1983-07-18 - Resolution 1983-25 - BUFFALO CREEK FOREST PRESERVE RESOLUTION NO. 83- 25
BUFFALO CREEK FOREST PRESERVE
WHEREAS, the Buffalo Creek Forest Preserve is adjacent to and
will serve residents of the Village of Buffalo Grove; and,
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove was involved in the initial
stages of the land acquisition and has contributed $15,000 towards this
purpose; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove shares maintenance responsi-
bility for a portion of the site; and,
WHEREAS, there is sufficient population in the area to require a
picnic and active use area; and,
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove is desireous of providing
easy and efficient access to the site for area residents; and,
WHEREAS, it is the Village's understanding that part of the develop-
ment plan includes the closing of Schaeffer Road; and,
WHEREAS, Hicks Road has already been closed; and,
WHEREAS, both roads being closed will make access to the site for
the general public more difficult thereby creating a disservice to the people
who would most like to use this site; and,
WHEREAS, both roads being closed will further impede the Long Grove
Rural Fire Protection District from serving properties to the south of the
Forest Preserve.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS:
Section 1 . That the Lake County Forest Preserve District not close
Schaeffer Road as part of their development plan unless and' until Hicks Road
is reopened.
Section 2. That the Lake County Forest Preserve District provide
some active use areas on the site for picnicking and recreational activities.
