FINAL PLAN OF SUBDIVISION - NORTHWOOD GROVE UNIT II
Mr. Kuenkler pointed out that three internal angles are needed in the area near
Lexington Drive, a few building setbacks have to be noted, and the emergency
ingress/egress along Armstrong Drive has to be added. The developer is aware
of these changes and will comply. The bike path is shown on the final
engineering plan.
Moved by Commissioner Musfeldt, seconded by Commissioner Sheldon, that the Plan

subdivision of Northwood Grove Unit II subject to easements being shown,
ingress and egress, private access points, and satisfaction of the village
engineer that all of the proper drawings show the sidewalks.

FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION - CORPORATE GROVE
Mr. Truesdell referred to his memo of January 30, 1984 to the Plan Commission
listing four items to be noted.
Mr. Manhard stated the fifty foot radius line will be added to the plat. The
property has 18 corners and they are requesting they be allowed to only install
4 concrete monuments. There will be iron stakes present at all the corners.
All of the utilities of this project will be placed in the right-of-way in the
front yards. They would like to retain the rear yard easements as private
easements.

Regular Meeting
February 1, 1984 - Page 2
Mr. Kuenkler stated the easement required by the ordinance is the boundary
easement. The sanitary, water main, and cable TV easements are not required.
The four monuments would be alright instead of the total number. This is a
departure from the ordinance though.
Mr. Kuenkler's January 30, 1984 memo to Mr. Truesdell titled Final Plat of
Subdivision for the Corporate Grove was reviewed. There will be no use
restrictions. They will have to meet the zoning requirements and all of the
detention areas are the same as the site plan reviewed by the Commission.
Moved by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Krug, that the Plan
Commission recommend to the Village Board approval of the final plat of
subdivision of the Corporate Grove subject to:
1. Revision of the radius at the northeast corner of Lot 37 to 50' .
2. Addition of the graphic scale to sheets 3 and 4.
3. Addition of concrete monuments on the boundary of the subdivision.
4. Revision of the easement language providing for standard easements
to the Village.
AYES: Commissioners Goldspiel, Sheldon, Davis, Reid, Kaszubowski, Krug
NAYES: Commissioners Goldberg, Musfeldt

ABSENT: None
The motion passed 6 - 2.
Commissioner Musfeldt felt the question of the easement is not that important
in this instance.
PIZZA HUT (RANCH MART SHOPPING CENTER)
Mr. Gordon stated Pizza Hut is owned by Pepsi Cola. They are building their
facilities into high intensity, good restaurants, that are not franchises. He
pointed out that the 38.08 feet questioned by staff is owned by the Mobile
station. The other piece questioned by staff they will own and maintain.
Mr. Truesdell will review the 38.08 foot piece on the approved plat. The
developer will also check out the ownership of this piece. There is a five
foot sidewalk in front of the site and it is planned for a bike path with an
Loi eight foot width. The Village did not feel it was necessary to take out the
sidewalk and put in the bike path at this time. A donation in lieu of this
would suffice.
In reference to Mr. Kuenkler's memo to Mr. Truesdell of January 18, 1984 titled
Pizza Hut, the developer will comply with Point 2. It was noted that there is
$7,000.00 budgeted for landscaping on this site. The present parking on the
back of the lot will not be parking after the building is constructed. It will
as access road. The developer will post parking signs for the restaurant.

Review was reviewed. The square footage of the entire piece is 24,250. The
parking conforms to the ordinance.
The traffic flow for the restaurant was reviewed. The question of the dumpster
placement was discussed and it was determined that if staff could come up with
a better location for it, the developer would comply. The dumpster will be
enclosed with material made of masonry and have gates that open and close. It
was suggested that the driveway on the west side be widened. Mr. Truesdell
will look into this. It is an existing driveway at the present time.
Referring to Mr. Boysen's January 17, 1984 memo to Mr. Truesdell titled Pizza
Hut at Ranch Mart regarding the road right-of-way along Buffalo Grove road in
front of the center, the developer will confer with the owner of the property
and get back to the Commission.
The plan was be moved to a public hearing.
Commissioner Goldberg requested that at the time of the public hearing he would
like to see the applicant advise the Plan Commission by letter, to be included
in its packet, the ownership of the 38.08 foot strip in question.
Commissioner Davis cannot vote on this site because his employer does business
with Pizza Hut.
CORPORATE GROVE CORRIDOR CONCEPT PLAN (R-9 P.U.D. AT NORTHEAST CORNER OF
WEILAND AND BUSCH ROADS) .
Mr. Truesdell pointed out that the developer, at staff's request, moved the
buildings totally out of the one hundred foot center line of the creek This is
a concept plan not a preliminary plan. It will require a public hearing when
it is brought back by a developer.
Mr. Nelson stated in order to set back the buildings one hundred feet from the
creek they will have to do some grading within that area which will require a
variation. This will be subject to engineering approval.
Mr. Freedman briefly reviewed the history of the site.
Mr. Nelson reviewed the plan and the reason for it. The site shows twelve
units per gross acre. A four acre parcel will be left for park site. There
will be a one hundred foot setback from the creek. The creek bounds the site
on the west and north and access is along Busch Road. A second access to the
east will be made through an emergency access from the industrial bounding this
site. The buildings have a common entrance with two units side by side and
will be two or three stories high. The buildings are composed of 8, 12, 16,
and 24 units. The property falls to the west and north. The detention is to
the north. The bike path is on the east side of the creek.
Commissioner Goldspiel felt the plan should have a public street.
Mr. Truesdell reviewed the discussions he had with the developer regarding the
Buffalo Grove Plan Commission

streets and stated this was the plan they came up with.
Mr. Nelson explained the emergency entrance would be through the parking lot.
Commissioner Kaszubowski was concerned about all the discussion on public
versus private streets. She felt that a P.U:D. should provide flexibility.
Moved by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Musfeldt, that the Plan
Commission recommend to the Village Board approval of the Corporate Grove
Corridor Concept Plan (R-9 P.U.D. at northeast corner of Weiland and Busch
Roads) with twelve (12) units per acre and totally devoid of any variations.
AYES: Commissioners Davis, Reid, Kaszubowski, Goldberg, Musfeldt
