GENERAL CAR CARE I
Mr. Joseph A. Bulgarelli, owner was present in this regard.
The General Car Care property is presently operating under B-1 zoning with
a special use allowing a tire store, automotive parts, repair center, car
wash and gasoline pumps. In order to supplement his income, Mr. Bulgarelli
would like to open a Renault Dealership on his property. It is proposed to
be a small dealership, as Renault can only supply him with up to 7 cars a
month.
The Commissioners , especially Howard Mendenhall seemed to be reluctant to
this. Commissioner Mendehnall stated that he was afraid that in two or three
years if Mr. Bulgarelli decided to sell the property, with this special use,
someone might come in and put in a gas station and sell junk cars as a sideline.
He felt that possible we could be covered by a covenant added to the annexation
agreement.
Chairman Genrich stated that he would talk to the Village Attorney, Mr. Raysa,
about this• use in a B-1 zoning district. He will at that time also discuss
with Mr. Raysa the possibility of ammending the annexation agreement. He
seemed to feel that the Commission and Mr. Bulgarelli could come up with a
workable agreement if this use was permissable in such a zoning.
Commissioner Mendenhall stated that the Commission will try its best to help
L/ Mr. Bulgarelli come up with a solution to alleviate his problem.
It was decided that after Mr. Genrich consulted Mr. Raysa, the Commission
would be in touch with Mr. Bulgarelli and possibly set up another workshop
session.
The meeting adjourned at 10:40 P.M.
Respectfully subs -d,

Chairman, Carl Genrich, called the meeting to order at 8:35 P.M. , January 9, 1974,
in the Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Boulevard.
Commissioners Present: Mr. Genrich, Chairman

VILLA VERDE
Those present in this regard were: Mr. Marvin C. Hymen
Mr. Ronald B. Grais, Attorney
Mr. Serwin Braun, Architect - Brim/Braun Assoc.
Mr. Jerrold Brim, Architect - " "
Mr. Grais ihndicated that the site plan included 10.935 acres that they are purchasing
from the owners of the entire 17 acre site. Tonight they presented a plan for the
entire 17 acre site.
Based on the Buffalo Grove Zoning Ordinance, as it relates to parking requirements
for a B-3 Planned Business District, the following criteria was established to
determine the required parking:
For the retail stores it shall be assumed that 30% of the gross building area is
devoted to storage and other related non-retail sales functions. This leaves 86,000
s.f. of the 120,000 s.f. to have parking areas attributed to it, or 252,000 s.f. of
parking lot paving and related drives.
For the office building, it shall be assumed that 10% of the building area is devoted
to those items to be excluded from the area calculations required for parking. This
leaves 63,000 s.f. of the 70,000 s.f. to have parking attributed to it at the rate
of one car per 400 s.f. , or 158 cars required. The theater restaurant combination
l t shall be assumed to be a double theater with 1200 seats total. Based on the Zoning
Ordinance, this would require 190 cars.
Exhibits A, B, C, & D were presented, those being the East Wall Elevation, North
Wall Elevation, Site Statistics and Building Elevations Study,respectively.
Mr. Brim stated that the major change in terms of vehicular traffic is that there
will be a rerouting of the Villa Verde Road. This will allow the developer to obtain
a free flow of traffic and to expand the retail and commercial aspects of the site.
They have decided to locate the service access as far to the south of the site as
possible. The format and concept of the plan will be handled in a series of plazas.

Landscaping is somewhat screened along Dundee Road to give a rather softending
affect to the asphalt. The buildings will take on a horizontal concept to in-
clude some of the fluted concrete units. The upper facing materials will be of
various types of plastering and stucco.
Mr. Braun stated that the entire commercial area is covered with a candeliver type
canopy.
Mr. Brim;.stated that the would prefer not to put in sidewalks along Dundee Road,
their decision being based on. a safety precaution, but if the Village was
insistent on sidewalks, the developer would be agreeable.
Chairman Genrich asked Mr. Hymen to meet with the Appearance Commission before
returning to the Plan Commission. Mr. Helms, representing the Appearance Commission,
indicated that they could meet two weeks from tomorrow night. Chairman Genrich
also asked the developer about the rear elevation, to which Mr. Braun stated that
that the only problem with this is that at present it would only be hypothetical.
Commissioner Gamm asked the developer if they were familiar with the problems of
the supermarket across the street from them. Mr. Braun replied that Eagle had
surveyed the area thoroughly, and feel that this is a sound endeavor.
Before the meeting adjourned, Chairman Genrich asked the developer for a copy of
their contract with Phoenix. It was also decided that Commissioner Gamm would
meet with Commissioner Harris to review the documents on Villa Verde.
The workshop meeting adjourned at 8:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
