THE MARKET PLACE AT TOWN CENTER This item was withdrawn at the developers request. LAKE-COOK AND MILWAUKEE BUSINESS PARK Mr. Bingham stated they have a boulevard effect off of Lake-Cook Road with a left turn lane going east. They have brought the roads to the edge of the property line. There is a 40' curb to curb street with a 60' right-of-way. They have utilized half acre lots throughout the parcel. There will be 2 buildings behind the detention and they will both have access to the roads. The primary access will be from the street and the second access will be through the parking lots which will be connected. The bike path will run adjacent to the golf course. They feel the engineering for the site will take care of the water for this development. They have provided compensatory storage in their lake. Mr. Gudmundson stated that the speed of the water can be handled with pipes, paved swale, sodded channel or a sodded channel with periodic dykes. They will look into all of these solutions. He felt the water from the golf course going back into the lake (Des Plaines River back water) will improve the water problem. Mr. Kuenkler stated, regarding the development to the north (Corporate Grove) , it has helped the problem to some degree, i.e. there is less water coming from north to the south. The major problem in this water shed is with the back water from the Des Plaines River. If Aptakisic Creek were cleaned out it would provide some relief for small storms. The detention basin is in a logical location. The increased velocity in the channel is something that should be looked into. The developer does not have any proposed tenants. All buildings will be one story between 30,000 and 70,000 square feet and will have a large percentage of office in the service buildings with high cube warehouse buildings along the railroad track. The buildings will be similar to those on Route 83 and Thorndale in Elk Grove Village. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting March 6, 1985 - Page 2 They plan to put the bike path along the golf course and that road will be an easement. They would have a covenant on the plat that requires 40,000 square foot lots and the unbuildable lots will be landscaped or part of something. They did not intend to sell to 60 buyers as outlined on the present plan. Commissioner Goldspiel asked that Ms. Dolan inform the Commission that he felt that the 25' setback from the front yard should be setback further in �•/ terms of the variation of the 50' pavement and the 60' right-of-way. Mr. Kuenkler stated the 47' back to back is for 2 travel lanes and parking. The 40' would still give 2 travel lanes and some room for trucks to stop. This seemed alright to him. Staff felt there could be more green space along the road. Commissioner Sheldon felt there would be more truck traffic in this center than the Commerce Center. Ms. Dolan stated, regarding the 40' setback from the building lines from Lake Cook Road, the interior street pavement is within the setback. Mr. Truesdell had previously stated that he felt the intend was to put a green buffer. Commissioner Sheldon felt in this case with the elevation at that point, this would be alright. Ms. Dolan briefly reviewed the traffic study handed out at this meeting. Commissioner Sheldon felt that the traffic study should have been given to the Commission before the meeting so that they could study it and not handed out at the meeting. She recommended that in the future this should not reoccur. She felt the whole project could have very serious problems in the area of traffic and engineering and having this report earlier for review would have helped the Commission. Mr. Kuenkler stated that he felt Mr. Truesdell's intent was for the Commission to have this study but did not intent for it to be digested this evening. It is necessary documentation for the public hearing. Moved by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Sheldon that this plan be moved to a public hearing. Regarding the rail spur near this development and the commuter station, Ms. Dolan stated that the Transportation Commission made a recommendation at their last meeting to have the commuter station at Busch Road. The vote was unanimous and the motion passed.
