Revised and Correceted 4/9/75 Plan Commission Page 2 March 19, 1975 Communications Chairman Genrich stated that he had received a copy of a memo dated March 19 to Mr. Larson from Mr. Balling. The purpose of the memo was to provide information as a follow up to the rezoning petition for the Bugner Farm. Mr. Balling informed the Plan Commission that Chesterfield Development Corporation had proposed a development on this site but the Lake County Board rejected the petition. Chairman Genrich asked Mr. Harris if he had been able to attend the December meeting of the Lincolnshire Planning and Zoning Commission. Commissioner Harris stated he had not. Chairman Genrich asked him to attend the March 25 meeting and he stated that he would. Chairman Genrich stated that he had received a letter today dated March 5 from the Lake County Municipal League and he asked if a commissioner would be free to attend their meeting tomorrow night. Because of the late notice, no one was available. Liaison Report Commissioner Haarr reported on the March 10 meeting of the Village Board. He stated that the Board approved Winston Square Phase I and II per the Plan Commission' s recommendation. Commissioner Haarr also stated that an excellent film was presented by the Lake County Soil and Conservation people. He made arrangements for them to come and show the Plan Commission the film on April 2. The Flood Control Commission will be at the meeting to view the film also. Commissioner Mendenhall stated that he left the March 17 meeting before it was over. At the time he left the meeting the R-1 Special Use Ordinance regarding the Public Works Garage llad not be.n discussed. Simpson Property Commissioner Keister asked when the Simpson Development would be coming before the Plan Commission again. Chairman Genrich stated that they were on the agenda for the April 2 meeting and he had a packet of information regarding the Simpson Development which he p p passed out to the commissioners at this time The Appearance Commission has the Simpson Development on their agenda for March 27. Commissioner Keister stated that he would attend that meeting. � I Plan Commission Page 3 March 19 , 1975 Review and Approval of Zoning Map Changes At a previous meeting Commissioner Harris had requested that the Plan Commission members be sent a copy of the Zoning Map with the revisions shown on it. Chairman Genrich stated tonight that he had checked on the possibility of doing this but there was considerable expense in having the copies made and he decided it was not necessary. Mr. Balling presented the Zoning Map with revisions and reviewed the action taken in regard to the following points per the Plan Commission' s request: 1. Underlying zoning district classifications for Village owned property have been shown with the same language used for schools and parks. Where zoning cannot be positively established, the R-1 District is shown. 2. The areas of the White Pine strip and the access lot to the strip have been shown as municipal property. 3. Knuth B-3 Property - I have reviewed the annexation agreement dated December 16 , 1968 , and find no reference to a reverter clause. Since the Village Board has held no public hearing as required by paragraph 4. 1-7 of Article XI of the Zoning Ordinance (to revoke the B-3 permit) the B-3 Zoning District remains. 4. Friedman B-3 Property - I have reviewed the Glen Grove Annexation Agreement dated February 20 , 1964 , and find no clear reference to a reverter clause. 5. M-P Industrial Park - I have reviewed Annexation Agreement dated May 13 , 1968 , for the subject property and find no reverter clause. Property was zoned M-1 on May 13, 1968 , with Ordinance 68-15. 6. With reference to the additional verbage on the "limitations" placed on zoning districts, the staff cannot endorse this recommendation until we receive a response from Mr. Raysa relative to same. Since the entire question of granting "limited" zoning is a sensitive legal matter, it may be inadvisable to affix a reference to limitations on the zoning map. Upon favorable review of Mr. Raysa, the staff will abide by the Plan Commission' s request. 7. R-1* and B-O zoning district classifications have been verified for the Wheeling Fire District property and the Buffalo Grove campus. Plan Commission Page 4 March 19, 1975 Commissioner Goldspiel inquired if Mr. Balling had reviewed the annexation ordinances for a reverter for the Knuth B-3 Property, Friedman B-3 Property and M-P Industrial Park. Mr. Balling stated he had not but would do so. Mr. Balling stated that he had not received a response from Mr. Raysa in regard to the additional verbage on the limitations placed on zoning districts . Commissioner Goldspiel inquired if the restrictions would be jeopardized if some notice were not made of them. Mr. Balling said he would ask Mr. Raysa. Other miscellaneous changes to the Zoning Map were the boundary for the Crossings and changing Buffalo Grove Road to Weiland Road. Commissioner Haarr made a motion that we recommend to the Village Board the approval of the Zoning Map proposed revisions dated March 31, 1975 , as per the attached memo dated March 10 , 1975, subject to review of annexation ordinances of Knuth B-3 Property, Friedman B-3 Property and M-P Industrial Park and also subject to the response from the Village Attorney regarding whether notice of restrictions should be placed on the legend. Commissioner Mendenhall seconded the motion. The following vote was taken: Commissioner Haarryes Commissioner Shields yes Commissioner Mendenhall yes Commissioner Goldspiel abstained Commissioner Harris no Commissioner Jacobs yes Commissioner Keister yes Motion carried. Commissioner Harris stated his objection to voting for the Zoning Map revisions because he had not received a copy of the revised map. Review and Approval of Official Map Changes Mr. Balling presented the Official Map with revisions as requested by the Plan Commission. These are: 1. The bike path provided for in the Capital Improvement Program. A "bike path" is shown adjacent to Arlington Heights Road in Lake County, Buffalo Grove. To compliment the FAUS portion of the road, the bike path is shown along Arlington Heights Road from Lake Cook to Illinois 83. 2. The proposed realignment of Buffalo Grove Road south of Illinois 68 will be shown as such. Plan Commission Page 5 March 19 , 1975 3. Arlington Heights Road will be added north of Illinois 83 to Thompson Boulevard and will be shown as "existing" . 4. Buffalo Grove Road north of Ill. 83 to Ill. 22 will be shown as a proposed major street. 5. Additional collector streets indicated proposed will be: - Thompson from Arlington Heights Road to Buffalo Grove Road - Horatio Boulevard - Mahogany Boulevard 6. Additional changes discussed by the staff at the March 5, 1975 , meeting are also drawn (eg: Marquardt Annexation) . Mr. Balling stated that Arlington Heights Road has not been carried through to Aptakisic Road on the map because Long Grove is not in favor of it being improved in this manner. Commissioner Mendenhall asked why Thompson Boulevard was shown as a straight road when, in fact, it had a curve. He felt that this would eventually be a residential neighborhood and by showing it as a straight street you are encouraging traffic. Mr. Balling stated that he would have the existing curve drawn in. Commissioner Harris asked why the north end of Weiland Road is dotted in. Mr. Balling replied that it is scheduled for proposed realignment. Commissioner Harris inquired why the new intersection of Rt. 83 and Rt. 53 is not shown on the map. Mr. Balling stated that he would review the proposed plan and it will be shown if possible. Commissioner Haarr made a motion that we recommend approval of the Official Map proposed revisions dated March 31, 1975, with the recommendation that Arlington Heights Road north of Thompson Boulevard be dotted in as proposed expansion and also that the new intersection of Rt. 83 and Rt. 53 be dotted in as it will be developed, if possible. Also, that the Plan Commission recommends that upon receipt of the recommendation of the Economics Research Associated study of the proposed town center that we again review this Official Map in the pertinent areas. A roll call vote was taken and the motion was defeated. The majority of commissioners did not think Arlington Heights Road should be shown beyond Thompson Boulevard. Plan Commission Page 6 March 19, 1975 Commissioner Mendenhall made a motion that we recommend to the Village Board the approval of the Official Map proposed revisions dated March 31, 1975, as per the attached memo dated March 10, 1975, with the recommendation that the new intersection of Rt. 53 and Rt. 83 be dotted in as it will be developed, if possible. The Plan Commission also recommends upon receipt of the recommendation of the Economics Research Associates study of the proposed town center that we again review this Official Map in the pertinent areas. Commissioner Goldspiel seconded the motion. The following vote was taken: Commissioner Haarr yes Commissioner Shields yes Commissioner Mendenhall yes Commissioner Goldspiel yes Commissioner Harris no Commissioner Jacobs no Commissioner Keister yes Motion carried. Chairman' s Report Chairman Genrich stated that he had received a memo from the Village Staff regarding a Planning Consultant and changes in fees for planning. Chairman Genrich stated his discussion with Mr. Larson regarding this indicated: 1. It is not his intention to ask for appropriated funds to hire a Planning Consultant to be on retainer. 2 . The 1975-76 proposed budget anticipates: (a) Allowance for Plan Commission members to attend planning conferences (b) Money will be provided for planning consultants to work on a general review basis. 3. It would be similar to when the Village hired Box Traffic Consultant to review the Levitt Development in terms of the traffic plan. (In that particular instance the developer was asked to provide funds for the Village to engage outside consultants to review the traffic plan. ) 4 . The report we got originally had a proposed ordinance to establish planning fees. Mr. Larson does not intend to pursue it. Commissioner Keister asked if the developer would be billed in accordance to the cost or would he just pay the fee? Mr. Seaberg stated that there would be an escrow fund out of which the planner would be paid. v Plan Commission Page 7 March 19, 1975 After further discussion and questions , Chairman Genrich stated that he was going to look into the matter further. Winston Square Phase I Chairman Genrich signed the final plat for Winston Square Phase I which had previously been approved by the Plan Commission and the Village Board. Other Discussion Commissioner Jacobs made a recommendation that the Plan Commission periodically invite to some of the Workshop Sessions some members of the various commissions in order to find out what the jurisdiction of the other commission is and also occasionally meet with the Board. Discussion indicated that the Plan Commission has had good liaison rapport with other groups including School District 96 , the Park District and the Appearance Commission. Chairman Genrich stated that the Plan Commission would like to meet jointly with the new Board after the election and reestablish better communications. Reappointment of Plan Commissioners The tenure of the Plan Commission was discussed. There was some discussion of the fact that a number of the Plan Commissioners were appointed on the same date and there was a general feeling that there should be staggered reappointments so they would not come up at the same time. Commissioner Haarr made a motion to recommend to the Village Board the reappointment to the Plan Commission of Commissioners Goldspiel and Keister. Commissioner Harris seconded. The motion carried unanimously. After their reappointment by the Board, the Plan Commission will recommend two more commissioners for appointment and will continue in this manner until all are reappointed. Commissioner Goldspiel made a motion to adjourn and Commissioner Haarr seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m. APPROVED: , Respectfully submitted, Carl Genr ch i da Isonhart, Recording Secretary Chairman WORKSHOP SESSION BUFFALO GROVE PLAN COMMISSION Commercial Zoning March 19 , 1975 Chairman Carl Genrich called the meeting to order at 8 :30 p.m. , March 19 , 1975, in the Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Blvd. Commissioners Present: Chairman Genrich Mr. Haarr Mr. Mendenhall Mr. Harris Mr. Keister Mr. Shields Mr. Goldspiel Mr. Jacobs Commissioners Absent: Mr. Gamm Also Present: Mr. Bill Balling Mr. Karl Mueller Mr. Arnold Seaberg Commercial Zoning Chairman Genrich stated that the Board made a direction to the Plan Commission that land use could not be limited through annexation agreements legally. He asked if there was some way the Plan Commission could restructure the business sections of the ordinance so that it would be more specified and in that way restrict use. Commissioner Goldspiel stated that it could be made a finely categorized zoning ordinance. In reviewing the business/commercial zoning district format of the proposed Cook County Zoning Ordinance Commissioner Haarr stated he drew the following conclusions: 1. He does not see any great difference between C-1 and C-2. 2 . In C-1 and C-2 they talk about small in size and he relates that to our B-l. All we have to do is fine tune B-1 uses a little bit. 3. C-3 and C-4 are related to our B-3 . He could not find anything equivalent to our B-2. 4. C-5 and C-7 is considered equivalent to our B-0. C-5 does not entirely fit but he feels it is close. 5. He considers C-8 to be B-4 in theory and also included C-6 in B-4. Plan Commission Page 2 March 19 , 1975 After further discussion it was felt by the Commission members that the ordinance should be looked at closer by a committee. A committee was set up to conceptualize the Plan Commission' s response to the Village Board directive to evaluate the current business sections of the ordinance. The members of this committee are Commissioner Haarr, Commissioner Goldspiel and Commissioner Shields. Commissioner Jacobs will chair the committee. Sign Ordinance Because of the late hour the definitions of the Sign Ordinance will be reviewed at a future date.
