Docket 79-7: Hollanders Petition for Special Use
Richard Hollander and Don Immekus were present to represent the
petitioner. The petitioner was requesting a Special Use Permit to
construct a Burger King Restaurant, as permitted under the Elk Grove
Village Zoning Ordinance No. 842, Article 5, Zoning Districts, Section
5.85, Special Uses in all Industrial Districts, Paragraph B. The
subject property is located approximately 178 feet south of the south-
east corner of Pratt Boulevard and Busse Road.
Glass repeated his concern expressed at the November 7, 1979 Public
Hearing regarding the potential traffic problems that would be created
as a result of the proximity of the proposed drive-thru lane to the
Sambo's entrance on Busse Road. Immekus responded that he had conducted
traffic studies of the area which indicated that the drive-thru would
not create a traffic problem.
Mullen pointed out that the property is zoned I-2; and that the
alternative use would be an industrial facility which would present
traffic problems as employees arrive to and leave from work.
Mullen moved to recommend approval of the petition. Glass
seconded the motion and all present voted 'AYE' .
Landscaping and Sidewalk Plan for the Portion of
Section 24 Which Abuts Meacham Road
Joe Luciani, Director of Land Development for Centex Homes, was
present to discuss a landscaping and sidewalk plan for Meacham Road in
Section. 24. Luciani stated that he had discussed the Plan Commission's
recommendations with a representative of the Cook County Highway
Department. Luciani reported that the County would be reluctant to
approve the installation of sidewalks along Meacham. Road through the
flood plane area because of the entensive grading adjustments that
would be necessary.
Glass suggested that in lieu of the installation of sidewalks,
Centex provide the Village with the funds required to install the

Landscaping and Sidewalk Plan for the Portion of

sidewalks at such time that Meacham Road is widened. Luciani stated
that he was willing to accept Glass's suggestion.
Luciani agreed to submit a revised landscaping and sidewalk plan
which reflects the changes required by the Plan Commission.
Pre-Application Sketch Plan for Proposed
Landmeier Road Subdivision
Thomas Malato, Tom McCabe, and Dan Foster were present on behalf
of U.S. Development to discuss a Pre-Application Sketch Plan for a
proposed subdivision of 8.43 acres of property located along the north
side of Landmeier Road, approximately 176 feet west of Lively Boulevard.
The property owners chose to follow the Sketch. Plan procedures after
learning that the past position of the village has been that access
to this property should come from an extended Bonnie Lane cul-de-sac,
and that no access would be permitted from Landmeier Road. Basically
the Sketch Plan shows the property being subdivided into eight lots;
with two lots having access to Landmeier Road and the remaining six
lots receiving access through an extended Bonnie Lane cul-de-sac.
Kenna noted that the operating departments reviewed the Sketch
Plan and that the Police Department had expressed opposition to
permitting any access to the property from Landmeier Road.
Malato pointed out that access to Landmeier Road is a valuable
marketing commodity. He asserted that a significant compromise had
already been made on the Sketch Plan by providing that only two of
the eight lots receive access to Landmeier Road. Malato continued
by suggesting that other lots which front Landmeier Road in Elk Grove
Village have received "reasonable access", and that some sort of
compromise should be made to allow access to the subject property.
Kenna remarked .that a suitable alternative might be to extend
Bonnie Lane the entire length of the property to Landmeier Road.
Kenna then directed the petitionercto submit several alternative
Sketch Plans for consideration at the next meeting.
Comprehensive Master Plan
The consensus of the Plan Commission was that the next step in
updating the Comprehensive Plan should be to hire a firm to prepare
an Existing Land Use Inventory Map of Elk Grove Village and its environs.
Schedule of Meetings
The consensus of the Plan Commission was to cancel the regular
meetings scheduled for December 19, 1979 and January 2, 1980; and to
schedule a new meeting for Wednesday, January 9, 1980 at 8:00 p.m.
in the Municipal Building. The next regular meeting of the Plan
Commission will be held on December 5, 1979.
