Discussion - Travenol The President reported that the recommendation
Annexation Agreement. from the Plan Commission regarding the annexa-
tion and zoning classification of the Travenol
(Baxter) property on,Wi]mot Road had not Wet been received, but the commission
would meet Thursday this week. The Village attorney reported that the Annexation
1
i�
1
si
Agreement had been revised to delete "pilot plant and research manufacturing"
and all reference to the Mailfald property. He proposed additional provisions
to preclude the use of Forsythia Drive for ingress and egress, Travenol to
relinquish its right to use Forsythia and execute a covenent running with the
land agA.i.nst such use; he stated the Board may consider the vacation of a small
section at the end of the street to insure that it will not be used for access
to the Travenol property. He also proposed that a paragraph be added stating that
there has been compliance with the Statutes relating to annexation agreements.
Trustee Forrest - questioned the wisdom of discussing the annexation agreement
before the Plan Commission's report is received. Trustee Kelm asked if the
company was willing to maintain the sideyard setback -required by ordinance if
the property to the north is not zoned 0 & R. The attorney for the company stated
the matter had been referred to the architect, but no answer had been received.
Objections- Travenol Mr. J. Turner, 315 Forsythia Drive, presented to
Annexation & Zoning the President a petition signed by abutting property
owners objecting to the annexation and classification
of the Travenol property as an 0 & R Office and Research District. Mr. Don Brewster,
285 Wilmot Road, presented a petition signed by owners of property across Wilmot
Road opposite the Travenol property objecting to the annexation and 0 & R classifi-
cation. A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Albert Moen, 200 Fairview Avenue, objected to
o storm water drainage by open ditches, and stated that storm water from the Travenol
>1J
property would increase flooding problems and would be hazardous to children.
V
V Discussion Travenol Rezoning In connection with the Lake County Zoning Board of
W of Toll Road -No Further Appeals hearing on June`:27,1968 on the petition of
Action Travenol Laboratories to rezone property on the
west side of the Toll Road north of County Line Road,
the Village attorney stated he had reviewed the Resolution adopted by the Board at
the May 20th meeting which opposed the rezoning requested by the original petition,
but indicated approval of an amended petition which would establish 0 & R buffers
as shown on the sketch prepared by Travenol. He advised that the Board can adopt,
a new Resolution in support of the rezoning, but a reversal would be contrary to
provisions of the Code and court decisions which state that any action mdy be
reconsidered only at the same or next succeeding meeting.
Trustee Raff stated that his motion at the May 20th meeting to adopt the
Resolution evidencing support of an amended petition with 0 & R buffer tracts
was made without understanding that the north 575 feet of the tract is presently
zoned residential. Trustee Schleicher pointed out that the Resolution was adopted
as a result of an 11th hour proposal by Travenol, the Board had only a very limited
time to consider the matter, and with a new petition before the Lake County Zoning
Board it would be entirely proper and desirable to reconsider the matter and take
any appropriate action. Trustee Kelm stated he had voted against passage of the
Resolution, but action having been taken, it was his opinion the Board was committed
and could not reverse its decision. Mr. Paul Martin, President of the Village of
Riverwoods, urged the Board to take action to recommend denial of the petitioned
rezoning, and stated the 0 & R buffers proposed by Travenol were inadequate and
would not give Riverwoods the protection they deemed necessary. He stressed the
fact that the compromise approved by the Village of Deerfield would rezone an
additional 575 foot tract of residential property to the 0 & R and LI classifications,
with variations to permit parking and access driveways on the 0 & R buffer strips
in addition to any construction permitted under the 0 & R regulations.
Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Schleicher, that the Board pass a
Resolution making recommendations to the Lake County Zoning Board of Appeals on
the new rezoning petition of Travenol Laboratories. The motion failed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Forrest, Raff, Schleicher (3)
Nays:. Bootz, Craig, Kelm, Finney (4)
The President of Riverwoods, Mr. John Schmidt of the Riverwoods Residents
Association, and Mr. Robert Ward, 370 Castlewood, expressed disappointment that
the Board had not taken action to support the position of Riverwoods to ;oppose..
the compromise rezoning petition which is not benficial to the Village of Riverwoods.
President Finney stated that he had been of the opinion that the compromise was in
line with proposals submitted to the company by Riverwoods, and that the Deerfield
Chamber of Commerce had adopted a Resolution supporting the position taken by the
Deerfield Village Board.
The meeting was recessed at 9:35 p.m. and reconvened at 9:55 p.m., all
members present.

Refer National Tea Discussion was had on the proposal and plot plan
Proposal to Plan Com. submitted by the National Tea Company regarding
the construction of a new store at the Deerfield
Road location near Rosemary Terrace. The new store would require an exchange
of property with the Village and the granting of-a variation from.yard requirements
for abutting residential property. The company offered to contribute money to
a parking fund for the acquisition of other land for parking to make up deficiencies
in parking requirements for the proposed store. The legality of an exchange of
property and the establishment of a parking fund was questioned. It was the
opinion of the Village attorney that a parking fund was legal but the Board should
consider the establishment of a policy as to what percentage of parking must be
provided by a builder and what percentage of parking deficiency may be wadeup by
a contribution to a parking fund. The lease of Village property to the National
Tea Company was proposed by Trustee Schleicher as an alternative to sale, the
Village attorney having advised the Board that an exchange of property would not
be permissible.

Company's proposal be referred to the Plan Commission for consideration and
recommendation.

hearing will be held by the Lake County Zoning Board of Appeals in the Deerfield
Village Hall on June 25, 1968. He stated that it has long been the hope of many
