The Engineer pointed out that the bids for the paving of Nicholas Boulevard which were opened on April 12, 1967 were firm bids, according to contract teres, for a period of thirty days.

The Committee agreed that the present Zoning Ordinance (No. 20) provides adequate control of zoning for the time being with the exception of providing for planned development.

During discussion of the above subject, it was pointed out that the Plan Commission has given its approval to the draft of the proposed Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance which is now in the hands of the Village Board. To review the entire Ordinance and make it ready for public hearing would require a great deal of time. In order to provide an answer, one way or another, to the petitioner who presented a Planned Unit Development proposal in June of 1966, it is felt that the portion of the proposed comprehensive zoning ordinance which relates to Planned Development be refined at this time. 13) Reg. 5/9/67 It was moved by Trustee McGrenera and seconded by Trustee Gibson that the Board direct the Village Attorney, at a fee not to exceed $25.00 per an hour, to implement the planned unit development phase of the proposed Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and make it ready as an amendment to Ordinance No. 20 for presentation for Public Hearing.
