Docket 83-4: Petition of the First Arlington Bank for the
annexation and rezoning of a 10.22 acre parcel
at the southeast corner of Meacham and Biester-
field Roads from R-5 (Cook County Zoning Ordinance)
to A-2 Special Use and B-3 Automotive Oriented
Business District in the Village of Elk Grove Village.
(Public Hearing held 4-20-83)
Charles Byrum, Attorney, and Tony Ryan, Architect, for the Meacham 1
Venture were on hand to explain changes made on the site plan submitted
and dated May 17, 1983. Those changes included: movement of a commercial
building 20 feet north; indication of a 15 foot separation between
residential buildings and all paved areas; increased separation of
driveways entering onto Biesterfield Road from 4 feet to 30 feet;
indication that 60 feet of right-of-way will be dedicated to Cook
County on Meacham Road; and additional notes regarding dimension and
depth of a detention pond to meet Metropolitan Sanitary District
requirements. Ryan indicated that open space calculations, although
not indicated on the plan, are available and would be added to the plan.
In closing, Byrum noted that the property owner to the south of
this parcel (a Mr. Schriner) had indicated to him that he would have
no problem accepting a commercial building setback from his property of
just 30 feet.
Glass began comments on the plan by expressing concern over the
18 foot isle width on the south edge of the commercial parcel .
Rettenbacher observed that the isle width would have to be 24 feet if
parking was to be at 900 angles. However, an isle width of 15 feet

could be acceptable if parking were at 600 angles and traffic was
directed one way. Rettenbacher also commented that no loading space
was provided for the second commercial building and that two parking
spaces may be lost along Biesterfield Road to provide for proper,
line of site. In addition, no screening between residential and
commercial properties was indicated on the plan.
Mullen stated that he could not recommend acceptance of the
excessive variations noted on the plan to the Village Board. Many
of the variations (e.g. : reduced side yards, reduced open space,
increased dwelling units and bedrooms) attack the very heart of the
Elk Grove Village zoning Ordinance. Mullen would recommend B-3 and
A-2 zoning for the ten acre parcel but did not consider the variations
to be good planning. Paliganoff, Fulton, Geinosky and Cummins all
voiced agreement with Mullen's statement. Glass voiced agreement
with Mullen's statement with one acception: that being consideration
of accepting the Biesterfield Road right-of-way dedication in lieu
of a ten percent land donation.
Byrum indicated that the land will be extremely difficult to
develop given that a 50 foot right-of-way for Biesterfield Road must
be dedicated. He reiterated that his clients must have the variations
to make the parcel feasible and attractive to sell .
Mullen moved to deny the requested variations with the exception
of accepting the Biesterfield Road right-of-way dedication in lieu
of a ten percent land donation. In addition, to recommend that B-3
and A-2 Special Use zoning classifications would be acceptable for the
ten acre parcel . The motion was seconded by Cummins, whereupon the
Plan Commission voted as follows: AYE: Paliganoff, Fulton, Geinosky,
Mullen, Glass, Cummins; NAY: none; ABSENT: Stangeland. Glass directed
that a recommendation be forwarded to the Village Board.
Gullo International Contemporary Park Subdivision
(6.33 acres, 11 lots, northeast corner of
Lively Boulevard and Landmeier Road)
Cummins indicated that no recommendation could be forthcoming
from the Plan Commission until a natural resource opinion from the
North Cook County Soil & Water Conservation District was received.
Mr. Gullo stated he could procure such a report for the next meeting.
Glass directed that the plat of subdivision be placed on the June 1,
1983 meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
P. Wildenberg
