Plan Commission Page 2 8/7/74 Chairman Genrich asked Mr. William A. Dettmer, Chief Inspector, for his opinion on the Fabian Property. Mr. Dettmer referred to his letter of July 22, 1974 to the Plan Commission stating the structure of the building is in very good condition, the plumbing and heating systems are satisfactory and the septic tank has been inspected and approved by the Lake County Health Department. Some repairs were needed in the electrical system, but Dr. Fabian stated he would correct this . Mr. Dettmer added he had also inspected Mrs . Sylvia Brooks ' structure and it is also in very good condition. Mrs . Sylvia Brooks had no comments to make. Commissioner Mendenhall inquired as to the sewer and water tap on agreement. Dr. Fabian stated they are in agreement to tap on to sewer and water to the Village. Dr. Fabian stated they are in agreement to tap onto sewer and water to the Village within 5 years . This is covered in Article 7 of the Annexation Agreement. Commissioner Goldspiel noted the zoning ordinance implies animal hospitals and shelters comes under M-1 and not B-1 zoning. Mr. Balling stated there was an amendment to this in 1968 or 1969. Dr. Fabian stated the other animal hospital in Buffalo Grove has B-1 zoning, so he assumed this was the correct zoning. Mr. Balling stated after researching the Village Board minutes and reviewing Ordinance 68-23, that, in fact, the B-1 zoning district had been amended to include animal hospitals and clinics . Chairman Genrich stated he would like the Village Attorney to interpret this ordinance. Commissioner Mendenhall stated Paragraph 4 of the Annexation Agree- ment should be revised to include the comments from Ordinance #68-23. Mr. Iry Capitell, the petitioners ' attorney, was requested to review this information. Commissioner Mendenhall inquired if they would be willing to put sidewalks in and put this in the Annexation Agreement. Dr. Fabian stated he would, and Mrs . Brooks stated she was also in agreement. Mr. Capitell stated it was his opinion that the ordinance reviewed covered the property in question here. Commissioner Harris inquired if Dr. Fabian presently owned the property. Dr. Fabian stated they have closed the transaction and now own the property. Commissioner Harris stated the entrance to the property cannot exceed 25 feet wide by ordinance. Commissioner Harris inquired if the petitioner would agree to spell out in the Annexation Agreement that he would not construct any dog runs or outdoor animal housings . Dr. Fabian stated, "Absolutely" . Commissioner Harris stated this should be added to the Annexation Agreement. Commissioner Harris further stated the annexation fee for commercial property should be spelled out in the agreement, if applicable . Commissioner Mendenhall stated he would like it reworded for the owners to tap onto sewer and water 2 years after the annexation. Dr. Fabian stated the 5-year period is favored more by Mrs . Brooks . Plan Commission Page 3 8/7/74 Commissioner Haarr inquired if water and sewer are available in this area to date. Mr. Balling stated they do not know where precisely it is located. Commissioner Haarr stated we should look into this . Commissioner Haarr stated there is a problem on the side yard requirement. Ordinance requires 12 feet and this may have to be waived in this case. Dr. Fabian stated the Lake County Health Inspector said there should be no problem with water approval. Commissioner Mendenhall stated he would like a letter from Lake County on this information. Dr. Fabian stated he already had submitted a letter of this nature to the Village. Commissioner Haarr inquired if the county is aware of the plans for paving the parking lot. Mr. Dettmer stated he did speak to a Lake County officer and advised him of what this area would be. A letter is not available, but the inspector was in agreement this would be feasible. Mr. Dettmer added they cannot see any problem with drainage in this area because of grass and shrubbery to pick it up. Mr. Paul Schmitt of Cambridge Drive stated he had small animals that required care. He realizes there will be a shortage of veterinarians in the future and stated Buffalo Grove would be very fortunate to have Dr. Fabian's services in this area. Dr. Fabian stated he would contact the Lake County people and have them address the question of how this property and sewage system relate to Arlington Heights and how the proposed driveway and addition relate to this property.
