SANTUCCI PROPERTY Since the last meeting Trammell Crow will be the residential and commerical developer,and they are trying to get their hotel partner involved. They have made a number of revisions to the former plan which are: 1. Regarding the engineering for the compensatory storm water storage, they have added 13.5 acres of surface water storage. This has resulted in a loss of land for development. They will have lakes on both sides of the road and plan to use a weir. This has been presented to the Village Engineer in concept only. y 2. The Deerfield Parkway curves to the north. 3. An emergency access road for the Pekara residential area is provided. 4. An additional 25' of right-of-way on Milwaukee Avenue will be provided. 5. One curb cut onto Deerfield Parkway has been removed. 6. The water area is concentrated into one location and they plan on making it an amenity. They are talking to the Park District about maintenance and recreational use of the water area. 7. They have tried to address the linear effect of the garages as much as they can. They are still working on this. 8. They will provide pedestrian access to bus stops along Deerfield Parkway; the sidewalk system will connect to the future park and ride facility at Commerce Court. 8. The 4 out parcels are all on Milwaukee Avenue frontage. The water on the south side of the road will remain private and stay in the hands of the apartment developer. There is a sanitary sewer that adjoins the creek. They have not determined the depth of the creek. The plan is being reviewed by IDOT. The apartments will be 65% 1 bedroom, 35% to 40% 2 bedroom units with 3 unit types. They will range from 630 to 1200 square feet renting from $675 to the thousands. Each building will have all three types of apartments. The buildings will have 20, 24 and 36 units. The restau- rant in the outlot would be a high end facility. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - September 6, 1989 - Page 2 The hotel would be a full service unit with 5 to 6 meeting rooms that could be combined, 150 to 175 rooms; a pooland exercise area; a restaurant and bar; and a library. Garages for the apartments would rent from $65 to $75 per month. Each apartment has a storage closet off of the patio. There will be laundry rooms in each building. Ten percent of the units are for corporate renters. Trammell Crow will maintain the buildings. The streets will not be dedicated. Parking for recreational users of the large lake could come from the industrial, or retail or take out some of the water storage, put that in another location and use that space for parking. Chairman Pro Tem Goldspiel suggested: 1. Setbacks from the parking lots to the buildings be reviewed. 2. Sidewalks connecting the apartments to the parking. 3. The tennis court not be in the middle of the court yard between buildings. 4. A good face on the back side of the shopping center. Commissioner Rosenston felt that depending on the use for the outlots, the plan could become crowded. The Commission concurred that one of the outlots could be removed from the plan. Ms. Andre stated her association took a poll of the residents and they voted in favor an emergency access. Mr. Pfeil stated he has been given a letter from the Pekara Homeowners Association indicating the vote favoring the emergency access road. Mr. Smith requested confirmation of the location of the weir. Mr. Sabis suggested concrete pads for bus shelters be put on the plan. The developer is willing to work with the Village on this providing they have a say as to where these pads would go. Commissioner Rosenston likes the residential where it is. Commissioner Krug felt the residential is totally isolated from the balance of the Village. Commissioner Charlette felt the residential plan is a bit too dense. Commissioner Howard felt the plan was an improvement over the last plan. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - September 6, 1989 - Page 3 Commissioner Rhodes felt the plan was an improvement over the last plan. He did not like the outlots. He did not feel the residential was separated from the Village. Commissioner Rubin felt the plan was dense but he could live with it. He did feel there were too many outlots.
