STAFF PRESENT: Stephen M. Feller, Administrative Assistant Thomas J. Zappa, Administrative Intern Comprehensive Master Plan Kenna remarked that Planning Horizons, Inc. had completed the color-coded zoning map and existing land use map. He said that the two maps illustrate the existing conditions in Elk Grove Village. Kenna remarked that the Commission can now proceed in developing a Comprehensive Plan which will serve as a guide on the use of undeveloped property within the planning jurisdiction of Elk Grove Village. Kenna suggested that the Plan Commission may want to consider establishing a conditional business zone for property along selected major streets in the Village. Glass suggested that there are many considerations when deciding on the best use for undeveloped lands. He mentioned that utility requirements, traffic patterns, and environmental concerns should be included in considering the best use for undeveloped land. Stangeiand concurred with this opinion and added the need to consider the tax impact of certain land uses. Glass asked the staff to obtain zoning maps of surrounding communities in order to assist the Commission in studying this matter. Kenna suggested that the Village Attorney be asked to participate in the next meeting on the Comprehensive Plan. Kenna related that the Village Attorney could offer insight into what ingredients are needed in a Comprehensive Plan in order to make it defensible in a court of law. The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. Submitted by, Thomas J. Za p TJZ:ms Administrative Intern
