LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Kaszubowski attended the June 18, 1984 Village Board meeting. The
board accepted the Three States Boulevard right-of-way which will be part of
Covington Manor.
They also approved the Spoerlein Farm Phase 2, The Commons of Buffalo Grove,
and the Buffalo Grove Business Park Phases 2, 3, and 4.
There wwill be a public hearing on the Brunswick property on June 25, 1984.
There was also a public hearing on the lighting in Le Parc.
Mr. Truesdell had a call from Pat Shields who informed him that Commissioner
Goldberg had triple by-pass surgery and is home from the hospital.
CHANGE IN PLAN - CHATHAM MANOR UNIT 3
Mr. Truesdell stated this plan has the same detention as approved previously.
The plan consists of three story buildings with underground parking. The lay
out is somewhat changed. He then briefly went through his memo to the Plan
Commission dated June 14, 1984 titled Chatham Manor Unit 3 - Change in Plan.
There is more open space in this plan and the detention should be better.
Mr. Benkert reviewed the west multi-family portion of the plan. He explained
the reason for the variation. They have a three story building of 8 units per
floor with underground parking and the building will contain twenty-four units
in total. He agrees with the comments made by Mr. Truesdell in his memo.
He noted the parking count will change a little. They are now at 2.129 cars
per unit but they will still be way over the requirement. The apartments will
have two bedrooms from 975 square feet to 1,100 square feet with fire places
and 12 to 2 baths. There will be direct access from individual apartments to
the parking. Each unit will have a balcony of approximately 8' x 20' . The
prices should be around $70,000 including the garages. In response to a
question, Mr. Benkert stated that three bedroom units are too costly to build
in this market.
Mr. Truesdell will do a comparison between this plan, with the present bedroom
count, and the old plan to see if there is a difference in the donation
ordinance.
Mr. Benkert agreed to switch Buildings Five and Six around after some
discussion. This would leave room to move some of the other buildings around
on the plan and avoid a variance on this section.
Commissioner Goldspiel would like to see berming on the parking lot on Weidner
Road.
Mr. Benkert reviewed the east parcel. He agrees with Mr. Truesdell's comments
per his memo. He also agreed to rotate Building 23 more parallel to the road
so that the other buildings could be moved.
The center of this plot will be bermed and landscaped. None of the paths or
active recreation areas go through either the west multi-family or this plot.
They will berm along Dundee Road.
