As the first order of business , Chairman Pro Tem Shannon read a letter dated October 25, 1976 from John Woods , Secretary to the Board of Directors of the Elk Grove Estates Homeowners ' Association. The letter was addressed to Mr. Shannon, and its context was a request that the matter of the Administration Building to be constructed on the Planned Unit Development property, be held in abeyance pending further notice. Mr. Shannon invited the people in the audience to stay through the public hearing, for a discussion of the Administration Building. He also congratulated them for their interest in the Plan Commission's transactions, and mentioned that they could pursue that interest, if they cared to, by applying for one of the vacancies on the Commission. 2. At 8: 15 P.M. Mr. Shannon and the Plan Commissioners , sitting as a Zoning Board, conducted a public hearing on a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance #842, permitting coin operated amusement devices and centers to be established in B-1 , B-2 and B-3 zoned districts . A full transcript of this hearing is on file in the Village Clerk's office, and is identified as Docket No. 76-9. 3• At 9:50 P.M. , the Plan Commission reconvened for a continuation of its regular meeting. Mr. Dan Smyczyns-kipresented himself as spokesman for the Walter and Charles Avenues homeowners . Inasmuch as Mr. Smyczynski requested that he be invited to future meetings in which the proposed Administration Building is discussed by the Lake Estates Homeowners or the Plan Commission, his address is being recorded here, for that purpose. 316 Walter Avenue, Elk Grove Village. Home phone: 437-3722; office phone: 992-1222. For the ensuing hour and ten minutes, the Plan Commission listened to, and discussed with the audience, all the near and far-reaching concerns they had with regard to the proposed building and parking lot. Property value depreciation, aesthetic impact, safety, privacy invasion, unauthorized congregation, crime potential hazzards were the major concerns of the homeowners. Mr. Shannon said that we represent the interest of all of the residents in the Village, and that we would take another intensive look at the location of the proposed building, and possibly come up with a decision that differs from our last one - which was made without the benefit of the input we received this night. P17 0 A 'gentleman in the audience, finally, indicated he had information that the Lake Estates Homeowners were contemplating using a condominium in Village on the Lake, for their administrative office purposes . This appeared to everyone to be a very fine solution to the problem. 4. Rohlwing Grove Unit No. 3 - Lot No. 1 This section matches one of the building phases of the development. It was explained that there presently exists some controversy between the present owner and the farmer to the immediate north of the subject property. In a strip which is approximately 68' wide on the west side and approximately 48' wide on the east side of the land that extends from Rohlwing Road (Route 53) 1-90, the deed line is being contested. The farmer claims to have farmed this strip for many years, and is reluctant to yield his occupancy to the developer. The matter is in process of a declaratory judgement of the courts . Pending the outcome, the Plan Commission's- recommenda- tion to the Village Board will be held in abeyance. Finding the plat, in other respects , to be conforming, it was moved by Cummins , and seconded by Hamilton, that the Plan Commission recommend approval to the Village Board. Voting Aye: Hamilton, Shannon and Cummins . Abstaining was Commissioner Wesley. The meeting was adjourned at 11 :20 P.M.
