The close proximity of this property to a school, commercial uses and existing flammable materials . I 2. The egress and ingress of heavily loaded trucks would cause a traffic hazard on already heavily traveled highways . i 3. Industrial zoning would be inconsistent with the existing use of part of the property. 4. The proposed rezoning involves land close to airport runways and the use constitutes a danger. Mr. Everett Lewy, Attorney for one of the petitioners in the fore- going case, requested a meeting with the Board or a Committee of the Board regarding the above report. i The report of the Zoning Board in Case 63-9 was referred to the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee and President Gibson asked Chairman Lewis to notify the petitioner, the Zoning Board and Village Board as to the date and place of the meeting to discuss said case.

It was the consensus that there would be no objection to the release of the names and addresses to the clergymen, but that it would not be an acceptable practice to release them to others because ! of the possibility of their being used for commercial purposes . Trustee Zettek requested Attorney Hofert to check and determine if there has been recent legislation which permits a municipality to enact and enforce traffic controls in shopping centers which are private property. It was moved by Trustee Zettek and seconded by Trustee Mullen that the meeting be adjourned.
