In connection with the Fritz - Mallin zoning suit
for a change to Commercial with a Special Use of
property at--'-the northeast corner of Lake -Cook
attorney reported that Judge Geiger had suggested that
if possible. The trial is'scheduled for October 9th
agreed upon.
The Village attorney said expert witnesses were consulted - Tom Dykes, Planner.
Paul Box, traffic consultant, and two real estate appraisers. The petitioner submitted
proposals, and from them,.a.reasonable compromise was worked,:out. Most important, pro-
tection is given to the single- family zoning to the east.
Mr. Dykes submitted a site plan showing details of what is proposed. The cul -de -sac
has been extended for Greenbrier.Drive to permit four. lots to be subdivided, giving
protection to residences. A.seven foot fence will'-'be erected to. separate the Commercial
and Residential districts..A berm with plantings will be constructed to the North to
separate the Blie.tz.p.roperty from the commercial uses on the Fritz- Mallin property.
Three.buildingsare planned - a restaurant near Lake -Cook Road, a two -story office
building and garden store at the east, and a.one -story furniture store with a display area
in the basement. There will be parking for 376 cars and there will be more plantings than
is.customary, for esthetic purposes.. .
. A large group�of= Briarwood Vista residents were present to object'--to the compromise.
They felt it should go to trial. A major objection was that no assurance could be given
on when the four houses on the newly subdivided lots would be built. It was pointed out
the these four lots, with all improvements in, would be too valuable to leave dormant.
Heavy traffic was mentioned as a hazard, but Mr. Box has planned driveway entrances and
exits.to cause as little inconvenience as possible. A resident said the sewer system -
was inadequate and asked the engineer to. check the system.
Trustee Marty moved, seconded by Trustee Gavin, that the attorney be instructed
that the Board approves in concept the compromise and consent decree, and to negotiate
with the petitioner on the specifics of the agreement.
