COMMITTEE & LIAISON REPORTS Commissioner Krug attended a Village Board meeting where a proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment concerning the proposed commuter rail site was referred to the Plan Commission. There was a pre-application conference for the Mormon Church concerning the Fiore property at the southwest corner of Port Clinton Road and Prairie Road. Trustee Reid noted that the Commission members had received a packet on the extension of Route 53. He encouraged members to review the packet and write their state representatives and other elected officials. WOODLEY APARTMENTS AT MILL CREEK The site is located at the corner of Old Arlington Heights Road and Miller Lane. The developer, Mariotte Management, proposes 52 apartments with 2.5 outside parking spaces per unit. The site is compatible with the Mill Creek Condominiums. Mr. Goslin reviewed the elevations of the buildings. The buildings will be solid masonry with wood and block construction. The windows are all aluminum frame. They feel several of the purchasers will purchase two or more buildings. The grounds of the property will be condominimized for maintenance. Each building owner will pay a fee to keep the maintenance of the green areas and parking lots. The interior common areas are the responsibility of the building owner. The developer will check with his condominium management firm to see if they have any authority over the owners in terms of maintenance of the common elements. The units will be composed of 2 bedroom, 1 baths, 850 square feet renting at $630.00 per month and a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 800 square foot unit at $575.00 per month rental. The buildings will sell for $235,000.00. The rental does not include cooking gas or heat. Each building has a washer and dryer unit on the first floor. Each apartment has its own gas forced air and air conditioning unit. The buildings will have front and back stairwells. They will sell the buildings fully leased. Their firm can manage the buildings or the individual owner can. There are 3 properties in Glenview they have constructed similar to this. One to view is at the Deerlove Triangle where their third project is under construction. They feel this product will appeal to young singles, young couples or empty nesters. The developer is trying to work with the Mill Creek condominium association adjacent to them. They will buffer the swimming pool area with a berm. They are trying to contact the Chrysler corporation to see if they can use their detention pond for this site's detention. If not, they would put their detention in the green space surrounded by three of the buildings. They are willing to dig out the pond and pay their pro rated share for its upkeep. They will conform to all of the village ordinances without any variations. The roads would be private. They feel build out will be in one year and they will not phase it. They have extended the driveway from 24' to 25' . It was pointed out that the setbacks were not and now are still not in conformance. Commissioner Rhodes felt this product does not fit into Buffalo Grove. It will be a low rental apartment project next to homes. The developer was directed to address the following items for the next workshop: review the donations he has to make to the Village, the parking widths, to bring a landscape plan to the next workshop, show pedestrian access and access for transportation. How will this project impact the school district. Look into providing sidewalk along the roadway into the site. The building footprints of the adjacent property should be drawn on the plans. Mr. Carmignani will be directed to review the plan for the next workshop and specifically look at the traffic pattern and parking. Mr. Pfeil will check to see if Miller Road is a private road and if donations were made under the old PUD for this site. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - January 4, 1989 - Page 2 Commissioner Rosenston was concerned with the type of ownership. Commissioner Rubin suggested that this be built as a complete condominium. Chairman Sheldon called a recess at 9:15 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 9:23 P.M. ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Mr. Pfeil stated the site at Busch Parkway and Commerce Court has been selected for the commuter rail station but is not funded. Negotiations to purchase this site are still in progress. PACE is interested in this site for a park and ride bus operation. The Zoning Ordinance has to be amended to allow a mass transit facility as a special use in the Industrial District. He will provide information on the bulk requirements for this site at the next workshop. It was suggested by Chairman Sheldon that some thought be given to a two story parking building in the future when funds become available. FUTURE AGENDA SCHEDULE January 18, 1989 there will be a workshop on the Kimball Hill site and the Peter David Property. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Commissioner Rosenston, seconded by Commissioner Krug, and unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting. Chairman Sheldon adjourned the meeting at 9:37 P.M.
