Chairman McGrenera opened the meeting by reading Mr. Ted
Pecora's letter stating his intent to withdraw his petition for Office
and Transitional zoning. His plans are to annex the property as 1-1 ,
which is consistent with the official plan. Mr. Pecora will present
the Village Board with a pre-annexation agreement and will submit to
the Plan Commission his plat of subdivision (2 lots) for approval .
Chairman McGrenera then distributed to the Commissioners a
list of items that the developer of the Vale Tract should consider
prior to coming before the Commission. The list was compiled by the
Planning Consultant.
Commissioner Cummins stated that a market analysis would
also be helpful because of the size of the property.
Higgins Industrial Park Unit No. 160
Chairman McGrenera relayed to the Commissioners the outcome
of a meeting he had with the Village Engineer. The Engineer guaranteed
McGrenera that the Flood Plain Ordinance will be followed. Other informa-
tion than that must wait until the developer submits drawings . The
developer has only submitted a plat of subdivision.
Commissioners Cummins and Cimino desired to know what beyond
the Flood Plain Ordinance must be required of the developer. In
addition, they wish to know if compensatory storage is required.
Chairman McGrenera will request the Engineer to attend the Thursday,
November 7 Plan Commission meeting to answer questions .
Bonavolonta
Anthony Bonavolonta was present to hear the staff reports in
regard to his revised site plan. The discussion led to the following
suggestions :
1 . Make the northern-most driveway onto Nerge Road
(Section 1) an emergency exit. The exit should be
12 feet wide with a chain across it . To reconcile
for the loss of an exit onto Nerge Road, a driveway
should be added to connect the parking lot to the
"Private Drive''
2. The Engineer recommends that the right-of-way should be
a minimum of 72 feet . Cimino and Wesley said the
right-of-way should be 100 feet, which would make it
the same as Nerge Road west of Rohlwing Road. Nerge
Road should be treated as a major arterial through
the proposed development.
3• Mr. Bonavolonta informed the Plan Commission that there
is going to be another proposed access route to the
donated property besides the easement. He anticipates
that a cul-de-sac will be placed in Section 4, which
will give further access to the donated property.
4. The Commissioners agreed that the "Private Drive" should
be flared onto Nerge Road in order to increase safety
and reduce congestion at that exit onto Nerge Road.
Chairman McGrenera told his fellow Commissioners that he
discussed retention ponds with Commissioner Hamilton. They both concurred
that retention ponds should be built using the most up-to-date technology
and require a minimum of maintenance. A seminar is being considered on
retention pond development.
Mr. Bonavolonta was told that Tod Trayser will attend the
November 7 Plan Commission meeting to present his comments on the
revised site plan.
Paul Fuchs , Chairman of the Citizens of Elk Grove opposed to
Devon-53, asked Chairman McGrenera if objections that were brought
forth at the Public Hearing will be considered by the Commission. McGrenera
assured Mr. Fuchs that they will be of major concern to the Commission.
The meeting adjourned at 10:35 P.M.
