dated August 30, 1984 titled Amoco Addition to Buffalo Grove - Final Plat of

the final plat of subdivision for the Standard Oil plat dated
August 29, 1984 be tabled.

a one lot subdivision there are no public sewers or water lines and there
would be no easements needed. He noted the pedestrain walkways and bike path

Buffalo Grove Road. They are not part of the area being platted.

FIRST AMERICAN BANK OF BUFFALO GROVE - CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW
Mr. Geudtner stated this is a 2. 1 acre site on the east side of Route 83,
north of Lake Cook Road. They want to initially construct a 56' by 80'
structure with the possibility of future expansion to the building. He then
briefly reviewed the plan.
They have discussed with staff the fact that they will pay to widen Route 83
to provide a left turn lane near their property and a right deceleration
lane.
Initially they plan on running the bank with 4 employees. Their focus is not
on low balance, high volume accounts. This is not their area of expertise.
There will not be any safety deposit boxes. This will be a full service
facility.
There are no variances on this plan.
Commissioner Musfeldt was bothered with the 6 driveup lanes and the parking.
He was not pleased with the traffic pattern.
Mr. Wells pointed out that they have a better ingress and egress onto Route
83 that other banking facilities in the Village have onto Dundee Road. They
feel that with the amount of stacking they would not have a traffic problem.
In response to Commissioner Krug, Mr. Wells stated the perimeter landscaping
will be done right away along with the sodding. The parking will be shielded
by low level shrubry from the road.
Mr. Wells noted that regarding Trustee Marienthal's comments in the Village
Board minutes of August 6, 1984, if they put the parking all in the back of
the building, they would have to place their initial building forward which
would cause problems exiting the site, as well as with their driveup lanes
lining up.
Mr. Truesdell briefly reviewed the staff comments previouslyr
Commission. presented to the
After some discussion the Commission determined that the third

lane for ingress, as suggested by Mr. Balling, was not necessary.
Mr. Truesdell will prepare a chart of this facility, Continental and the
Buffalo Grove banks regarding square footage of the building, the parking
sites, and stacking spaces for the next meeting. He noted that there should
be 18 spaces in each parking lot. The parking spaces have to be evenly
divided.
Moved by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Musfeldt, that a public
hearing date be scheduled for this plan. That the plan include sidewalks not
shown, and the 6' curb to prevent patrons from coming into the site the wrong
way. The motion unanimously carried.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVISION WORKSHOP
This was deferred.
FUTURE AGENDA SCHEDULE
Mr. Truesdell noted that there may be a couple of plats for approval for the
September 19, 1984 meeting. The Commission concurred that they would be held
until the next regular meeting if nothing else was scheduled for that
evening.
STAFF REPORT
Mr. Truesdell noted that a developer has proposed to the Village of Arlington
Heights a development consisting of 111 townhomes, apartments, 4 large office
buildings and a 28 lot office park to be located on the east side of Route 53
between Lake/Cook Road and Dundee Road.
Another developer has proposed a development to be titled Happ Farm II which
would consist of 80 acres near Dundee and Arlington Heights Roads. It would
have 3 six story office buildings and 2 residential products, one 11 units
per acre and one 19 units per acre parcel. The Village is in the process of
preparing a position paper on this issue.
