RESOLUTION NO. 79- 63,1
STATEMENT OF BUFFALO GROVE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
REGARDING THE PROPOSED LONG GROVE SUBDIVISION LOCATED
WITHIN THE ROUTE 53 EXTENDED (FAP 432) HIGHWAY ALIGNMENT
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of
Buffalo Grove have previously passed and approved Resolution #78-19 sup-
porting the extension of Route 53 (FAP 432) northerly from its present
terminus at Dundee Road (IL Route 68) , and;
WHEREAS, the Northwest Municipal Conference has also passed a
resolution supportive of the Route 53 extension, and;
WHEREAS, the Route 53 extension is an integral part of the region's
adopted 1995 transportation plan, and;
WHEREAS, the proposed updated year 2000 alternative transportation
plans still depict the Route 53 extension as a regional bypass highway with
traffic projections in the area of 24,000 to 28,000 vehicles per day, and;
WHEREAS, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has set
an established centerline for the alignment of the extension, and;
WHEREAS, the Village of Long Grove is currently considering
the development of a 31 acre subdivision located within the proposed Route
53 Right-of-Way.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Buffalo Grove, Cook and Lake Counties, Illinois, that:
The Village of Long Grove disapprove this proposed development be-
cause, 1) it is not in the interest of sound regional planning, 2) it will
add to the cost of highway construction if the Department of Transportation
has to study a realignment of the road, and 3) it is unfair to future resi-
dents of the Village of Long Grove who may have to face condemnation proceedings
when funding for the highway becomes available.
