STAVROS/KENNEDY DEVELOPMENT IN ARLINGTON HEIGHTS
Mr. Truesdell displayed a plan of the proposed Stavros/Kennedy Develop-
ment loacted at Nichols Road and Arlington Heights Road in Arlington
Heights . It was noted that Arlington Heights does not require school
donations from developers, and this development will have approximately
600 homes which will feed students into District 21 and District 214
primarily, with a small portion going into District 96 and District 125.
After some discussion, it was decided that Chairman Genrich and Commissioner
Shields would draft a letter to the Village Board, suggesting that Buffalo
Grove and District 21 bring this subject to the attention of the Village
of Arlington Heights .
FUTURE AGENDA SCHEDULE
Mr. Ted Henderson requested that the Commission not wait until a meeting
on November 29, 1978 to act on his development; therefore, there will
be a meeting on November 15, 1978, but there will not be one on November 22.
STAFF REPORTS
Commissioner Button reported that, because the Commission does not get
any input from Engineering before approving plans, there are sometimes
significant changes in plan approved by the Village Board, due to
Engineering requirements .
Mr. Button would like to have Mr. Boysen give the Commission his comments
and conceptual approval before plans are approved.

Chairman Genrich asked Mr. Button to call Mr. Balling and Mr. Sommer
to identify this problem, and see if a better procedure can be arranged.
WILLIAMSBURG-ON-THE-LAKE
Chairman Genrich stated that, in view of what has happened in the last
few weeks, the Plan Commission would like to recommend to the Board
a mix of single and multiple family housing for Williamsburg-on-the-Lake,
which would have a more positive tax impact.
Commissioner Button made a motion that the Plan Commission draft a
1 statement to the Village Board of Trustees regarding the mix of housing
in Williamsburg-on-the-Lake. Commissioner Sheldon seconded the motion,
which was approved unanimously by voice vote.
Commissioner Sheldon will draft the statement. (Attached) .
LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Harris stated that, at the Village Board meeting on November 6,
1978, the Lexington Development was approved with a significant change
from what the Plan Commission had approved. He felt that the Board was
presented with more information than was the Plan Commission, and feels
that this should be corrected.
BUFFALO GROVE MALL
Commissioner Harris stated that the Kenroy management had agreed with
Mr. Fennell that they would do something to enhance the appearance of
the Mall. It had been agreed that the Building Commissioner could
approve small changes from plan without the approval of the Plan Commission,
as long as they were not significant changes . The B-3 ordinance states
that the Plan Commission should review changes - it is a question as to
whether or not it is a significant change. Mr. Harris said that the
Appearance Commission did make a recommendation which does not include
any trees, islands, etc.
Chairman Genrich stated that he will pursue the matter with the Staff
and the Board, and let them know that the Commission is concerned about
changes being made without their review.
Chairman Genrich appointed Commissioners Sheldon and Davis to represent
the Commission as liaisons to the Appearance Commission.
Commissioner Harris made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Commissioner
Button. After unanimous vote, the meeting was adjourned at 9: 15 PM.
