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.
