DAY CARE ORDINANCE
Mr. Pfeil reviewed his memo to the Plan Commission dated September 15, 1989
titled Child Day Care in Residential Districts. He noted that for child care
for three or fewer children, the home occupation regulations are proposed to
be amended to allow outdoor play in rear yard areas.
Trustee Glover asked if someone runs a day care center it is right that he
imposes an increased liability in terms of insurance on his neighbors.
Commissioner Rubin was concerned with the increased liability for neighbors
of a day care.
Commissioner Goldspiel was concerned with the increased noise and number of
children but not the increased liability.
Commissioner Howard felt the Village is over regulating child care. She felt
it is important for the children to be able to go outside both in the front
and back yards.
Commissioner Braiman felt children in day care should be in the home or in the
back yard.
Mr. Raysa reworded Section B 1. to read "Where day care is provided an
outdoor play area is permitted. Outdoor play should be in the yard and shall
be supervised. Children shall not leave the day care providers property
unless supervised."
The Commission was polled if a play area should be permitted in other areas
than the rear yard.
Ayes: Howard, Rubin, Rosenston, Charlette
Nayes: Goldspiel, Krug, Rhodes, Braiman and Sheldon
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that if the Village allows 8 children in home
day care some provision should be made for employees.
Commissioner Braiman pointed out several text changes to the ordinance.
Mr. Raysa brought up the question of how to best license the special use day
care people. He stated penalties need to be contained in the ordinance in
answer to Commissioner Rosenston.

unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting. Chairman Sheldon adjourned the
meeting at 10:45 P.M.

The exhibits were those contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to the Plan Commission
dated September 15, 1989 titled Arlington Toyota-New Building and Addition
and Petitioner's Exhibits I, II, III a and B and IV.
Mr. Jostes reviewed the changes to the plan:
1. Added trees to the plan, the green space on the west side shows
trees and shrubs plus additional trees in between the existing
landscape to provide a barrier.
2. Changed the face of the building on Dundee. It will have fluted
brick on the bottom portion and the top portion of the building
will be metal. The building is 20' high and the fluted brick will
come up about 12' . The body shop will have fluted block on the
west and north walls.
3. They have added landscaping on the west side of the body shop as
well as the west building wall of the body shop.
The service addition is higher than the existing building. The roof of the
service area that was below the show room will be higher than the show room
when the edition is complete. There are leaving the area behind the
buildings gravel. They do not intend to use it for parking.
Mr. Pfeil noted that if cars were going to be stored in the gravel areas they
would have to be paved.
Mr. Biederwolf stated that in 1974 the developer approached the MSD for a
permit for the detention of the entire site. This plan doesn't change those
figures.
Mr. Jostes stated the driveway to Old Arlington Heights Road will have a stop
sign and they will identify it on the plan. One of the reasons for the
addition is to put in a parts storage area, which is what Toyota requires.
Mr. Jaydos stated the owner has a basement storage area but it does not
operate as efficiently as the proposed addition. Between the parts
department there is a wash rack and parts service. The only way to increase
their space is to put in the second floor. Otherwise they have to go out into
the parking lot which would take up valuable parking space.
They are willing to consider another material on the north side of the
service building rather than metal. Mr. Jostes suggested Dryvit as an
alternative. They could have the entire north elevation in Dryvit. He has
no problems with guaranteeing the height of the building. The service
building will be 24 feet in height, but the roof needs a slope which could be
8 inches or 9 inches, so the height at the peak would be 24 feet, 9 inches.
The service building will be 24 feet in height.
Mr. Jaydos stated that the metal building is a pre-built building and they do
not know the exact dimensions until the manufacturer tells them.
Commissioner Rubin was concerned that the service building in back will be
viewed from the front of the lot along the street.
Commissioner Rhodes concurred with Commissioner Rubin regarding the height of
the building.
Commissioner Howard was concerned with the height of the building also.
Commissioner Charlette liked the plan.
Commissioner Goldspiel felt the height of the roof facing Dundee is the
problem. He did not like the metal material either.
Commissioner Rosenston was concerned with the 24' building height instead of
16' and a solid metal wall. He stated the new elevation if 8' higher than
the existing roof. The peak of the roof to the ground is 26'.

Mr. Raysa asked if the plan A-3 is scaled.
Mr. Pfeil stated it is scaled to the architectural scale. The west elevation
is 25 feet.
Mr. Raysa stated there is no parking of vehicles south of the black top
currently marked service vehicles.
Mr. Elbrecht stated if they need additional parking they will pave the gravel
area.
Mr. Jostes stated they agree to change the label from "service vehicles" to
"future vehicle parking". There are no roof top mechanicals. There will be
no roof top equipment.
Mr. Elbrecht stated the dumpsters will be in the back.
Moved by Commissioner Krug, seconded by Commissioner Charlette that the
Public Hearing be continued to a time when the petitioner can give the Plan
Commission dimensions on the plan, location of the trash areas and how
they will be screened. The petitioner will re-submit the site plan and
building elevation sheets with all revisions and dimensions.
Ayes: Krug, Howard, Braiman, Rubin, Rosenston and Charlette
Nayes: Goldspiel and Rhodes
Abstain: None
The motion passed 6 - 2.
There will be a special meeting on this hearing on Wednesday September 27,
1989.
