COMMITTEE & LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Goldspiel attended the February 4, 1985 Village Board meeting
where a single family project of 36 homes was reviewed but not referred to
the Commission.
Commissioner Goldspiel attended the February 5, 1985 Transportation
Commission meeting where they set their goals for the upcoming year and
discussed bus routes and Soo Line Commuter Rail service for the Village.
Commissioner Krug attended the January 28, 1985 Village Board meeting where
the Lake Cook and Milwaukee Business Park was referred to the Commission.
Mr. Truesdell noted that the Village Board has approved hiring a traffic
consultant to work for the Village on a contingency basis. The firm chosen
was James J. Benes and Associates.
LAKE COOK & MILWAUKEE BUSINESS PARK (JOHNSON PROPERTY)
Mr. Wauterlek stated they prefer to present this project in two phases.
Phase I would be the industrial site and Phase II would be the site zoned
B-3. The industrial section would be reviewed at this meeting and the B-3
would be a separate petition because they still had many items to work out
before presentation.
He explained that there are three entrances to their project along Lake/Cook
Road. The main entrance would be at the industrial section. When they
develop the B-3 area there would be a need to keep the traffic moving with
two additional entrances. The industrial entrance would be the major
entrance for both sites. All three access points are presently existing.
They will have a mixed use of buildings. There will be bulk warehouses along
the railroad track and utilization of the area near the golf course as
service center, one story office and smaller tenant warehouse buildings.
They are willing to put in an emergency access road. They want to subdivide
the site and build as buyers approach them. The only variation they are
asking for is on the width of the right-of-way. The requirement is 80' with
47' pavement. They would like to have 41' pavement and a 60' right-of-way.
Outside of the right-of-way they will have additional easements for the
Village they would be willing to grant.
Mr. Truesdell pointed out that this variation is to the Development Ordinance
which would require a public hearing.
Commissioner Musfeldt was uncomfortable with the site being land locked and
felt the access to the north should only be for emergencies and not a through
street into the residential above.
Commissioner Goldspiel would like the R-9 on the north end tied into the
Village. He would like to see it paved.
He pointed out that Nortran is concerned about vehicular access at Lake/Cook
Road. If there is going to be a rail station at that point it would have to
be in conjunction with the curb cut. The main access to this project will
bear the most traffic at this point.
Staff was not sure what could be done for an emergency access point for this
project if the R-9 is not developed.
Mr. Truesdell pointed out that the Restaurant planned for the first building
shown on the east side of the entrance in the industrial site would have to
be rezoned if it were to be developed as a restaurant as it is not a
permitted use in the industrial district.
The Commission expressed concern regarding the flooding problem on Lake/Cook
Road near this site and would like to see some engineering and/or a memo from
the Village Engineer explaining it.
