Hollanders 2nd Resubdivision
Richard Hollander was present to speak on behalf of his request for a
two lot resubdivision of property located approximately 178 feet south
of the southeast corner of Pratt Boulevard and Busse Road. Hollander
stated that he hoped to build a restaurant on "Lot 1", and had not yet
decided exactly what use would be made of "Lot 2". He added that the
35 foot wide strip of land on the southwestern portion of "Lot 2" would
serve to provide access to Busse Road.
Kenna noted that the Plat had been reviewed and approved by both
the Engineering and Building Departments.
Mullen moved to recommend approval of the Plat. Cummins seconded
the motion. All present voted 'AYE' .
Regency Square Landscaping Plan
Robert Brodly and Martin Gaughan were present to represent the developers
of the Regency Square Phase 2 project. Brodly related that he had
submitted a proposed landscaping and screening plan to the operating
departments for their review. Feller reported that a final staff review
had not been completed, but that a preliminary review had indicated that
the Plan was deficient in several areas.
Glass stated that the plan was not ready to be brought to the Plan
Commission, and that it should be returned to the developer for further
refinement. Brodly asked what specific aspects of the plan were not
acceptable. Kenna responded that the plan must meet with the approval
of the operating departments and also place greater emphasis on
screening the property from the single family dwellings located to
the west of the project. Kenna added that the screening material
should be effective throughout the year and at least six feet in height.
Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - October 3, 1979
Regency Square Landscaping Plan (continued)
Brodly declared that he would repeat the Plan Commission's comments
to his landscape architect, and would submit a revised plan to the
Village staff for their review.
Comprehensive Master Plan
Village Trustees Nanci L. Vanderweel and James P. Petri were present
as members of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee. Vanderweel
began by stating that Trustee Staddler was unable to attend the meeting,
but had expressed to her some concerns about the proposals which were
received to update the Comprehensive Plan. She related that Staddler
was concerned that the proposals were overstated; particularly those
sections dealing with transportation, schools, parks, and the census.
Vanderweel added that she agreed with Staddler's assessment of the
proposals.
Vanderweel noted that the request for proposals was purposely
written so that it would give the consultants an opportunity to tell
the village what should be included in the Comprehensive Plan. In
Vanderweel's opinion, this approach had proved unsuccessful.
Kenna concurred with Vanderweel's comments, and suggested that
the Village change its approach by specifically stating what sections
of the plan need updating.
Cummins suggested that the consultants may have tried to put
together a $70,000 proposal; inasmuch as the amount that is budgeted
for the work is common knowledge.
Petri commented that the consultants had submitted a wide range
of estimated man hours to complete tasks that seem to be similar. He
emphasized that during the second attempt to secure proposals, the
Village should be very specific in stating what work steps need to
be completed.
The group consensus was to instruct staff to conduct a search of
existing Village maps and studies to determine the types of material
that are already available within the community. The types of studies
that would be particularly relevant are:
(1) Land use map of Elk Grove Village and environs.
(2) Thoroughfare studies and traffic volume analysis.
(3) Utility location and resources map.
(4) Natural features map of soil, drainage, and contours.
(5) School and Park District plans.
(6) Proposed church properties.
(7) Plans for re-using existing uses (i.e. schools) .
Once staff has completed the search, the JPZ Committee and Plan
Commission will meet to obtain a consensus as to what items need to be
studied by the consultants.
The meeting adjourned at 10:20 p.m. .
