Public Hearing - Docket 84-9: Petition for Special Use
Centex Section 23B, Resubdivision 3
Testimony on behalf of Centex Homes Midwest, Inc. was presented by:
Fred Feinstein, an attorney for Centex; Gerry Harker, President of Centex;
Joe Luciani, Vice-President of Centex; and Paul Ulatowski, an Engineer
with Henderson and Bodwell.
The location discussed is bounded by Plum Grove Road on the West,
Stockbridge Subdivision (23A) and Windemere Subdivision on the East,
residential in Schaumburg on the South, and the Fox Run Golf Course
and Westgate Subdivision (23B, Resubdivisions #1 and #2) on the North.
A Special Use in R-3 zoning is permitted by ordinance. The minimum
lot size is 6,000 square feet and 50% must equal or exceed 7,000 square
feet. The petitioners stated that their plans meet these requirements.
This resubdivision will include 249 units which will bring the total
units in 23B to 387 lots. The lots abutting Windemere will be 7,000
square feet. The Windemere lots at that location are 7,500 square feet.
Gerry Harker indicated that no variations were being requested and
emphasized that all unit purchasers in Westgate and Stockbridge were
informed of development plans in the adjacent area. Chairman Glass
noted that three (3) residences on Hudson Court were not given notice
of public hearing despite their proximity to the proposed development.
He requested that staff correct the situation. According to Gerry
Harker, 2.5 acres more than originally planned will be used to buffer
the two product lines (Westgate and Stockbridge) from one another.
Planning statistics were distributed by Fred Feinstein and are
attached to these minutes. A $20,000 annual gross revenue increase
for Elk Grove Village was estimated by the petitioners.
Plan Commission Minutes - 2 - November 14, 1984
Docket 84-9 (continued)
Gerry Harker explained that the street pattern was based on
water detention and suitable ground. Newberry Drive exceeds the
Village requirement for length without access to Plum Grove Road in
an effort to limit access and eliminate a "cut through" for drivers
seeking to get to Meacham Road. Representatives of Centex responded
to review items listed in staff review.
Discussion among Plan Commission Members ensued regarding the
possibility of Biesterfield Road being extended to Plum Grove Road.
Gary Buczkowski of the Elk Grove Park District was present and
explained use of open space in the proposed subdivision. He indicated
that the "small fingers" of land would be difficult for the Park
District to maintain.
The public hearing was adjourned at 11:00 p.m.

Public Hearing - Docket 84-11: Petition for Rezoning
(17 acre parcel on Busse Road)
The petitioners described the surrounding land uses. The President
of Boulevard, Ltd. , James Maros, stated three (3) purposes for the
development: 1) class A dining facilities; 2) a showcase for potential
franchises in other areas of the country; and 3) utilize office space
for corporate headquarters. Van Tomaros, an architect, and William
La Nane also testified. James Maros described the three restaurants
as Main Street - a chicken and ribs restaurant; Off The Avenue - an
Italian restaurant; and Sidestreet - a 24 hour fast-food restaurant.
He further stated that it is his intent to have extensive landscaping,
a tot park, a pool, and a fishing area to encourage patrons to linger.
There will not be any dancing, jukeboxes, live music or cigarette
machines. The office complex would include a training school and
library. William La Nane, President of William La Nane and Company,
a real estate and marketing company, stressed that this site is an
ideal location for the proposed development due to .Northwest area,
high affluence, density, and proximity to major arterial streets.
The preliminary site plan shows 764 parking stalls and the following
building sizes:
Main Street 14,000 square feet
Off The Avenue 14,000 square feet
Side Street 8,000 square feet
Office 10,000 square feet

is estimated at $54,994 in property taxes per year and sales tax of
$105,000 to $140,000 per year plus permit fees.
Traffic studies were distributed by Don O'Hara and are attached to
this report. The peak traffic times due to the restaurants would be
11 a.m. - 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Don O'Hara stated that the current
