There was an informal question and answer session prior to the Village Board meeting for residents. The major concern was the speed limit on Buffalo Grove Road. There was some discussion on recycling. Topics covered at the Village Board meeting were: 1. Residents removing a decorative wall, i.e. , entrance markers into a development. 2. The Park District gave an overview of the water park they are planning on installing between Route 83, Busch and Buffalo Grove Roads. 3. The Peter David Property Public Hearing was held, this site was approved by the Village Board. 4. Discussion on Woodley Park Apartments. The Village Board agreed with the Plan Commission 5. Subdivision grading completion in Westchester. Commissioner Braiman commented on a meeting regarding the retail center at Checker and Buffalo Grove Roads that received a negative recommenda- tion from the Plan Commission. In attendance at this meeting were Commissioner Braiman, Chairman Sheldon, President Clayton, Trustee Glover, the Village Manager, the Village Planner and the developer. A number of questions raised were discussed. The biggest problem was the use of the property. The developer will go back and see if they can put residential on this site However, they purchased the property as B-3 and do not know if it is economically feasible to put residential in that location. Commissioner Goldspiel attended a Transportation Commission meeting on July llth where the intersection of Busch Road and Milwaukee Avenue and the intersection of Deerfield Road and Milwaukee Avenue were discussed. Mr. Carmignani's and staff's comments were discussed. The Transporta- tion Commission concurred that the left lane on Busch Parkway should be both left and right turn to improve the traffic onto Milwaukee Avenue. An advisory committee is being formed on the construction of an aquatic center on Busch. Mr. Pfeil will try to obtain current information for the Plan Commission on this item. ARLINGTON TOYOTA, 935 W. DUNDEE ROAD Mr. Jostes stated the existing facility was built 20 years ago as a Chrysler dealership. Toyota needs to expand the existing service department. With the new construction, looking at the building from Dundee Road you will be viewing a building wall that is set back over 340' . This wall will be mill siding. The spray booth, inside the building, will have an exhaust fan. You will not see any roof top equipment. There will be unit heaters inside the building. There will be some sky lights in the body shop. The west elevation will contain a man door and 2 sets of overhead garage doors. The east elevation will be the same as the west. The internal site traffic pattern will remain the same. Parked cars will be no closer to the residental than they are presently. They will repatch the driveway but there is no change in the parking patterns or storage detention. There will be additional parking and body shop storage. The dealer is just accommodating the growth of his business with this construction. Mr. Jostes will provide the Commission with the state emissions requirements. There is no intent of putting a sign on the body shop. Construction should take about 6 months. The service parts addition will take the existing elevation and extend it outward. The fuel tank has been removed and he will provide documentation to this fact. Commissioner Goldspiel would like to see landscaping on Old Arlington Heights Road on the west and on the south side of the building. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - July 19, 1989 - Page 2 - i Landscaping around the perimeter would be a good screen. He felt this new building did not belong in the B-4 zoning. Staff will look into landscaping near the detention area and engineering constraints. Mr. Pfeil stated it is 500' to the closest residential area south of the site. Commissioner Rhodes suggested that the new building be made out of different materials, something more decorative as it will be 20' high and seen from Dundee Road and Arlington Heights Road. Mr. Hruby and Mr. Raysa will verify for the Commission that a body shop is a permitted use in the B-4 District. Commissioner Krug stated the south elevation doors could use a more aesthetically pleasing look. The north face of the service extension should be masonry. For the next meeting the developer will bring samples or photos of buildings using the materials they are considering. KNOPF"S SUBDIVISION, LOTS 1 & 2 Mr. Bodenstein stated the site is in unincorporated Prairie View. He reviewed the location of the site, the surrounding uses and zoning. They are asking for R-2 zoning for the two lots. Lot 1 is vacant. They are asking for a variation for the front and side yard requirement of the R-2 District as there is a home and garage on Lot 2 that would require this variation. It would be a hardship to move these buildings in order to comply with the zoning. Currently there are stubs for sewer and water adjacent to Lot 2 that could be connected. Lot 1 will have a home built on it in the future which would be in full compliance with the R-2 requirements. Second Street has never been legally dedicated, it is part of the Woodlands Unit 15. The alley will be coming in as part of the annexation. They are currently installing a well because the present well has gone dry and there are residents in the home. They plan to hook up to Village water. Mr. Pfeil stated the alley right-of-way is in existence and is part of the annexation. He will see if the alley can be vacated and who's responsibility this alley would be. Staff will check into the require- ments regarding the well presently being drilled and hook up with the Village water. FUTURE AGENDA There will be a meeting August 2, 1989 ADJOURNMENT Moved by Commissioner Rhodes, seconded by Commissioner Howard, and unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting. Chairman Sheldon adjourned the meeting at 8:44 P.M.
