Exhibit 3 : Plat of Annexation dated July 6, 1990
Exhibit 4: Plat of Survey of Lot lOB dated July 11, 1989
Mr. Christensen stated he was here to resolve and finalize the
remaining issue regarding the one-half acre deed gap on the northern
perimeter of the property in the Covington Corporate Center. He
noted that there is also a second deed gap on the south side of the
property, east of the Horatio Gardens subdivision adjoining the
sewer treatment plan involving a 1 or 2 foot strip approximately 300
feet long which was inconsequential. Mr. Christensen further stated
they are proposing annexation of the deed gap property of the

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.

COMMITTEE AND LIAISON REPORTS
Commissioner Howard reported on the Village Board meeting of April
1, 1991, stating that the Board approved the Condell Immediate Care
Facility project. Commissioner Howard further stated that the Board
spent some time discussing the idea of the Village selling trees to
the residents at a discount in an effort to promote planting
throughout the Village.
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.
He stated that the next meeting was tentatively scheduled for May 1,
1991 and would probably deal with Development Ordinance revisions.
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS - None
STAFF REPORT - None
