. He said the useable open area will conform to the standards set of one (1) acre per 1,000 residents. However, he felt the recreation mix was far greater with the original proposal than with this proposal. The recreation building appears to be mainly business offices. There is no space large enough for a baseball field. The recreation mix is not in keeping with the three-bedroom unit plan. The Homeowner's Association (even with the proper mix) should be under municipal regulation. There are several conditions the Park District would have as to the layout of the parks and recreation facilities, and he asked the Chester- field representatives to put their ideas in writing. Mr. Stan Crosland feels it is difficult to get to the park facilities and they are not centrally located. The same applies to the detention basin. This neighborhood is far removed from any planned or existing Park District facilities and schools. Total space for the recreation building is quite small. Tennis courts will occupy 1/3 of an acre, leaving L./ inadequate facilities for the residents not interested in this form of recreation. Dede Armstrong feels there should be a pool and ball park. Our swimming pool facilities in the northern section of the Village will be insufficient with this many new residents coming in and was disappointed that a swimming pool was not left in the plans. Mr. Kiddie said even though the Park District will receive tax money, there is a lack of land to develop facilities and it will be important that this development supply most of its own recreation facilities. Mr. Smith feels it is not appropriate to criticize Chester- field's proposal on the basis of what is needed for this entire area of Buffalo Grove for recreation facilities because their facilities will be for the development residents only and not for the public. He asks the Commission to consider the extent to which we are going to ask contributions from a developer. If needed money and land is gotten from the developer it will, in turn, be passed on to the mortgage of the homeowner and then they will be paying it over a longer period of time at a higher rate of interest. He feels taxes are a better answer. s �4 077'9 Public Hearing April 5, 1972 Page 4 Mr. Caskey said the Park District is looking for good quality recreation even though it is understood it is not for general public use. `a./ Mr. Genrich asked to continue this Public Hearing at 8 :00 P.M. Wednesday evening, April 19, and suggested that the devel- oper get together with the Park District at their next meeting a week from this Thursday, April 10. He suggested Mr. Kiddie make up what he feels is the ideal recreation facility plan that he would like to see implemented in this development so the Plan Commission has something to work with in making their decision. Mr. Genrich also asked Mr. Hillman for a sample sketch of their ideas for the recreation areas. At 11 :00 P.M. , the Public Hearing was recessed until 8 :00 P.M. , April 19.

Berth, Yost, Harris , Haarr, Friedman, Mendenhall , Gamm, and Mrs . Spence. Commissioners Absent: Messrs . Fader and Hoyt. Also Present was Mr. Arnold Seaberg, Village Engineer. Mr. Genrich read aloud the Public Notice, announcing this hearing as published in THE BUFFALO GROVE HERALD on March 20 , 1972 . Mr. Mark H. Beaubien, an Attorney with A. F. Wild, and Mr. Charles F. Hinze were sworn in as witnesses. Mr. Beaubien testified that his client would like to amend the original petition from B-2 to B-1 zoning. The petitioner would like to have additional zoning and would like the right to develop to within five (5) feet of the property behind them in the event that property is developed under B-1 zoning. Mr. Hinze testified that he teaches ceramics , but there will be no teaching at first because of the size of the planned shop, but he has plans to expand. He will sell ceramics supplies , finished gift wares , and craft items . He and his wife have been in the business for fourteen (14) years . Mr. Beaubien said any additional building structure will be submitted to the Plan Commission for approval. Mr. Berth asked about the water and sanitary sewer system. Mr. Hinze said they have their own water and septic system now. He is willing to grant the Village a 10 foot easement 100 feet back on the west side for sewer. He will use his own well and septic system until the property behind him is developed. He would consider tying in to the Village sewer system if Kemmerley Real Estate puts in a sewew along the west side of his property. Mr. Beaubien and Mr. Hinze agreed to strike paragraph 5 of /6 Public Hearing April 5 , 1972 Page 2 the original petition after questioning by Mr. Harris . After questioning by Mr. Yost, Mr. Hinze agreed that at the time his second building is constructed, he will hook up to the Village water and sanitary system. Mr. Berth made a motion to adjourn the Public Hearing at 8 :47 . The motion was seconded by Mr. Haarr. Respectfully submitted, Recording SecreAry Approved: Carl Genrich, Chairman
