Trustees Bosslet, Chernick, Gallitano, Hauser, Petri , Tosto; NAY: none;
ABSENT: none; motion carried.
Trustee Hauser stated he requested the removal of item "M" from the

opportunity to study the matter further. Trustee Hauser requested the
Village Manager provide the Board with further information relating to
item "M", the costs involved with the new facility and the new equipment
relating to the Northwest Central Dispatch.
The Village Manager presented a recommendation from the Plan Commission
regarding the rezoning of property located at 10 King Street from B-1,
Business District, to B-2, General Business.
It was moved by Trustee Chernick and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
Board concur with the Plan Commission and direct the Village Attorney to
prepare the proper ordinance to rezone the property located at 10 King
Street from B-1 to B-2 Zoning District. The motion was voted upon by
acclamation; whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
The Petitioner, Harriet Cohen addressed the Board and requested that the
Building Department be permitted to issue a building permit prior to the
adoption of the ordinance which would permit the rezoning of 10 Kent
Street to allow for a Day Care Center.
The Building Commissioner indicated that there would be no problem in the
issuance of the permits upon completion of the plan review, which would be
done in a few days; therefore the Board offered no objections.
The Village Manager presented a recommendation from the Zoning Board of
Appeals that the request for a variation to permit the construction of a
solid fence at 299 Yarmouth Road that would infringe the entire 10 feet to
the property line and originate from the front edge of the house be denied.
President Zettek informed the Board that the petitioner, Mrs. Gerardi ,
wrote a letter to the Chairman of the Zoning Board requesting that they
give her the opportunity to present her case again. President Zettek
spoke to Chairman Brandt who indicated to him that the Zoning Board when
they first met did not have a quorum, but there were several neighbors who
attended and objected to the requested variation. When the Zoning Board
met again and did have a quorum, those same neighbors voiced their
objections and the Zoning Board, after considering all of the evidence,
did not feel there was sufficient need indicated by the petitioner to
allow for the variation.
Chairman Brandt informed the President that he consulted with all of the
members of the Zoning Board of Appeals and they did not feel anything
would be gained by conducting another meeting.
Mrs. Gerardi addressed the Board and asked for their consideration of her
original petition to construct the fence.
The President responded that the Board has, over the past year, reviewed
and amended the fence ordinance to conform with their position as to what
can be considered in all of the various geographic locations throughout
the Village.
It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Chernick that the
Board concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals,

Board concur with the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals,
Docket No. 88-18, and direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance
which would grant a variation for a reduction of parking spaces for

President Zettek stated that the Board received a letter of recommendation
of approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals to approve a variation to
permit the construction of a solid fence which would infringe 9 feet into
the 10 foot setback line on property located at 841 Debra Lane, however
the Trustees would like to review the property before acting on the

The President reported that the O'Hare Advisory Committee will be meeting

year.
Trustee Hauser reported that the Short Range Planning Committee of
TRANSPART met at the Mount Prospect Library on December 1, 1988 with
various developers and consultants to discuss a model ordinance which had
been presented to them relative to traffic mitigation. The ordinance
includes, among other items, some impact fees. The general consensus of
the developers was that while they recognize there might be a need for the
tax, they are also looking for the Northwest Municipal Conference to
pursue further a Gasoline Tax to help in the mitigation and impact that
traffic has on the Northwest Suburbs. The Committee will meet again on
January 17, 1989 at the Mount Prospect Library to further discuss the
ramifications of that ordinance.
Trustee Gallitano, Chairman of the Recycling Committee, scheduled a

1989.
2. The North Cook County Solid Waste Agency will meet

The topic of discussion will be the Strategic Regional

program celebrating Senior Citizens in May of 1989.
(The) Community Service Board President, Harriet
Dalasky and Board member, Ruth Guest have been
appointed to serve on the planning committee for that
program.
At this time, 8:51 p.m. , the President asked if anyone in the audience
wished to address the Board.
Two members of the audience, a representative from the Park Chardonay
Development and a resident of the Village living on property abutting Salt
Creek, spoke to the Board.
At this time, 8:54 p.m, the President called for a short recess until
approximately 9:00 p.m. when the Board would listen to and consider a
presentation by the Kimball Hill developers, concerning their proposed
development of property located at the northeast corner of I-290 and Devon
Avenue.
The meeting resumed at 9:08 p.m. with all Board members present.
President Zettek stated that there has been two hearings conducted by the
Plan Commission and as a result of those hearings the Plan Commission
indicated that the following variation to the Subdivision Control
Ordinance would be advisable:
1. Eliminate the requirement for alleys.
2. Reduction of the right-of-way width from
sixty to fifty feet.
3. Increase the cul-de-sac length from 400
to 650 feet.
4. Cash payment in lieu of land dedication.
5. Reduction in building envelope from thirty
- 6 - 12-13-88
feet to ten feet for purposes of calculating
open space.
However, there was the subject of the ability of the developer to provide
for a road that would link Biesterfield Road with Park Boulevard, which
the developer stated that he would not consider to provide at the time of
the hearings. As a result of that decision by the developer the Plan
Commission by a 4 to 1 vote recommended that the project be denied.
The Village Board has discussed the recommendation of the Plan Commission
and in that discussion two points were brought out quite forceably as of
great concern:
1. The need for some area to be designated as
a recreational area or park site.
2. That there was no provision for a road that
would link Biesterfield Road to Park Boulevard.
The Board felt that should this project be
approved and should there be a cash advance
to the Village, in lieu of park land, that
those monies would be put into escrow and
held so that in the immediate years ahead
should there be a need for that road those
monies would be ready and available.
President Zettek stated that the two points mentioned above were related
to Kimball Hill and Trammel Crow (who will be developing the 21 remaining
acres under the current Office Transitional Zoning) . It was indicated to
the developers that they ought to share, in some method, the cost of that
road should that road be deemed necessary at some later date. The
developer in tonight's presentation will address those concerns of the
Village Board.
The meeting was opened to the audience for 45 minutes for those wishing to
express their opinions on the proposed development before the developer
gives his presentation.
Comments were made for and against the development by: Leah Cummins,
Anthony Vallillo, Olga Seda, Zorana Dlugosz, Walter Haas, Chris Stade,
John Sagendorf, Kenneth Frey, John Cosgriff and Fran Spohr.
Representatives of Kimmball Hill and Trammel Crow delivered comments to
the Board describing the difference between the original proposal by
Trammel Crow to develop this property and the proposal submitted by
Kimball Hill for the residential development of this area.
The original plan submitted and approved called for the land use to
include retail , multi-family housing, office space and two restaurants.
The new proposal calls for the office parcel to be widened slightly.
Since the demand for the restaurant parcels did not become apparent, those
two parcels were incorporated into the remainder of the property.
The Kimball Hill proposal calls for the 57 acre portion of the property to
include "for sale" single family and multi-family units. This proposal
reflects an approximate 35% decrease in density from the original
Trammell Crow approved proposal .
Mr. Lawrence Johannesen, Senior Vice-President of Kimball Hill , addressed
the concerns of the Village Board and the Plan Commission regarding a
recreational area and a road which would link Devon Avenue to Biesterfield
Road. By eliminating 10 housing units from their plan the developers were
able to produce a .98 acre park which would include playground equipment,
substantial landscaping and open space which would be a private park area
to be maintained by the homeowners association.
As to the Boards concern for a connecting road, a drawing was shown which
indicated an emergency connection located at the northern most edge of
- 7 - 12-13-88
their property at Park Boulevard and Martha Street. There would be two
"ribbons" of sidewalk so that it would not look like a road, but designed
in such a fashion so that they will carry the weight, size and separation
of emergency vehicles.
The developer also agreed that in addition to the cash, in lieu of land,
donation to the Village they will establish a Letter of Credit in the
amount of $253,000.00 for a road extension from the north line of Park
Avenue to Biesterfield Road to be held by the Village to be used in the
event that traffic demands, in the next few years, indicate the need for
that road to go through.
That Letter of Credit would begin with the recording of the plat of
subdivision and run for a period of five years. The Letter of Credit
would be participated in by both Trammell Crow and Kimball Hill .
Mr. Johannsen stated that in regard to the residents flood concerns, the
developers would be sensitive to the needs of storm water management
design, the requirements of the Village ordinances as well as the
Metropolitan Sanitary District ordinances and will fully detail and design
the required storm water management. The plans for this project does
include storm water detention although, at this point, it is not fully
detailed.
Mr. Johannsen further stated that as far as traffic is concerned their
plan, as originally put together, has been designed to keep the
neighborhoods intact by the bulk of the Kimball Hill development and the
business park development by having all of the traffic ingress and egress
onto Devon Avenue. There will be a four way intersection at Devon Avenue
with full signalization , which will include left turn lanes etc. , to
enhance the area.
This plan would ultimately allow Park Boulevard to be extended to the
north, which the developers feel will develop, in a matter of time, as
something other than what it is now.
Mr. David Hill , President of Kimball Hill , Inc. , addressed the Board and
reiterated some of the comments made by Mr. Johannsen and also spoke to
the credentials and background of the Kimball Hill Inc.
Lengthy discussion followed between the Board and the developers
concerning the development of the park site, which would cost between
$20,000.00 and $25,000.00 for equipment and landscaping; the 5 year
$253,000.00 Letter of Credit to be drawn upon by the Village, should the
need for a road to connect Devon Avenue to Biesterfield Road become
necessary; submission of engineering plans; Army Corps of Engineers
requirements; size of the proposed detention areas; size of park site;
the time schedule in the completion of the project; whereupon it was noted
that there would be a need for an amendment to the Annexation Agreement,
should the Board decide to approve this project and the preliminary plans.
Mr. Hill consented to increase the park site from .98 acres to at least
1.2 acres and that the cash donation, in lieu of land donation, would be
in an amount equal to 3.56 acres of land.
Mr. Hill also consented that the Letter of Credit would become effective
to coincide with the issuance of the first occupancy permit.
It was moved by Trustee Gallitano and seconded by Trustee Hauser that the
Board accept the Planned Unit Development of Kimball Hill Inc. , with the
following stipulations:
1. That the Village be provided with a one
year roll over Letter of Credit for a
five year period based upon the first
date of occupancy and in the amount of
not less than $253,000.00 and no greater
than $290,000.00 to be agreed upon between
Staff and Kimball Hill Inc.
- 8 - 12-13-88
2. Cash in lieu of a donation of 3.56 acres.
3. That a central park site, at least 1.2 acres,
be provided with the developer using his best
efforts to increase that acreage without any
set off or subtraction from the cash in lieu
of a donation based on a 3.56 acre and also
to direct the Village Attorney to make the
appropriate amendments to the Annexation
Agreement to reflect this formal adoption
of the Plan Unit Development and such other
documentation as may be necessary.
The President directed the Clerk to call the roll on the motion and upon
the roll being called the following answered AYE: Trustees Gallitano,
Hauser, Petri , Tosto, Bosslet, Chernick; NAY: none; ABSENT: none;
whereupon the President declared the motion carried.
It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Tosto that the
meeting be adjourned. The motion was voted upon by acclamation; whereupon
the President declared the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at
11:46 p.m.
