presentation. Mr. Stan Lieberman, 400 W. Dundee Rd. , B.G.
was present.
1 . Interior Roadway Lighting - Mr. Cluet described the
previously approved site plan lighting scheme. Acorn
type fixtures were to be use for the interior roadways
and around the basin. The Engineering Department has
expressed concern about this type of fixture along the
roadways, should the Village ever become responsible
for their maintenance, and because they spread the
light more than they focus it on the corners.
Mr. Cluet requested these roadway fixtures be changed
to the type of lighting that was approved for the rest
of Town Place and that is being used at Town Center.
The fixture is dark bronze with a round head, that will
focus light downward - Design 123, per the exhibit.
Can. Weissman made a motion to approve the modification of
the interior street lighting as submitted for Town Place.
Can. Ehrhardt seconded the motion.

2. Retaining Wall - Change of Material
There is a concrete retaining wall along the vista
basin, and there were same railroad ties to be used in
the area where the fence is located. Mr. Cluet
requested changing the ties to a Keystone System which
will require less maintenance, be more permanent and
more attractive. It will also be more compatible with
the concrete wall.
The blocks will be light colored, 8 inch unit, with a
rough face, per exhibit on file.
Com. Bruno made a motion to substitute the Keystone Retain-
ing Wall System, in lieu of the previously approved tie
walls around the Vista Basin at Town Place, as requested.
Com. Weissman seconded the motion.

NAY - None
Motion Passed - 6 to 0.
3. Change of Building Materials
When the architecture was originally presented, the
cornice and belt course around the all buildings was
to be a drivit plaster system all the way around.
Mr. Cluet requested that this material be changed to
rough sawn cedar for the sides and rear of the
perimeter buildings. This will emphasize the front of
the buildings. The cedar would be stained to match the
drivit material.
The buildings around the vista basin will be drivit all
the way around, because both sides of these buildings
are "fronts."
There will be a 2 foot return around the corner of the
buildings, where the drivit will be offset about an
inch, per detail exhibits 415 and *6. The cedar will be
painted and it weathers well, and is not a maintenance
problem.
Mr. Lieberman commented that they have used the drivit
in other projects and in time, it requires painting.
There is only a small area involved, and the townhouse
association will be responsible for its maintenance.

The material change was discussed at length. Ch. Larsen
and Can. Ehrhardt agreed that the cedar would give some
texture and mould be quite acceptable.
Mr. Lieberman asked for the option to use either
material.
Com. Bruno stated it would be better to stipulate one
material, or the other. A precedent should not be set
for developers to be able to make changes.
Mr. Lieberman responded that the drivit vs. cedar is a
cost decision. Town Place, with all brick buildings,
is an expensive project to build and they have not come
asking for the second story to be all cedar. The
change is a minor concession and does not affect the
total project.
Ch. Larsen instructed the commissioners that cost is
not a factor that the AC should consider. If the
project had been brought in all cedar, the AC mould
have probably approved it. Cedar mould be Ch. Larsen's
personal preference because the drivit collects dust.
Mr. Lieberman withdrew his request to have the option of
changing back to drivit bands. Cedar will be used as
submitted, per exhibit on file.
Cam. Ehrhardt made a motion to approve the modification of
Town Place material, from drivit to rough sawn cedar bands
on the sides and backs of the perimeter buildings, as
requested.
Cam. Gordon seconded the motion.
Com. Weissman asked if there could be a maintenance clause
in the association agreement, regarding maintenance, if and
when the drivit needs to be painted.
Mr. Lieberman said exterior maintenance is controlled
through the homeowner's association. Buildings are kept in
first class condition to keep up the property value.

4. Fence & Landscaping Changes
Ms. Terry Ryan, Jacobs/Ryan Assoc. , Landscape
Architects, 1527 Sandburg Terrace, Chicago, IL 60610
(664-3217) requested that partial privacy fencing be
added along Buffalo Grove Road.
After construction of Town Place began, it was seen
that some privacy screening for the residents along
Buffalo Grove Road would be beneficial. The rear yards
would be wide open to the traffic and the bike path.
A cedar fence with lattice accent panels was submitted.
Same of the plantings had to be changed from the
original landscape plan. host of the trees are on the
outside of the fence, with shrubbery on both sides.
The fence is not a solid wall, but does provide some
privacy for the patios. It will usually consist of
2 - 8 foot panels with a small return. Spaces are
necessary between the fence sections to permit
maintenance of the landscaping.
hr. Lieberman commented that he originally wanted to
have an iron security fence that would be locked at
night, but the Village objected. The fence will be
a common element, maintained by the association.
The fence height will be 6 feet, per the Fence Code,
Section 14.20.040, relating to patios and because it is
abutting Buffalo Grove Road.
Com. Weissman made a motion to approve the addition of
privacy fencing as submitted for Town Place, with the
modification to the landscape plan, with regard to the
elimination of trees, etc. per hr. Rigsby's Review dated,
July 31 , 1989.
Cam. Ehrhardt seconded the motion.

3rd garage on the same plane, and he suggested eliminating

it only on the house.

Item F. Malnati 's Color Change
A letter from Gregory A. Tabb, President of Tabb Associates,
wrote a letter, dated August 11 , 1989 to Hr. Matt with the
explanation for changing the color scheme of the building and
awning.
The Village Board approved the colors that were recommended by
the AC, but the color change was never submitted to the AC for
review. Halnati 's should have written the letter first.
Mr. Matt asked if the AC wanted to request some recourse?
The situation was discussed for some time and the Commissioners
agreed that the colors are not objectionable, and the awning
color is probably better also.
The Commission was concerned with setting a precedent for
permitting this type of approval "after the fact."
Mr. Matt suggested that a letter be drafted for review at the
next Appearance Commission meeting, Sept. 14, 1989.

.. COHHISSIONERS COMMENTS:
1 . Com. Gordon asked if Hr. Hatt has spoken to Chrysler about
painting the metal to match the Blue vinyl band. The
shades are not compatible.
2. Hr. Hatt reported that Learning Post was informed about the
signage in the windows, but they don't have anyone to
change them until the end of the month. This was OK.
3. Cherbourg skylights are on all elevations. Hr. Hatt will
look into this matter.
4. Private Lives at the Town Center has requested a variance
for a second wall sign. Ch. Larsen commented that it was
the intent of the AC recommendation to avoid this problem.
Hr. Hatt responded that the interpretation is according to
Hr. Raysa and Hr. Hruby, and a variance is required.
7. The Plaza at Buffalo Grove (Ranch Hart) sign was granted a
variance by the Village Board. Height to be 16-1/2 feet.
Ch. Larsen said the intent of the ordinance was for a sign
variance to go with the sale of the property.
Hr. Hatt said the sign required more than one variance:
size, height, setback from property line and distance to
Taco Bell. They could have repaired the existing Ranch
Hart Sign without a variance, but it was the intention of
the developer to upgrade the aesthetics of the whole
property. The existing sign would not fit into the new
design of the shopping center.
