Strawberry Hill Plaza
Alan Rosenzweig stated that the property line for Strawberry Hill
Plaza was moved ten feet due to an engineering technicality. The trash
yard would interfere with the easement without the change. Because the
plat of resubdivision had previously been approved, he was submitting a
revised plat of resubdivision.
• Rosenzweig stated that the special location plan has also been
revised. The actual property line is on an angle but the special
location plan is drawn with right angle corners. Tom Rettenbacher

• Strawberry Ai11 Plaza (continued)
explained that the dimensions of the property do not agree with the
dimensions shown on the plan. Rosenzweig stated that it is not
possible to draw the plan as the property exists. Rettenbacher
pointed out that the parking at the plaza must be designed exactly
as it is shown on the special location plan. The difference in the
property dimensions could create problems when the plaza is built'.
Leah Cummins recommended that the Village Engineer review the
property line discrepancy. Fred Geinosky agreed that the Village
Engineer should review the plan. Cummins said she was uncomfortable
about giving approval to the special location plan due to the
Building Commissioner's concerns. The Plan Commission decided to
wait for the Village Engineer's review.
(8:36 p.m. , John Glass arrives. )
Following further discussion, Orrin Stangeland made a motion
to recommend approval of the revised plat of resubdivision. George
Mullen seconded the motion. The vote for approval was, as follows:
six in favor, none against, one abstention (Chairman Glass).
Congregate Housing
The Plan Commission continued the review of the proposed congregate
• housing licensing ordidnance.
Karen Wirth stated that the Housing Commission was in favor of
using the bonus point system to determine density requirements. Pat
McHale said that the system would be too difficult to enforce.
Several Plan Commissioners stated that they were against the use of
the bonus point system. Tom Rettenbacher pointed out that this was
a licensing ordinance not a zoning ordinance and that the bonus point
system was a zoning issue.
Jim Sunagel raised a concern that the alarm system in the
residents' rooms should be monitored in a central location on site.
The person monitoring the system should be trained to handle the
emergency situations.
(10:15 p.m. , 5 minute recess. )
Pat McHale presented a job description for a social worker from
the State of Illinois to the Plan Commission. The Board of Health
and the Plan Commission agreed that a certified social worker should
be a requirement for senior congregate housing developments.
Following extended discussion, Leah Cummins made a motion tol
recommend approval of the draft of the licensing ordinance to the '
Village Board, and Dave Paligancff seconded it. The vote for
approval passed unanimously.
John Glass stated that the text amendment for senior congregate
housing and rezoning for the Huntington Square property would be 1
discussed in a special meeting to be held on April 9, 1986. He asked
• Huntington Square to submit a revised draft of the text amendment:
