KOTTKE CRABTREE NURSERY PROPERTY (UNINCORPORATED) PRE-
APPLICATION CONFERENCE:  In accordance with Illinois State law, the Village of 
Barrington Hills has the right within 1-1/2 miles of the Village to review any proposed 
development in an unincorporated area.  This property is in unincorporated cook County, 
but adjoins the Village of South Barrington.  It is being presented to the Barrington Hills 
Plan Commission as part of the pre-application conference provisions of the Subdivision 
Ordinance.

Attorney Brian Fornek represents Gerald Meese & Associates, developers for the Kottke 
Crabtree Nursery property.  It consists of 21 acres on the south side of Algonquin Road, 
east of Barrington Road.  The proposal is to subdivide the property into 14 lots with a 
minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet and an average of 65,000 square feet. The 
residence will be on septic and well.

Mr. Fornek identified two drainage patterns, one located east of the property with 
drainage to the northeast and part flowing to this site.  There will be some berming with a 
retention area in the northeast corner.  Drainage from that area will be diverted to the 
south and west both overland and by underground stormwater conduits to an existing 
pond in the southwest corner of the property.    

Mr. Fornek advised that the preliminary plan presented as a PUD has already been 
approved by Cook County, who is currently reviewing the final engineering which will 
include extensive landscaping and additional plantings.  Mr. Fornek did not foresee any 
significant change in existing elevations.

Village Engineer Mike Lukich said he had not yet seen the plans for stormwater 
management and other design requirements.  Mr. Fornek said he'd send him a copy of the 
formal submittal to South Barrington.

No further action was taken on this matter.


COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW:    Before proceeding with their review of the 
Goals & Objectives in the Comprehensive Plan, Robert Kosin asked the Plan 
Commission to consider inclusion of the following:  (1)  Fire protection to include 
emergency medical services;  (2) Emergency services center (focal point) for man-made 
or natural disasters; (3) Coordination of residential and institutional use of security alarms 
and their connection with Village facilities; (4) Mapping/surveying, including field 
benchmark for vertical and horizontal datum; and (5) Establish a records retention and 
repository for all historical data within the Village.  

Attached is a draft of the proposed revisions to the Ecology and Character of the Goals & 
Objectives section.  Additions and revisions are contained in brackets [  ] and deletions 
are indicated by strike-throughs.  

Continuation of the Comprehensive Plan review was scheduled for subsequent meetings.


TRUSTEE'S REPORT:  Trustee Sapp reported that at the last Board meeting a Levy 
Ordinance was passed which will increase tax bills.

The required amount of signatures have been received to place on the March ballot the 
request to permit sworn officers of the Police Department to participate in a police 
pension plan.

Trustee Sapp also said that the Board has looked at the proposed Business Park Zoning 
Ordinance submitted from the Zoning Board of Appeals.  The Board deferred voting on 
the ordinance until they could have more time to study it.

Judge Sullivan denied Barrington Hills' request to reopen the Duda case. 


There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:20 after being so 
moved and seconded.

Respectfully submitted,



Lou Anne Majewski
Recording Secretary
