the District some amount for the sanitary sewer that the
District installed to service its propery. Dr. McGee con-
cluded his remarks by indicating that District 102 is ex-
periencing unprecedented growth in its student population,
and the District needs to have an adequate tax base to fund
its educational programs. The proposed light industrial
project by Abbott will have a positive fiscal impact on
District 102 .
Mr. Maurides asked if School District 102 objects to the pro-
posed industrial development.
Dr. McGee replied that the District does not object to the
proposed development.
Mr. Maurides inquired if the proposed fencing and sidewalks
to be constructed on the Abbott property are adequate for
the School District.
Dr. McGee stated that the plans he has seen for the IBT
site are acceptable, but he would want to review plans for
future uses on the other lots.
Mr. Swanson of Illinois Bell stated that IBT has similar
maintenance facilities in a number of suburbs, and for the
proposed facility in Buffalo Grove they looked for a site
... with the least impact on adjacent properties. The site is
bounded on the east by the railroad tracks, and on the south
there is a wooded area screening the site from the Windbrooke
Apartments and the school property. Mr. Swanson said the pro-
posed maintenance building would have an area of approximate-
ly 38, 500 sqaure feet, and although the construction will be
metal , masonry will be used on exterior walls for aesthetic
purposes. The site will have approximately 60 construction
and installation vehicles, and 70 employees. Traffic to the
site occurs at about 7 :00 a.m. in the morning, and service
vehicles are usually gone from the site by 8:00 a.m. In the
evening service vehicles return between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.
Mr. Swanson noted that water use at the facility is less than
a residential house. He said that the structure will have
masonry on three sides. The site is aproximately 5.2 acres,
and a special use is being requested for an outside storage
area. Materials including poles, cable reels, sand, gravel ,
and trenchers would be kept in the storage area. A storage
building would be used to hold dry nitrogen and propane.
Mr. Maurides stated that the items stored by IBT are neces-
sary tp serve the public convenience, and he inquired if any
of the materials would be injurious to surrounding areas.
`.. Mr. Swanson said none of the materials would be injurious
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission-Public Hearing-December 5 , 1990
Page 3
to surrounding properties.
Mr. Maurides asked why a variation is being requested of the
.� Village's standard concerning paved parking areas.
Mr. Swanson stated that the variation is requested for the
storage area so that a macadam surface can be used. If bitu-
minous paving were used, some of the materials such as the
cable reels and trailer ends would sink into the asphalt.
Also, the traffic from trucks and equipment would break up
the asphalt. Mr. Swanson noted that the storage area and the
non-paved surface will be at least 150 feet from any residen-
tial area, and it will be enclosed by a solid fence.
Mr. Swanson stated that a variation is also being requested
concerning the Village's requirement for curbing in parking
areas. He indicated that IBT wants a waiver of the curbing
requirement along the west property line and along the south
edge of the parking lot as well as in the outside storage
area.
Mr. Kuenkler stated that curbing should be required in all
paved parking areas to ensure proper overland flow of storm-
water. In his opinion, economic considerations are not a jus-
tification for variations.
Commissioner Rubin inquired if Mr. Kuenkler recommends pay-
`-' ing the storage area.
Mr. Kuenkler replied that the Village does not have any other
stone parking areas.
Mr. Swanson stated that IBT will take measures to control
dust in the storage area, and they have added more paving
to their plan to reduce dust from vehicles moving in the area
adjacent to the storage area.
Chairman Sheldon asked if a sidewalk will be built to the
school property.
Mr. Vondra stated that he will build a sidewalk along Weiland
Road on his property, and along one side of the internal
street in his development.
Chairman Sheldon inquired about the variation concerning the
location of the fence along the south property line.
Mr. Vondra reviewed the Preliminary Plan concerning the lo-
cation of the fence and retaining wall , and said the var-
iation would allow the fence to be slightly offset from the
property line.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission-Public Hearing-December 5 , 1990
Page 4
Commissioner Bratman expressed concern that children might
walk on the retaining wall portion of the fence system.
`-' Mr. Glenn of Abbott indicated that the wall only occurs
along the IBT site, so it won't be accessible for child-
ren • from the school property.
Commissioner Rubin said the proposed fence and wall along
the south property line should not interfere with exist-
ing trees.
Mr. Vondra said he would work with the Village and School
District to place the fence in the most suitable location.
Chairman Sheldon inquired about the maintenance of the non-
paved storage area, and if it would create dust.
Mr. Kuenkler said that dust could become a problem if the
non-paved surface isn't properly maintained.
Mr. Kupfer stated that the parking surface would be a water-
bound material so dust will not be a problem.
Chairman Sheldon asked why a variation of the street right-
of-way requirement is being requested.
• Mr. Maurides replied that the street will be a local road
serving a limited area, and Village staff had indicated that
the Plan Commission might look favorably on the reduced
right-of-way if it would make the economics of achieving a
loop road more feasible for Abbott and adjacent landowners.
Mr. Pfeil stated that the right-of-way variation would be
reasonable in the context of developing a loop road for the
entire industrial area on the east side of Weiland Road,
including the Abbott site. The proposed 66-foot width assumes
that a sidewalk will be built on only one side of the street.
Mr. Vondra said right-of-way could be added on the north side
of the street if a sidewalk is needed on both sides.
Chairman Sheldon asked for an explanation of the variations
requested for the stormwater detention area.
Mr . Vondra explained that a wetland area will be preserved,
so underdrains are not needed, and the sides of the pond will
not need to be mowed.
Mr. Kupfer stated that wetland plants such as sedge will be
used in the pond area.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission-Public Hearing-December 5, 1990

Chairman Sheldon _ inquired if there will be any drainage
impact on adjacent properties such as Aptakisic Junior
High School .
Mr. Vondra stated that he has assured School District 102
in .writing that the Abbott site will not add any storm-
water to District 102's property. Mr. Vondra noted that
his company has cleaned out a drainage culvert on the
Wisconsin Central Railroad property east of his site
and the school property, and this should prevent the
school property from flooding. He indcated that the school
property is 14 feet higher than the culvert, so if water
is flowing in the culvert without restriction, the school
property should not flood. Abbott' s engineering plan for
overland stormwater flow will take water farther east
than the current stormwater flow, and this overland flow
will not affect the school property.
Mr. Raysa indicated that the Appearance Commission will
make the determination about the type of fence and its lo-
cation relative to Abbott's south property line. The Appear-
ance Commission would evaluate aesthetics and impact on
adjacent properties in determining if the fence should be
on the property line or if it could be set back from the
property line.
Commissioner Rubin asked how the cul-de-sac could be extended
if a loop road to adjacent properties is needed in the fu-
ture.
Mr. Vondra said the Abbott plan shows a 66-foot wide right-
of-way extending from the cul-de-sac to Abbott' s east and
north property lines. This was done at the request of Vil-
lage staff who think a loop road should be developed for this
area.
Commissioner Rubin inquired how the future right-of-way
would be treated in the annexation agreement.
Mr. Maurides suggested that a "sunset provision" should be
used to require Abbott to dedicate the right-of-way for a
defined period of time. If adjacent property owners do not
wish to annex and share in implementation of the loop road,
Abbott should not be required to dedicate right-of-way and
delay its development indefinitely. Mr. Maurides said the
loop road concept is a policy decision that rests with the
Village Board. He stated that Abbott wants to be treated
equitably concerning the costs of the loop road, and would
expect to be re-imbursed by adjacent property owners for a
fair share of the costs. He suggested that the loop road may
not be needed if a single large user develops the tract north

north of Abbott's. s i to.
Commissioner Braiman said the Plan Commission had expected to
see an overall road plan for the area up to Thompson Boule-
vard, and he is disappointed that this plan has not been
provided by the developer.
Mr. Vondra said he has some exhibits that could be used to
illustrate the loop road plan. He presented plats showing
properties north and east of the Abbott site, and he indica-
ted a possible alignment for the loop road. Mr. Vondra ques-
tioned the need for the loop road, stating that the acreage
involved is fairly small , and parking lot connections in-
stead of a street could be used for emergency access.
Mr. Vondra stated that he would agree to reserve right-of-
way to provide access to the property east of his site, but
he would expect a recapture payment from the adjacent owner.
For the north segment of the loop road, he would be willing
to dedicate a half right-of-way of 33 feet.
Commissioner Rubin asked what would happen if a user pur-
chased proposed Lot 2 immediately, since this lot would be
encumbered with the 33-foot dedication.
Mr. Vondra said the 33 feet of right-of-way would be commit-
ted in the annexation agreement, so any use of Lot 2 would
have to be consistent with this requirement.
Commissioner Rubin asked if a tree survey has been submitted
for the Abbott site.
Mr. Pfeil said a survey has been submitted, and he has dis-
cussed it with the Village Forester and Village Engineer,
but a written report from staff has not been done yet.
Commissioner Braiman suggested that the annexation agreement
could handle future right-of-way dedication as an option to
be executed at the direction of the Village.
Mr. Raysa said the annexation agreement could be drafted as
suggested by Commissioner Braiman.
Commissioner Howard asked for a presentation of the proposed
landscaping plan for the IBT site.
Mr. Basil reviewed the landscaping plan, explaining the use
of deciduous shade trees and pine trees.
Commissioner Charlette inquired if sand and gravel would be
stored on the IBT site.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission-Public Hearing-December 5 , 1990
Page 7
Mr. Swanson said .sand and gravel would be stored at the site.
Commissioner Braiman asked about the right-of-way required
to be dedicated along Weiland Road, and he asked if street
lights are required.
Mr. Kuenkler said a dedication of 11 feet of right-of-way is
required along Weiland Road, and street lights are required.
Mr. Maurides stated that Abbott will meet applicable ordin-
ances concerning these requirements.
Commissioner Braiman asked if IBT's storage shed would be
fenced.
Mr. Swanson said the storage shed would not be fenced, but it
would be inside the storage area, which will be fenced.
Commissioner Braiman asked for a presentation concerning the
tree survey, and he asked if Abbott intends to remove any
trees.
Mr. Vondra reviewed existing trees on the site, noting that
most trees occur along the Weiland Road frontage and in the
southeast corner of the site in the wetland area. He stated
that trees on the site will not be removed.
Commissioner Braiman inquired about the size of the proposed
storage shed.
Mr. Maurides said a 60-foot by 20-foot "envelope" is being
proposed, with the exact location to be subject to Village
approval .
Commissioner Braiman asked if the Village Engineer accepts
the proposed 2: 1 slope in the stormwater detention area, the
proposed retaining wall , and the waiver of underdrains.
Mr. Kuenkler said the variations would be acceptable if the
stormwater area is developed as a wetland area as represented
by Mr. Kupfer.
Commissioner Braiman asked if proposed Lot 2 would be build-
able if a 66-foot right-of-way is dedicated.
Mr. Vondra said the lot would be buildable with the right-
of-way dedication, but the loss of land is a detriment to
the site, and it would probably have to be developed by a
user needing only a small site.
... Commissioner Braiman asked if the radius of the proposed loop
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission-Public Hearing-December 5 , 1990
Page 8
road is acceptable.
Mr. Kuenkler said the radius appears to be adequate.
Commissioner Braiman asked about proposed lighting for IBT's
parking lot.
Mr. Vondra said the parking lot lights would comply with
Village ordinance.
Commissioner Braiman asked what parking standard is applica-
ble for the IBT use.
Mr. Pfeil stated that the industrial standard of two spaces
per employee is the applicable standard.
Mr. Swanson said the IBT site will have approximately 122 to
125 parking spaces, which will exceed the Village's require-
ment.
Chairman Sheldon asked about gasoline storage at the site.
Mr. Swanson said IBT will install fuel tanks in compliance
with all Federal , State, and local regulations. The tanks
will be removed by IBT if the company ever moves from the
site.
Commissioner Krug asked if pumps will be near the gas tanks,
and if propane will be stored in the storage shed.
Mr. Swanson replied that there will be pumps near the gas
tank , and the propane storage in the shed will comply with
all applicable regulations.
Commissioner Krug said vehicles cannot be stored on the pro-
posed stone parking lot.
Mr. Swanson said IBT needs to be able to store trailers on
the non-paved storage area surface.
Commissioner Krug asked if the non-paved surface has been
included in the impervious area used for stormwater detention
requirements.
Mr. Kupfer said the non-paved surface was included in the
stormwater calculations.
Chairman Sheldon called for comments from public agencies.
Dr. Glenn McGee, Superintendent of School District 102
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission-Public Hearing-December 5, 1990
Page 9
presented a written summary of his comments dated December
5 , 1990, and he reviewed the comments for the record.
Dr. McGee stated that District 102 constructed a sanitary
sewer as part of the expansion of Aptakisic Junior High
School , and the School District expects a recapture of some
of .the cost of this sewer from Abbott Contractors which
will also use the sewer. Also, Dr. McGee asked for the Vil-
lage's assurance that the Abbott development would not put
any stormwater onto the school property, cause any flooding,
or create any damages. Dr. McGee indicated that District 102
constructed 650 feet of sanitary sewer at a cost of $77,000.
He said District 102 wants an equitable recapture from
Abbott since the Village is requiring Abbott to connect to
this sewer.
Commissioner Sheldon asked Mr. Raysa to explain the Village's
liability for flooding caused by a developer.
Mr. Raysa said a developer cannot harm an adjacent property
according to Illinois law, nor can an unnatural accumulation
of water be caused on adjacent properties. The Village, how-
ever, should not make guarantees to the School District con-
cerning damages that may be caused by a developer.
Dr. McGee said that he expects the Village to take a role in
correcting the situation if District 102's property is dam-
aged by drainage from the Abbott site.
Commissioner Braiman inquired about the Village's role in
a recapture to the School District for the sanitary sewer.
Mr. Kuenkler said the annexation agreement for District 102's
property does not include a recapture provision for the san-
itary sewer.
Commissioner Braiman asked if District 102 is concerned about
any aspects of the IBT use such as propane storage or the
gravel storage area.
Dr. McGee said the School District is always concerned about
any use with that has possible safety hazards, but it appears
that the IBT storage area will be quite a distance from the
school property. He said the gravel storage area and outside
storage shouldn't be a nuisance if the area is properly main-
tained and fenced.
Mr. Kossack of the District 102 School Board said the storage
area appears to be an adequate distance from the school prop-
erty, but the District will want to review the project with
IBT to get more details about the storage facility.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission-Public Hearing-December 5, 1990
Page 10
Commissioner Krug said that propane storage when done cor-
rectly is safer than most home barbecue equipment.
Chairman Sheldon called for comments from anyone else in
attendance at the hearing.
Mr. Marc Schwartz stated that he represents the property
owner adjoining the Abbott site on the north east. His
clients are Ed Weiner and Ron Bartlestein of the Concrete
Doctor Company. Mr. Schwartz said his clients' property is
ten feet higher in "elevation than the proposed IBT storage
area, so a screen higher than the proposed six-foot fence
will be needed to adequately protect his clients' property
from the visual effects of the IBT storage area.
Mr. Swanson said that IBT's large vehicles can fit into the
maintenance building, and IBT intends to park the vehicles
in the building. He noted that the Concrete Doctor operation
includes an outside storage area, and the view to this area
is about the same as the view will be to the IBT storage
area.
Mr. Schwartz stated that his clients are willing to annex
their property to the Village, but they need access to Abb-
ott's stormwater detention area, and they need access to
Weiland Road through the Abbott site. His clients will share
costs for stormwater detention and roads on a fair and
equitable basis.
There being no further comments, Chairman Sheldon closed
the public hearing at 10:30 p.m.

Chairman Sheldon read the Notice of Public Hearing as pub-
lished in the Buffalo Grove Daily Herald, explained the for-
mat of the meeting , and swore in persons who were giving
testimony at the public hearing. Chairman Sheldon noted that
the hearing was continued from November 7 , 1990.
Chairman Sheldon asked Mr. Pfeil to review the reports com-
piled by the Police Department and the Department of Building
and Zoning .
Mr. Pfeil stated that the Police Department had observed tra-
ffic at the subject site and the adjacent neighborhood , and
the results of the study are summarized in memos dated Novem-
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm.-Public Hearing-December 5, 1990
Page 1
ber 16, 1990. The:Police Department concluded that parents
bringing their children to the home are using the driveway
V of the residence or are parking in front of the residence,
and traffic at the site does not appear to be causing con-
gestion for the neighborhood streets. The Police Department
did• not observe any illegally parked vehicles on the property
nor. was there any noise from the daycare operation.
Mr. Pfeil reviewed two memos dated November 29 , 1990 from the
Department of Building and Zoning. The memo from Brian P.
Sheehan, Village Health Officer, is a comprehensive report
including items recommended by the Fire Department. Most of
the items cited in the report pertain to maintaining a safe
environment for the children being cared for in the home.
The Director of Building and Zoning recommends that the spec-
ial use be contingent on compliance with all of the items,
and this would be verified by a re-inspection.
•
Commissioner Braiman inquired if any of the recommended cor-
rections have been made.
Mrs. Kozlowski , owner of the property and the provider of
daycare at the home, stated that a first kit aid has been
provided. She indicated that she has some questions concern-
ing the recommended location of smoke detectors and other
items.
Mr. Pfeil said that the Department of Building and Zoning
would discuss the items with Mrs. Kozlowski to make sure that
she understands the recommended corrections.
Commissioner Rubin pointed out that the Village inspection
is not the same as the Illinois Department of Children and
Family Services (DCFS) , and the Village may have more strin-
gent requirements for some items.
Commissioner Charlette 'asked when the improvements would be
made.
Mr. Pfeil indicated that the improvements should be substan-
tially completed before Village Board approval of the spec-
ial use.
Chairman Sheldon asked if the windows in the basement can be
used for escape in a fire.
Mrs. Kozlowski said she thinks the windows can be removed,
but her license from the Illinois DCFS excludes use of the
basement for the children , so she does not allow the children
into the basement area.

Mrs..' Kozlowski said she will make the recommended improve-
ments and comply with the special use permit.
Commissioner Rubin said he is not opposed to the special use,
but he is concerned with the time frame concerning compliance
with Village ordinances.

dustrial District zoning, and a Special Use for an outside
storage area for the proposed Illinois Bell Telephone Com-
pany maintenance facility, with the finding that the outside
storage area meets the criteria for a special use set forth
in Section 17 . 28. 060 of the Village Zoning Ordinance, with
the following variations, subject to the following condi-
tions, and pursuant to the exhibits presented at the public
hearing:
Development Ordinance variations:
1 . Section 16 . 50 . 040.C. 3 . - to allow a side slope
of 2 : 1 instead of 6 : 1 . and a cross slope of one
percent instead of two percent;
2 . Section 16 . 50. 050 . D. 7 . - to allow a sanitary
sewer depth of less than six feet:
3. Section 16 . 50 .070 . D. 2 - to allow a street pave-
ment width of 37 feet instead of 47 feet, and
a right-of-way of 66 feet instead of 80 feet:
4. Section 16 . 50 .070.M. - to allow a non-bituminous
surface for the proposed outside storage area
for the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. facility;
Zoning Ordinance variation:
Section 17 .48. 020. F. 6 . b. - to allow a fence to be
setback from the property line adjacent to a resi-
`..; dential district;
Subject to the following conditions :
1 . The additional street right-of-way of 66 feet as
depicted on the Preliminary Plan for a future
north/south street segment shall be reduced to
33 feet, and the right-of-way shall be located
Buffalo Grove Plan Comm.-Regular Meeting-December 5, 1990
Page 3
up to the property line;
2 . The notation on the Preliminary Plan that the
additional street right-of-way is one-foot
from the property line shall be deleted;
3 . Right-of-way options for streets serving this
property and adjacent properties shall be nego-
•
tiated by the Village Board and staff in the
annexation agreement, and property owners shall
comply with the Village's recommendations;
4. The sidewalk on the north side of the street
shall not be required until lots adjacent to
the sidewalk are developed;
5 . Curbing shall be required according to Village
ordinance on the Illinois Bell site except for
the unpaved surface in the outside storage area;
6 . The proposed fence along the south property line
may be ten feet from the property line, provided
that the Appearance Commission approves the lo-
cation ;
7 . Right-of-way of approximately eleven feet shall
be dedicated along Weiland Road to comply with
Village and Lake County requirements;
8. Street lights and parkway trees shall be pro-
vided for the property as required by Village
ordinance;
9 . All existing trees as as shown on the develop-
er's tree survey shall remain on the property ;
10 . The placement of the 20-foot by 60-foot shed on

al by the Appearance Commission;
11 . Access for maintenance of stormwater facilities
shall be provided on the property, including
the Illinois Bell site;
12 . Development of the property shall be in accord-
ance with Village ordinances unless specific
variations are granted.
Mr. Raysa commented that the variations requested concerning
no sidewalk on the north side of the street and no curbs in
the Illinois Bell parking lot are not granted by the motion,
because the Plan Commission has determined that the sidewalk
will be provided when the adjacent lots are developed, and
