New Look For Town Square
Huntley Planning Commission Minutes of June 12, 1990
vo^Tr
The Civil Defense Siren's tower in Huntley's Town Square came down recently, through the efforts of the Huntley Public Works Dept. The siren was remounted on an extra large, even taller pole provided by the Village, to enable even more people to hear the 10:00 AM siren. The HFPD takes charge of sounding the civil defense siren for its regular testing and in case of an emergency. The well-groomed appearance of the Town Square is now improved thanks to the regular maintainance of the Huntley Park District.

Fabricators. They do light gauge sheet metal work. No pollutants or toxins are used. He stated that their place will be a show piece.

They are presently in Elk Grove Village and 92% of his employees will be coming out with them. The entire plant is air conditioned. No painting or plating will be done, all that is subcon¬ tracted out. The building will be all block and face brick masonry.

The next order of business was presented by Ms. JoAnn ^ones, Insurance broker. She is interested in putting up an office building on Lot 6 on Route 47, next to Moerke's home. For such a building, she il requesting a B-2 zoning. She showed the board a sketch of plant. She wants
a two-story with top on back 2/3rds of building. First floor will be 1,028 square feet. Frame structure with vinyl or aluminum siding. She showed a photo of a similar building and believes it will coordinate with the surrounding area. The building would be five feet from back lot. Ordinance calls for 2 foot back lot, would lose four parking spaces if she did that. Now plans 19 parking spaces. Will be 3-4 offices in building. Board said all rear lot lines should be the same. As far as screening the parking lot, Ms. Jones would be willing to accommodate as necessary. The total lot size is 66 x 132. Building is 32 x 50. the board felt a zero lot line in the rear would be the best. They also urged her to get a professional plan drawn up and return with that as preliminary plan.
Mr. Mercer moved to accept the concept of plan presented by JoAnn Jonea for B-2 coning with addition of a variation of rear set back at lero (0) feet. Mr. Hahn seconded. Roll call vote was as follows: Schachtner, aye; Hahn, aye; Mercer, aye; Daum, pass; Rohlwing, aye. There being four (4) ayes and one (1) passing vote, motion carried.
