COMMITTEE & LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Gal attended the October 21, 1985 Village Board meeting. There
were no referrals to the Plan Commission and the following items were
reviewed:
The development of Buffalo Grove Road was discussed. It is behind
schedule and they plan to complete the 2 north bound lanes before the
bad weather sets in.
a./ There was some discussion on Dominicks operating 24 hours. The Village
is looking into limiting business hours from 7:00 A.M. until midnight.
Dominicks would like to have a 60 day trial period to see if it is
feasible to have a 24 hour operation.
A petition for public hearing of RESCORP was dropped.
The village has issued 10 revenue bonds to this date.
Commissioner Goldspiel noted that at the Village Board meetingof
P g
October 28, 1985 was cancelled. He has been in contact with a group of
concerned citizens regarding the development of Lake-Cook Road. They are
pursuing an underpass for the railroad tracks, possible bus service along
Lake-Cook Road, possible light rail service by extending the Skokie Swift
north and possibly west. The problem of Lake-Cook Road is going to get
worse. Commissioner Goldspiel felt that the Village should look closely at
the situation, reconsider the extension of Route 53 and study the Lake-Cook
Road and Milwaukee Avenue intersection.
Mr. Glover stated the Village Board has passed a resolution asking Federal
Aid Urban System (FAUS) funding for improvement of the Milwaukee Avenue and
Lake-Cook Road intersection. Mr. Balling had contacted surrounding
communities looking for funding to improve this intersection but did not have
much success.
JOHNSON PROPERTY WEST OUTLOTS
Moved by Commissioner Goldspiel, seconded by Commissioner Krug that the Plan
Commission recommend to the Village Board the rezoning of Lot 32 in Block 9
Columbian Gardens Unit 4 and Lot 31 in Block 1 of Columbian Gardens Unit 4
from UR-1 to I.
Discussion:
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that since the surrounding area is zoned in a
certain way and since these are outlots that were left out for legal reasons
it makes sense to zone them the same.
AYES: Commissioners Goldspiel, Krug, Musfeldt, Laskie, Gal
NAYES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: Commissioners Davis, Demski, Kaszubowski
The motion passed 5 - 0.

ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - SECTION 17.44.060.C.1.b.
Moved by Commissioner Musfeldt, seconded by Commissioner Krug that the Plan
Commission recommend to the Village Board the amending of Section
17.44.060.C.1.b. of the Buffalo Grove Zoning Ordinance to permit a rectory as
a permitted use in the B-5 District.
Discussion:
Commissioner Krug and Commissioner Laskie stated their families are members
of the parish but think this pertains to the parish and is merely to take
care of the zoning on this site.
Commissioner Krug felt there should be a definition of a rectory in the
ordinance. Staff will look into this.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that the list of permitted uses for B-5
includes community and recreational centers and this seems the way this
addition will be used. He feels an argument could be made that the use fits
within this ordinance.
AYES: Commissioners Goldspiel, Krug, Musfeldt, Laskie, Gal
NAYES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: Commissioners Davis, Demski, Kaszubowski

for the goals and policies and the densities. Mr. Truesdell briefly reviewed
the changes, which were underlined in the goals and policies section.
Mr. Truesdell will copy the ratios from his cover letter dated
�•/ October 21, 1985 to the Plan Commission titled Comprehensive Plan Revision
Revised Goals & Policies & Density Plan under Housing Policies #8. He then
reviewed the densities.
Moved by Commissioner Goldspiel, seconded by Commissioner Musfeldt that the

outlined in Mr. Truesdell's memo pertaining to densities and as contained in
the goals and policies for future development, draft dated October 21, 1985

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Moved by Commissioner Laskie, seconded by Commissioner Gal that Commissioner
Goldspiel be appointed Vice Chairman of the Plan Commission.
Discussion:
Commissioner Krug suggested that the Vice Chairman be someone who does not
travel so that they can attend most of the meetings.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated that his travel is arranged months in advance
and he would have no problem attending meetings.
Moved by Commissioner Musfeldt, seconded by Commissioner Gal and unanimously
carried that the motion be accepted by acclamation.
Chairman Sheldon thanked the Plan Commission for its cooperation during the
busy Commission schedule. The extra meetings will probably go on until after
the first of the year.

PUBLIC HEARING
BUFFALO GROVE PLAN COMMISSION
Consideration of an amendment to Section 17.44.060.C.1.B. of the Buffalo
Grove Zoning Ordinance.
October 30, 1985
Chairman Sheldon called the public hearing to order at 7:43 P.M. in the
Public Service Center, 51 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
Commissioners Present: Chairman Sheldon
Mr. Goldspiel
Mr. Krug
Mr. Musfeldt
Mr. Laskie
Mr. Gal
Commissioners Absent: Mr. Davis
Mr. Demski
Ms. Kaszubowski
Also Present: Mr. Carl Hundreiser, Architect, St. Mary's
Father Duffy, Pastor, St. Mary's
Mr. G. Glover, Village Trustee
Mr. J. Truesdell, Village Planner
Chairman Sheldon read the notice of the public hearing as published in the
newspapers and informed the audience of the format the meeting would take. She
then swore in Messrs. Hundriser, Truesdell and Father Duffy.
Mr. Truesdell stated the only addition to the B-5 Ordinance is that the
Village has added the word rectory. Because the rectory is not listed as a
permitted use it is considered a legal nonconforming use. The hearing is to
consider amending the B-5 Ordinance to add a rectory to this district.
Before the B-5 District, St. Mary's was listed as R-1 with a special use for
a rectory. The B-5 District defines that this is the town center and it is
the only area in the Village that will be zoned B-5. We are making the
rectory a permitted use in the B-5 District.
Father Duffy explained that a rectory serves as a residence and
administrative offices.
Mr. Hundreiser stated they wish to construct a one story addition to the
rectory which will house offices and a meeting room. It will have the same
exterior as the existing rectory but will need a variation to allow the
building to be 27' from the right-of-way instead of the required 35' .
Mr. Truesdell stated that Mr. Kuenkler noted due to the small size of the
addition it did not increase the present detention requirements. The Village
has looked at this as an addition to an existing building rather than a new
development and since the existing parking is adequate to serve the addition,
it does not need to be increased. The Village attorney felt that since this
is an addition to an existing property there was no reason to have a full
preliminary plan approval. We are dealing with this as an addition as
opposed to a preliminary plan approval.
Chairman Sheldon pointed out that if the back yard were used for anything
other than open space there could be a detention problem.
Chairman Sheldon closed the public hearing at 8:05 P.M.
