in the Industrial District

The following exhibits were presented by the petitioner at the public hearing:
Exhibit 1: Display board of materials
Exhibit 2: Memo from Mr. Pfeil to the Plan Commission dated July 13, 2-12
Exhibit 3: PowerPoint presentation by petitioner
Ms. Renee Sclafani stated they propose a luxury, upscale premier animal resort and park. The
resort will offer play care for working owners, overnight accommodations, grooming services,
access to veterinary services and mostly importantly a 4,000 square foot state of the art park
which is a new concept in Northern Illinois. The pet boarding industry is a 60 billion dollar per
year market and they believe the future trend in the industry will be toward a higher quality,
more socially innovative source of pet entertainment and care. 63 percent of U.S. households
own a pet and of these households 75 percent of the owners consider their pets a member of
their family. There are 68,000 registered dogs and cats in Lake County alone and those are only
the dogs registered through their Rabies tags.
Ms. Sclafani stated they will be offering an entirely cage free, odor free luxury resort. Their
facility will offer an indoor dog park which will be especially useful in the long cold Illinois
winters and the very hot summers because dogs clearly cannot be out in 100 degree weather.
They will be offering free WiFi for dog parents, splash pool and a state of the art self draining
odorless pet crafts. They have already reached out to two of the local facilities and several
more of the facilities on the outskirts of town on lending their services to the pet shelters. They
will offer some adoption events and allow them when they vacancies to bring in some of their
homeless pets to have a spa day.
Ms. Sclafani stated they will reach out to local schools and clubs to set up a book program
where the children come in to read to the dogs and this is good for the kids to read out loud
and is also good for the dogs to feel like they have a person for one on one attention.
Ms. Sclafani stated they met with the referral committee of the Veterinary Specialty Clinic
located on Busch Parkway and discussed having reciprocal referral agreements. They will be
their exclusive 24 hour emergency vet care center. She stated they will be operating entirely
inside their free standing single tenant masonry building. They will have nothing going on
outside ever other than delivery from the car to the building inside. She noted the closest
residents are 140 feet away and are separated by a privacy fence. The building has a sound
transmission crash rating of 71 which is one of the highest ratings available. She stated they
will direct their guests to dedicated areas to allow dogs coming and going to relieve themselves
and will be monitored constantly throughout the day and cleaned frequently. She further
noted they have already been in contact with Waste Management to discuss if they had any
special needs in order to keep them coming as often as needed. They have indicated it is not a
problem and they will customize a plan with them and pick up as they need.
Ms. Sclafani noted with respect to cleaning and waste removal inside the facility she has spoken
to Mr. Boysen and stated as long as they stick with a retail approved cleaning product versus an
industrial strength product they should have no problem with draining it into the sanitary
system. There was a concern about usage of plastic bags to dispose of the dog waste and they
have researched alternate needs and have come with a couple of new options. First is the
doggy-doo drain which requires no bags. The waste is put directly into it and tied straight into
the system and you are done. The other is biodegradable bags which they will put at the
entrance of the building much like the veterinary clinic uses outside of their facility. The pet
grass is installed on a drainage system called shark drain and it protects the concrete which is a
porous surface which could hold odors so that is why the back has holes allowing it to drain and
not invade the impervious surface.
Ms. Sclafani noted they have 48 parking spaces for their quests and employees to use. The
parking is one way in and one way out and there is a permanent easement with the neighbor
for 11 spaces adjacent to them.
Ms. Sclafani noted in Illinois there is a Bureau of Animal Health and Welfare that operates
under the Illinois Department of Agriculture which will inspect and license their facility. She
stated they have already been in contact with them and filled out the paperwork. They have an
Animal Welfare Act for the State of Illinois which they specifically follow and it has all the
guidelines for their inspections.
Ms. Sclafani stated as far as signage goes they are not asking for any variances. There is an
existing monument sign there and they would reface that.
Ms. Sclafani stated she feels their concept facility will have a positive impact on the Village of
Buffalo Grove; it will bring jobs to the community, tax revenue and people from surrounding
communities to the Buffalo Grove area to spend their money and will be providing a new use
for an Industrial building which has been vacant for years.
Ms. Sclafani noted the industrial district is intended to accommodate industrial and limited
commercial activities which are most appropriate when located apart from a well buffered
residential development so it has already been deemed that by the buffering on site so they do
not foresee that as an issue.
Chairman Smith asked the petitioner to discuss the special use criteria and how they are being
met.
Mr. Joseph Sclafani stated the following:
1. There are 65,000 dogs in Lake County and everyone sees a need for this kind of a
facility. He noted even Buffalo Grove opened its own dog park. He noted they have
met with every group out here and all necessary agents knowing there is a viable
need for this kind of establishment. The beauty of this location is its fast access.
2. The size and location of the special use and intensity of the use is good for an
industrial building which is used to warehousing and truck traffic. It had minor
manufacturing in there at the time so the volumes of employees would have been
more but the guests will be about the same. It is, however, a great convenient
location with a wide open parking lot and it is convenient. It is wide open to the
north of the lot where you have a security company that does security alarms.
South of the building are more businesses and across the street is manufacturing
again so it will be a nice blend that will not interfere with anything. There will be no
trucks backing out onto Lexington Road and no interference with municipality or
become a burden to life safety issues or the fire department.
3. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in
the immediate vicinity. There is no one there to get hurt and there is no risk of
someone being run over by a truck or having a pallet jack pull up to their property
line and drop a big bucket across their individual residence or small cars.
4. The location and size of the building is existing.
5. Adequate utilities and access to roads etc. have no anticipated problems and will not
need any additional services as it is overuse for what they have there.
6. Parking areas are adequate in size and they have ample parking for their needs. He
stated he has never been there where the parking lot has even been anywhere near
capacity on either side. They have talked to each of the neighbors and they believe
they have a very solid relationship with them and will never be a burden to them. In
fact, their overflow may be used in this parking lot.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if the parking lot spaces which are access by easement are on
the south side.
Mr. Sclafani stated yes. He noted they are diagonal parked spaces give a permanent easement
at time of construction utilized by both buildings. The easement was granted to 300 Lexington
and they have provided a copy of the easement to the Plat of Survey to the Village.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked if there is a cross easement or an easement on some of this
property to the other owner.
Mr. Sclafani stated it just gives the access to turn around through there.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked the Village attorney about the State statute pertaining to the
situation here and if we have adequate law so that the health and cleanliness of the operation
can be inspected and enforced. He noted the statute appeared to deal mostly with puppy mill
type of things rather than this type of thing.
Mr. Raysa stated if the question goes to the health and whether the Village of Buffalo Grove has
appropriate ordinances to govern the health and safety, cleanliness, maintenance of the
facility, he does not know and will have to refer to either Mr. Pfeil or Brian Sheehan as far as
whether the maintenance codes in the ordinances of the Village of Buffalo Grove address that
specific animal circumstances that we have here. He stated his guess is that we do have
general statutes because we have adopted the international codes as far as health and safety
but he cannot specifically say that we have an ordinance that addresses the feces of an animal
on site.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted the reason he is asking the question is because the request here
is for a use that we have never had in the Village before and he would like to be sure we have it
covered.
Mr. Sclafani stated he would like to add one thought that this is a 24 hour facility open to the
public and it is a wide open space. Anyone who walks into the building will have full access and
visual sight of everything going on in there and they are certainly more aware than anybody of
the horrors and atrocities that we have seen. That is one of the things that brought this whole
thing to light.
Ms. Sclafani noted additionally they will have 24 hour cameras for their guest parents so they
can monitor their pets at all times and they can monitor their employees at all times.
Commissioner Weinstein asked the petitioners if they have seen the proposed definition of"pet
resort" in the ordinance.
Ms. Sclafani and Webster both stated yes.
Commissioner Weinstein asked if they had any questions or comments on it or if they are fine
with it.
Both Ms. Sclafani and Ms. Webster stated yes.
Commissioner Weinstein noted there is also a definition for common household pets which
limits the type of pets that will be allowed and asked if there are any issues there.
Ms. Sclafani and Webster both stated no issues.
Commissioner Weinstein noted the proposed sign which consists of just replacing the existing
sign with facing and asked if that was it.
Ms. Sclafani stated that is all there is going to be.
Commissioner Weinstein asked about noise control and noted they have indicated the masonry
building and the quality of the sound the building provides. He asked what kind of sound could
be anticipated to occur from the number of\barking dogs and such and how it relates to the
masonry and the fact that it will not get through and bother the neighbors and the rest of the
community.
Mr. Sclafani stated they have looked into this and they have done a lot of investigation. They
have gone to shooting ranges, gun ranges and other facilities that have hollow core masonry
and steel studs with drivit siding and other items and their ultimate goal will be a bit of a
learning curve but you will have less noise here than at any manufacturing facility in the area.
The whole idea is to keep everything internal baffled with sound attenuation boards, cork
boards, baffled ceilings. The idea is to redirect the sounds.
Commissioner Weinstein asked if they have run any tests.
Mr. Sclafani noted when they were there they did walk in, turned up the radios and the
overhead door which was open was closed and they know they have to seal the overhead door
better than it is. They also know they have to put in some sound baffles at the 2 foot perimeter
of the building to redirect the noise in the direction it should be going. The back of the building
is solid masonry with one overhead door and one man door. The overhead door will be
modified to control sound. Sound baffling will be used on the door so there will be no sound
transmission through the door. Diagonal baffle boards will be used to redirect the sound into
the building. Sealing will be done around the doors and any areas where sound could escape
the building.
Commissioner Weinstein asked about the staffing on an overnight basis.
Ms. Sclafani noted the 24 hour services will be on an as needed basis. Being open 24 hours is
more because we have people picking their dogs up from vacation and they have guests there
for 24 hours a day. Therefore, they will have someone there on staff just to monitor the facility
to make sure nothing is going awry during the night. They need constant human staffing at all
times. She noted they will have 1-2 overnight staff on duty.
Commissioner Weinstein asked re Mr. Pfeil's memo about procedures during emergencies.
Mr. Sclafani noted they will probably bring in a full service, 500 kva generator to run the facility
long term. For short term the dogs and cats will not be bothered.
Commissioner Cohn asked for a discussion of the location of the customer entrance and relates
it to the traffic circulation in the parking lot.
Mr. Sclafani stated they find the southeast corner to be perfect for them. All cars pulling in
would pull in at the north, come back around the building, pull up to the front from the south
side, exit, get out, bring their dogs to the front door and go back in. Any backup would be in
the loop of the facility and not out on Lexington Drive.
Mr. Pfeil noted for the record that the petition includes an amendment of the Village Zoning
Ordinance to add a definition of pet resort and to add it as a special use in the Industrial
District.
Mr. Raysa noted that a PowerPoint presentation has been used for the hearing, so it should be
introduced as an exhibit. He also noted that a couple of items in the presentation such as the
odor control slide and the sound transmission slide were not in the petitioners' packet
presented during the testimony.
Mr. Sclafani requested that the PowerPoint presentation be entered into the record as an
exhibit for the hearing.
Mr. Raysa noted the application to the State of Illinois, Department of Agriculture does not
designate the type of license that is requested by the petitioners. He asked if it was the Kennel
Operator Code 4 license.
Ms. Levine stated number 4 kennel operator license is correct.
Mr. Raysa asked if the members of the LLC will get the operators license.
Ms. Levine stated yes.
Trustee Sussman noted that the rubber flooring to be used can be chewed and dogs could
choke on that kind of flooring.
Mr. Sclafani stated they looked at several different products such as rubber flooring, VCT,
oxi-coated floors with sanding and gravel in and ultimately the problem is that anything they
chew on has the potential for choking. This is the best product on the market and is safest for
their joints and hips and their legs and their ability to grip on the floor so they are not slipping
and falling.
Trustee Sussman asked how we can be sure that it is being cleaned in such a way that there are
no waste products let in.
Mr. Sclafani stated he cannot guarantee anything but it is their goal to clean it as thoroughly as
anybody humanly can. He noted they are working through the manufacturer's
recommendation and through veterinarians. The product is designed for this use and
ultimately the goal is proper cleaning.
There being no further comments or questions from anyone else present, Chairman Smith
closed the public hearing at 8:10 p.m.

COMMITTEE AND LIAISON REPORTS- None
BARKINGTON PALACE, 300 LEXINGTON DRIVE - PROPOSED PET RESORT IN THE
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT - PETITION FOR A SPECIAL USE AND AMENDMENT OF THE
INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS TO ADD "PET RESORT"AS A SPECIAL USE
Moved by Commissioner Weinstein, seconded by Commissioner Cohn to recommend approval
to the Village Board to amend the Village ordinance (Title 17 of the Buffalo Grove Municipal
code ) to add pet resort as a special use in the Industrial district, with the term pet resort defined
as a for profit indoor establishment which contains three or more of the following facilities or
services for dogs, cats and other common household pets, boarding day care, play park,
swimming pool, grooming and limited veterinary services, not including surgery.
Commissioner Cohn stated he likes this proposal and feels it is one of the more interesting and
exciting things they have seen. He is excited by this project and hopes they are successful.
Mr. Raysa noted the definition of pet resort includes other common household pets yet the state
statute only allows dogs and cats.
Mr. Sclafani stated they would prefer only dogs and cats but they realize that in some
households pets include hamsters and gerbils ad such which they would like included.
Mr. Raysa stated he would reserve judgment on the issue as far as the type of animals.
Commissioner Weinstein asked if the definition of common household pets would be part of this
Commission's motion or would be put into the regulations separately.
Mr. Pfeil commented that he will consult with Mr. Raysa about the definition. He also noted that
the petitioner has represented that the pet resort will focus on dogs and cats.
Chairman Smith called for a vote on the motion and the vote was as follows:
AYES: Khan, Cohn, Myer, Weinstein, Goldspiel, Matthews, Smith
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Stark, Johnson
ABSTAIN: None
The motion passed 7 to 0.
Commissioner Weinstein noted the way he phrased the motion was simply to amend the zoning
ordinance and he had not actually made the motion on the specific property. He stated he had
only made the motion on the definition of the pet resort and did not make a motion for this
property to qualify and intended to do that in a separate motion.
Moved by Commissioner Weinstein Seconded by Commissioner Cohn for approval for the
petitioner's request for a special use for a pet resort including a retail sales area in the Industrial
District at the property at 300 Lexington Drive in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

BUCKY'S EXPRESS, 1251 MC HENRY ROAD - REVIEW OF BUILDING APPEARANCE AND
SIGN PACKAGE - PROPOSED RE-BUILD OF GAS STATION/CONVENIENCE STORE AND
ADDITION OF AN AUTOMOBILE LAUNDRY (CAR WASH) IN THE B- DISTRICT
Mr. Walter Hainsfurther stated tonight he is here to talk about the building appearance and signs
package. He reviewed the floor plan showing a single pair door not double paired doors. The
current plan will be a single pair of double doors and there will be a second emergency door out
the backside.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted this is a 4,200 square foot building and he reviewed the elevations. The
front elevation shows a masonry building with a brick masonry tower on the west side in a sable
color. He presented the various color of panels to be used to give some variety to the look.
There is a clear aluminum colored eyebrow that sticks out. Then there will be floor to ceiling
clear glass. All equipment will be screened using a metal equipment screen to blend in.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted that where they are not using the brick they will be using a cast stone
product. He noted the canopy will be a typical canopy mostly white with a blue band and the
word marked Mobil on the south and west side.
Mr. Hainsfurther reviewed the sign plan. One of the issues they are asking for is the primary
identification sign. There is a 10 foot required setback which means there really is no room to
put that sign so they are asking a variance to move it to 2 feet. The sign code apparently allows
15 feet and they are willing to live with that. One of the other comments was the size of the
digital numbering. Twelve inches is allowed but they are uncomfortable with anything under 18
inches due to visibility issues. There is no other gas station in Buffalo Grove with 12 inch prime
signs and they feel it would be a safety hazard for motorists to make it smaller than that.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted they have Bucky's signs with two of them facing the east and west. As
far as the eastern sign which is a concern to Village staff he noted that if they could keep their
18 inch digital price they can probably lose the eastern side sign. They would like to keep the
Bucky's sign that faces Arlington Heights Road. He stated they have two signs on the front
elevation and are internally illuminated with LED lights which are energy efficient and will blend
in with the rest of the site. Then they have a new sign B-Fresh sign which will be their deli
brand. They will also have an entrance and exit sign over the car wash. Finally there is a menu
board for the car wash that informs people of the pricing options for the car wash. It will go right
next to the pay station.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted the handicapped accessible space will be right in front of the door as
staff had requested. They will work the pavement down so that there is no ramp and flush with
the pavement and they will protect the store with a series of very small bollards that will be
covered with a plastic cover.
Commissioner Myer asked if the colors of the fiber cement material proposed for the exterior
walls will be stable or fade.
Mr. Hainsfurther stated that the material is warranted for 50 years.
Commissioner Myer asked about the handicapped entrance.
Mr. Hainsfurther stated they will work the pavement so that it meets the sidewalk and then to
protect from cars driving into the store they will have a series of 5 bollards right in front.
Commissioner Myer noted she wants to make sure that someone who is exiting that vehicle has
clearance for a wheelchair or some sort of apparatus.
Mr. Hainsfurther stated there will be ample clearance.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked how the metal overhang works.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted there is a wing wall that comes up which determines the eyebrow. It runs
all the way from the wing wall to the east and then back to the north until it meets the other wing
wall. It is spaced with aluminum clear and anodized. The underside is an aluminum soffit
material.
Commissioner Goldspiel asked how far it sticks out from the wall.
Mr. Hainsfurther stated 5 feet.
Commissioner Weinstein noted that first there is a 15 foot sign facing east and west. The
canopies are where the fuel pumps are. One of the sheets shows a Mobil sign on the north
facing and another sheet shows it on the south face.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted the sign faces Route 83. He stated the two street sides are the sides that
have the word mark.
Commissioner Weinstein reiterated the canopy facing the street says Mobil and the sign facing
east/west says Mobil.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted it is the one facing Arlington Heights Road. The two corners that have it
are the ones that face the two streets.
Commissioner Weinstein further noted that now there is also Bucky's on the two-sided street
sign and elsewhere.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted Bucky's appears on the west side and on the south. The B-fresh sign is
to be on the south side.
Commissioner Weinstein stated it is a lot of signage for a little building consisting of Bucky's,
Mobil, B-fresh and Rapid Wash.
Mr. Hainsfurther stated they are not looking for a size variation in any of this. He further noted
they are allowed to have signs on both frontages since they are on a corner. Clearly the
gasoline is one use and he does not know of any gas station in town that does not have their
name of their petroleum product up. He also does not know of any gas station that does not
have the name of their mart on their building. He stated they have a number of businesses even
though they are operated by the same individual or company on this site and they are trying to
tell people the businesses they have. He stated he feels the signs comport well on the building
and they are not overly large. They balance the building to some extent. He stated that
unfortunately signs are important in retail business. If you think of this almost like a mini
shopping mall it is really what you have here the signs are pretty modest.
Chairman Smith asked Mr. Pfeil for a summary of signage. He noted the petitioner has agreed
to take off the Bucky's on the east so where are we at as far as variations.
Mr. Pfeil stated the south elevation has multiple wall signs requiring variations. The ground sign
would be only 2 feet from the property line rather than 10 feet. The digits in the electronic
message portion of the ground sign would need a variation to exceed 12 inches in height. He
said that he will confirm with Mr. Sheehan, Deputy Building Commissioner, whether the sign
areas (square footage) will require variations.
Mr. Pfeil noted that the auto laundry/car wash is a special use and there are variations to the
Sign Code being requested, so the Plan Commission would be well within its purview to work
with the petitioner on reducing the amount of signage. Mr. Pfeil said the staff consensus is that
the sign on the east wall would not be seen by most customers, so it appears that it is not
needed to support the visibility of the business.
Mr. Hainsfurther indicated that the petitioner will consider removing the east wall sign, but the
location and size of the ground sign along Route 83 is very important to the business. They will
request variations to construct the ground sign as proposed.
Commissioner Myer noted there was an appearance recommendation about extending the dark
brown trim at the base of the north wall along the entire wall.
Mr. Hainsfurther indicated that it would be feasible to extend to the dark brown band along the
north wall of the building.
Commissioner Myer inquired about the landscaping proposed for the area around the ground
sign.
Mr. Hainsfurther noted that they are intend to landscape around the sign as best they can given
the limited area available adjacent to Route 83.
Chairman Smith asked about the other exit off of Courtland Drive.
Mr. Pfeil stated he is waiting for the petitioner's traffic impact report.
Mr. Hainsfurther stated he would have it in the morning.
Chairman Smith asked about the hours of the car wash and he asked if we know what the car
wash hours of the Shell are.
Mr. Pfeil said he check the hours of the Shell car wash. He noted that the previous approval in
2004 for the Mobil site restricted the hours of the car wash.
Mr. Hainsfurther commented that restrictions may have been to allow operation between 6:00
am and 10:00 p.m. They will discuss this with their management team.
Trustee Stein he had been asked by one of the residents in the area about noise abatement and
lighting on the site.
Mr. Hainsfurther stated they have had a noise report commissioned and they will forward that to
Village staff. There is significant landscaping proposed for the back area as well as a board on
board fence. They are confident they can allay any concerns about noise. All fixtures are LED
and directly downward on the site.
