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 Page 4 8/21/74 stated he would like to recommend keeping the twice a month schedule, and Commissioner Goldspiel agreed with this . Discussion followed.
