Chairman Sheldon read the notice of Public Hearing as published in the
Buffalo Grove Herald, explained the format of the meeting , and swore
in Messrs. Salathe, Green and Hanson.
Exhibits presented at the meeting were an aerial photo of the area
(Exhibit 1 ) , the original Site Plan dated 9/21/89 (Exhibit 2 ) , the
revised Site Plan dated 3/28/90 (Exhibit 3 ) , the Conceptual Building
Layout Plan dated 3/14/90 ( Exhibit 4 ) , and the Preliminary Engineering
Plan, revised 4/20/90 (Exhibit 5 ) .
Mr. Salathe addressed the Commission stating their request is for site
plan approval and approval of two variations for development of the
1 . 62 acre site for a retail building material and hardware store as
permitted under the existing B-1 zoning. He indicated previous
concerns of the Commission related to: the right-in entrance to the
property off of Weiland Road; circulation through the site with the
main entrance at the southwest portion and a pick-up and loading area
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - May 2 , 1990 - Page 1
at the north end of the building; the location of the entrance to the
building in relation to the location of the parking on the side with
the majority of the parking available at the north end of the building
rather than by the entrance ; a substandard building setback dimension
at the south property line ; and sidewalks along Weiland and Aptakisic
Roads .
Mr. Salathe stated the final site plan shows the drive-thru loading
area relocated to the southern end of the building to minimize any
conflicts with traffic in the parking areas . The building entrance is
now more centrally located both with respect to the building and the
parking . The seasonal display area will now be fully enclosed and
roofed over, compatible to the remainder of the building .
Mr. Salathe indicated they have eliminated the right-in off of Weiland
Road and have placed signage along the rear of the building and down
to Old Weiland Road. Additional parking has been placed at the
southern end and they have provided access drectly off the sidewalks
into the site at the main entrance off of Weiland, and attempted to
increase the green space around the building .
Mr. Salathe stated they had provided the additional right-of-way
requested by the Village along both Weiland Road and Aptakisic , and
extended an 8-ft . sidewlak adjacent to Aptakisic from the intersection
across the detention area to the east property line . He indicated
they had worked out with the Lake County Highway Department a 99-year
lease for the portion of the Old Weiland Road right-of-way to be used
for detention and provided for extension of the water and sewer lines
as requested by the Village .
Mr. Salathe said the building is 21 , 605 st . ft. with 86 parking spaces
provided, indicating staff has stated the variation from 87 required
spaces is not a problem. The other requested variation relating to
side slopes he indicated is a minor consideration as the detention
area is only 2 . 9 ft . deep.
Mr. Salathe pointed out on the site plan the increased green spaces ,
curbing for the handicap, doors to the building shifted to open areas
for more green space, and the addition of walks corssing the access
points to the driveways as required by the Engineering Department .
Mr. John Green, architect , reviewed the conceptual building layout
plan, noting the building consists of a main floor level and a
mezzanine for storage . The loading and pick-up area is located inside
the building with overhead doors to open for access . This is located
centrally as are the entrances and exists permitting a single cashier
location.
In reviewing the Engineering Plan, Mr. Green stated the detention area
is located in the Old Weiland Road right-of-way and is a dry detention
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - May 2 , 1990 - Page 2
basin with a maximum 2 . 9 ft. depth. He stated a 16 in. water main has
been extended along the west side of Weiland and south side of
Aptakisic to allow water service to enter at the north end of the
building and two hydrants are developed along that line pursuant to
Village Engineering request , as well as two off-site hydrants
requested by the Fire Department. An 8 in. sanitary sewer line has
been exgended along the south end of the Lexington development
crossing under Weiland Road and entering at the southwestern portion
of the building .
Commissioner Rubin asked Mr. Kuenkler about the side slope variation
and he explained that the requested slope is about what is currently
existing and should be fine.
Commissioner Rhodes asked if there were fire doors on the eastern
portion of the building and if the seasonal display is enclosed. Mr.
Green explained the display area is part of the building itself under
a continuous roof and is accessible only from inside the building . In
response to another question from Commissioner Rhodes, Mr. Green
idicated there would be no speakers or public address system outside
the building.
Commisisoner Howard inquired about the doors and suggested they be
marked so only small items be moved through them and larger items be
picked up in the loading area. Commissioner Howard also asked about
use of the fork lift and Mr. Green explained its use would be limited
to the southeast portion of the building for pick-up and loading with
access to the mezzanine . The fork lift would not move through the
store itself.
Commissioner Charlette asked about the landscaping at the north end
with the concern that people would walk through it . Mr. Green noted
they had continued the sidewalk along the north end and moved the door
to the west end. Commissioner Charlette also asked about the saw
which Mr. Hanson stated is a circular saw located inside the building.
Commissioner Braiman inquired about the location of the HVAC units .
Mr. Green stated they would be interior, located on the mezzanine.
Some controls may be located outside on the ground toward the north
end. Mr. Green agreed that in the absence of detailed plans for these
controls they would commit to their being fully screened by
landscaping .
Commissioner Braiman also inquired bout the parking configuration to
determine if another space could be accommodated.
Commissioner Braiman then expressed concern about the lease with the
Lake County Highway Department for the use of the Old Weiland Road
right-of-way for detention which could potentially expire as opposed
to having a perpetual easement which would run with the land.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - May 2 , 1990 - Page 3
Mr. Salathe stated he had a copy of the permit from the Lake County
Highway Department for use of that area, but that it does not
stipulate a date or time period for validity. Brief discussion
followed with the Village Attorney.
Commissioner Braiman then addressed the issue of the type of business
and operation anticipated confirming that the types of materials that
can be picked up at petitioner' s wholesale facility located down the
road can also be obtained here, and therefore it does not really fall
into the category of a hardware use as allowed in a B-1 district.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked how deliveries would be made to the
�.� store . Mr. Hanson indicated a tractor-trailer would come in one time
per week from their supplier to deliver smaller items . Larger items
would be brought in as needed from their distribution yard by fork
lift down Old Weiland Road to an area at the south end of the building
housing items such as plywood. Discussion followed regarding how
trailers would have to back in to unload. Mr. Hanson noted this would
be only once a week for a brief period of time .
Commissioner Goldspiel confirmed that Old Weiland Road had now become
a Village street and asked about necessary improvements to bring it
into conformance with Village standards . Mr. Kuenkler noted a
sidewalk and street light would be provided but curbs and gutters are
not proposed. Commissioner Braiman suggested that if petitioner is
not required to provide these improvements when other developers
across the street come in it would be difficult to require of them,
although Commissioner Goldspiel noted the area across the street is
not likely to be developed.
Mr. Green commented that they had already committed to substantial
off-site improvements and the additional cost would be an excessive
burden. Mr. Kuenkler commented on the condition of the road which he
indicated is sufficient and well paved and indicated that the
condition of the road in the future would likely be the same even
without gutters . Commissionr Rosenston stated there is already
substantial truck traffic so he would not expect deterioration as an
effect of additional truck traffic . Discussion followed regarding
ordinance requirements for road improvements . Mr. Kuenkler suggested
that curbs and gutters should be provided.
Commissioner Goldspiel then requested Mr. Green review the off-site
improvements being provided such as the water main and sanitary sewer
line extensions and which improvements are attributable to the project
and which are required by the Village . There was extensive discussion
regarding the water system and how it ties into the Village system.
1 ; Commissioner Goldspiel concluded he would favor requiring curbs and
gutters along Old Weiland Road.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - May 2 , 1990 - Page 4
Commissioner Krugreviewed with Mr. Salathe the design of the parking
g P g
areas in relation to overhang areas by the sidewalks and the handicap
parking spaces. Commissioner Krug confirmed that the sidewalk running
along the length of the building will be raised.
Commissioner Rosenston stated he would prefer the sidewalk on the
north side of the building not be eliminated because pedestrians would
have to walk out onto the driveway to get to the sidewalk on the east
side. Mr. Green stated they had done that to provide more landscaping
but could go either way.
Commissioner Rosenston then noted that testimony at this hearing had
indicated large quantities could be purchased at this facility rather
than having to go over to the wholesale facility, and this thereby
changes the scope of use out of B-1 definition. Mr. Hanson clarified
his prior comments to confirm that contractors trucks would not be
loaded out of this facility and quantities of large items other than
one or two would not be loaded from the retail facility.
Commissioner Braiman again raised the issue of the detention area and
if there is sufficient buffering between the building and the
detention area. He also inquired as to whether the width of the
driveway was sufficient . Mr. Kuenkler and Mr. Pfeil indicated it
would be sufficient for trucks to get behind the building and the Fire
Department had reviewed the plan and indicated no objections.
Lengthy discusison followed regarding the form of agreement with the
Lake County Highway Department for use of the detention area and
potential problems which could be encountered and how to protect
against those . It was suggested any approval of the plan be subject
to satisfactory legal documentation granting permission for use of the
right-of-way for detention.
Mr. Skelton indicated that petitioner has permission to use the
property for detention at this time so is in compliance with the
Village ordinance requirements. If at some future time petitioner is
refused use of that area they would no longer be in compliance and
would have to come back in to revise the plan and readdress the issue.
Commissioner Braiman noted that although the pylon sign is shown on
the plan, he confirmed it is shown for informational purposes only and
any approval of the plan therefore does not also include approval of
the placement of the sign.
There being no further questions or comments, Chairman Sheldon closed
the public hearing at 9 : 31 P.M.

`./ ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT = CHILD DAY CARE IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
Moved by Commissioner Braiman, seconded by Commissioner Howard, that
the Plan Commission recommend to the Village Board approval of an
amendment to the Buffalo Grove Zoning Ordinance concerning child day

care homes, including an amendment to Section 17 . 12 . 285 - Home
Occupations, an amendment to Chapter 17 . 12 defining child day care
homes, and an amendment to Chapter 17 . 28 to include child day care
homes as a Special Use, pursuant to the document provided to the Plan
Commission by the Village Planner, with the inclusion of language in
Paragraph 5G that the periodic inspections for life, health and safety
standards be set by the Village from time to time.
Commisioner Goldspiel suggested duplexes be excluded from the
ordinance. The other Commissioners concurred and it was suggested the
motion be amended to state that any reference to the ordinance being
applicable to the R-7 Dwelling District be removed.
Mr. Pfeil pointed out that a single family detached home could exist
in an R-7 district. Following discussion, the motion was amended, and
seconded as amended , as follows:
Further that reference to the residential districts and residences
covered by the ordinance state only " . . . provided such residences
are single family detached. "
Commissioner Rubin suggested the issue of hours for outside play be
addressed, with preference for 8:00 A.M. to 6 : 30 P.M. Commissioner
Rhodes felt that 8:00 A.M. to permitted closing hours of 8:00 P.M.
would be acceptable since most children would be picked up earlier.
That being acceptable to Commissioner Braiman, the motion was further
amended, and seconded as amended, as follows:
Further that outside play not be allowed until after 8:00 A.M.
Commissioner Rubin then requested consideration for increasing the
required fence height from 4 ft. to 5 ft. Commissioner Braiman asked
that a poll be taken. The majority of Commissioners felt the
ordinance should remain as is, or abstained not feeling strongly one
way or the other.
Commissioner Rubin raised the issue of standards in the amendment
being applied to all home child care providers regardless of the
number of children cared for. Commissioner Goldspiel indicated he
feels the maximum of 8 is too high, and 6 would be a better standard.
He further stated that such a use is an intrusion on the residential
standards of a zone and an attempt should be made to minimize that
intrusion. Commissioner Krug agreed that the use detracts from the
character of a residential neighborhood, stating he feels it is more a
commercial business than a home business. Brief discussion followed
on this topic and the need for child care.
A member of the audience requested that the ordinance address the
issue of allowing no undue noise by defining this portion more
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Regular Meeting - May 2 , 1990 - Page 2
specifically as to decibal levels or some other form, because it could
not otherwise be adequately enforced. Discussion followed regarding
the manner in which to define this. Mr. Pfeil suggested it state no
speakers or amplified noise be permitted for outside activities.
Following further discussion, Commissioner Krug stated he feels the
existing Village ordinances for noise and sound limits would
adequately cover the issue.
Mr. Pfeil asked for clarification of the portion of the motion
relating to periodic inspections. Commissioner Briaman stated he
intended the Village would have the administrative responsibility for
establishing the criteria and providing notice for their inspections.
disccussion
,further brief d , a vote was taken as follows:
AYES: Howard , Braiman, Rosenston
NAYES: Goldspiel , Krug, Rhodes, Rubin, Charlette
ABSENT: None
The motion did not carry, 5 to 3.
NORTHWEST BUILDING MATERIAL AND SUPPLY COMPANY
Chirman Sheldon asked why this use had been established as a B-1 use.
Mr. Skelton indicated Messrs. Hruby and Raysa had determined in their
opinion that it met the standards of a B-1 district in their interpre-
tation of the ordinance, based in part on the fact that this business
has only interior use and no exterior use and thus conforms with the
B-1 District standards.
Brief discussion followed on the type of business to be conducted at
this facility, clarification of testimony, and the differences between
B-1 and B-4 uses.
A motion was then made by Commissioner Goldspiel , seconded by
Commissioner Rhodes, that the Plan Commission recommend to the Village
Board approval of the Preliminary Plan in the B-1 ( Limited Retail
Business) District for the Northwest Building Material and Supply
Company proposed new facility, in accordance with Petitioner's
Exhibits 1 , 3, 4 and 5 , with a variation to the Zoning Ordinance -
Section 17 . 36.040. F. 1 (to allow 86 off-street parking spaces instead
of 87 as required) , and a variation to the Development Ordinance -
Section 16 . 50.040.C. 3. (to allow a side slope of 4: 1 instead of 6 : 1 in
a stormwater detention basin ) , subject to the provision of
documentation concerning the detention area easement satisfactory to
the Village Attorney; subject to the provision of curbs and gutters on
the north side of Old Weiland Road; subject to reinstallation of the

sidewalk on the north side of the building; subject to appropriate
signage for one-way traffic; and further subject to correction of the
walk on the northwest portion of the plan from 5 ft. to 6 ft. at the
parking area.
Commissioner Rubin stated he would prefer to have green space provided
rather than reinstallation of the sidewalk on the north side of the
building. A poll was taken and all Commissioners except Commissioners
Rubin and Rhodes were in favor of reinstallation of the sidewalk.
A vote was taken on the motion, which carried 7 to 1 , as follows:
AYES: Goldspiel , Krug, Rhodes, Howard, Rubin, Rosenston,
Charlette
NAYES: Braiman
ABSENT: None
Commissioner Braiman indicated his vote is based on his feeling the
use would more appropriately be applied to a B-4 district, his concern
relating to the permit for use of the detention of the area, and his
feeling that petitioner had not provided sufficient evidence to
warrant the variations. Commissioner Charlette stated he is not
comfortable with the zoning.

PUBLIC HEARING
BUFFALO GROVE PLAN COMMISSION
Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Child Care in Residential Districts
May 2, 1990
Chairman Sheldon called the Public Hearing to order at 7 : 34 P.M. in
the Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove , Illinois.
Commissioners Present : Chairman Sheldon
Mr. Goldspiel
Mr. Krug
Mr. Rhodes
Ms . Howard
Mr. Braiman
Mr. Rubin
Mr. Rosenston
Mr. Charlette
Commissioners Absent: None
Also Present: Mr. Rick Skelton, Village Attorney
Mr. Robert Pfeil , Village Planner
Chairman Sheldon read the notice of public hearing as published in the
Buffalo Grove Herald, explained the format of the meeting and swore in
Mr. Pfeil .
Mr. Pfeil explained that the current Zoning Ordinance classifies child
care in a residential district as a home occupation and allows one to
care for up to three children unrelated to the resident family. The
proposed amendment would change the definition of home occupation to
explicitly address child day care in the residential district where
outdoor play would be allowed. Additionally, the definition of a
child day care home would explicitly state permitted care for 3 up to
8 children unrelated to the resident family. The ordinance amendment
also establishes a special use section in the ordinance whereby child
day care homes are reviewed under standard conditions for approval .
These standards include: verification that the home is licensed for
child care by the State of Illinois ; satisfactory inspection by the
Village Building and Zoning Department and Fire Department; meeting
special use intent requirements such as that the use not be
detrimental to the neighborhood; standard operating hours of
6 : 00 A.M. to 8 : 00 P.M. ; adequate space exists in the driveway for
pick-up and drop-off; traffic congestion is not hazardous to the
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - May 2 , 1990 - Page 1
neighborhood; a play area is required in the rear yard with at
least a 4-ft . high fence ; no undue noise or nuisances be created for
the nearby homes ; if there is another employee besides the residential
owner, a parking space be provided; the home be subject to periodic
inspection by the Village; the Plan Commission and Village Board could
set further specific standards and conditions for approval in each
case ; the period of validity for approval is two years with the
ability to re-apply for extension by public hearing process; and
the home must be licensed by the Village .
Commissioner Goldspiel inquired about which residential districts
would be included in the ordinance. Mr. Pfeil explained it would
cover residential districts through R-7 , but not multi-family such
as R-8 or R-9 . In response to further comments , Mr. Pfeil noted there
could be instances in an R-6 or R-7 district where adequate size rear
yards may exist . Commissioner Goldspiel indicated he was not
comfortable with allowig the zoning classification which includes
duplexes because of the common walls and proximity to neighbors .
Commissioner Goldspiel also asked why the ordinance established the
number of children allowed at up to 8 , which Mr. Pfeil explained was
based on the State standard. Commissioner Goldspiel indicated a
preference that the maximum number be less than 8 .
Commissioner Rosenston suggested it would be advisable to parallel
State requirements as much as possible for the sake of simplicity,
and any case-by-case requirements could be covered under special use
review and approval .
Commissioner Krug expressed concern that someone other than the
property owner/resident could run a day care center in a residential
home by leasing the property from the owner and it would therefore
become a business use other than that covered under this ordinance.
Discussion ensued on the topic and the need for clarification. Mr.
Pfeil pointed out that the conditions for approval of the special use
could be limited to a single person or that it could be conditioned
upon the fact that the owner and resident of the property be the
operator of the center.
Commissioner Charlette raised the issue of requirements for insurance
in an effort to protect the child care provider from liability. Mr.
Pfeil indicated the State does not require insurance but such a
requirement could be added as a condition for the speicla use. In
discussion, Chairman Sheldon inquired about what liability the Village
might have for not requiring insurance . Mr. Skelton stated that
generally municipalities are not sought for negligence in not
enforcing ordinances. Commissioner Rosenston noted that if they were
to require it they would have to determine amounts and other limits
necessary.
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - May 2 , 1990 - Page 2
Commissioner Howard suggested the possibility of not requiring review
every two years if the child care provider had a clean record in light
of the fact that both the Village and State provide ongoing
inspections . Commissioners Rhodes , Rubin and Krug all concurred that
the two-year review should remain. Commissioner Krug noted that
problems that may not have previously been brought forward might
emerge with posting for a public hearing.
Commissioner Rhodes stated that to minimize intrusion on the
neighborhood, the times for outdoor play be limited, suggesting that a
sentence be added to Section 5A indicating that outdoor play be
limited to the hours of 8 :00 A.M. to 5 : 00 P.M. Commissioner Rubin
stated he had heard complaints regarding disruption to family time or
dinner time and therefore feels 6 : 00 or 6 : 30 may be appropriate . The
8 : 00 A.M. restriction was agreed to be appropriate.
Commissioner Rubin noted that the ordinance applies only to those
caring for three or more children, and e feels the same regulations
should apply to those caring for less than three as well , especially
the requirement for a fence where outdoor play is allowed.
Commissioner Rubin also suggested a 5-ft . fence height be required
rather than 4 ft . to provide maximum privacy to the neighborhood. In
following brief discussion, Commissioner Braiman indicated he agrees
there should be some control over the less than three day care homes.
Commissioner Rubin then inquired about how inspections would be
scheduled and how renewal after the two-year period has expired is
handled so there is no time gap between expiration and the renewal
process . Mr. Pfeil explained that after the initial inspection there
would be periodic but not regular inspections , and indicated it would
be an administrative task to make sure all are notified within
sufficient time for processing when a special use is expiring.
Commissioner Braiman suggested that in the case of public hearing
process for renewal , the requirement for workshops prior to the public
hearing be waived as it would become too burdensome to staff and the
Commission' s schedule .
Commissioner Rubin suggested it may be appropriate to require that a
license sticker or other visual proof that the home meets Village and
State licensing requirements be displayed, thereby giving consumers
some assurance that a provider had met standards . Commissioner
Goldspiel felt that since the Village standards imposed pertain only
to land use issues , it gave no assurance as to the quality of care and
was therefore not of true benefit to require display. Commissioner
Braiman noted it would be an additional unnecessary administrative
�•/ burden when residents could come to the Village Hall to check on the
same thing .
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission - Public Hearing - May 2 , 1990 - Page 3
Discussion followed regarding standards for licensingbythe State and
g g
Village . Mr. Pfeil suggested a checklist of life safety standards for
special use could be established for inspection purposes rather than
putting it in an ordinance as a legislative function.
Ii
Commissioner Krug inquired about the intent of the ordinance with
respect to the maximum number of children allowed and Mr. Pfeil
indicated that the intent was a maximum of 8 at any one time . Brief
discussion followed regarding the possibility for overlap and means to
`J avoid that type of situation.
Chairman Sheldon called for public comments. There being none and no
further discussion, Chairman Sheldon closed the public hearing at 8 : 25
P.M.
