COMMITTEE AND LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Bocek said she attended the June 18, 2007 Village Board meeting. The Board
conducted a public hearing concerning amendments of the site plan and annexation agreement
for the Villas at Hidden Lake at Deerfield Parkway and Buffalo Grove Road. The plan changes
include relocation of a sidewalk from the east side of the site to the Village-owned stormwater
pond adjacent to the site. The developer's attorney stated that the relocation would enable the
developer to save more of the existing plant materials in this portion of the site. Another plan
change is the adjustment of several "building boxes" to accommodate a ranch floor plan that was
not part of the previous approval. The developer also indicated that the "maintenance free"
aspect of the original plan is being modified to allow unit owners to also own land and provide
maintenance to the exterior of the home.
DISCUSSION OF VILLAGE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Mr. Pfeil reviewed various thematic elements of the plan, including the tasks that remain to
complete the draft document. He noted that items such as the land use inventory and
demographic dated are largely completed. He noted that most of the thematic maps including
existing development, the transportation plan and the future land use maps are complete,
although some revisions may be needed depending on specific recommendations by the Plan
Commission. He pointed out that the economic development element will be very generalized
since the Village has an on-going economic development program, including an annual action
plan. He indicated that the housing element will be a basic analysis of existing conditions and
future needs, but a detailed housing plan, particularly in terms of providing affordable housing,
would be a separate project after the Comprehensive Plan update.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT—None
FUTURE AGENDA SCHEDULE
Mr. Pfeil said the next meeting will be July 18, 2007 concerning a public hearing for the
proposed Berenesa Plaza.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS—None
STAFF REPORT—None
NEW BUSINESS—None
ADJOURNMENT
Moved by Commissioner Smith, seconded by Commissioner Kenski-Sroka, and carried
unanimously to adjourn. Chairman Ottenheimer adjourned the meeting at 7:55 p.m.
