units would be enclosed for Jewel and Building A.
The area is well landscaped from Lake/Cook Road and from
Steepleview.
Mr. Eisenberg asked the AC to give approval to both concepts, but he
indicated that after the cost factor is determined, a decision will
be made. The Brick Enclosure is preferred by the developers.

C. Hidden Lake - Full Review
Mr. Jerry Pfeffer Architect
Mr. Pfeffer reviewed for the Commission the history of Hidden Lake Village.
It has been through the Commission before in slightly different form,
but is substantially the same and is still subject to the same annexa-
tion agreements; and the same set of preliminary architecture plans.
Phase I consists of 3 different kinds of buildings - 8 Units
6 Units
4 Units
The units are a combination of apartments and townhouses. Materials
are identical for all buildings. For variety, the location of the
buildings and garage entry and the landscaping, which is bermed to
present a feeling of identity within the development. They are striv-
ing for unity and not different elevations, etc.
The changes that have been made to the site are minor. Set backs have
been changed to meet requirments. The height of the buildings if dif-
ferent (slightly higher). The streets are being developed and will tie
into existing streets.
Com. Knaak made a presentation of the project.
Materials - Roof: Owen/Corning - Combination of Brown/Black: Br. Bark
Siding: Hardwood or Plywood, 6 inch groove textured-
Butternut - Olympic Paint
Gutters and Downspouts - Not shown because they are not sure of
placement. But if they are visable, they will be painted in a
color approved by the Appearance Commission.
Doors: Garage Doors are to be Light - Butternut color and the
Entry Doors are to be Dark Brown.
Window Frames - Sliding wood frames are to be Dark Brown.

Elevations were reviewed:
1 - 4 plex; there will be 3 - 4 plex buildings.
Side elevation - only 2 windows, may need to
be broken up with landscaping, etc.

Models and Elevations
Relative to the Monotony Code, the three phases will consist of 352
units on 5 acres of land. Half of the development will be 8-plex units.
Mr. Pfeffer stated the reason the original concept for Hidden Lakes was
changed is a result of observance of many other developments as well as
the present economy. They decided to change the position of as many build-
ings as possible. They changed the 6-unit buildings into individual entrance
units. They wanted to keep a consistent look without becoming monotonous,
and keep a countryside setting with landscaping creating the environment
to be internally attractive. The setbacks achieve variation needed.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we accept the proposed Models for Hidden Lake as
presented: 3 Models - 4, 6, and 8 - Plex Units;
8 - Plex models have 2 elevations:
being a front load and side load;
resulting in 5 possible Elevations for the MC.

Model• Area - Mr.John Craigie made the presentation.
The model area will consist of one 4-unit and one 6-unit buildings.
Mr. Craigie described the Landscaping concept of berming and sculpturing.
The Country Estate type look is being achieved. Space is being left for
two additional buildings. The drive way that leads up to the models has
a island that is landscaped. The area will probably be seeded with a tempor-
ary irrigation system installed. Trees will be of 3" to 6" caliper and will
be approximately 35' to 40' tall . No plantings have been proposed for the
rear of the buildings. The driveway is designed to focus attention to the
model area. A split rail fence will direct customers around the model 'areaa.
Around the 4-unit building will be 30 flowering shrubs.
Around the 6 unit building will be 14 flowering shrubs, 5 evergreens and
two trees: 1 ornamental and 1 shade tree.
The Commissioners discussed the concept as presented and asked that specific
quantities and varieties of plantings be designated on the plans.
Mr. Craigie stated that he would prefer to have some latitute to chose the
species at the time of planting according to what is available and the cost.
The Commissioners agreed. The plants will be chosen from the Forester's list.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we approve the Hidden Lake Model Area

Com. Krippes agreed that people do have problems, but she feels there are
too many signs presented.
Com. Zusel also thought that some of the signs can be eliminated and still
give people enough direction, and also help the salesmen meet potential
customers.
Com. Gibbs agreed with the need to have signage that will assist in selling
the units as well as provide signage that will go along with the open space
concept. Because of the distance from the models to the road, additional
signs is indicated.
Mr. Pfeffer • agreed to delete signs E and F. He stated a need for both
Sales Office signs G and H. The signs will all be Blue on White Background,
but the A-sign proposed for the entrance is a four color sign: Blue, White,
Green and Burgandy. They are sand-blasted signs with hand coloring.
Com. Knaad noted that four color signs do not appear in Buffalo Grove often.

of Busch and Weiland Roads on property owner by Hoffman Corp. about 50 ft .
south of Busch and about 30 ft. off the edge of Weiland road. The sign
will be constructed and maintained and insured by Hidden Lakes. They also
plan to rent a sign on Lake/Cook Road located 1/2 mile East of Weiland Rd.
The sign is in unincorporated Lake County and is not under the jurisdiction
of the Appearance Commission. (Evening Tides is on the other side. )
The corner in question is zoned commercial and the the sign would be allowed
under Section 14.20.080 of the Sign Ordinance with stipulations that the
sign be allowed for six month periods of time; and that the area under and
around the sign be landscaped and maintained by the developer.
Com. Knaak expressed his opinion that the verbage relating to Long Grove is
undesirable; and again he is against the four colors. He asked to see a
color rendition of the sign. Mr. Pfeffer explained the reference to
to Long Grove was for directional purposes only.
A straw poll was taken: Com. Knaak, Com. Krippes and Com. Zusel would not
agree to the sign as presented. Com. Gibbs explained that if the sign is
defeated, the developer can appeal to the Village Board.

Shade trees, ornamental and evergreens throughout. The plans show berms
in detail and plantings mostly in front of the building. The courtyards
will be the same as the model area.
Discussion centered around the rights of individual owners to plant any-
thing in the rear. The Homeowners Assn. must approve anything out-
side the individual patio sections. Easements and utilities must be
considered. Com. Gibbs explained that at the Crossings, it is necessary
to keep the developers concept of the landscaping. Com. Knaak noted that
it is not usual to require any rear yard landscaping, only front and side;
but he wanted to assure keeping the area as it is being presented.

Temporary Sales Office
Mr. Pfeffer described the trailer that Hidden Lake will use as a Sales
Office, until the models are completed. The trailer will be located West
of the Models (site of house that was recently burned down) , and will be
used for a maximum of 6 months. A temporary road will be built for an
entrance to the sales trailer. There are clusters of trees existing at
the site and will be left around the trailer. Potted flowers will be added
for color.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
May 27, 1982 - Page Nine
The exterior of the trailer will be Butternut with Dark Brown Trim.
The porch will also be Dark Brown. The trailer will not be skirted
because berms will be built up to the porch. A wall of rough sawn cedar
will be placed in front of the trailer (for signage to be presented at
a later date) , but the wall will not be attached to the trailer.
The trailer will not be seen from the raod. The driveway and parking lot
will be gravel , because it will be very temporary. The rear of the
trailer will not be visable and will not be landscaped. The area around
the trailer is covered with field grass which will be cut once and allowed
to continue to grow wild.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we approve the Landscaping and the Exterior of the
Trailer for the temporary sales area for a period of time
until theSales Office is open for occupancy in the Model Area.
Wording for the Sales Trailer will be presented at a later
date. Lettering will be on a wall (fence) in front of

Signage Temporary Sales Area
Many signs were presented for the direction of people into the sales
area:
2 Signs designated "C" will be 5' x 3' placed on grade
at the entrance.
Colors of these signs are the same as presented previously.
Com. Knaak suggested that these two signs be allowed to be erected,
using the four colors. After the Commissioners have had a look at them
a decision will be made concerning the other signage which has been
Tabled. This was taken under advisement.
Signs designated "D" - - Welcome, Sales Office, G.P. ' ,x 2'
Signs designated "E" and "F" - - Guest Parking; 2' x 12'
Sign designated "G" - - Sales Office - 2' x 12'
These signs were acceptable to the Commissioners.
Two signs - "A" and "B" were proposed to slow traffic, but Mr. Pfeffer
said he would delete them if two - 10' x 30' Billboard signs are approved
to be located on each property line
Com. Knaak noted Sec. 14.20.070 B would not allow for 6 signs. Also the
size of the large billboards is too large. 120' square feet is the limit.
Only 1 "D" sign would be allowed. The "C" would be considered entrance
directional signs.

Plans datedr " 5/13/82 (Preliminary)
LANDSCAPE REVIEW
During the course of this review, it must be kept in mind that
this plan is a preliminary plan. My words of review are not to
be considered criticism, but rather suggestions for improvement.
The tree and shrub species to be used on this plan are good, and
if the cultivars selected are the preferred ones, I can see no
problems. When the individual size and species are matched up to
the specific marks on the plan, it will be better for a more de-
tailed review.
In general I notice the following:
1. There are very few plants On the rear of the buildings.
2. There is a lack of plant material along the eastern edge
of the property.
•
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Add more plant material to this plan.
2. Approve the concept of this plan.
3. Arrange for a final review of this plan after it has
passes through the preliminary stage.
100 S. Vail, Arlington Heights, IL 60005 (312) 392-3312
Hidden Lake Village will present plans for trash recepticles and signage

`./ D. Cedar View - Full Review
Mr. Dave Haller
Mr. Haller presented a drawing of the proposed office complex. He then
described the buildings, landscaping and lighting.
The construction of the Phase #1 building is face brick - cocoa brown.
Mortar is brown. Panels beige stucco. Mansard trim - cedar shake.
Windows will be dark bronze frames with bronze tinted glass.
Exit doors will be painted dark brown. Roof top screening will be of
cedar.

Landscaping
Mr. Peter Lazdins presented the proposed landscaping plan and explained
that the plan was previously reviewed by the Appearance Commission. The
plan now shows specific plant material . He described the berming along
Dundee Road. There is a row of existing trees and shrubbery on the
West border, next to the Church. As many trees will be saved as possible.
The areas of grass will be sodded, with the exception of part of the deten-
tion area which will be Hydro-seeded.
The trees which will be saved will be protected during construction by
either snow fencing or 2 x 4 fencing. The building will not be near these
trees, so there should be no problem.
The berms along Dundee will vary from 4 to 6 feet in height.
Com. Knaak asked if higher berms could be put in, but Mr. Lazdins said the
undulating berms give a better effect. Phase #1 does not call for the berms
to be planted but they could be put in and if they are not pleasing, they
can be reshaped. Mr. Haller noted that cost is a factor. Also the purpose
of the berm is to screen the parking lot from Dundee Road, and a four foot
berm is sufficient because there is a distance of 200 feet in between.
Coma Knaak said he would prefer higher berms because there will not be any
planting during this phase. He made the following motion:
I move we accept the Landscaping Plan for Phase #1
of the Cedar View Office Plaza, including the berm
on Dundee, not shown as part of Phase #1 .

Lighting of Parking Area - Phase 1 ; Cedar View Office Plaza
A lighting plan was presented. . It shows the foot candles to be
approximately 4' to 5' foot candles and will reflect in a square pattern.
There will be three building mounted Kim Fixtures; one in the center of
the rear of the building and one at each end. Located under the soffit,
will be 70 watt high pressure sodium, M3330 lights at each entry.
Lights will be on all night for security to light the building and also
wash the parking lot with illumination. In the center of the lot are
three 30 ft poles. If light shines on any other property, the fixtures
will be shielded.
Com. Knaak made the following motion:
I move we approve the 3 parking lot lights mounted on 30 ft.
poles. Lights on the sides of the building at the emergency
