Winston. Square - Phase II
Mr. Mort Kaplan stated they were seeking approval of only Phase
II of Winston Square at this time . They checked with the Postmaster
for approval of street names and found there was a conflict of
names . The Postmaster provided them with a list of names whose
use would not cause any problem. The new names will be substituted
for the unacceptable names before the plat is presented to the
Village Board.
Mr. Seaberg submitted a letter to the Plan Commission on the
engineering review and stated final engineering approval will be
given upon receipt of the new drawings . However, as a result of
review and discussion with the developer's engineer, they are in
basic agreement as to what is to be provided.
Commissioner Mendenhall motioned to approve the plat as submitted
for Winston Square Phase II dated April 11, 1974 subject to appro-
val of engineering and change of street names . Commissioner
Shields seconded and upon vote motion carried. Commissioner

Buffalo Grove Veterinary Clinic
Commissioner Harris read a letter from Mr. William Dettmer
dated August 21, 1974 referring to the problems that may come up
from blacktopping, building or changing the grade as well as the
acceptance of the septic field. The letter stated according to
Mr. Gunnarson, Lake County Health Department Inspector, the
existing septic field is acceptable for use by an animal clinic;
a blacktop driveway should have no adverse effect on the operation
of the existing septic field ; and the addition which is planned
to be built in the future because of its location should not cause
any problems with the existing septic field.
Commissioner Harris read a letter from Dick Raysa to Carl Genrich
and Bill Balling dated August 14, 1974 stating he had reviewed
Ordinance 68-23 and did not believe there was any doubt that said
ordinance now permits "Animal Hospitals and Clinics" in a B-1
District .
Commissioner Harris distributed copies of a petition opposing the
operation of an animal clinic by Dr. W. Fabian ( or any other veter-
inarian) on Lot 2 in the Brehm' s Subdivision. The petition was
signed by 10 residents . Dr. Fabian stated the petition was cir-
culated 6 to 8 weeks ago. He has since talked to many of the
people who signed the petition, and showed them his renderings
and told them he would be putting in no outdoor facilities .
Most of the people were in approval.
Commissioner Mendenhall stated to his knowledge not a single home-
owner from this area objected to business zoning while we were con-
ducting our Master Plan hearings and by virtue of their silence they
bought business/commercial zoning and all that goes with it.
Commissioner Mendenhall moved to approve the propesed annexation
agreement for the Animal Hospital of Buffalo Grove, petitioners
William & Suzanne Fabian, and Sylvia Brooks, as revised: Paragraph
7, line 7 , new sentence: Property owners of Parcel 1 and 2 agree
Plan Commission
Page 3 8/21/74
and at no expense to the Village, to tap onto Village water
and sewer before the expiration of this agreement provided
that either or both are available. Addition: Paragraph 14:
At the discretion of the Buffalo Grove Plan Commission and at
the concurrence of the Village Board, the owners of Parcel 1 and
2 agree to install a sidewalk within the time of this framework agmt.
Addition: Paragraph 15: Owners of Parcel 2 agree that they shall
not construct any type of outdoor dog runs or any other facility
designed for the purpose of confining any animals outdoors .
Commissioner Shields seconded the motion and the following vote
was taken:
Commissioner Mendenhall Yes Commissioner Shields Yes
Commissioner Gamm Abstain Commissioner Goldspiel No
Commissioner Keister Yes
The motion carried.
Commissioner Goldspiel stated he felt the letter from Mr. Balling
to Mr. Raysa did not ask the appropriate questions as were presented
by Ordinance 68-23. He added he felt this point has not been
sufficiently clarified.
Dr. David Saidel stated his animal hospital is already named the
Buffalo Grove Animal Hospital. The proposed name of Animal
Hospital of Buffalo Grove may cause confusion between the 2 hospitals
as Dr. Saidel has a multiple listing.
Commissioner Gamm left the meeting at 9: 56 p.m. .
Proposed Annexation Agreement
Commissioner Harris reviewed copies of a model annexation agreement
which he distributed at the meeting. He asked Plan Commission
members to study this information and added it will be reviewed at
another time . A copy will be forwarded to Mr. Dan Larson, and his
comments will also be requested.
Flood Plain Ordinance
Commissioner Keister stated compared to the Ordinance in existence
(No. 68-21) the proposed Flood Plain Ordinance is much more
understandable and comprehensive . The definitions are also more
specific. He requested copies of the draft dated June 27, 1974
be distributed to Plan Commission members so this can be recommended
for ap
proval.
Plan Commission Meeting Schedule
Commissioner Harris announced the Plan Commission would resume
its weekly meeting schedule in September. Commissioner Mendenhall
Plan Commission
