Chairman Glass reiterated the petitioner's request for rezoning
from R-3 to B-2, A-2 and O-T. He explained to the audience that the
Plan Commission is a volunteer advisory body made up of Village
residents who make recommendations to the Village Board.
A number of residents of the neighborhoods nearby the Crow-
Chasewood property expressed concerns about the development. The
residents expressed concerns regarding: water restrictions, traffic
congestion and related problems, problems relating to singles' apart-
ments, too many renters, Indian artifacts on the property, drunk
drivers, safety of school children, overabundance of apartment units,
health problems created by the restaurants, and the developer's
vagueness regarding the.office buildings. Residents also stated

that they would prefer to have single family homes developed on
the property and that Beisner Road should not be put through.
9:20 p.m. : 15 minute recess.
Representatives of Crow-Chasewood addressed the residents'
questions. Dave Miller explained the need for Beisner Road exten-
sion to alleviate excess traffic in residential areas. Beisner
Road would be designed as a collector street and take the bulk
traffic.
Bruce White stated that Crow-Chasewood owned the property
outright without any contingencies. He described the proposed
development, stating that the three-story apartment buildings would
be 35 feet high, including the pitched roofs. He also stated that
the midrise building would not exceed 60 feet in height and office
buildings would be six stories or up to 90 feet tall. The use of
taller buildings would draw the density away from the perimeter
of the parcel. He further noted that the net tax revenue of the
development to the village and other taxing bodies would be $8,480,000.
Chris Carley stated that the benefits of the proposed development
will be the homes that will be provided for people who cannot afford
to buy a single family home or people who do not desire to purchase
• a home. The type of people that would lease the apartments would be
young professionals and some older people. The average age of a
similar residential project by Crow-Chasewood in Willowbrook is
33 years old and the average income is $40,000. He stated that
Crow-Chasewood will be around for years to come to maintain the
property.
Bruce White addressed the staff comments regarding the property.
Adequate water and sewer service is available. He mentioned that
the roadway details were under discussion with the Village staff.
The staff wants both Wellington Avenue and Beisner Road to be
through streets. Further discussion of specific staff comments
followed.
Fred Geinosky asked if the developer had done a study to
determine the need for the two office buildings. Pat McKillian
responded that the office space at Hamilton rakes in Itasca is
90% leased. He said that along I-290 would be a good location for
corporate headquarters. The Canon building in Hamilton rakes would
be a good example. Mr. Geinosky requested that the developer
prepare some data on the potential use of the office buildings
and provide it at the next meeting.
Fred Geinosky inquired about the traffic study. Mr. Miller
explained the method of calculation. Chairman Glass requested
that the developer prepare some traffic statistics that take the
connection of Rohlwing Road with Martingale Road into account
• without figuring in the I-290 interchange at Biesterfield Road.

Fred Geinosky inquired about the type of restaurants that would
go into the development. Mr. Carley responded that the restaurants
would not be fast food ones. He further noted that there are no
current proposals from any restaurants and therefore no details
were known. The restaurants are on 1.8 acre sites.
Mr. Geinosky asked why the developer was requesting a variation
from the requirement of elevators. Bruce White responded that the
cost of including elevators in the same building configuration would
cause the rents to increase beyond a marketable level. The elevators
could be waived by the Fire and Building Departments if appropriate
stairwell designs are incorporated into the building plans.
Following further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 11:00
p.m.
