APPEARANCE COMMISSION June 28, 1979 - Page One b) Buffalo Grove National Bank Landscaping - Parking Lot and Buffer Zone Irving Capitel of Batler and Capitel, Representative. Com. Kirby excused herself from the hearing because she holds a minor interest in the bank. Mr. Capitel gave an explanation of the planned landscaping along the East side of property next to the Fire Department; and the additional parking lot area. As per Village Board request, planting of_ 100 shrubs; seventeen and one/half foot dedicated easement, for ingress and egress will be as shown on the plan. Also the new addition of three drive-in stalls and addition- al parking area with complete landscaping. Ch. Hardt said he had attended the Board meeting and the bushes were a compromise because the Board wanted curb and gutters around the drives, but the Bank re- jected this. Apparently the original drawings show- ed what appeared to be curbing but this was never the architect ' s intent; nor is curbing required by the Zoning Ordinance or the Building Code. The Board asked for a suitable low screen to prevent car lights from shining into the Fire Department or any future building the Village might wish to put on their pro- perty behind the Fire Station. Since a Forester' s Report has not been submitted, the motion will include their approval. The Imperial Honeylocust will be 3" diameter. The median will contain bard with steel edging around edge and there are concrete car bumpers, in the new parking area. The Bank Personnel parking sign is a directional sign and there is no need to approve. Com.
