P.C. Report-Travenol Rezoning The report from the Plan Commission was
t Annexation (Baxter) recommending annexation and an 0 & R
classification for the Travenol property
on the west side of Wilmot Road;-subject to conditions listed:- no access to
Forsythia Drive; parking lot location and.landscaping, side yard!of 75 feet along
the Mailfald property; building location; site lighting; no water tower and use of
Village water and sewer service; and annexation of the Mailfald tract which will be
surrounded when the Travenol property is annexed.
Trustee Raff moved, seconded by Trustee Bootz, that the Plan Commission's
report be accepted. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion - Travenol Rezoning A lengthy discussion was had on the Plan
Annexation (Baxter) Commissi!on's report on the Travenol petition
and the conditions recommended to be imposed.
Passage of the ordinance vacating a portion of Forsythia Drive was unnecessary to
preclude the use of the street for access to tie.-Travenol site, the village attorney
stated, since the Pre - Annexation Agreement provides for the execution of a covenant
against such use. He added that the Board could adopt the ordinance if they wish.
Mr. Don Rosenbaum, 1799 WeGo Trail, urged the Board to pass the ordinance to prevent
the use of Forsythia Drive by not only Travenol but any other developer. Other
conditions proposed by the Plan Commission were discussed and it was stated that
the Pre - Annexation Agreement fulfilled all these recommendations. Several residents
spoke in opposition to the annexation and 0 t R classification, citing storm water
drainage problems, traffic hazards to children on Wilmot Road, potentential sewage
treatment plant problems, special assessments,for storm drainage as part of the
Hovland special assessment,the future use of the Mailfald tract as reasons why the
Travenol petition should be denied. Mr. Joseph Koss, 243 Wilmot Road, expressed
strong opposition to the Travenol development asp not being compatible with the
residential character of the Village. He presented a written statement of opposition
to the President and urged a "No" vote on the petition. He further stated that the
property between Wilmot and the Toll Road was suitable for residential development
and would be developed in this manner if non - residential uses are opposed by the
Board. President Finney pointed out that the area in question is zoned OR by the
County, and could be developed under the County regulations which are less restrictive
than Village requirements.
A resident of WeGo Park Subdivision stated it was his opinion that the
Board should not consider annexation of the subject property unless the company
petitions for annexation of the former B.A.R.E. tract at County Line and Wilmot
Roads which is now owned by Travenol. Mr. Marshall Abbey, attorney for Travenol,
stated the company has no plans for the development of this tract, and he could
not speak for the company on annexation of this tract. In connection with the
Hovland Special Assessment, he stated the agreement indicated the company's
willingness to pay its share of the cost as determined by the Commissioner of
Special Assessments.
Mr. Koss again urged denial of the Travenol petition and stated that the
a dvisors to the Board did not represent the wishes of the residents who desire to
maintain the residential character of the Village and the property va;l-des of those
who have bought homes here.
The meeting was recessed at 9:45 p.m. and reconvened at 10 :00 p.m., all
members present.
