COMMITTEE & LIAISON REPORTS Chairman Sheldon noted that a presentation of the Buffalo Grove Transportation Plan will be made on July 6, 1987 and the Commission will receive a copy of it. Trustee Reid stated that a meeting was held on June 9th with President Clayton, Mr. Pfeil, Mr. Szymborski, Chairman Sheldon, five residents of the Crossings area, representatives of the Otis development team and himself on the Otis property approximately 12.6 acres titled the Crossings Commercial. They discussed the plan presented and the views of the residents. Mr. Otis indicated that he would be presenting a revised plan which in, Trustee Reid's view, would represent a major change in the plan. It would eliminate the size of the anchor store and redesign it more in line with the residential appearance of the shopping center. They discussed the need for more impact analysis regarding the financial, traffic and impact on the residential property values. The report will not be available for the Village Board meeting on June 15, 1987 but should be ready for the meeting on July 6th. No decision will be made at the June 15th meeting. DOJUTREK PRELIMINARY PLAN Mr. Kuenkler had reviewed the general municipal code and could not find any requirements for water hook up. However, anyone within 400' of the connection, according to the sewer code, should hook up. The Development Ordinance states once you are a development you must connect. The water main is at the Busch and Checker Roads. The location at Shady Grove presents a problem as you would be running a line under private property. You would have one person's service line on another person's property. It is feasible but has not been done in the Village and could cause problems if the line leaked. Mr. Skelton had looked through the agreement and the bonding agreement with IDOT but could not find any statements stating you had to connect. You have to have enough connections to use the allotment. Mr. Kuenkler stated the approximate cost to connect to the Busch and Checker location to bring in a public water main would be in the range of $20,000. It is not going to happen building a single family home. A well would cost approximately $3,000 to $4,000 going down to the shallow aquifier. Buffalo Grove is not allowed to go into the deep aquifier because of their agreement with IDOT for the water allocation. Mr. Dojutrek is still asking for the stated variations. Moved by Commissioner Goldspiel, seconded by Commissioner Davis that the Plan Commission recommend to the Village Board approval of the preliminary plan of the Dojutrek subdivision as shown on the plan dated April 9, 1987 including the following variations: 1. 16.50.070.D.2 to waive the requirement to dedicate 4' of right-of-way on Route 83 2. 16.50.080.A.1 waive the sidewalk requirement on Route 83 3. 16.50.080.A.2 allow gravel driveway 4. 16.50.090 to waive the bike path requirement Buffalo Grove Plan Commissio Special Meeting - Page 2 June 10, 1987 5. 16.50.100.0 waive street light requirement on Route 83 6. 16.50.120.A to waive the parkway tree requirement Subject to: 1. A covenant that would provide that if there is any future subdivision of this property, the non-conforming use would be eliminated. That the variations granted would be eliminated, and the property would be brought into conformance to those sections of the code. 2. If the Village water main comes within 200' of the property on Route 83 that the water would be connected to the Village main with the understanding that this does not include any water main on Shady Grove. 3. An easement be granted for access to Route 83 over the driveway on Parcel B 4. If Parcel B is sold that the non conforming use would be eliminated 5. Inclusion of a sidewalk easement shown on the final plat Discussion: Mr. Sowizal wanted to make sure that the commercial would not be expanded but remain the same as it presently exists. Commissioner Goldspiel stated these variations and waivers wouldn't ordinarily be granted, but this was a case of special hardship on a single lot with a particular plan. AYES: Commissioners Goldspiel, Davis, Krug, Musfeldt, Rhodes, Silz and Lundine NAYES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Commissioners Katz The motion passed 7 - 0. BUFFALO GROVE TOWN CENTER UNIT I - FINAL PLAT OF SUBDIVISION Mr. Kuenkler distributed a final plat for this site. He stated he had noted 5 changes on the plan as stated in his June 10, 1987 memo to Mr. Pfeil titled Buffalo Grove Town Center Final Plat of Subdivision. Commissioner Davis stated that the Commission had an agreement that it would not consider any plan that was handed out at a meeting. Chairman Sheldon noted that this had been an informal polling and strongly urged staff not to do this in the future. She is aware of the special circumstances in this instance regarding the TIF financial and the importance of expediting the matter. Buffalo Grove Plan Commissio Special Meeting - Page 3 Juna_10_ 1987 Mr. Kuenkler stated he felt the exceptions on the plat were appropriate. Regarding the setback line on Checker Road he noted the requirement was 35' from an arterial and 25' from all others. These streets are proposed to be private with public access. The plan as presented is what the Village Board wanted. Mr. Schwartz noted the entire 55.12 acre site is owned by the same entity. The Village Board has seen this plan. The change in public versus private situation was in order to obtain financing. That requirement is no longer necessary. The streets are now private as the developer originally intended. Mr. Skelton noted that this is not a big enough change to require another hearing. Mr. Schwartz noted that it is the legal interpretation of the developer that another public hearing is not necessary. If it were, he would ask the Village for one. Moved by Commissioner Goldspiel, seconded by Commissioner Rhodes that the Plan Commission recommend to the Village Board approval of final plat of subdivision for Buffalo Grove Town Center Unit dated June 9, 1987. The Village Board should be advised that there is a difference as explained in Mr. Balling's memo to the Village Board, Chairman Sheldon and the Plan Commission dated June 5, 1987 titled Public Access Easement, to the way the ownership of the streets as to this and the preliminary plan that the Commission forwarded to them. Discussion: Mr. Kuenkler was satisfied with the angles on Lake Cook Road. AYES: Commissioners Goldspiel, Davis, Krug, Musfeldt, Rhodes, Silz and Lundine NAYES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Commissioners Katz The motion passed 7 - 0. Mr. Schwartz thanked the Commission for all their efforts on this plan. FUTURE AGENDA Chairman Sheldon requested that no agenda go out under her signature unless she has signed it. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Krug, and unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting. Chairman Sheldon adjourned the meeting at 8:22 P.M.
