MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: William Shannon Leah Cummins Edward Hauser Alvin Krasnow Thomas Hamilton STAFF PRESENT: Warren Jacobson Thomas Rettenbacher, Stan Klyber William Wesley (8:30 p.m.) Building Commissioner Robert Mullen, Administrative Intern New Business Notification of Public Hearings were as follows : A. DuPage County Board of Appeals on March 18, 1976 concerning a radio tower to be built between Busse Road and Elmhurst Road, west of Ellis Street and south of Devon Avenue. B. Cook County Hearing on March 12, 1976 concerning the application for industrial zoning of a 9 acre small industrial center belonging to John Gullo. This property is located north of Oakton and west of Higgins . Hamilton moved that Gullo be notified to either annex to Elk Grove Village , or risk opposition from the Plan Commission for County industrial zoning. Hauser seconded. All but Klyber voted "Aye". A letter from the law firm of Gaines, Boyer, and Shepp was intro- duced petitioning the Plan Commission to extend the 5 year annexation privileges given to the Triton Industrial Park on June 10, 1969. The Triton Industrial Park is seeking a five year extension period to complete the development of Parcel 5 as cited in Resolution 58-69 passed May 20, 1969. Mr. Shannon instructed the Administrative Intern to find out whether this matter was the concern of the Village Board or the Plan Commission. A motion was made by Chairman Shannon to correct the minutes of the February 23, 1976 Plan Commission notes to read "80 units on 12. 1 acres" instead of "80 units on 20 acres" in the section on Rountree Commons . Klyber seconded. All voted "Aye". Arvidson's Silver Streams Mr. Rettenbacher informed the Commission that the drawings submitted by Arvidson did not resemble the final plat in a strong enough manner to warrant Commission action. Shannon recommended that Arvidson be notified of the Commission's desire to have him resubmit detailed drawings . Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - March 8, 1976 Section 22 - Centex Rick Burton, Steve Bilheimer, and Mike Ives were present to discuss the departmental reports of preliminary review. Some of the major problem areas were: - The plan to leave out lots 52 and 53, that Alabama Drive may someday extend to Meacham Road was questioned in the light of a Department of Transporation map showing that the area will be access controlled. - Centex stated that it had corrected its plats to read minimum rear yard easements of 10 feet , and minimum side yards of 7.5 feet. - The Capital Improvement Committee had , according to Bilheimer, accepted the proposed Public Works site. The Commission requested official notification of the decision. - Mullen was instructed to work with Chief Henrici of the Fire Department to ease the possible situation of confusing street names. Discussion should be towards retaining the policy of naming a court after a street and alleviating the problem of residential streets that curve and change names (e.g. Wisconsin - Dakota) . - Centex countered a Police Department argument of Section 22 traffic restricted to one arterial road by naming such roads as northbound Arkansas and Wisconsin for those residents south of Nerge and west of Meacham. Eastbound Virginia was also named as a possible access. - The plat did not show any intended business uses. Hamilton stated that acceptance of the plat would be acceptance of business rezoning, due to the fronting of Meacham and Nerge Road. - The Commission asked Centex to consider the possible task of underground utilities installation. Centex felt that Commonwealth Edison should be contacted. - A discussion of the confusion stemming from Centex's use of (1 ) "net and gross" area figures , (2) plat markings of ' Proposed IAV,', and (3) use of total average lot size figures resulted in Centex's assurance that the indicated R.O.W. would in fact be dedicated and closer inspection of actual numbers of homes with "average lot size" or greater. Section 22 - Park Site Ed Hauser reported to the Plan Commission on the progress of negotiations between the Park District and Centex concerning park sites . Centex's proposed sites were rejected by the Park District on the basis of possible Biesterfield Road extension, and the fact that it extended beyond Section 22. Sites proposed by the Park District, as indicated by Hauser on the Vale Tract, were rejected by Centex. The two groups are to meet again. Hamilton suggested that the best site would be on Meacham Road due to the factors of easy access and distance from the Schaumburg Park District. It was recommended that a special meeting was needed on March 16th at 8:00 p.m. to continue discussion. Plan Commission Minutes - 3 - March 8, 1976 Rountree Commons Bill Lawrence, F. Columbia , J. Gagliano, Rick Wolchuck, Sam La Susa and (mow Storino were present to discuss their response to the Commission' s comments of February 23, 1976. The Commission questioned the request for approval for a 94 unit plan considering the request before the Village Board for 90 units and the record of the Plan Commission, showing 80 units. The Commission felt that these problems were connected with the overall density of 94 units : - Soil borings needed to test conditions for building near the retention pond. - Residents from units next to Home Avenue backing into the street. - Increased "visual congestion" due to the 14 unit increase. William Wesley moved that the Commission recommend to the Village Board to deny the proposed expansion to 94 units proposed by the developers based on a review of the plat. Klyber seconded. All voted "Aye" The meeting adjourned at 11 :56 p.m. 6ob mit ted by, ert E.
