Mr. Stan Haarr attended the meeting of August 6, 1969. With that correction, Mr. Bud Berth moved that the minutes be approved and Mr. Donald Zitzewitz seconded. The motion carried unanimously. It was noted that Mr. Stan Haarr was present at the current meeting and this was in fact the third such meeting Mr. Haarr had attended. Mr. M. Hoyt moved that Stan Haarr be appointed to the Commission as a regular member and that the name of Mr. Stan Haarr be submitted to the Village Board of Trustees as a member of the Commission for approval. Mr. Bud Berth seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. It was announced that Mr. Hank Cimaglio had been appointed to the Village Board of Trustees and had therefore resigned his appointment to the Planning Commission on August 18, 1969. Mr. Bud Berth moved that the resignation of former chairman Hank Cimaglio be accepted with regrets. Mr. Donald Zitzewitz seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. At this point, discussion of a possible trailer ordinance for the Village of Buffalo Grove occur. It was noted that Rolling Meadows had recently adopted a new ordinance. Mr. M. Krugly promised to obtain a copy of the new Rolling Meadows ordinance to be distributed to the members of the Planning Commission prior to full discussion of a Buffalo Grove trailer ordinance. Mr. Donald Zitzewitz was assigned the task of working up a back- ground report on trailer ordinances in general, that report to be ready within two to four weeks . q;44514 It was reported to the meeting of the Planning Commission that we will receive secretarial aid when new girls are hired after the new Minicipal Building is completed. It is also possible that we may get some assistance before that time. The chairman then brought to the attention of the Commission the fact that a certain area zoned R-9 in the Village had only single family dwellings constructed thereon. This area is known as the Widner area. At this point, the question came up as to whether R-9 zoning can be changed to a lower zoning figure - single family only - for the protection of single family owners in the area. On motion duly made seconded and carried Mr. M. Krugly was re- quested to ask the Village Board of Trustees for an opinion from Mr. R. Rasa as to the legality of such a change in zoning. It was noted that there have been no further approach to the Plan- ning Commission from those individuals in charge of the Collendac project. For that reason, further consideration of the Collendac project will be dropped from the adjenda until the next advance is made from the interested people. It was reported to the Commission that the Millcreek Plan was given final approval by the Board of Trustees as to the site laid out. The Commission approved the site layout pending final fire and engineering approval. It was reported to the Commission that the Board of Trustees had turned over to it' s own legislative committee the Planning Com- missions recommendation as to a '# foot height limitation in R-9 zoning area. Mr. Charles R. W44theeme, regional engineer for Levitfand Sons presented for final approval the complete platting in units 11, 12 and 13 of the Strathmore area. Four copies of each unit was turned over to the Commission. One of the copies was turned over to the Village engineer. Further action as to Planning Commission approval of the final platting is now scheduled for September 3, 1969. It was brought to the attention of the chairman of the Planning Commission that the new members did not have Buffalo Grove zoning ordinance manuals and also did not have the sub-division regulations. It was strongly suggested that sufficient copies be obtained so that each member might have them. e A full discussion of Commission duties as to the sub-division regulations for preliminary and final approval of planned sub- divisions followed. During this discussion it was brought out that section 7A of the sub-division regulations relating to pre- liminary approval of sub-division platts be amended as apparently they were far too detailed for preliminary approval stage. Further discussion of possible amendment of the sub-division regulations was postponed til the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission to follow the general business of the Com- mission on that date. Mr. Carl Genrich then brough to the attention of the Planning Commission that Cook County was Making an effort to set-up a county wide Planning Commission to govern unincorporated areas of the County. It was suggested that the letter be drafted ex- pressing our Planning Commission support of that proposal. Further discussion of this matter was also postponed until the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission. Proposed adjenda for the next meeting: 1. Final approval of Levittplatts for units numbers 11, 12 and 13. 2. Possible amendment of said section SA of the sub- division regulations. 3. Discussion of the drafting of a letter of support to the Cook County officials currently engaged in setting up a county wide Planning Commission. 4. Possible discussion of trailer ordinances if new material is ready for distribution to members of the Commission. Next regular meeting of the Planning Commission was set at September 3, 1969. On motion made by Mr. Bud Berth and seconded by Mr. Donald Zitzewitz the meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, C .. Merrill C. Hoyt Secretary
