The Plan Commission recommends that the Village consider his formal petition for annexaxion in the R-1 zoning classification and thc': the Board advise Mr. Luehring that certain problems may arise in the evt : - 3 - Reg. 3-1-6h the property is annexed such as the availability and/or cost of Chicago water should the Village at some time in the future obtain Chicago water, and that there is the immediate problem of sewage disposal due to the stated position (they will not cross County lines) of the Metropolitan Sanitary District. 2.
