by Standard Pacific.
Com. Krippes seconded the motion.
Discussion: Com. Koclanis asked why there are no trees on the island
on Unit 5; or within the cul-de-sac on Unit 6?
It was noted that there is a street light on the cul-de-sac on Unit 6.
Also, because the Village must maintain the streets after they are
dedicated, trees are not usually placed on islands, etc. The developer
is required to provide parkway trees, but not other trees.

Mr. Guggemos thanked the AC for the fine co-operation and requested

B. Chatham Manor - Revision of Roof Line and New Trellis in rear.
Mr. Jerome P. O'Connor, new developer of Chatham.Manor on Dundee Road,
presented artist's sketches depicting the model with interior kitchens
in Units B and C; and the new model with the kitchens moved to the
exterior and trellises added to cover the patio area and add interest.
Mr. O'Connor explained that Units B and C have been slow to sell because
of the interior kitchens. Another change has been made to the stairways ,
which were required to have closed risers. Since that time, the Code has
been changed, and open risers have been incorporated to add light as well
as skylights over the entryways.
some changes have been made to the front elevation. And to break up the
149 foot length of the roof, the horizontal lines have been carried on
further and the materials have been carried further, making the roof look
smaller.
Another change that is requested is that the air conditioning units be
be grouped together at the rear of the C and D units. They will be well
screened. Before they were located outside of the balconies, and the
noise was disturbing to owners. No balconies will be above the AC's.
Mr. O'Connor said that he is requesting these changes for the remaining
8 buildings that have been approved for Units I and II . There are 2
buildings, nos. 11 & 12 in Unit I and seen from Dundee Rd. and 6 build-
ings in Unit II; making a total of 56 units. Building 12 would be the
New Model and the trellis would be seen from Dundee Road . The front
faces North.The rear of #11 would face the East . #11 is perpendicular
to Dundee Road. Neither trellis would be seen from Weidner Ct. South.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Sept. 8, 1983 - Page Four
Mr. O'Connor said that trellises will not be added to old units and
the AC units on these buildings will not be moved. The trellises will
be included as common elements in the homeowner's declaration. This is
the agreement that unit owners make to assure no architectural changes.
The trellises will be made of cedar - 2" x 10" 's; no fiberglas can be
added and the association will maintain them. Wood will be wolmanized.
It was determined that the remaining 8 buildings could be grouped to-
gether into a separate homeowner's association. One third of the
manor homes; nos. 11, 12, 19, 20, 21 , 22, 24, and 25; will be in this
group. The trellises will not be optional .
The Commissioners were in agreement that it would be alright to have the
new elevation in Phase II, but they did not want to see the final two
buildings in Phase I allowed to be so different.
There were several Chatham Manor homeowners present and they were also
against the proposal . Mr. Bill Otter at 777 Weidner commented that the
placement of 4 'AC's in a group would be very annoying because he is now
disturbed with his neighbor's. Mr. O'Conner was open to relocating any
AC that is creating a problem.
Mr. Tom Moretti , 726 Hapsfield Lane asked about the upkeep of the trellises,
and if it would cost the owners of Unit I more for maintainance ?
It would not cost them anything because there would be different rules
and a different association entirely.
Mr. Otter commented about the mistake that was made when the first bal-
conies were built. Outdoor wood was not used. When replacement was
made, the new wood won't take paint and the stain soon washed off.
He was advised that there is Olympic Stain that will work on Wolmanized
wood. The AC can do nothing about this problem.
Com. Cea voiced disapproval of both the aesthetic value of the trellises
and the level of noise that will be created by grouping 4 AC'S together.
After further discussion of the problems that could occur if the two
models were mixed, straw polls were taken: The results were unanimous
agreement that the new buildings that are on Dundee Road: #11 and #12,
should not have the new roof line or the trellises.
Com. Koclanis made the following motion:
I move we approve construction of
Bldgs. 11 and 12 at Chatham Manor
retain the same front elevation as
previously approved by the AC.
Com. Larsen seconded the motion.
Discussion included the statement from Mr. O'Connor that they need
the Sales Office to be in front on Dundee Road. There were three ori-
ginal elevations: Tuder, Colonial and Rustic. Two of these styles
will be included in the new buildings. He would stipulate that #11 -
would be a Tudor and #12 would be the Colonial . He did not think that
the new model with the exterior kitchens and skylights could be built
on the old foundations. There is some 1 foot difference in the foot-
print. Com. Gibbs informed Mr. O'Connor that any AC recommendation
can be appealed to the Village Board. The Board considers other aspects
than aesthetics, such as hardship.

Com. Gibbs clarified these two motions. Mr. O'Connor may make the
interior changes on #11 and #12, but the exterior front and rear
elevations must be the same as the approved Phase I models.
The building materials shall be the same as approved for Phase II .
With reference to the remaining 6 lots in Unit II , the Commission
had no problem with the propsoed changes to the front elevation.
Com. C. Cea made the following motion:

Com. Gibbs informed these residents that they can also attend the Village Board
meeting on Sept. 19, 1983. They can ask questions and express opinions.
One question arose concerning the compatibility of the two models and Com. Cea
said that as an architect, he would say that if the buildings are grouped, there
should be no problem with the different roof lines, etc. because the designs are
compatible. Both models will be seen at the same time when driving into Chatham
Manor from Dundee Road.
Trustee Gary Glover expressed the concern of the Village Board for all residents
of Buffalo Grove, and he will report to the Trustees the findings of the AC.
C. Spoerlein Farm Sales Office, Landscaping, Model Area, Signage and Lighting.
Mr. Rick Burton, Land Consultant Inc. made the presentation.
1 . Spoerlein Farmhouse will be used as a temporary sales office until the
model is built. Mr. Burton presented photographs of the existing
house and described the proposed remodeling. The House will be re-painted
White; The Stairs and Porch Awning will be Forest Green; A new open
porch will be constructed as an entryway. Wood poles will be used to
support the proposed awning cover. Trim and Shutters will be Forrest
Green. Wood used for the Porch will be Wolmanized. The Roof will be
repaired where necessary.
When the models are opened, this structure will again be remodeled or
demolished. The parking area will be used for the model area and for
the construction office.
During the time the building is used as a sales office, the second story
will not be used. The stairs will be sealed off with siding .
Shutters will not have any diamonds.
On the South elevation, there will be a new White entry door to cellar.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Sept. 8, 1983 - Page Seven
A 2 ft. white picket fence will be added to guide people from the
parking lot into the sales office. A temporary parking area will be
provided on the South side of the lot. When the roadway is put in,
and the models are completed, the parking lot will be removed.
The farmhouse will become a part of the Commercial package and its use
determined at a later date. The sidewalk will be patched if it is
dangerous.
All the landscaping that exists is in need of trimming and it will be
cleaned up extensively. The existing trees will be saved on each side
of the driveway and in back where possible. Some trees in the rear of
the parking lot will be moved. They hope to save the Silver Maple in
front
Com Larsen made the following motion:
I move we approve the proposed remodeling
of the Spoerlein Farmhouse as a Temporary
Sales Office as submitted, with the follow-
ing stipulations:

2. Landscape Plan
Mr. Burton described Phase I which will consist of 7 buildings to be
located down the South side of the project and around a cul-de-sac.
There have been several meetings with the residents surrounding the
premises and their concerns have been considered in the landscape plan.
There were some areas of concern: 1 . Lights from cars entering the
project driveways; 2. The berms. T
This problem was solved with the use of a grouping of Spruce;
Shrubs and Shade Trees at each of the 3 streets. There will also be
a berm at the end of each street as shown on the Landscape Plan.
At the North a 6' Stockade fence will screen the homeowners from the
Spoerlein Farm residents. The existing trees will last for at least
10 years. The other interior and perimeter land a ing is :balanced.
The street trees were approved at the last meeting, Aug. 25, 1983
The project will be built from Building 1 , around the Cul-de-sac and
back consecutively. Plantings were chosen because of the exposure,
West, South and North. The courtyards will not be monotonous. The
Honey Locust will be 35 ft. when mature, but the size of the court-
yard in the 10 unit buildings will require a large tree.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
Sept. 8, 1983 - Page Eight
Mr. Burton said that even though some of the trees are listed as 2
inch caliper, when planting time comes, depending on the budget, etc.
the sizes could be upgraded. He understood that 2" trees must be staked.

C. Model Area - South side of Entryway street.
Originally, the driveway to the model area parking lot was to be
paved in full , but it has been decided to put in a sidewalk instead.
The sales office will be the four garage area of the West side of
Building 1 and the doors will be changed to glass french doors. Some
photographs were presented showing the type of doors. All will be
operational and people will be routed though the sales office to the
various models. There will be 3 furnished models : the apartment,
the first floor unit & a 2-story unit. People will be directed out
the door and back through the sales office. Because the units are all
very different, it is unlikely that people will be looking at all three
models.
The siding on the Model will be Clay Beige with White trim and White doors.
Landscaping of the front walk will consist of plantings that will be
changed throughout the year so that there will be continuous flowering
bushes. The landscaping of the courtyard and rear was described.
The rear will be hydro-seeded. The parkway will be sodded and over-
seeded. The front of the model area will be sodded.
