SDK Landscape Plan
The Plan Commission continued deliberation of the petition of
Draper and Kramer, Inc. to berm and landscape on Lot 10 of SDK Subdivision
No. 2. A revised landscaping plan that was requested of the petitioner
by the Plan Commission was reviewed.
Fulton remarked that the plan seemed to answer the previous
questions the Plan Commission had concerning the potential height and
breadth of vegetation.
Cummins noted that the revised plan met with the approval of the
Village Engineer and the Foreman of the Land and Forestry Division.
Stangeland recommended that the Plan Commission heretofore have
landscape plans presented to it with vegetation detailed in various
stages of growth from the time of planting through full fruition. The
other Commission members concurred that this should be considered as
a method they could use to better realize the gradual and ultimate
development of specific vegetation.
With discussion of the matter concluded, Mullen motioned to approve
the revised landscaping plan. Fulton seconded the motion. The motion
passed 5-0 (Glass, Geinosky absent) .
The Plan Commission at this point requested that Joe Gdowski,
Foreman, Land and Forestry Division of Public Works, attend the Plan
Commission meeting of September 16, 1981. His presence is requested
for discussion on proper landscape plan review procedure.
Docket 81-7
The Plan Commission then continued to review the petition of
Robert Calkins to rezone the northwest corner of Nerge and Rohlwing
Roads from (R-3) to (B-2) . (The petition to rezone the subject property
was approved on August 5, 1981. On August 19, the Plan Commission
continued discussion of the above item in light of traffic impact
recommendations received from the Elk Grove Village Police Department
subsequent to the August 5 meeting.)
The Plan Commission considered the recommendation of the Police
Department that the proposed driveway on Nerge Road be used for ingress
only and the proposed driveway on Rohlwing be used for egress only.

Docket 81-7 (continued)
A brief discussion of potential traffic congestion and patterns
followed. It was noted that Mr. Calkins (not present) might not be
amenable to such a requirement, but added that the Minutes of August 5,
1981 note his agreement to cooperate with Village traffic control
measures. It was determined that Mr. Calkins could address the
Village Baord of Trustees at a future date should he not concur with
the recommendation.
Mullen suggested including the Police Department recommendation
on the Finding of Fact to be presented to the Village Board and it
was agreed to do so.
The Plan Commission considered a second recommendation of the
Police Department that the Village request the County and State to
reduce speed limits on Nerge Road and Rohlwing Road to 40 miles per hour.
Mullen commented that he felt such matters were for the considera-
tion of law enforcement officials and not germane to the rezoning of
the subject property. Cummins agreed that it was not in the purview
of the Commission to sit as experts on such matters.
The Plan Commission elected not to include the second Police
Department recommendation in the Finding of Fact, but to attach it
as information for the Village Board of Trustees.
The Plan Commission, having already voted to recommend rezoning,
reviewed the wording of the specific recommendations to be made to
the Board.
Item 1: That no twenty-four hour operations or coin-operated amusement
establishments be allowed. (A letter from the prospective
contract purchasers of the property affirming this position
is attached.)
The Commission expressed concern over the possibility of late
night business operations on the subject property. Mullen noted that
the letter from the contract purchasers to be attached to the Finding
of Fact precludes the allowance of "any twenty-four hour type of
operation" on the premises.
It was determined that in the opinion of the Plan Commission,
the inclusion of the word "type" in the letter would suffice in preventing
any operations uncomplimentary to the surroundings of the subject
property.
Approved as worded.
Item 2: That the developer be encouraged to construct a driveway apron
on the Rohlwing Road right-of-way in accordance with Elk Grove
Village recommendations, subject to final Engineering approval
from the State of Illinois, for the purpose of increasing
accessibility of larger Fire Department apparatus to the
property. (A joint recommendation from the Building Commissioner
and Fire Chief is attached.)
Approved as worded.
Item 3: (3) That the off-street loading space as required by Sections
3.97 to 3. 99 of the Elk Grove Village Zoning Ordinance be
located adjacent to the proposed building.
Approved as worded.
Item 4: Directed to be worded in the following manner:
