PUBLIC HEARING—BGMF,LLC SPORTSLINE PROPERTY At 7:35 P.M.,President Hartstein called to order the Public Hearing for the consideration of an Annexation Agreement concerning the SportsLine Property(Terico Property), 15801 W.Aptakisic Road,and swore in Scott Gudmundson and Marty Faierstain to give testimony. This Public Hearing is continued from September 24, \./ 2007. Mr. Gudmundson made a presentation outlining the request of the petitioner,details of which are contained in Mr. Pfeil's memo to Mr. Brimm of September 28, 2007. Mr. Faierstain summarized a description of the business that SportsLine will conduct on the subject property. 11924 10/01/2007 In answer to a question from Trustee Berman,Mr.Raysa stated that staff is still working on three open issues and they are still talking with the development team. Mr. Gudmundson stated that he does not believe that the Village and the developer are that far apart on the open issues. Mr.Brimm concurred with Mr.Gunmundson in believing that the open issues can be addressed. Mr. Gudmundson stated that his client believes that the platting requirement at this time is somewhat premature, given the cost and time involved. In answer to a question from President Hartstein,Mr.Raysa stated that it is appropriate to give staff and the developer direction on this issue. The current draft of the Annexation Agreement states that the petitioner will prepare a Plat of Subdivision within 30 days of annexation,and the petitioner is asking for relief from that requirement. The staff position is that this is a key timing issue because it is currently being annexed and the Annexation Agreement is a contract, and they would like to reach an agreement to do the Plat of Subdivision. Mr.Raysa agrees with the staff request. Mr.Goodmanson reviewed the reasons for requesting deferral of this requirement. After further discussion on the Plat of Subdivision,it was requested that staff prepare additional information between now and the next meeting as to the benefit to the Village versus the cost to the petitioner. Mr. Gudmundson stated that they are proposing that this requirement be postponed until there is a major expansion to the building,or an additional building on the site. It was requested that both staff and developer prepare some cost estimates as to what the Plat of Subdivision would be at this point. With regard to a fire protection district reimbursement,Mr.Gudmundson suggested that this cost be borne by the Village of Buffalo Grove,the reason being that bringing this property into the Village will add property taxes to the Village. The consensus of the Board was that this is a direct cost that must be paid,which,if not paid by the developer, would otherwise have to be paid by the taxpayers of Buffalo Grove. While it is true that the development will add property taxes to the Village,once the property is in the Village,the Village will be providing services to that property. Moved by Braiman,seconded by Berman,to continue the Public Hearing until October 15,2007. Upon voice vote,the motion was unanimously declared carried. At 8:06 P.M.,the Public Hearing was continued until October 15,2007.
