MOBIL OIL
Moved by Commissioner Musfeldt, seconded by Commissioner Gal that the Plan
Commission recommend to the Village Board approval of the preliminary plan of
the Mobil Oil Subdivision at Buffalo Grove Road and Dundee Road dated
July 15, 1985 subject to the review comments submitted by staff for both the
plat of subdivision and the preliminary plan and their completion.
Discussion:
Commissioner Krug felt this was a poor set of drawings.
In response to Commissioner Musfeldt, Ms. Kerr stated the area in the
northeast corner is a green area. The dotted lines around the north portion
are the marking of the existing parking. The developer will remove the
existing condition lines from this drawing.
The motion was amended that the developer remove the existing condition lines
from this drawing.
AYES: Commissioners Krug, Musfeldt, Laskie, Gal

ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: Commissioners Sheldon, Goldspiel, Davis, Demski
The motion passed 4 - 0.
RIVERWALK
Mr. Carmignani briefly reviewed the traffic study previously distributed to
the Commission. In preparing the study they took into account the present
operating conditions, what will be developed on the total site and added a
20% increase in traffic over the next 20 years for the intersection of
Lake-Cook Road and Milwaukee Avenue. The left hand turn entrance into the
site on Lake-Cook Road will not work. They suggested this entrance be
right-in and right-out. The developer agreed to this. This study did not
include the Route 53 extension because the traffic from it would not change
this intersection and did not include the possibility of the Tri State
extension because that would shift the traffic on Milwaukee coming from that
direction over to Lake-Cook Road.
At this point in time neither the County nor State has plans to upgrade that
intersection. The County has been approached by the Village and their
response was that they wanted to see what plans the Village came up with.
Mr. Thomas stated they are willing to take the responsibility for the
construction of improvements that relate to this site at Columbus Drive and
Lake-Cook Road.
Mr. Truesdell stated the Village understands the intersection needs
improvements and has come to the conclusion that the diamond interchange
would be difficult to implement. The 9 lane cross intersection would be a
better level of service than is existing today. Even if this project were
cut in half it would not be a solution to the traffic problem due to other
developments on Lake-Cook Road not controlled by Buffalo Grove.
Mr. Thomas stated they could not build their project if it were cut in half.
Mr. Carmignani stated there is sufficient frontage at Lake-Cook Road to
accommodate all 9 lanes. The northeast, northwest and southeast corners
along Milwaukee will require additional right-of-way. The southwest corner
has sufficient room for a right-of-way but there will be a need for a little
more room for sidewalks, etc.
Commissioner Musfeldt requested that the plan be looked at in terms of the way
it will probably be as opposed to existing conditions.

Mr. Gudmundson explained that the new plan has a new topo and the amount of
property in the flood plain is much less than anticipated as is the
compensatory storage.
The Commission was polled as to whether to hold another workshop. Yes
indicating you desire another workshop.
Discussion:
It was pointed out that Wheeling should be contacted regarding their plans
for south of the site. Riverwoods should be contacted again.
AYES: Commissioners Laskie, Gal
NAYES: Commissioners Krug, Musfeldt, Kaszubowski
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: Commissioners Sheldon, Goldspiel, Davis, Demski
The pool was against another workshop 3 - 2.

Moved by Commissioner Musfeldt, seconded by Commissioner Krug and unanimously
carried that this plan be scheduled for a public hearing when all the
necessary paperwork is received by staff.
AYES: Commissioners Krug, Musfeldt, Laskie
NAYES: Commissioner Gal
