IV. COMMITTEE AND LIAISON REPORTS
Com. Krug reported that he attended the Village Board Meeting on
August 3 , 1987.
1. The two single family homes proposed by Ed Schwartz
were rejected.
2. Marathon Oil will take over the Checker Oil Station on
Milwaukee Avenue. This property is not contiguous to the
Village, but they asked for an agreement with B. G. for
water and sewerage. The station is about 500 feet away
from B. G. and they want to annex when it is possible.
Ch. Goldspiel announced that two items on the Agenda are incorrect.
Item D. Johnson Property East is the same as Item A. Chevy Chase;
Item E. Buffalo Grove Facilities Plan - No discussion at this time.
V. MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION
A. Chevy Chase Business Park - East - Revised Preliminary Plan
Mr. Bingham, Hamilton Partners , described the changes that were
submitted on a site plan dated July 27 , 1987. They have moved the
buildings closer to the South property line and moved the roadway
from the South side to the North side of the buildings. This will
allow for better stacking of cars entering/exiting Lake/Cook Road at
the Eastern entrance of the project with a Right-In, Right-Out
\./ pattern.
Linden Avenue would be exited Right-Out Only at specific times.
Traffic could exit Right or Left at the two Western entrances.
A traffic light is proposed for Northgate Parkway.
Com. Musfeldt commented that it would be difficult during rush hour,
when exiting at Linden Avenue, to make a turn to go East toward
Northbrook; and it would also be difficult for traffic to turn left
off of Milwaukee Avenue into Linden. He said he did not see much of
a problem in the morning, with Eastbound traffic on Lake/Cook Rd.
But in the evening, Eastbound Lake/Cook traffic will have to cross
two lanes of very heavy Westbound traffic. He would propose
limit ing the traffic to Right-In, Right-Out only during rush hours ,
3 to 6 PM.
Mr. Bingham said he would not approve of limitations. Left turns
are possible. There will probably be internal Stop signs and/or
speed bumps.
Com. Rhodes commented that the traffic problems will make it
difficult to rent the buildings.
Mr. Bingham agreed this would be a challenge, and said the Eastern
buildings will be less desirable than the Western buildings.
Mr. Krug mentioned the proposed SOO Line Railroad Stop and the
Milwaukee Avenue overpass.
Mr. Bingham described the decelertion lane and said the grade
difference will drop about 2-1/2% - from 650 feet elevation to
644 feet at the roadway level. They have complied with the
suggestions made by Mr. Ken Carmignani , Village Traffic Consultant.
The Plan Commissioners agreed the plan is a substantial improvement.
Mr. Pfiel said that Mr. Carmignani has seen the revised plan and
sees the longer driveway off Lake/Cook as an improvement. He still
very much objects to the Linden Avenue access.
Mr. Pfiel said he has no additional comments , except that this is
a very problematic site, and the access question is the key one.
Mr. Kuenkler said he has no comments , except to ask for the
continuation of the bike path past Chevy Chase Drive.
PLAN COMMISSION - Aug. 5 , 1987 - Page Two
Chevy Chase Business Park East - Workshop
•
Mr. Bingham said they have agreed to do this.
Mr. Bingham commented about the water loop. They will connect to the
water lines to the North to provide a continuous loop. There will be an
additional line in the future.
Mr. Kuenkler said that until the Village takes over the utility company,
the water will come from Chevy Chase Utility Company. The change should
take place soon. The Village water system is connected to the utility
company now, but there are some improvements that have to be completed.
There will be two locations where the SOO Line will be. One will be at
the North property line of Lincoln Club Apartments; and the other will be
the mid-point of Chevy Chase. Water can flow from the North or from the
South.
There are no out lots included on this plan. There will be 7 out lots on
the Western piece. The building to the East will be an office building,
with possibly drive-thru truck docks , such as a tech building would use.
A Tech-Building was defined with offices in the front and storage or lab
facility in the rear for "drive-thru for repair. "
Light Industrial would be 25% or less , office space, and these buildings
will have 75% or less ,office space.
If there are truck docks on the Eastern building, they would probably be
on the North side, facing Linden Avenue. Trucks would back in, because
it takes less space. There would be from 20 ' to 40 ' between the buildings
and the driveway. The docks would be interior, and trucks could pull in.
In response to comments about the narrowness of the property, Mr. Bingham
agreed, but stated he was confident that they could make the site work.
They consider Linden Ave. and the easternmost entrance on Lake/Cook Road
as secondary locations , for entry and egress , that are still important.
Com. Rhodes recalled the suggestion to make two buildings - 2 story, with
one smaller building; and keeping the area to the East a park site.
Mr. Bingham said this was considered, but the engineering problems would
be too costly. The retention pond could not be transferred to the East.
They realize they cannot satisfy everyone, but they have done the best
can to with the limitations of the site.
Com. Musfeldt suggested asking Mr. Carmignani 's thoughts about whether the
development would be isolated without the Linden Avenue entrance. As
traffic grows , and Milwaukee Avenue is expanded, it is difficult to see
how the residents will be able to get across three lanes of traffic and
out on to Milwaukee Avenue.
Ch. Goldspiel said he understood that if traffic is directed to
Marquette Place, it would be easier for the residents to egress their
subdivision.
Mr. Pfiel said if cars are blocked up at both Linden and Marquette, the
next street North is Columbus Parkway, where according to Mr. Carmignani 's
report, a signal is proposed.
PLAN COMMISSION - August 5 , 1987 - Page Three
Chevy Chase Business Park East - Workshop
•
Ch. Goldspiel recognized the residents who were present and asked them if
they wished to make a statement?.
1. Mr. Phil Fenske, 14 Linden - His house is behind the Eastern
building and would be looking directly at bay doors. How many?
Could the building be turned around to have the bays face L/C?
He is concerned with his property value.
Mr. Bingham said there would be two bays , but there would not be room for
entry from Lake/Cook Road. The bays could be placed on the end of the
building. He added that with the proposed berm would be made a sufficient
height to block the visual site from Linden Avenue. The berm is proposed
to be from 3 ' to 6 ' with evergreens on top. There are some constraints
because of the narrow space. The berm will be maintained by Hamilton
Partners and will have a sprinkler system. He said a co-operative plan
could be worked out with Vernon Township for the right-of-way.
2. Mr. Jim Shanaburger, 6 Linden Avenue (last house) - He would
prefer to have Linden Avenue closed and drive around than
have it be an entrance to Chevy Chase Business Park. He asked
for verification that the existing trees would remain on the
property, and added that the Com Ed construction crews have
left a lot of garbage. Does the plan indicate a park to the
East, because the same symbols are used.
Mr. Bingham said he does not have a lot of influence with Com Ed but he
would call them to request the trash be removed. The property is not yet
annexed. The symbols on the plan indicate what is there now, but not
necessarily that it will be a park site.
Ch. Goldspiel said the Commissioners should determine if the plan has had
a major change, or a minor change. If the changes are major, another
Public Hearing will be required. If the changes are minor, a motion would
be in order.
Mr. Pfeil said the Village Attorney has been asked to determine whether
this is a major change. Mr. Pfeil considers the changes to be minor from
what the Commission saw at the Public Hearing.
Mr. Musfeldt said he would consider the changes major, because the road
and buildings were moved.
There were varying opinions , and the question of setting a precedent was
brought up. When other developments come in, will they say the Plan Com.
did not require a Public Hearing for similar changes to Chevy Chase?
�./ Mr. Bingham commented that when they agreed to certain changes at the
Public Hearing, and the plan just graphically reflects these changes.
A motion to the Village Board would be subject to legal interpretation.
Ch. Goldspiel asked for two Polls. One to determine if a Public Hearing
should be held to give the residents an opportunity to respond to the
proposed changes , and the second poll to be comments from commissioners.
He suggested that in the future, consideration be given to continuing
a public hearing, so republication will not be necessary.

POLL #1: MAJOR CHANGE/PUBLIC HEARING - - MINOR CHANGE/MOTION
Com. Musfeldt Com. Krug
Com. Silz Com. Goldspiel
Com. Rhodes
Com. Lundine
Com. Katz
Com. Krug commented that the minutes from the Public Hearing indicate
that Mr. Carmignani had suggested changing the location of the road and
the moving of the buildings forward. It is apparent that these changes
have been accomplished. He did recommend no access to Milwaukee Avenue.
The Commissioners agreed to reverse their opinions and not require the
Public Hearing.
Com. Musfeldt made the following motion:
I move we recommend to the Village Trustees approval
of the Chevy Chase Business Park East, per the plan
dated July 27 , 1987 ; subject to a means of control of
Left turn out, Right turn in, at the entrances without
traffic lights on Lake/Cook Road.
(Control could be signage, or whatever the Village Police determines is
adequate. Com. Musfeldt's opinion is that these turns should be
prohibited at all times. )
There are no Zoning variances included in the motion.
•
The following variances to the Development Ordinance
will be required:
1. Sec. 16. 20. 060. A. 2. (delay detailed grading
drawings submission until engineering for
that tract is completed)
2. Sec. 16. 50. 030. D. 17. b. (waive 6: 1 slope and
paved access requirements for open drainage)
3. Sec. 16. 50. 040. C. 4. (requesting alternate pond
side treatments and waiving of mechanical
aeration requirement)
Com. Silz seconded the motion.
Discussion indicated that the developer has stipulated that the turns from
Linden Avenue would be limited to Right turn in and Right turn out to
Milwaukee Avenue at all times. *
4. The motion is also subject to this stipulation. *
Roll Call Vote: YES - Silz , Musfeldt, Krug
NO - Katz , Lundine, Rhodes
TIE VOTE - Ch. Goldspiel voted NO, because the Linden Avenue entrance was
not eliminated. His vote would be YES if Linden Avenue is closed off.

Mr. Bingham indicated that he could not agree to the elimination of the
Linden Avenue exit without communication with his partners. He asked for
a Poll of the Commissioners to see if they agreed with Ch. Goldspiel "s
opinion. He said after being before the Plan Commission on this project
5 times , he would like to settle the questions at this time.
Ch. Goldspiel asked for a motion which would include closing Linden Avenue
and making a large cul-de-sac.
Commisioners Silz , Musfeldt and Krug disagreed. They felt that an exit
from Linden Avenue is needed. They indicated they would change their YES
votes if this was made a part of the original motion.
A Poll was taken: Eliminate the Linden Avenue entrance?
YES - None
NO - Unanimous: Silz , Musfeldt, Katz , Lundine,
Rhodes and Krug
Mr. Bingham was informed that he has the right to go to the Village Board
with or without Plan Commission approval.
The Commissioners were asked to give comments of other reasons why the
plan is not acceptable, because something will be built there eventually.
Com. Krug: The developer has come up with a good plan for this difficult
piece of property. The Linden Avenue is necessary for access
to the building on the East end and provide emergency exit.
The developer has proposed a satisfactory plan for the
adjoining residential property. There will always be a
traffic problem. The bike path is better than the first plan.
Com. Katz: Milwaukee Avenue cannot handle the traffic and no one knows
when an overpass will be built. There are too many curb cuts.
Too many cars will have to turn East/West morning and evening.
The plan will make a bad situation worse.
Com. Lundine: The two Eastern buildings are the problem. The second
building could be made longer. The buildings around the
lake and the one on the West end are acceptable. All the
discussions have focused on the Eastern corner, the
entrance, the narrowness of the property, the berming,
docks , etc.
Mr. Bingham said there are not too many alternatives for the corner. It
would accomodate a restau
rant
t or a bank
.
Com. Musfeldt: Looking at the traffic study. The development is not
going to appreciably affect traffic because both Lake-
Cook Rd and Milwaukee Ave. thorofares are in Buf. Grove.
and the traffic will always be passing through. The
possibility
of 786 cars entering or leaving will not be a
major factor in traffic of either of these roads , with
5 , 000 cars traveling along the corner.
PLAN COMMISSION - Aug. 5 , 1987 -Page Six
Ch
evy Chase Business Park East - Workshop
Com. Silz: The developer has done a good job. A viable solution would be
to stagger the starting and stopping times of the businesses.
Com. Krug: The development will look better than what is there now.
Mr. Bingham commented that the building schedule for the property is , at
best 5 years , and more likely be 5 to 7 or 10 years. They will probably
build from West to East, at the rate of 1 building per year. The traffic
volume problem has existed for at least 3 years. The speed limit could be
changed and this would be a help provide a solution without waiting for
the overpass , which is years away.
Mr. Bingham recognizes there is some difficulty with the plan, but he
cannot do any better. Property owners have an influence upon the
development. Two-story office buildings have been studied, but
discussions have not been successful. As property owners , they have
rights and responsibiities. He asked the Plan Commission to respect their
rights and give them a worthy recommendation to the Village Board.
Ch. Goldspiel added his opinion. He agrees with Com. Lundine that the
problem is with the building at the East end, particularaly in view of the
overpass situation. The traffic at that corner is not ,done to his
satisfaction. As he stated, the elimination of the Linden Avenue would
make the plan acceptable. The Western section of the plan is acceptable.
Com. Krug agreed that removal of the building to the East would solve his
problem with the proposed plan.
Mr. Bingham indicated he may take the plan to the Village Board.
This would be his prerogative. Ch. Goldspiel indicated the plan has
been improved substantially since it was first proposed to the Plan Com.
He thanked Mr. Bingham for the presentation.
The Workshop was concluded.

BUFFALO GROVE PLAN COMMISSION
Wednesday, August 5 . 1987
AGENDA ITEM B. Hamilton Partners - Furniture Store
Buffalo Grove Business Park
Workshop #2 , Scheme "C" (7/25/87)
Commissioners Present: Mr. Goldspiel, Acting Chairman
Mr. Krug
Mr. Musfeldt
Mr. Rhodes
Mr. Katz
Ms. Silz
Commissioners Absent: Ms. Sheldon
Mr. Davis
Also Present: Mr. Tim Beechick, Hamilton Partners
Mr. John Stewart, Theodore Brickman Co.
Mr. Reid, Trustee
Mr. Pfeil, Village Planner
Mr. Beechick presented the original plat that was approved by the Village
Board. A furniture store has been proposed as part of the development of
Buffalo Grove Business Park. The proposed parcel of land is located just
East of the property that is currently zoned B- 1, that is part of the
Buffalo Grove Business Park expansion. The site is currently under the
Office and Research Zoning.
Mr. Beechick proposed that the parcel be rezoned to B-3 , which provides
more flexibility in requiring specific business uses. Furniture stores
are allowed under B-3 Zoning. The petition is hereby amended from B-1
to B-3 Zoning.
The area being considered on the overall site plan, revision 5/13/87 ,
shows the proposed berming and heavy landscape buffer which would be
necessary to shield the North elevation of the building.
The truck access was a major obstacle at the last meeting. After further
discussion with Staff, and others , it was apparent that it would be
difficult for large truck traffic to turn into the interior dock at the
store. A new plan was submitted, and the new dock area was described.
A circulation drive has been designed to allow for staging, should there
be more than one truck waiting to unload, etc.
There was originally an area 30 feet wide that was the landscape buffer.
The new design would cut the area in half, to about a 17 foot strip, and
a similar plan could be implemented by creating a retaining wall , such as
a timber wall, at the edge of the pavement. The original design was
sloped so that there would have been a swale for property drainage. The
new plan is an improvement, because it will give sufficient green space,
with better access for trucks , and staging capabilities which will not
impede traffic.
Another advantage of the new plan is location of the trash enclosure
behind the building and adjacent to the building. It will be self-
contained within a brick enclosure that will match the building.
•
Mr. Beechick described the way truck will actually enter the dock area.
It is being designed for two trucks , and there should be enough room for
one truck to swing around the other. The operater of the store has said
there is very little delivery truck activity at the same time incoming
shipments are received. Typically, the delivery trucks will be loaded in
the morning and he may get an incoming shipment later in the day. Trucks
will have room to unload inside the building, out of the weather. The
truck dock area will not be completely enclosed. At night, trucks would
be visible from the outside, but the retaining wall will be designed with
this in- mind.
Mr. Krug commented that there could be a problem for the police if the
berm is too high, because squad cars would have drive into the area to.
check for activity.
Mr. Beechick responded that there are other similar docks in the area,
and the lighting would have to be sufficient at the rear of the building.
With reference to the major issue the Plan Commission had with changing
the B-1 Zoning, Mr. Beechick stated they do not wish to establish B-1
Zoning territory rights along Lake/Cook Road. Their intent is to have the
capability for this proprietor to have a good business in Buffalo Grove.
He has agreed to conform with many issues , such as design and site layout,
as to the required perimeter landscaping. The building will fit in nicely
with the business park theme. To accomplish this , they have proposed to
have the property rezoned to B-3.
In answer to the question proposed at the last meeting, of whether Office/
Research Zoning can still be applied to this piece of land if a Special
Use permit was allowed for the furniture store operation. Mr. Raysa said
it could consider contract zoning if it were written into the Zoning
Ordinance for this specific retail use, and advised against it.
Mr. Beechick proposed a possible solution for long-term interest, in the
case that this business plan is not continued for many years. If the
Zoning is changed to B-3 use, with a reverter clause in the PUD, the
Village would have the option to require the land to go back to O/R use.
The proposed hotel is B-3 Zoning.
Mr. Pfeil established that there is sufficient acreage for B-3 Zoning,
because all the commercial zoning from the hotel and two restaurant sites
can be included.
Relative to the possibility of conversion back to 0 and R Zoning, there
would be a lack of parking spaces , Mr. Beechick said they have considered
the base size of the building. They would probably lease about half of
the building as finished office space, with the other half to be used by
the tenant for storage, or service type space. That would not require so
much parking area. They could meet the requirements for 13 , 000 to 15 , 000
square feet of finished office, with the parking space that is available.
A slide presentation of similar type business zones was shown and the
existing landscaping of these shopping centers was described. There is
very little room near retail buildings for landscaping, because of the
requirements of heavy density parking, wide traffic aisles , and many
pedestrians. Sidewalks are needed adjacent to the stores with the added
requirement that signage not be blocked with trees.
PLAN COMMISSION - Aug. 5 , 1987 - Page Two
B. G. Bus. Pk - Furniture Store - Workshop #2
The shopping centers reviewed included: Plaza Verde, Strathmore Square,
Ranch Mart, The Grove and Chase Plaza. At Chase Plaza, perimeter trees ,
berming and a hedge row act to screen the parking lot from traffic on
Lake/Cook Road.
Slides of the Buffalo Grove Business Park were reviewed, as an example of
what landscaping can do for an Office and Research Development. Green
areas are brought up to the buildings , with trees and ornamental flowers ,
to create a nice atmosphere. The same treatment has been planned for the
furniture store.
The height of the proposed furniture store is about 3 feet higher than the
1-story office building, fronting on Arlington Heights Road. A drawing of
the furniture store was shown and described. It will have a glass store-
front, with a canopy running over 2/3 of the South elevation, on L/C Rd.
A mature landscaped berm will gently integrate the landscaping with the
building architecture.
The West elevation will have windows with a landscaped berm of 2 , 3 , and
4 feet to break down the length of the brick wall.
The North elevation will include the loading dock as previously described.
Regarding the parking requirements for O/R as compared to B-3 Zoning,
Mr. Beechick indicated that O/R would need 90 spaces. The furniture store
would have 58 parking spaces (about 65%) , and he added that there would be
a much lower demand for parking at the store than for an office building.
If the building reverted back to 0/R, the docking area on the North side
could be converted into parking spaces for approximately 12 spaces , but
Mr. Beechick said he did not believe this would be a concern because he
believes the building could be marketed as he proposed: office/storage.
Mr. John Stewart, Theodore Brickman Company, made a presentation of the
proposed landscaping scheme for the furniture store. The building will be
seen within a parklike setting. A mature feeling will be created soil-
berming, which gives a natural feel. Trees will include evergreen for
winter interest, deciduous trees give the summer color changes.
The view of the building from the restaurant will be pleasantly screened
with many trees. The owners will need some access view from L/C Road, so
there is some relief. The building design will be framed with the land-
scaping. Ornamental trees and flowers will accent the entry for color.
The landscaping will draw people through the parking lot toward the
building. The building will be screened effectively from the East.
The North elevation has been given similar treatment to soften the effect.
From St. Marys Parkway (across L/C Rd. ) the view of the building will be
screened with trees planted on what Mr. Stewart called an alternate plane.
Berming will appear on all sides of the building, but there must also be
proper drainage , so the building will not be situated in a swamp.
PLAN COMMISSION - Aug. 5 , 1987 - Page Three
B. G. Bus. Pk. - Furniture Store - Workshop #2
The building will have some signage on the building, but will probably not
be permitted a free-standing sign. The plan indicates three signs.
There will be roof top units and the parapet will partly screen them, but
they will probably also have screening similar to the Business Park units.
This aspect would be dealt with at the Appearance Commission level.
Another issue to be considered is lighting of the parking lot for safety.
The fixtures would not be higher than the building itself. There will be
' perimeter lighting around the building.
An underground sprinkling system will be necessary with the berming.
In closing, Mr. Beechick said the usual character of B-Zoning has a retail
stigma attached to it. Whereas , the furniture store being proposed will
require less parking, according to the B. G. Ordinance. The B. G. traffic
consultant has indicated that he is pleased with the proposed furniture
store as it relates to Lake/Cook Road traffic. He will so testify at the
public hearing.
From the environmental standpoint, from the aesthetic standpoint, and from
overall land plan standpoint, the presentation has been consistent with
the Buffalo Grove Business Park theme as seen in the existing buildings.
The proposed store will be operated by Bob Zierk, who has been in business
for many years. They provide interior concepts for people to consider
when decorating their homes. They provide designer services , including
carpeting and paint colors , as well as sale of quality furniture.
Mr. Beechick indicated that this is a permanent plan, and provides an
excellent opportunity to provide a quality business in a quality location.
Buffalo Grove Business Park will not sacrifice its standards. The
proposed furniture store will not downgrade their image and will not
disrupt the traffic flow. He requested a public hearing.
PLAN COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
Com. Musfeldt commented about the lack of parking spaces. There are many
buildings in the area, and it appears to be "busy. " Coming along, on L/C
Rd. there is an open area, then suddenly a restaurant, a corner, then a
building (probably another restaurant) , and the furniture store, all very
close together, giving a strip center appearance. The open space to the
North will not be seen. The footprint is very large.
Mr. Beechick responded that there is a disadvantage of viewed the proposed
area from above. It does appear to be all rooftops and parking lots , but
at the elevation level, people will see green, landscaping, etc. and the
perception of buildings is will be similar to the existing business park.
Com. Silz asked for comparison with Colby's on Skokie Blvd. in Northbrook.
Mr. Beechick did not have information about Colby 's but could provide it.
He said the size of the building could be modified, but this type of
business requires sufficient space for furniture to be shown. The height
of 18 feet provides for clearance for double storage area.
PLAN COMMISSION - Aug. 5 , 1987 - Page Four
B. G. Bus. Pk. - Furniture Store - Workshop O2
Com. Silz said she prefers this proposal for the double docking area.
The other Commissioners agreed.
Mr. Beechick said he is well satisfied with this plan because it will give
sufficient space for staging of exiting trucks.
In response to what view customers at the proposed restaurant would have,
Mr. Beechick said that is the reason that windows were added to the
West elevation to break up the monotony of the brick wall. There has been
some discussion about the company's administration offices being at this
side of the building, so there would be drapes or blinds at the windows.
Ch. Goldspiel reminded Mr. Beechick of his indication to control window
advertising signs.
Mr. Beechick said the lease would include the stipulation that window
signage would be prohibited. It could be located on easels inside the
door. Most of the advertising would be through direct mail or newspapers.
The bike path issue, concerning connection to the municipal campus , is
still being discussed, and nothing is final.
The Plan Commissioners agreed that a public hearing could be scheduled.
Most of the previous problem issues have been resolved. Ch. Goldspiel
would like a definite decision about the bike path at the public hearing.
Mr. Beechick was commended for the presentation.

Mr. Kuenkler verified that the Plat of Subdivision, dated July 23 , 1987 ,
has been reviewed and he recommends approval.
Ch. Goldspiel said there was a question of legibility in reading the
size of one of the 90 degree angles:
Is 90 degrees , 53 minutes and 7 seconds - correct?
Mr. Kuenkler said that is correct, the number is a "5" .
Mr. Goldspiel asked if the title is correct? The Plat reads B'NAI.
Mr. Kuenkler was asked to contact the owner to make sure it isn 't meant
to be B"Nai Shalom and he agreed.
Mr. Kuenkler said he understands that the dotted lines have been
connected, but he has not yet received a copy showing the correction.
Com. Rhodes made the following motion:
I move we recommend to the Village Board of Trustees,
acceptance of the Final Plat for B'NAI, dated 7/23/87;
subject to the dotted lines being connected; and with
