Sheldon Mr. Button Mr. Davis Also Present: Mr. Ted Henderson, Developer, Henderson-Koch Mr. Bill Meinholtz , Henderson-Koch Mr. Bill Lyman, Heritage Place Mr. Jim Truesdell, Staff Planner Mr. John Kelly, Prospective Commissioner Mr. Craig Gilbert, Prospective Commissioner APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Button moved approval of the minutes of the November 8, 1978 Special Meeting, subject to corrections. Commissioner Sheldon seconded P J the motion. Upon voice vote , the motion carried unanimously. o p HENDERSON-KOCH/WEILAND GLEN/STEEPLE VIEW Commissioner Button stated that the final plat of Henderson-Koch has been investigated by the Plat Committee , and that it is generally satisfactory, with the exception of two adjustments : 1 . The Plat states there will be iron pipes set in concrete monuments ; the Committee wants it to read "concrete monuments" . 2 . Legal description: the portion of the plat labeled "exception" adjacent on the East side of Lots 13 and 14 must be clarified. Commissioner Button made a motion that the Plan Commission approve and forward to the Board of Trustees the Henderson Subdivision final plat dated October 16, 1978, subject to the following corrections : 1 . The plat should indicate the monuments to be concrete monuments . 2 . Engineering approval on the survey description of the exception adjacent to Lots 13 and 14. There was discussion on the motion. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting November 15, 1978 - 2 Chairman Genrich stated that all engineering approval cannot be completed at the time the final plat is submitted, and that Messrs . Balling and Boysen have stated that the Commission can give approval subject to Engineering approval. Commissioner Goldspiel read Paragraph W from the ordinance stating what is required for final plat approval. He also read from Para- graph P and Paragraph G of the ordinance regarding the "exception" . Commissioner Harris stated that we do not have engineering on Lot 1 , and, therefore , cannot approve it. Commissioner Shields stated that there are reasons for doing it the way the engineer has suggested, and he would be in favor of approving the plat subject to conditions . Commissioner Button agrees with Mr. Shields . He also stated that the developer was asked to separate the two lots and bring them in individually. Commissioner Goldspiel does not feel the Commission can approve this because the ordinance clearly states in Paragraph W that nothing can be approved until engineering plans are submitted to the Village . Commissioner Davis feels that the Commission could grant conditional approval. l:Jc The motion was droimt for lack of a second. Commissioner Sheldon stated that she does want this approved as quickly as possible , but does not want to have it done improperly. Commissioner Button made a motion that the Commission forward condi- tional approval of the Henderson Subdivision to the Board for final consideration and for their determination of its disposition. The Plan Commission would have preferred to act only on Lot 2 as a separate plat (with a separate document providing public utility easement for Lot 1 if necessary) . However, due to the Engineering Department 's request to the developer that the plat be as it has been submitted, the Plan Commission would like to enable the developer to meet his deadline for construction, as well as his obligation to the Village ; therefore , the Commission is forwarding to the Board condi- tional approval subject to the following points : 1 . The Village Engineer and the Village Attorney assuring the Board that this document adequately meets the engineering requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. 2 . Legal description: The portion of the plat labeled "exception" adjacent on the East side of Lots 13 and 14, must be clarified. 3. Changing the terminology on the monuments ; they should read "concrete monuments" rather than iron pipes in concrete monuments . Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting November 15, 1978 - 3 - 4. Minimum building set-back lines be shown in accordance with the ordinance . Commissioner Shields seconded the motion. There being no further discussion, Commissioners voted as follows : Shields , Button, Davis , Chairman Genrich - Yes Harris , Goldspiel, Sheldon - No The motion was approved by a 4 to 3 voice vote . Commissioner Button requested that there be a Minority Report submitted. CANDLEWOOD CREEK Commissioner Button stated that the Plat of Dedication for the remainder of Pauline Avenue is in order and ready to be approved. Commissioner Button moved that the Commission forward to the Board of Trustees with its approval the Plat of Dedication for Pauline Avenue , Plan Commission Exhibit #178-8. Commissioner Davis seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved by voice vote . HERITAGE PLACE At its November 13, 1978 meeting, the Board requested that the Commission review this Plat, and favorably approve it. Mr. Lyman stated that this is a new product, and that he will be going before the Appearance Commission with it. In a poll, the Board reacted favorably to this new plan, and sent it to the Commission for review. Mr. Lyman stated that the new product will be 2-story, with a basement. Commissioner Harris commended Hemphill for coming up with a plan which matched our requirements . Chairman Genrich polled the Commissioners, and determined that the Plan Commission conceptually approves the Heritage Place Revised Plat Plan 6, Plan Commission File #102-44, dated November 13 , 1978. Commissioner Goldspiel felt that there was significant change in the set-back along the South line to warrant a Public Hearing being held. PROSPECTIVE COMMISSIONER Mr. Craig Gilbert, 280 Red Bud Place , gave the Commission a brief personal background, and stated his reasons for interest in becoming a Commissioner. Chairman Genrich encouraged Mr. Gilbert to attend future Commission meetings. Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting November 15, 1978 - 4 - FUTURE AGENDA SCHEDULE There will be no meeting on November 22, 1978. TERRAMERE/STAVROS DEVELOPMENT Mr. Marienthal reported on the Public Hearing held in Arlington Heights regarding the Stavros Development. He attended to voice the opinion of Buffalo Grove regarding school donations . Mr. Marienthal stated that two school districts also attended and went on record stating that this development will necessitate bussing of students and realignment of school boundaries. Mr. Marienthal reported that approximately 90% of the homes will be 4 bedroom, and that completion of the development will take approxi- mately 5 years . BUFFALO GROVE MALL/DOMINICK 'S Commissioner Sheldon stated that she had a report on Dominick's , which is attached to these minutes . ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Button made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Commissioner Harris , and unanimously approved by voice vote. The meeting was adjourned at 10 :20 PM. Respectfully submitted, Janet Sirabian Recording Secretary APPROVED: Carl Genrich, Chairman Buffalo Grove Plan Commission Regular Meeting November 15, 1978 DATE: November 13, 1978 TO: Village Board SUBJECT: Dominick's Revised Plan--dated 5/5/78 With regard to the Dominick's addition, a determination was made by the staff, that the changes fell within the parameters of Article 11 , Section 4.1-6 of the B-3 Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, this plan was not reviewed by the Plan Commission. On November 8th Commissioner Harris expressed concern about the changes being made. `./ After review, by Commissioners Harris and Sheldon, we direct your attention to the following points: BUILDING SET BACKS: Article XI , Sec. 4.1-9,h, 50 ft. required, 41ft. shown on plan Article XI , Sec . 4.1-9, i, deficiency in required landscape buffer along right-of-way--ordinance requires a 12' landscaped buffer Article XI , Sec. 4.1-9, j, deficiency in required landscape buffer along boundary line which abuts the residential district--requires 12 ' landscaped buffer with 6' high screening LOADING: Article IX Sections 4.1-1 , 4.1-2, location of berths with regard to residential district--to close LANDSCAPING: With due consideration given to the problems concerning this site, we question the rather small amount of landscaping being provided. Appearance has always been a major concern of the Plan Commission. The amount of landscaping at the Mall should be comparable to Plaza Verde. The review of the Dominick's revised plan has been conducted by Commissioners Harris and Sheldon, as liasions to the Village Board meeting for November 13, 1978, with input from the staff, and members of the Commission. Recognizing the problems involved with this site, and considering the points listed in this memo, we are sure that we can reach an agreement to maintain the high standards of Zoning and Appearance for the Village. Sincerely, Commissioners Harris and Sheldon , i
