Mr. Christensen further stated they are proposing annexation of the deed gap property of the Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Public Hearing-April 17, 1991-Page 1 1 I Covington Corporate Center with Industrial zoning and re-platting to incorporate the parcel into Lot 10B. Vice Chairman Goldspiel asked Mr. Christensen to explain a deed gap. 1 Mr. Christensen stated that the history of deed gaps goes back quite some time and relates to a time when conveyances took place but the deed did not include a small section of the parcel through surveyor error. As time went on, this small section of land simply disappeared from the record. Mr. Christensen further stated there were no immediate plans for i this property although plans to expand in 1992 by Landis & Gyr are a possibility. This annexation would allow Landis & Gyr to build two full bays on the north side of the building as opposed to only one bay without this annexation. There being no further comments, Vice Chairman Goldspiel closed the Public Hearing at 7:50 p.m. Respe ully s mitted, Fay Rubin Recording Secretary APPROVED BY: ao 1S E HEN GOLDSPI L, Vice Chairman V Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Public Hearing-April 17, 1991-Page 2 REGULAR MEETING BUFFALO GROVE PLAN COMMISSION April 17, 1991 Covington Corporate Center - Consideration of Industrial Zoning for "Deed-gap" Parcel Abbott Business Center - Final Plat Vice Chairman Goldspiel called the meeting to order at 7: 51 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 50 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

Vice Chairman Goldspiel reported on a proposal by Pace to re-route Route 690 to bring it to the new Park and Ride facility. However, this would eliminate present service to Town Center, Twin Groves Junior High, and St. Mary's school, the Lake County portion of the Strathmore subdivision and The Crossings. Vice Chairman Goldspiel suggested that responses to this proposal be made to John Dempsey, Village Associate Planner, as quickly as possible. He noted that Mr. Dempsey has distributed information about the Pace proposal to the Village Transportation Commission. COVINGTON CORPORATE CENTER - INDUSTRIAL ZONING FOR "DEED-GAP" PARCEL Moved by Commissioner Rhodes, seconded by Commissioner Charlette that the Plan Commission recommend approval to the Village Board for annexation of the 0. 5 acre parcel adjoining Lot 10B of the Covington Corporate Center with Industrial zoning. Commissioner Rhodes spoke in favor of the motion, stating that this would finish off the property in an orderly fashion instead of leaving a 36 foot strip of vacant land. Vice Chairman Goldspiel called for a vote on the motion and the vote was as follows: AYES: Krug, Rhodes, Howard, Braiman, Charlette NAYES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Sheldon, Rosenston The motion carried 5 to 0. ABBOTT BUSINESS CENTER - FINAL PLAT Moved by Commissioner Braiman, seconded by Commissioner Howard that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the Abbott Business Center final plat dated February 22 , 1991 and revised March 11, 1991 with a second revision on March 25, 1991. Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 17, 1991-Page 2 Vice Chairman Goldspiel asked if there was any discussion on the motion. Commissioner Braiman inquired if the final plat reflects the requirements of the annexation agreement concerning Abbott's obligations to construct a portion of the loop road system and provide access to the adjacent property owner east of the Abbott site. Mr. Dean Kelley of Abbott Land and Investment reviewed Exhibit G of the annexation agreement which illustrates the obligations of Abbott Contractors and the Concrete Doctor concerning construction of the loop road. He commented that Abbott actually wants to construct more of the road in the initial phase of development of their site than is required by the annexation agreement. Mr. Kelley stated that Abbott now plans to construct the road to the eastern edge of the Abbott property. Access to this road, however, would not be available to the adjacent parcel owned by the Concrete Doctor until the Concrete Doctor annexes its parcel to Buffalo Grove, dedicates land for the loop road, and pays for its share of the road. Commissioner Braiman noted that the plat now carries an access restriction in the cul-de-sac area of the road that allows access exclusively for Lots 2 and 5 of the Abbott Business Center. He suggested that this easement needs to be a public access easement for the benefit of all properties in the subdivision. He also commented that Abbott is obligated to provide access to the Concrete Doctor parcel and he asked if this obligation needs to be part of the current plat approval. Vice Chairman Goldspiel concurred with Commissioner Braiman's suggestion that the access easement needs to be either changed to dedicated right-of-way or an easement allowing access for all properties in the subdivision. He said that the Plan Commission needs the Village Attorney's recommendation concerning the easement issue, and he suggested that the Commission could either recommend approval of the plat subject to the Village Attorney's review or require the plat to be revised and resubmitted for a future Plan Commission agenda. Mr. Kelley stated that Abbott is willing to revise the plat in accordance with the Village Attorney's recommendation and he requested that the Plan Commission make a recommendation concerning the plat so that the project would not be delayed. He noted that revisions to the Plat would need to be reviewed by Abbott's attorney. Commissioner Braiman moved to amend the motion, seconded by Buffalo Grove Plan Comm-Regular Meeting-April 17, 1991-Page 3 Commissioner Howard, to recommend approval of the plat subject to the Village Attorney's review of the proposed street concerning whether the entire street should be on dedicated right-of-way or if a portion of the street could be on a public access easement; including a recommendation concerning the restriction of access to the Concrete Doctor parcel. Vice Chairman Goldspiel called for a vote on the motion and the vote was as follows: AYES: Krug, Rhodes, Howard, Braiman, Charlette NAYES: None ABSTAIN: None ABSENT: Sheldon, Rosenston The motion carried 5 to 0. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT - None FUTURE AGENDA SCHEDULE Mr. Pfeil stated there was no meeting scheduled for April 24, 1991.
