MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: William Shannon, Chm. Pro Tem Alvin Krasnow William Wesley Stanley Klyber Edward Hauser Warren Jacobsen Thomas Hamilton Leah Cummins Also in attendance were Messrs. Thomas Rettenbacher and Bob Callahan; petitioners and interested citizens. Centex Section 22 North As a first order of business , the Commission considered Centex Section 22 North. They compared the final linen to an earlier plat, and noted that the checklist was approved by the various Village departments . This section comprises 158 lots . It was noted that the pattern of naming streets appeared confusing, and would certainly present a dilemma to persons unfamiliar with the area. It was moved by Hauser and seconded by Jacobson that the final be recommended for approval to the Village Board. All present voted "aye". Re-Mi Foods, Inc. The materials submitted by Polytechnic, Inc. , as well as Charles Willis ' letter of September 24th, were discussed by the Commission. Mr. Foster, Attorney for Re-Mi Foods , Inc. , was present to answer questions . Water availability was of particular concern to Plan Commission members . Mr. Foster said, -. .". .energy and water sources are a concern to us every day of our lives. We've heard about the proposal to bring Lake Michigan water into the Village in the future, and that gives us confidence that our water requirements will be met." He went on to say that, "We picked Elk Grove because you have O'Hare Field close by; you are in the Chicago Freight District; there's rail at this site; there are good industrial neighbors ;" all of this portends a good future. He said that Re-Mi Foods, Inc. had con- sidered relocating in a given 35-mile area, which was narrowed down to seven. Anyplace with the 35-mile range would present the same water availability problem to them. Although it was noted that the Director of Public Works advised that Re-Mi 's 8,000,000 gallon annual water consumption could be provided "with very little effect on our system",' Mr. Foster did give us assurance that Re-Mi is working to recycle water to reduce that rate to something less . Plan Commission members have, .w. Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - September 27, 1976 and continue to be, very sensitive to the water crisis, as well as to the availability of energy, as both impact mightily on the planning process . It was moved by Hamilton and seconded by Cummins that Text Amendment proposed for Section 5.81 , Paragraph A, Group 2096 be approved. All present voted "aye". Elk Grove Estates Townhome Condominium Parcel C Association - Additional Parking With respect to the request for additional parking spaces on Pahl Drive, on advice of Mr. Rettenbacher that this request does not violate the 50% open space required for the Planned Unit Development, it was considered that no public hearing need be held. However, it was made clear that there must be conformance to the 10 x 20' parking space required by ordinance. After the spaces have been installed, the plat is to be prepared by the surveyor. Hamilton moved the fore- going in the form of a motion to recommend to the Village Board. It was seconded by Hauser and all present voted "aye". Docket 76-6: Text Amendment to Ordinance #842 relating to Antennae The Text Amendment to Ordinance #842 relating to Antennae was discussed again. Additional research is being conducted so that a new recommendation may be brought before the Plan Commission. Generally, the Plan Commission members expressed increasing concern for the visual pollution that antennae and towers are creating. Other Villagers , including Mead Killion, have contacted Plan Commission members to express the same distaste for the problems CB's have created. .4 At 10: 10 P.M. , the meeting was adjourned.
