The following exhibits were presented by the petitioner at the
public hearing:
Exhibit A: Site Plan Rendering
Exhibit B: Landscape Plan dated March 20, 1993
Exhibit C: Preliminary Plan dated April 13, 1993
Mr. Broihier stated that the petitioner, Emro Marketing Company is
petitioning for annexation to Buffalo Grove. The site is a 1.9-
acre tract north of Lake Cook Road on Milwaukee Avenue, contiguous
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Public Hearing-April 21, 1993-Page 1
to Riverwalk North. He noted that approximately 200 feet of
footage is on Milwaukee Avenue and has a central retail area
consisting of approximately 3, 000 square feet as well as four pump
islands able to serve eight automobiles and there are 18 parking
spaces located on the site.
Mr. Broihier further stated that the new landscaping consists of
berming and vegetation in the driveway areas as well as some new
and existing trees.
Mr. Broihier stated that stormwater drainage is collected from the
surface of the asphalt into a drainage area which then drains into
a swale and is removed from the site without increasing the rate
of flow. He further stated that the Village Engineer has
indicated that the manner in which stormwater is removed from the
site is acceptable.
Mr. Broihier stated that this is an existing site that depends on
its business coming in from Milwaukee Avenue. Therefore, two
driveway curb cuts on Milwaukee Avenue are essential to their
business. He noted that they are willing to restrict the south
driveway on Milwaukee Avenue to right,-in, right-out turns. He
further noted that it is his understanding that in the future an
non-mountable median is to be placed on Milwaukee Avenue,
and this will eliminate left turns into the site from southbound
Milwaukee Avenue traffic.
Mr. Broihier noted that they have removed the proposed driveway
which had been located on Riverwalk Drive closest to the
intersection with Milwaukee Avenue. However, he noted that they
do not agree with the Village traffic consultant's recommendation
to move the Mercier Avenue driveway to the south portion of the
site. He stated that this will cause a problem for the
petitioner's business. He noted that the petitioner requires the
Mercer curb cut on the north end of the property in order to allow
for easier traffic flow from the rear islands. Mr. Broihier noted
that Mr. Carmignani's argument is that the Mercier cut on the
northeast section of the property will create drive through
traffic to the north. However, if people are predisposed to do
so, they will make this movement. He further noted that transport
traffic will need the Mercier Drive cut to exit the property after
refueling, thereby eliminating hazardous and impossible turns in
order to exit the site.
Mr. Broihier also stated that the petitioner will accommodate the
easement for the sidewalk along Riverwalk Drive although the swale
may have to be moved slightly.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted that the sidewalk is part of the
Village's bikepath system. He noted that a bikepath is 8 feet wide
and asked if that would be a problem.
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Public Hearing-April 21, 1993-Page 2
Mr. Broihier noted that there are underground tanks, ventilation
holes and the swale located on that part of the site. Therefore,
only the ordinary width of a sidewalk can be accommodated.
Mr. Kuenkler stated that there is approximately 8 or 9 feet
between the back of the curb and the parkway. Therefore, if some
of the width comes from the parkway, and part of the width from
the subject property, the bikepath can be accommodated. 5 feet of
width can come off the parkway and 3 feet can be on the subject
property.
Mr. Broihier stated that the petitioner will accommodate the needs
of the Village for the bikepath under those circumstances.
Mr. Kuenkler noted that the owners of the Riverwalk North project
are responsible for building the sidewalk.
Mr. Schumann stated that this plan can be accommodated.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if a sidewalk is needed on Milwaukee
Avenue and Mercier Avenue.
Mr. Schumann noted that a sidewalk already exists along Milwaukee
Avenue.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if, a sidewalk is required along
Mercier Avenue.
Mr. Kuenkler stated that the Riverwalk North plan requires a
sidewalk on the east side of Mercier.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if the Village Engineer is satisfied
with the provisions for stormwater drainage on the site.
Mr. Kuenkler noted that the site was built under Lake County
standards. He noted that storage is on the pavement and discharge
is through a storm sewer and swale which runs overland.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that the driveway on Riverwalk is in
the right location. He further noted that he agrees that the
driveway on Mercier would seem to be in the correct location for
the flow of traffic on the property. He asked how the petitioner
would encourage the south driveway to remain a right-in-right-out
only driveway.
Mr. Broihier noted that signage would be the main encouragement
and that the non-mountable median on Milwaukee in the future would
solve most of the problem.
Commissioner Goldspiel inquired if the driveways meet Village
standards for driveway widths and asked if the south driveway on
Milwaukee Avenue could possibly be narrowed to encourage the
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Public Hearing-April 21, 1993-Page 3
right-in-right-out concept.
Mr. Kuenkler noted that the Village ordinance for driveway width
is 35 feet.
Mr. Francus stated that transport trucks require the 35 foot width
on this driveway as they must use this driveway to entire the site
so that they can unload between the building and the pumps.
Commissioner Rosenston asked if some kind of traffic control
island would be used on the south Milwaukee Avenue driveway to
restrict turning movements.
Mr. Broihier noted that this station has been operating for eight
years without any problems and further noted that the economic
viability of the facility requires both driveway entrances on
Milwaukee Avenue. He said signage would probably be the best way
to regulate turning movements.
Chairman Silbernik stated that based on his own experience, he
understands the need for the south driveway on Milwaukee Avenue
and noted it would be a severe business hardship to remove that
driveway.
Mr. Broihier noted that the petitioner would like annexation
within Buffalo Grove, but the issue of two driveways on Milwaukee
is a major concern for the petitioner.
Mr. Francus stated that he had visited the Mobil station on the
corner of Dundee Road and Arlington Heights Road and noted that it
is in a similar position to the subject site. He further noted
that the Mobil station also had two curb cuts onto Dundee Road
which is where the majority of traffic is likely to come from.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if it would be possible to limit
right turns on the red light going from Riverwalk Drive north onto
Milwaukee Avenue.
Mr. Kuenkler stated that if conflict occurs in the future this
could be a useful restriction.
Commissioner Krug stated that he has never seen much conflict at
Milwaukee Avenue and Riverwalk Drive.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted that this possible solution should be
kept in mind for future use.
Commissioner Krug reiterated the fact that he has not seen any
conflict at the intersection of Riverwalk Drive and Milwaukee
Avenue. He noted his one concern is with the south drive on
Milwaukee Avenue but signage could be used to try to keep traffic
on a right-in-right-out basis. He also stated that he would like
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Public Hearing-April 21, 1993-Page 4
to see the Mercier driveway located at the northeast side of the
site.
Commissioner Rhodes noted his concern with the drainage and the
south driveway on Milwaukee Avenue. He inquired how the transport
trucks leave the site now.
Mr. Francus stated that the trucks pull into the south driveway,
unload on the right and then go around to the back of the station
and out the north driveway.
Mr. Broihier noted that the transport trucks do not usually arrive
at peak rush hours.
Commissioner Rhodes inquired if there had been any comments from
the Fire Department.
Mr. Pfeil stated that the Fire Department had reviewed the plan
and found no problems with access but noted that the location of
the underground tanks would need to be verified.
Commissioner Howard noted her agreement with leaving the Mercier
driveway where it is presently proposed. She stated that the non-
mountable median on Milwaukee will make the right-in-right-out
driveway sufficient. She asked if trucks use the station and if
diesel products are sold.
Mr. Basler noted that they offer some diesel products, but the
station is not designed for truckers, so this type of business is
limited at this station.
Commissioner Rosenston noted that the Mercier driveway belongs on
the northeast corner of the site.
Chairman Silbernik noted agreement with the northeast corner for
the Mercier driveway. He inquired what the chances are that the
petitioner would be back before the Commission to ask for the
cther curb cut on Riverwalk Drive once the Milwaukee Avenue median
is in place.
Mr. Broihier stated that it is very unlikely they would ask for
another curb cut on Riverwalk Drive, especially since they were
told the Commission did not want same.
There being no further comments or questions from anyone present,
Chairman Silbernik closed the public hearing at 7:50 p.m.

COMMITTEE AND LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Samuels attended the Village Board meeting of April
19, 1993 and reported the following items:
1. Boston Chicken has requested a minor change in the P.U.D. at
Town Center for outlot #2 which has been approved for a 2,000
square foot facility. They are requesting a 3, 000 square foot
restaurant with no drive in facility so that the parking will
not need to be changed. The Board passed this request and it
now goes before the Appearance Commission.
2 . Discussion held regarding the ongoing negotiation with the
Village of Wheeling regarding Malnati's proposed parking lot
which is in Wheeling. Since Wheeling does not allow a free
standing parking lot facility without a building on the
property, they cannot zone the lot. Therefore, that piece of
property would be de-annexed from Wheeling and annexed by
Buffalo Grove so that Malnati's could expand its lot.
Additionally, the property on the northwest corner of Lake
Cook and Buffalo Grove Road would come into the Village which
would cause the Village to become responsible for the
maintenance and traffic control of that entire intersection.
SPEEDWAY SERVICE STATION, 923 N. MILWAUKEE AVENUE -- ANNEXATION
IN THE B-3 DISTRICT AND APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAN
Moved by Commissioner Samuels, seconded by Commissioner Genell to
recommend approval of the petition to the Village for annexation
with zoning in the B-3 Planned Business Center District and
approval of a Preliminary Plan for the existing Speedway service
station at Milwaukee Avenue/Riverwalk Drive subject to:
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 21, 1993-Page 2 it
- I
1. Provision of an easement along Riverwalk Drive to permit the
construction of an 8-foot bikepath as shown on Exhibit C in
the public hearing.
2 . The installation of signage to restrict ingress and egress of
the southernmost curb cut along Milwaukee Avenue to right-in,
right-out access.
Commissioner Goldspiel inquired about the landscaping plan.
Mr. Schumann referred to the landscape plan legend and noted the
proposed plants and berms on the corner of Riverwalk Drive and
Milwaukee Avenue as well as further plantings along Milwaukee
Avenue frontage.
Mr. Samuels noted that the petitioner had addressed the concerns
regarding the property expressed by staff and the Commission and
he could see no adverse effects in annexing this property to the
Village. He further noted that this property has been operating
for the past eight years without any problems and this plan merely
improves on the existing facility.
Commissioner Rhodes asked what kind of sales tax revenue could be
expected.
Mr. Francus stated that the facility has gross revenues of
approximately one-half million dollars per month.
Chairman Silbernik noted that the plan is consistent with the
commercial designation of the Village's Comprehensive Plan for
this area, and the petitioner has done a very good job in
addressing the concerns and desires of the Commission.
Chairman Silbernik called for a vote on the motion and the vote
was as follows:
AYES: Goldspiel, Krug, Rhodes, Howard, Rosenston, Samuels,
Genell, Berman, Silbernik
NAYES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: None
The motion passed 9 to 0.
ZONING ORDINANCE - PROPOSED AMENDMENT CONCERNING CHILD DAY CARE
HOMES IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS -- WORKSHOP #2
Mr. Pfeil stated that several issues regarding the Village's
zoning regulations for child day care homes needed to be reviewed.
First, the ordinance currently approves a special use for two
years with a re-application including a public hearing required to
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 21, 1993-Page 3
- - I
renew the special use. A related issue is that the special use
ordinance for a specific day care provider is made concurrent with
the provider's license from the Illinois Department of Children
and Family Services. In some cases the DCFS license expires
sooner than the two year period used as the Village's special use
term.
Mr. Pfeil further stated that another issue concerning day care
homes that needs to be addressed is the authorization of special
uses for single-family homes in the R-8 and R-9 Districts.
Mr. Pfeil asked the Commission to address the need for a more
streamlined process for residents and care givers to obtain
special uses, particularly regarding the burden of a public
hearing every two years.
Commissioner Rosenston asked if there was any way to ascertain
comments from neighbors regarding specific day care homes.
Mr. Pfeil noted that the Village could solicit comments after the
first permit is up for renewal. He also noted that typically
people tend to come in with specific bomplaints if those exist.
Mr. Pfeil noted that perhaps a query could be instituted when a
permit is about to expire and only if complaints are brought
forth, would a public hearing be necessary.
Chairman Silbernik suggested that a special use could be
automatically renewed subject to no substantiated complaints
having been filed. Then the special use could be renewed without
the need for a public hearing thereby eliminating an extra burden
on the Corporate Authorities.
Mr. Raysa noted that in effect a new special use is being
approved, so that's why the Zoning Ordinance now has the
requirement that a second hearing be held.
Chairman Silbernik stated that the special use could be pulled by
the Corporate Authorities at the recommendation of the staff but
otherwise the special use stays in effect.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that there is a very real difference
between revoking and failure to renew a special use. Therefore,
the concept that the Plan Commission wants to implement should be
clarified, and drafting of the actual ordinance language can be
done by the staff.
Chairman Silbernik concurred with Commissioner Goldspiel.
Commissioner Samuels noted concern with the fact that complaints
may come in to various Village Departments and be lost in the
shuffle. He noted that some organization would be needed to
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 21, 1993-Page 4
oversee this aspect.
Mr. Pfeil noted that an effort would have to be made to educate
every department that day care problems must be directed to a
specific person or department for handling.
Commissioner Samuels asked how far in advance a notice soliciting
comments about a specific day care home would need to be sent.
Mr. Pfeil stated that two month period of time might be best to
allow for any unforeseen problems.
Chairman Silbernik stated that different concepts are being mixed
together in the current discussion. He noted that he is speaking
of an ongoing special use unless the Corporate Authorities find
reason to revoke that special use, at which time a public hearing
would be necessary.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted that a renewal process is not the
same as a revocation process, and it can be difficult to revoke
a special use once it has been in effect for a period of time.
Commissioner Samuels asked if the Village is apprised of the
status of State licensing.
Mr. Pfeil stated that the Village Health officer receives a
periodic list of all State licenses.
Commissioner Rosenston noted that the basic issue is the
revocation or renewal process and whether the two year requirement
needs to be changed.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if the special use terminates if the
property changes hands.
Mr. Raysa stated that the special use stays with the property.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that it should be changed so that
the use terminates upon transfer of the property.
Mr. Raysa stated that it would be better to tie this in to the
licensing rather than the special use.
Commissioner Samuels noted that there may be any number of reasons
why title to a property may change but ownership remains the same
and licensing would be preferable rather than terminating the
special use. He noted that the DCFS license is issued to a person,
not a property.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if the special use terminates if the
special use ceases to operate.
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 21, 1993-Page 5
Mr. Raysa stated that under the current zoning ordinance the
special use does terminate if the use ceases to operate, and the
Zoning Ordinance uses a one year time limit for a discontinued
special use. He further noted that the time period for special
uses is under review at this time.
Chairman Silbernik noted that the assumption all along has been
that there is a renewal process for special uses. However, he
stated that he would like to make the process less burdensome on
the petitioners.
Mr. Raysa noted that the Village has the right to revoke a special
use for violations of the conditions of approval. Secondly, the
renewal period can be any length of time unless there is a
revocation.
Chairman Silbernik said that an automatic renewal process seems
reasonable unless there are complaints. In that case, a hearing
should be required. In essence, the use would be permanent unless
revoked.
Commissioner Samuels asked if this concept means that a public
hearing is required unless it is waived because no complaints were
made.
Mr. Raysa noted that the concept of "vested rights" is pertinent
in this discussion. He said that a petitioner could make the
argument that there are vested rights allowing the continuation of
the special use. He indicated that he will have to research this
area concerning this type of special use.
Commissioner Samuels asked if the ordinance can be phrased so that
there is a two year review with public hearing. However, under
certain circumstances the public hearing aspect may be waived
given that the license is still in effect, that the staff has
determined that there have been no complaints, and that there has
been notice to neighbors within 250 feet within 90 days of the
scheduled public hearing and that there have been no responses.
Trustee Hendricks suggested that this type of special use renewal
could be put on the Board's agenda for approval on the consent
agenda, based on all criteria having been met.
Commissioner Krug stated that he does not think that the current
requirement for a public hearing after two years to renew the
special use is an overly burdensome or expensive process for
petitioners. He noted that this protects the Village and everyone
owning property near the special use home.
Commissioner Samuels suggested that a renewal be based on
verification that the DCFS license has been renewed. In addition,
the renewal would be subject to inspection of the home by the
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 21, 1993-Page 6
Village staff. If the applicable standards and criteria are
being met, and no complaints are on file, the special use would be
automatically renewed.
Chairman Silbernik noted that only a few words need to be added to
Section 17.28. 060.c if the two year requirement is to be retained.
He that it appears to him that the Village is severely restricting
the ability of people to operate day care homes.
Commissioner Howard concurred with Chairman Silbernik.
Commissioner Rosenston noted that since the state does inspections
of day care homes, it seems redundant to do the same thing over
again.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted that the state is not looking at day
care homes as a land use within a residential neighborhood; DCFS
is just concerned with the conditions in the home and the
qualifications of the day care provider.
Chairman Silbernik stated that he would modify his concept to
reflect an initial review after two years to see if the use has an
impact on the surroundings and then it becomes permanent unless
revoked.
Commissioner Berman stated that from a land use point of view a
day care home can have an impact on a residential neighborhood,and
that possibility needs to be recognized in designing appropriate
zoning controls. He said this type of use should remain subject
to periodic renewal. It would be unwise for the Village to create
an ongoing right for people to operate daycare homes, subject only
to revocation by the Village, because that could increase the due
process burden on the Village to discontinue a special use when a
day care home is causing a negative impact on a neighborhood. The
burden should remain on the petitioner to re-establish the right
to continue the special use.
Commissioner Berman suggested that the process be streamlined so
that a public hearing can be optional if the Village determines
that there have not been substantive complaints or other problems
with a particular day care home. The Village could solicit
comments from neighbors, and if no complaints are received,
the special use could be re-issued by Village Board approval on a
consent agenda.
All Commissioners were in favor of Commissioner Berman's
suggestions.
Cindy Trayner, 2318 Acorn Place, noted that it is a financial
burden being placed on her as she not only pays for the business
license but that she pays for state licensing and other items.
She is only allowed to have 8 children including her own, and she
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 21, 1993-Page 7
and other day care providers are not making a great deal of money.
Additionally, a lot of time is already expended in having various
inspections made. She noted that when she started two years ago
there was no information available to her regarding any Village
ordinance requirements and suddenly there seems to be a whole list
of requirements that she was unaware of, particularly the need for
a fence.
Mr. Pfeil noted that he personally sends out packets of
information to anyone requesting information regarding a special
use for a day care home.
Vickie Chmielewski, 151 Lilac, asked if she would be notified if
there is a complaint lodged against her.
Mr. Pfeil noted that this could be made a policy and notification
mailed to the day care provider of a complaint having been lodged.
Commissioner Samuels noted that there is a need to have continuous
monitoring of safety standards.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted that the-Plan Commission is not the
one to monitor safety. The Commission's duty is to monitor land
use issues.
Chairman Silbernik stated that it would appear the Commission
agrees that it should stay with the program it has now with the
modification that unless there is a legitimate reason to hold a
public hearing, same be removed and the matter be put onto a
consent agenda for renewal by staff recommendation. That would
eliminate the cost of a public hearing and the cost of a renewal.
The only qualifier to be added is that the first renewal must have
a public hearing which would be for everyone's protection.
Chairman Silbernik further noted that he would like staff to
investigate what should be done about unlicensed day care homes
which is a big problem.
Commissioner Samuels noted that he would like the day care
operator to get their license for the full two year period.
Mr. Pfeil noted that when the Zoning Ordinance was amended in 1990
the special use was limited to the R-E through R-7 Districts.
Commissioner Goldspiel commented that some of the single-family
lots in the R-8 and R-9 Districts are fairly small, and it may be
difficult to provide adequate outdoor play areas.
Commissioner Samuels noted that a public hearing g would still be
required in which case the neighbors would be able to air any
concerns, and the Commission would determine if the respective
petitioner could meet the applicable standards. Therefore he does
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 21, 1993-Page 8
not see a problem with a special use permit in the R-9 or R-9
District, assuming that the standards can be met.
Commissioner Rosenston noted that the number of children allowed
could be restricted if necessary.
Commissioner Genell asked would will be done with those people who
are not complying with the special use requirement.
Mr. Pfeil stated that civil penalties would be pursued if a day
care provider does not comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
Commissioner Genell stated that something needs to be done about
the people who do not have DCFS licenses and are therefore unknown
to the Village.
Mr. Pfeil stated that if the Village does not know about them, the
only way to learn about them is if people come in with complaints.
Commissioner Genell stated that perhaps some information regarding
the special use ordinance for day care providers could be included
in the Village newsletter.
