AYES: Goldspiel, Krug, Braiman, Rubin, Howard and Rosenston NAYES: None ABSTAIN: Rubin ABSENT: None The motion passed 6 - 0 - 1 SANTUCCI PROPERTY, ANNEXATION, ZONING & PRELIMINARY PLAN Mr. Rosenzweig reviewed the location of the site, the surrounding developments and stated the Buffalo Grove Master Plan calls for the types of uses they are proposing. All of the property is under one ownership. Forty acres will be open space. They have some natural floodway conditions through the property. They have created large lakes for the compensatory storage. Deerfield Parkway will be a 5 lane street. He reviewed renderings of what the site will look like from the air, the types of buildings they wish to construct and the concept plan. The density, according to the developer taking into account the entire 28 acres for the multi-family, is 8.3 units per acre. The Village reviewed the density excluding the floodway and it is 11.65 units per acre.By the next workshop, Trammell Crow should have a presentation on the 28 acre multi-family site. Mr. Finkle reviewed the hotel site with the aid of renderings. This parcel is approximately 290,000 square feet. There is a right turn in/right turn out on Milwaukee AVenue to service this site. Mr. Rosenzweig stated the commercial property is 156,000 square feet with a grocery anchor and soft good-speciality type uses. There are no specifications for the outlots yet. There will be 4 outlot buildings. That Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Special Meeting - April 12, 1989 - Page 2 might not be the final exact count. The outlot on the corner would have access from Milwaukee Avenue, the other outlots would have access from the shopping center. They will be asking for a variation on the slope of the retention areas from the required 6:1 to a 4:1 slope. The only ponds that would be interconnected are the two that the bridge goes over. The Village would have no maintenance responsibility for the ponds. They will arrange for an association to take care of them. Ms. Larsen stated the Park District would be interested in talking to the developer regarding the open space that will be available for recreation. Mr. Pfeil stated that the requirements for the site in terms of open space have not been calculated yet. In response to Commissioner Rosenston, Mr. Rosenzweig stated that the road leading into the residential would be private. Mr. Sabes would like to see a sidewalk along the bus lane on one side of the street. He suggested the developer consider a bus shelter pad near the apartments, and bus pads in the industrial area. Petitioner responded that there would be sidewalks on both sides of the street. Mr. Naefach stated they are proposing a limited service hotel, a Comfort Inn. They cater to the business traveler but would be installing an enclosed swimming pool for their weekend guests. They will also have a fitness room, Fax machine, sauna and whirlpool on site. Commissioner Rubin would like to see an area in the Village for large meetings or seminars. There is no hotel at the present time that offers this service. He feels a need is there and this site could fulfill that need. Mr. Naefach pointed out that they do not have the parking available to service a room of this nature. Commissioner Rhodes feels the project has possibilities but did not like the outlots in the commercial center. Commissioner Braiman would like to see the multi-family moved closer to the single family abutting the property. He feels the multi-family is isolated in its present location. Commissioner Howard likes the concept of the layout for the multi-family. She is concerned with the berming between the Santucci site and the unincorporated residential area on the south. She felt the outlots for the commercial area were excessive. Commissioner Goldspiel would like to see the residential made to feel it is part of the Village. He also feels it is isolated. He is concerned with the out buildings, parking for the supermarket and setback of the hotel near the residential. He suggested access to the unincorporated area as that site only has one access and that is onto Milwaukee Avenue. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Special Meeting - April 12, 1989 - Page 3 It was suggested by Chairman Sheldon that construction linking the bike path to the north with the rest of the Village will provide that connection. Ms. Andrea stated her homeowners association would like to meet with the developer to discuss this plan. Commissioner Krug was concerned with the commercial outlots, would like to see the bike path joined with the one on Milwaukee Avenue and sidewalks on both sides of the streets. He did not feel the residential belonged in its location on the plan. In response to Commissioner Krug, Mr. Rosenzweig stated there is one small area that is considered wetland on the plan. The Corp of Engineers did notfeel it was significant. Commissioner Rosenston felt there are too many curb cuts on Milwaukee Avenue. The first curb cut on Milwaukee Avenue is too near the intersection. He did not feel the apartments belonged on this plan and feels the hotel/motel site is too small for a large banquet type operation. Mr. Carmignani gave an overview of the traffic for the site reviewing a study he had done for the Corporate Center in June, 1987 which included this site. He stated that what the developer proposes is not inconsistent with the June, 1987 study. He felt: 1. Milwaukee Avenue will have 2 sets of three lanes of traffic in each direction, with dual left turn lanes at the intersection. This developer should supply a 75' right-of-way from centerline for that. 2. Deerfield Road should be 40 to 45 miles per hour, and designed with that in mind. The posted speed limit may not be that high. 3. Milwaukee Avenue and Deerfield Parkway will need sufficient right-of-way after intersection improvements. 4. Access for the commercial outlots can be from an internal driveway. Both of first two driveways in that area could be eliminated. 5. He recommends against the right-in/right-out on Milwaukee Avenue 6. He suggested dual left turn lanes on Milwaukee onto Deerfield Parkway. 7. There should be a stop sign at Barclay for traffic turning onto Deerfield Parkway in order to discourage cut through traffic using Barclay as an alternate southbound route. Commissioner Krug suggested the developer be responsible for the cost of the entire improvement of Deerfield Parkway on his site.

Plastic bags versus paper bags was discussed and the Trustees agreed that they would delay a motion to ban plastic bags from the Village until retailers in Buffalo Grove are contacted regarding this issue. RIVERWALK, NORTH PHASE Mr. Beechick reviewed the location of the site. The originally approved plan from two years prior did not include the parking they are placing on this site for the approved plan. The approved project has shifted slightly to the north to make room for a right-of-way on Milwaukee Avenue. This has infringed on property that is not currently in the Village. They will have 157,000 square feet of space in three building. There will be 1 four story office building and 2 single story buildings. Buildings D and F will be office buildings and Building E will be a service center. Access to the buildings will be through Riverwalk Drive. If this plan is approved, they will have 36 acres in total for all of their 5 buildings - two that are already approved and the three new buildings. Their overall floor area ratio is .19 for the current plan and .415 for the entire Riverwalk development. The current right-of-way in Lake County is pushing north of Riverwalk Drive and will have to be vacated. They would establish a new road network to service this site and Phase I. They have not worked out their engineering yet. They desire to work out continuity of this plan with the approved plan. They would like to carry the variations from Phase I through to this site. The present site has Forest Preserve between the site and the river. Fronting the site on Milwaukee Avenue are 2 restaurants to the north, an office building and gas station and a restaurant and animal hospital next. There are no wetlands on the site. They are trying to gain access to the Forest Preserve to obtain recreation amenities for this site. The smallest type of user for the service center would occupy 4000 square feet. They are hoping for a restaurant in one of the office buildings. Mr. Olsen passed out a list of variations and reviewed them. Commissioner Goldspiel did not feel the Riverwalk concept established in Phase I is being carried through to this site, with the exception of the variations. He was concerned with reducing setbacks, reducing right-of-way and opposed to cutting back parking stall spaces outside the garage. Mr. Beechick said the stall variations were for the garage only. Commissioner Braiman was concerned with loading docks facing Milwaukee Avenue. There is not much green space on the plan. Commissioner Howard was concerned with the loading docks. She requested that reasons be given at the next workshop for the approved variations on Phase I as she was not on the Commission when it was approved.
