moved to table the matter and Commissioner Shields seconded.
Motion was unanimously carried.
Commissioner Haarr stated he would like at least 1 copy of the
revised plan from Centex.
Commissioner Genrich summarized the Plan Commission's requests
in this matter:
1. School District should be present or send sufficient document.
2. Will reconsider this matter at July 24 meeting.
3. Centex should be represented or information that would
identify the final configuration of the site plan.
4. The Commission secretary was requested to send letters with
the Commission's requests to District 102 and Mort Kaplan.
In addition, a copy of the minutes should be sent to Mr.
Kaplan.
Buffalo Grove Veterinary Clinic
Dr. William Fabian presented the Commission with a Petition for
Annexation, a cover memo called a "Proposed Annexation Agreement"
and Exhibit A of Parcel 1 and Exhibit B of Parcel 2 and Exhibit
C showing the original plat of survey for the 2 parcels.
Dr. Fabian read the proposed annexation agreement and showed
photos and renderings of the buildings involved. He stated since
this is near to the proposed town center the present structure
would reflect the character of Buffalo Grove in its old days .
He would like not to disturb the existing landscaping. The outside
of the structure would be redecorated in earthtone colors and the
porch would be enlarged for easier ingress and egress. A con-
siderable amount of ground lighting would be installed to high-
light the landscaping. Two small rooms exist in the upstairs of
the house. One would be used for an office and the other for a
facility to stay overnight in case a patient required this attention.
Adjacent to the house on the north is a driveway with a barn
structure which is currently used as a garage. Dr. Fabian stated
he plans to use this as a garage and storage area. Perhaps this
would be decorated in the flavor of the house. In the back of the
house he would like to build an addition that would be built with
specifications for keeping animals overnight. This addition would
blend with the other buildings .
The parking area would be asphalted with diagonal parking. As the
office would work on an appointment basis there would not be a
heavy flow of cars at anyone time. Dr. Fabian showed the remodeling
changes for the interior of the house. The side door will be used
for patients leaving. No outdoor facilities will be used, everything
will be inside. The exercise runs will be in the building.

Chairman Genrich inquired if Dr. Fabian had an acre of land at
this time, and he replied, "Yes" .
Commissioner Haarr requested a representation of what the building
will look like on the lot. This would include the new addition,
what the final configuration will look like as well as the parking
area.
Dr. Fabian stated Parcel 1 has a beauty shop and locksmith shop
in a common building. He stated the addition to his building will
be solid masonry with soundproofing included. The basement will
not be used except for laundry facilities.
Chairman Genrich inquired if Mrs . Sylvia Brooks intended to carry
on business as usual without any changes , and she stated she did.
Dr. Fabian stated he worked in Northbrook over 6 years and lived in
Wheeling and Buffalo Grove. He stated the community is growing and
is a very dynamic community and he feels the north portion of the
Village is showing great growth potential and would be a good loca-
tion for his practice. He said there is a great shortage of veter-
inarians in the country and if there is competition in the area the
service can only improve.
Chairman Genrich summarized the following:
1. A public hearing will be held on August 7.
2. The Plan Commission would like to have the petitioner
provide site plan with building, and additions on lot,
including parking.
3. Requested petitioner to call Dan Larson and see if he
would need to appear before the Appearance Commission
before going to the Board.
4. Requested petitioner to provide list of adjoining property
owners for notification of public hearing.
-
5. Requested recommendation of Building Inspector relative to
converting the building with emphasis on the feasibility
of the structure.
6. The property around the structure is zoned R-4 and the Plan
Commission requested to know what the surrounding plating is
including showing where the surrounding property lines fall.
7. A copy of the minutes should be directed to Dr. Fabian.
Fire Station
Mr. Raymond W. Knoeppel presented the Commission with a plat of
subdivision. He stated Mr. Seaberg is on vacation and has not
been available for his signature on the plat. He stated the
easements are not shown because they are not aware of where they
are at.
In reviewing the Subdivision Regulations in preparing the final
plat it was discovered the setback line had been omitted, but Mr.

Knoeppel stated he would add that in his office before presenting
it to the Village Board. A line for the signature of the Plan
Commission Secretary was also omitted. A letter stating the
required monuments will be placed was also requested by the
Commission.
Commissioner Haarr moved to approve final plat of the Lemke
Subdivision/Wheeling Township Rural Fire Protection District
dated July 9, 1974 subject to the addition of a 25 ft. building
setback line, a letter of agreement on placement of permanent
monuments , and a place for the Plan Commission Secretary to
sign the final plat. Commissioner Shields seconded and upon
vote the motion carried. Commissioner Goldspiel abstained.
Board of Zoning Appeals Changes
Commissioner Goldspiel stated the Village Board had adopted the
majority resolution from the Plan Commission regarding the sharing
of responsibilities with the Board of Zoning Appeals and the
Commission. He stated a minority report had been submitted with
the Plan Commission recommendation.
Commissioner Goldspiel reported on a public transportation article
that was of interest to the Commission. He will draft a statement
on public transportation and present it to the Commission for its
review.
Dundee Road Landscaping
Commissioner Haarr stated he felt the Commission should write a
letter to the State Highway Department with the endorsement that
the Plan Commission would like to see the beautification of Dundee
Road completed. Commissioner Harris stated he questioned whether
we could write a letter as the Board had already done so. After
discussion it was decided that Commissioners Haarr and Harris will
draft a letter and prepare a resolution to be sent to the Highway
Department. This will be reviewed at the July 24 meeting for the
Commission's action.
