ANNEXATION MINUTES ELK GROVE VILLAGE PLAN COMMISSION April 25, 1977 The regular meeting of the Plan Commission was called to order by Chairman Shannon at 8:15 p.m. on Monday, April 25, 1977 in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Municipal Building, 901 Wellington Avenue. MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: William Shannon, Chm. Edward Hauser Leah Cummins John Glass STAFF PRESENT: Thomas Hamilton Richard Finn, Stanley Klyber (8:42 p.m.) Administrative Intern William Wesley Lancer Corporation Preliminary Annexation Mr. Hunter was present at the meeting to represent the Lancer Corporation. Hamilton asked Hunter what Lancer proposed to do with the watershed. Hunter replied that the dry detention system would drain into Meacham Creek and Salt Creek. Hamilton stated that to his knowledge there were legal implications to this question and Mr. Hunter should consult his attorney. Hamilton further stated that the problem he was referring to was whether it is legally correct to drain the watershed into Meacham Creek and Salt Creek, or should the water be diverted solely into Salt Creek. The next issue that Hamilton discussed pertained to the vacation of Devon Avenue. Shannon noted that the Lancer preliminary plat identified two vacation document numbers but these documents were not related to the vacation that was in question. Shannon continued by stating that Mr. Hunter should address this problem and have a plat of vacation prepared for the Devon right of way. Another problem that Shannon addressed related to the poor soil quality in a few of the subdivision lots . Shannon sited the North Cook County Soil and Water Conservation Report as his source of information. Mr. Hunter stated that the Lancer Corporation had con- fronted this problem in similar developments and that it was the company's practice to remove the poor soil and replace it with a high grade of soil . A third issue that Cummins directed to Hunter pertained to one of the circle lanes off John Haar Circle. She noted that the fourth circle inlet off John Haar Circle was not named. Hunter had no explanation of why this had occurred. Shannon suggested that the Fire Department be consulted to see if it was necessary to have a separate name for the circle in question. The proper amount of right-of-way on Meacham Road was the next issue that Shannon identified. Shannon concluded that the Engineering Department would be suited to determine the proper right-of-way and this issue should be addressed to the Village Engineer. Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - April 25, 1977 Hamilton stated that he believed that there was a high probability that a traffic problem would develop at the intersection of Roose Lane and Meacham Road. Roose Lane would be the only access road into the subdivision and this would lead to a high usage of the intersection- during the peak hours . Shannon agreed that this was a difficult problem and he wanted it resolved before the Plan Commission voted on the approval of the preliminary annexation agreement. More specifically, Shannon stated that the ingress-egress onto Meacham Road should be carefully analyzed. Cummins asked Hunter who was going to build in the subdivision. Hunter stated that Lancer Corporation would develop the land; however, they were planning to employ a private builder once the land was developed. Hunter concluded by stating that he was not at liberty to give the name of the builder. However, he did state that the builder would construct models similar to those of the Lancer Corporation. Elk Grove Industrial Park Unit No. 15 Shannon expressed concern about the right-of-way for the Elgin- O'Hare Expressway. He suggested that the Elgin-O'Hare master plan be examined. Cummins made a motion to recommend approval of Unit No. 15. Klyber seconded the motion.
