MEMBERS PRESENT: STAFF PRESENT: W. Shannon, C.A. Willis , Chm. Pro Tem Village Manager A. Krasnow G.E. Parrin, E. Hauser Administrative Assistant W. Jacobsen T. Rettenbacher, S. Klyber Building Commissioner L. Cummins D. Ciaglia, Director of MEMBERS ABSENT: Public Works/Engineering W. Wesley T. Hamilton Elk Grove Town Estates The subdivision plat for Elk Grove Town Estates was submitted to the Building Commission for review and comment. The Commissioner noted that : 1 . Easement notations should state that they will be underground. 2. Lot 3 should be verified that it meets the 60' front easement. 3. Side yard and rear yard setback lines should not be designated at this time. Placement of the buildings will determine their designation. The developer replied to the third comment by the Building Commissioner by stating that the side yard and rear yard setbacks were shown to aid the Engineering Department in determining necessary easements . Shannon asked the Village Engineer to inform the Commission on the possible solution to the sewage backup problems. Ciaglia felt that if sewage from the development could be detained during wet weather and released into the existing system during dry weather, there would be no adverse effect on the Wildwood-Shadywood area. The developer noted that he would retain whatever amount the Village requests . Jacobsen asked Ciaglia the amount which should be contained during wet weather. Ciaglia answered that a holding facility should be able to retain three days of sewage. The developers are contemplating the use of one tank to service the 36 townhouse units . The design will be submitted to the Engineer for approval . Hauser asked Ciaglia if he foresees any problems. Ciaglia replied that the developer must first obtain E.P.A. and M.S.D. permits. Their approval should mean that the holding tank proposed is workable. t E.G.V. Plan Commission - 2 - June 28, 1976 Odor problems and pumping the sewage out of the tank would be some of the problems , but the Engineer felt that these could be overcome. Willis added that it is a highly optimistic view that the O'Hare Treatment Plant will be operational by 1979. He felt that a more realistic completion time is in 1981 . Arvidson Arvidson's Engineer said that he met with Ciaglia who informed him that the developer would have to store all sewage during wet weather flows , including their average daily sewage. Arvidson inter- jected that he will detain whatever amount of sewage the Engineer determines . Hauser mentioned that water is also a concern. Willis answered by stating that the sprinkling ban is in force and will remain to alleviate water shortage problems. In addition, the construction of additional wells will enable the Village to continue supplying sufficient water. Hauser asked Willis if the sprinkling ban will cure our water shortage occurences. Willis stated that the total sprinkling ban should save 340,000 gallons per day. Alleviation of the problem depends on how the public reacts to the sprinkling ban and how they face low water pressure situations . Willis added that the Village has sufficient water to meet the needs for human consumption and industrial use and future development. Shannon queried if additional efforts are being pursued. Willis answered that the Village, through SHARE + 3, is cooperating with seven other municipalities to obtain Lake Michigan water through the City of Chicago. SHARE + 3 is developing preliminary engineering and financing plans . Water shortages will persist until the Village is given an allocation of Lake Michigan water. Willis also added that sanitary sewage backup is not totally a Village problem. It is an M.S.D. problem they' re trying to solve, but for ten years Des Plaines has kept the building of a treatment plant from occurring. Hauser said that the Commission's concern was not to magnify the problem in Section 1-E. Willis said any development will add to the problem. The practical solution was presented - hold the sewage during wet weather. Duane Dial , a resident on Berkenshire, asked what will occur with smell . Arvidson's Engineer said that the tank will be properly vented and the tank is to be cleaned after each usage during wet flows. Mr. Dial also asked about storm water runoff. The reply was that they will retain all water which presently occurs naturally on the property. Ciaglia added that the flood ordinance requirements will effectively regulate storm water on the Arvidson property. Tom O' Brien, 1270 Berkenshire, asked the type of provisions which will be followed to make the lake areas safe, particularly since one of the lakes comes close to his property. Arvidson's Engineer said that the high water mark will be 35-40 feet from his property line. The lake is designed with a 46' wide safety slope below the surface E.G.V. Plan Commission - 3 - June 28, 1976 of the water and three horizontal to one vertical design slope. Depth requirements and water flow will keep the water from becoming stagnant, added Ciaglia. Cummins mentioned that the North Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District report, which states the proposal should be denied and examined as a potential water retention site, need not be followed since the Village has soil and erosion control regulations of its own. Cummins moved to approve the Arvidson Silver Streams proposal provided that a holding tank with a three-day capacity be utilized and said tank meets with the approval of the Village Engineer. Krasnow seconded the motion. Those voting 'AYE' : Cummins , Klyber, Krasnow, Jacobsen; 'NAY' : Hauser. The special use permit was approved . Elk Grove Town Estates Klyber moved to approve the Elk Grove Estates Townhouse tentative -plat of subdivision provided that a holdin4^� constructed which holds three days of sewage and meets the approval of the Village Engineer. Krasnow seconded the motion. Those voting 'AYE' : Jacobsen, Klyber, Krasnow, Cummins ; 'NAY' : Hauser. The tentative plat was approved. Plat of Vacation of Easement on Tonne Road The Village Engineer reported to the Commission, in reply to their inquiry from the June 14, 1976 Plan Commission meeting, that the easement is not necessary and presently has no utilities in it. Klyber moved to approve the plat of vacation. Cummins seconded. All present voted 'AYE' . Centex Industrial Park Unit No. 203 Approval of the above plat of vacation was necessary to subdivide the property. Krasnow moved to approve the subdivision. Cummins seconded. All present voted 'AYE' . Higgins Industrial Park Unit No. 176 The Village's flood plain ordinance adequately provides for retention. Klyber moved to approve Higgins Industrial Park Unit No. 176, Krasnow seconded. Those voting 'AYE' : Klyber, Krasnow; 'NAY' : Jacobsen, Hauser, Cummins , Shannon. Shannon's denial was based on the lack of compensatory storage. Winkle's Resubdivision The resubdivision would be for property located at the northeast corner of Oakwood Drive and Arlington Heights Road. Three lots were shown with two being 6,600 square feet and one is 7,700 E.G.V. Plan Commission - 4 - June 28, 1976 square feet. Winkle mentioned that the lots meet and surpasses the 6,500 square foot lot size which was in effect when that section of the Village was constructed. Rettenbacher suggested that the Village Attorney be asked to determine if the old zoning ordinance requirements of 6,500 square foot lots is applicable or if the lots must meet the 7,500 square foot requirements of Ordinance No. 842. Klyber moved to TABLE consideration of the resubdivision in order to ask the Village Attorney if the lot size applicable to the property follows the old zoning requirements or the new zoning ordinance which provides for a minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet. Krasnow seconded the motion. All present voted 'AYE' . Centex Industrial Park Unit No. 204 Cummins moved to approve Unit No. 204. Hauser seconded the motion. All present voted 'AYE' . Centex Industrial Park Unit Nos. 205 s 206 Calkins informed the Commission that a resubdivision would be needed for both units. He will submit new subdivision plats to the Village. Higgins Industrial Park Unit No. 177 This property also requires a resubdivision. The lot does not meet the minimum lot size. A new plat will be submitted by the developer. Elks Lodge Special Use Permit The Elks submitted a letter from the Robertshaw Controls Company (190 Gorden Street) which gave permission to the Elks for use of their parking lot. Cummins moved to approve the permit. Jacobsen seconded. All present voted 'AYE' . Epstein's Resubdivision Easements were shown on the plat for egress and ingress for public and private use. Klyber moved to approve the plat reflecting the easement. Cummins seconded the motion. Hauser questioned if headlights will effect oncoming cars on Landmeier Road. Rettenbacher replied that we could require some kind of screening should there be a problem. All present voted ''AYE' . E.G.V.
