and that a quorum was present.and in attendance at the meeting. Also present were
Messrs. Richard Houpt, Village attorney, and Norris Stilphen, manager.
P.C. Recommendations & Plan Commission members Albert Brust, Chairman,
Annexation Agreement Dan Stiehr, Andrew Ebert and Louis Leichentritt
Deerbrook Expansion were present to discuss recommendations sub-
witted by the Commission regarding the Deerbrook
Shopping Center expansion.
The Plan Commission's reports were reviewed item by item, and it was noted
that most recommendations had been resolved by incorporation in the revised Annexa-
tion Agreement, the revised development plan indentified as SK -1 -27, Hated May 15,
1970, and a plat of dedication 6f_-17 feet for additional Waukegan Road right -of -way.
With respect to the recommended annexation of the Werhane tract of 7�; acres,
it was pointed out that the owners are unwilling to petition for annexation at this
time, Mr. Valenti has the first refusal when the property is offered for sale, and
it is to Mr..Valenti's best interests as well as the Village's that the property
be developed in a manner that will be compatible with adjacent property. The
Village attorney suggested a Statement of Policy to indicate the Village's intent
to annex the Werhan',,, and Florence Avenue properties.
The penthouse on the Ward main store was discussed at length. Decision was
made that in lieu of the phrase "non - retail "uses," the uses be defined and limited
to mechanical equipment, maintenance personnel office, storage for equipemnt and:
fixtures, storage of replacement mechanical equipment and supplies, building manager's
office, and employees lounge. Penthouses on all other buildings will be used for
mechanical equipment only. A building height of 45 ft. is limited to the Ward main
store, the office building and the theatre. All other buildings will not exceed
30 ft. in height.
Signs covered by the Annexation Agreement will be limited to the Ward sign
projecting above the roof line, and three free - standing signs on Waukegan Road,
one 180 sq. ft. in area, and two 1.20 sq. ft. signs. Other signs which do not comply
with ordinance provisions will be referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
The Plan Commission's recommendation that a 5 ft. setback for parking be
maintained along Florence Avenue property was resolved by Mr. Valenti':s suggestion
that the area be paved but not striped for parking. The question of landscaping
along street lines was resolved by the Village attorney's suggestion that the agree-
ment provide that there shall be a landscaped strip along all street lines substan-
tially Comparable to the plantings in Phase I, the present Shopping Center.
i Receipt was acknowledged of a letttr from Mr. Arthur Held, Glenbrook Country-
side Subdivision; who objected to the location of the Ward TBA store and the possi-
bility of neon and paper signs which seem to accompany such operations. The
location has been accepted by the Board with the building turned 90 degrees to put
the gas pumps on the north side of the building, as shown on Plan SK 1 -27, dated
May 16, 1970, and the architect stated he was 95 per cent sure no neon signs were
planned. It was pointed out that signs are controlled by the zoning ordinance regu-
lations whichrare quite restrictive.
Discussion was had on limiting the sale and service of alcoholic liquor for
consumption on the premises to tables and booths in conjunction with food service,
from a service bar. Mr. Valenti stated this would be satisfactory for a restaurant
but it would not be feasible for the bowling alley where a snack bar type of food
and drink service is necessary for the successful operation of such facilities.
