"Historic Day" for village's retail growth / BG Days set / Library's network expands

             Village Board President Eric Smith was like a proud father at the Aug. 21 Village Board meeting.

            Calling it a “historic day” for the village, Smith presided over the meeting that included discussions about a proposal for a Lazy Dog Restaurant and Grill at the intersection of Lake-Cook and McHenry Roads, plans for a Belle Tire in the Ricky Rockets Fuel Center and approval of a Dundee Road Tax Increment Financing District (TIF).

            However, the crowning touch of the evening was the presentation for development of the 16-acre infamous and blighted Rohrman properties at 915 – 945 Dundee Rd. which have been the source of ridicule by residents for years.


            Unveiled plans call for a mix-used development that will include a Tesla dealership along with 30,000 to 40,000 square feet and what was described as a “197-unit luxury multi-family residential project.” While a detailed timeframe for the development was not unveiled, it is anticipated that if approved, demolition of the buildings currently on the site would begin by the end of this year. Site work would begin during the first quarter of 2024 and construction during the second quarter. It’s possible, officials say, that the 50,000 square foot dealership could open by the end of 2024.

            All of the projects discussed at the meeting were referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) for its review. The next PZC meeting is Sept. 6.

            Perhaps the most significant aspect of the proposals discussed at the meeting goes beyond the Rohrman properties. While they are arguably the biggest focus point, the proposals represent development not only along the Dundee Road corridor, but also the Lake-Cook Road corridor where the focus has been the development of “The Clove,” which is the redevelopment of the old Town Center.

            Additionally, the proposals represent a mix of retail, dining, and residential units.

Rohrman redevelopment

Mention eyesores in Buffalo Grove and it’s likely this site is top of mind. In addition to the Tesla dealership, tentative plans call for two outlots for retail use. The residential development would cover 5.7 acres with 197 units spread across four four-story buildings. The units would have one- or two-bedrooms. Garage parking would be included. The development would also have a clubhouse for residents and a central greenspace and pool in the center.

            According to village officials, the TIF impact on the project could include “eligible reimbursements [may include], but are not limited to public infrastructure land assemblage site preparation studies, surveys and plans and financing costs.”

Lazy Dog

            The site for the fourth Lazy Dog in the Chicago area is the outlot at The Grove plaza that once housed an IHOP. As reported in BGNI last week, the unit will be somewhat smaller than the nearby unit in Vernon Hills. The proposed unit will be 7,400 square feet compared to the 9,260 square feet of the Vernon Hills facility. The Buffalo Grove restaurant would include a 1,300 square patio.

            Although no specific opening date was set, Lazy Dog officials told the Village Board that it typically takes six months for site development and training.

Belle Tire

            According to village officials, the proposal calls for “a 9,800-square-foot single-story store with 10 service bays. Belle Tire sells and installs passenger vehicle tires as well as offers various minor automotive repairs such as brakes, alignments, and oil changes. All repair and installation work and all storage of new and scrap tires will take place inside the building. The facility will not perform any significant repairs, including engine or transmission repairs or bodywork.” It would encompass 1.07 acres and would be located just east of the carwash at Ricky Rockets. The Daily Herald reports that the proposal is part of Belle Tires’ aggressive expansion in the Chicago area. Belle currently has 21 Illinois units, but is eyeing 60 in “the Chicagoland area.”

            Details for all of the proposals as presented to the Village Board can be found here.

Townhomes eyed for Prairie View

            The Village Board heard more than proposals for retail businesses at its Aug. 21 meeting. The Board referred a proposal for 41 townhome units that, if approved, would be on a 4.25-acre site at 22771 and 22825 Prairie Road. The site is just south of Ill. Rt. 22 (Half Day Road). The Daily Herald reports the units would be rentals with rents estimated to be between $3,500 and $4,000 a month.

Kids activities set at Buffalo Grove Days

A variety of activities for children are scheduled for this weekend’s Buffalo Grove Days from 12:30 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 2.

ITPLD network expansion to impact services

            The Cooperative Computer Service (CCS) consortium of libraries, which includes the Indian Trails Public Library District, has added the Warren-Newport Public Library.

The addition of the Warren-Newport facility, which takes effect Sept. 6, will have an impact on Indian Trails Library services.

According to Library officials, the additional library will add more than 300,000 materials. During the transition from 28 to 29 libraries, services at Indian Trails will be impacted from 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31, through 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

During this period, motorists can expect to see roadside safety checks, more officers on the road and increased messaging about the dangers of impaired driving.

In addition to looking for drunken drivers, Buffalo Grove Police will be stepping up seat belt enforcement, particularly at night when seat belt usage rates are at their lowest. Speeders and distracted drivers should also be aware.

Lazy Dog eyes BG / Dundee TIF district / Cops probe auto burglary

 Lazy Dog eyes BG location

The Lazy Dog in Vernon Hills

            The Village Board will hear a proposal for a Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar at the corner of Lake-Cook and McHenry Roads, the site of the former IHOP.

Tonight’s conversation is dubbed a pre-application discussion that will give Lazy Dog officials the opportunity to present their proposal. They are also seeking a referral to the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Lazy Dog is a California-based chain that opened its first Illinois location in Vernon Hills in November of 2018.

The proposal for the unit in Buffalo Grove would be, according to the Daily Herald, a one-story facility that would be approximately 7,400 square feet and include a 1,300 square foot outdoor patio.

By comparison, the Vernon Hills restaurant is a 9,269-square-foot building with a seating capacity of 152 people.

The size of the proposed Buffalo Grove unit, notes the Daily Herald, is typical of various sit-down restaurants and is almost double the size of the previous IHOP (which was also a Wags/Shoney’s), which was approximately 4,182 square feet.

Board to weigh Dundee Road TIF district

          The Village Board is expected to adopt two resolutions that would approve and establish a tax increment financing (TIF) district along Dundee Road.

            The district includes Plaza Villa, Strathmore Square and the sites of the former Rohrman auto dealerships.

            While passage may seem routine, the potential impact is not. Village officials are hopeful establishment of a TIF district along Dundee Road will spur new development, especially on the former Rohrman sites.

Cops cleared

          Two Buffalo Grove police officers will not face criminal charges in the fatal shooting of a man in December of 2021. According to reporting in the Journal and Topics, the decision was issued by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office which, along with the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office, investigated the incident.

System maintenance may hinder Park District registrations

The Park District’s online registration site will not be accessible on Tuesday, August 22 beginning at 8:30 am due to scheduled maintenance. Park District officials are hoping the system will be back up in the afternoon.

Additional maintenance will be done starting at 8:15 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25. It is expected to be completed by 7 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 27.

Learn how to ‘go green’ at Park District event

 The Park District is hosting a “Green Fair” from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 27 at Mike Rylko Community Park, 1000 N. Buffalo Grove Rd.

From the Police Report

            It was a quiet week for the folks in blue from 46 Raupp. Police report seven citations for traffic relate offenses including speeding, DUI, driving with an expired registration and a revoked driver’s license.

            The only crime reported was a car burglary which reportedly occurred while a woman was playing Pickleball at Mike Rylko Park. She reported to police that personal possessions were taken from her car. Police say access to the car was gained through the rear window on the driver’s side which was broken out.

Opposition to BG Road widening heats up

            A proposal to widen Buffalo Grove Road from Half Day Road (Ill. Rt. 22) to U.S. Rt. 45 is continuing to meet with opposition from residents adjacent to the project who have recently posted a barrage of signs along the route of the project.

            The project is the latest phase in the widening of Buffalo Grove Road. The roadway has been widened from McHenry Road (IL Rt. 83) to Half Day Road. Opposition to the previous phases was minimal.


            The project, being coordinated by the Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT), is scheduled to begin in 2025. That, however, does not mean construction will begin at that time. Details about the project, which calls for the roadway to be widened to four lanes plus turn lanes, can be found here.

            According to Buffalo Grove Village Manager, Dane Bragg, the project, is “under the terms of the 1995 intergovernmental agreement, Lake County and the Village prioritized the widening and improvement of Deerfield Parkway, Weiland Road and Buffalo Grove Road to complete the county highway system. Lake County is the lead agency and the right-of-way is under the jurisdiction of the county.”

            At issue, according to the website http://www.no2bgrdwidening.com put together by opponents to the project that it is not necessary, will create new traffic problems, will adversely impact wildlife and pedestrian safety and community charm. Full details of the group’s position are in a 1,650 word “declaration” found on the website. Aside from citing opposition from “residents of Vernon Hills, Prairie View, and Buffalo Grove, who will be negatively impacted and are opposing the proposed widening of Buffalo Grove Road from 2 lanes to 4/5 lanes,” there is no indication who is behind the effort or how it is being funded.

            LCDOT has had public forums regarding the project, most recently a virtual one in May, which according to the Daily Herald, included nearly 100 residents who voiced opposition to the project. A concern of the group, according to Lake County Board Rep. Marah Altenberg (D-9), is “the widening attracting additional traffic that they do not think they have now. They say additional lanes will make it less safe for bikers and walkers. It will also increase noise pollution.”

            In an email to BGNI, she noted that The LCDOT has conducted the traffic studies. “This road, since it was built, has been part of many future plans for the county. It is in the 20-year- strategic plan and was always projected to be widened. The traffic projections in the study are for 2050. The DOT is doing the widening to prevent future bottlenecks from increased traffic projected for the future.”

            Altenberg added that the last study by LCDOT was done in 2018. “Residents complain that this data is pre-pandemic and not as relevant today. So, LCDOT has agreed to do another traffic study that will take about two to three months to complete. Residents are pleased with this decision. Once the DOT has the new data, they will be meeting with each of the resident developments who have concerns.”

            Altenberg added that “I support our residents questioning local projects if they have concerns. I support them working with local officials to get the best outcomes for their community.”

            Bragg added that “while it has been implied that the project is going forward as presented, no design concepts have been accepted or approved by the County or communities (Buffalo Grove and Vernon Hills). The village continues to work with LCDOT on areas of concern (pedestrian safety, noise impacts, stormwater management) as LCDOT enters the design phase.”

            The Buffalo Grove Police Department notes that the widening of various roadways in the village have had little impact on traffic volume or accident rate. “Thus far the improvements have worked how they were intended to, which is to ease congestion on main roadways through the village, easing congestion during high peak travel times,” Sgt. Anthony Turano noted in an email to BGNI. He added that “we have not received any traffic complaints to date this year about these roads or any issues due to them being widened.”

            Both Bragg and Altenberg say they have heard from residents who live adjacent to the portion of Buffalo Grove Road earmarked for widening and continue to, says Bragg, “to dialogue with them about the project.”

            In regard to the project’s cost, Bragg said the village is responsible for its portion of the improvement costs for items such as street lighting, sidewalks, median landscaping, etc. the village does not pay for any share of the roadway improvement. The project is funded primarily through county road funds, no federal funds are designated for this project.”

 

Sidewalk repairs underway

Sidewalk repairs throughout the village are in high gear. According to village officials, the repairs will address sections of sidewalk that are broken, heaved, dipped, cracked or have other defects. A map of scheduled repairs can be found at this link.

 



A sign of the times?


            With the opening of the first tenants in the foreseeable future, developers of “The Clove,” the edifice formerly known as Town Center, have posted signs heralding the new development. Signs along McHenry and Buffalo Grove roads have been installed and include Chick-fil-a as a tenant. An undated sign on the front of Chick-fil-a states the unit is scheduled to open “in 10 days”.  A second eatery, Guzman y Gomez, is planning to open in early fall.

 

Your opinion still sought

Residents who want  to voice their opinions about the village’s community branding or comprehensive plans, can still complete online. The deadline is now Aug. 28 to complete the surveys.

The comprehensive plan survey seeks residents' visions for the future of BG specifically in regards to its physical environment. That survey can be accessed at this link while the survey about community branding is available here.
