Chairman Shannon opened the meeting at 8:12 P.M. 1 . Minutes : The Secretary read the minutes of the July 6, 1972 meeting, which were approved. 2. New Business: a. Carol Place. The Chairman reported that originally the Village had vacated the land and returned it to Centex; however, the engineers needed another five (5' ) feet for the right of way on Arlington Heights Road. Centex agreed to this. It is now the consensus of the Plan Commission that an additional five (5' ) feet should be requested for a bicycle path to provide a safe access to the shopping center and bowling alley. b. Terrace Apartments - proposal for condominiums. Leah Cummins reported having attended a meeting with the owners and architects and the Village Trustees; at which plans were presented for Phase 5 of the Terrace Apartment Complex, consisting of 67 condominium apartments. Each apartment was to have one covered basement parking space plus one on-site surface parking unit. A swimming pool and large sundeck are included. Major drawbacks to the plan, as expressed by the indi- vidual Trustees and the President of the Village Board, were the height of the buildings and the traffic flow - the latter being designed to enter and exit on Elk Grove Boulevard. At any rate, despite considerable encouragement from the Trustees, it was noted that the developers stated to the press the following day that they were not going to proceed with the development in the foregoing manner. 3.

Voting AYE - Hamilton and Cummins ; Voting NAY - Siewert, Killion and Pottker. It was then decided that this plat would be forwarded to the Village Board with the recommendation that they hold it pending notification from the North Cook County Soil and Water District. (It should be noted that no formal motion or roll call was made on the foregoing. ) Centex Industrial Park Unit No. 168 was presented and it was decided it should be held pending receipt of some reaction from the North Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District. Carol Place was again discussed briefly. It was. moved by Hamilton and seconded by Killion that the plat be submitted to the Village Engineer for his recommendation regarding the feasibility of a bicycle path. All members present voted AYE. B. Barton-Aschman Thoroughfare Study. Several hours were spent in dis- cussion of this study with the Plan Commission focussing chiefly on the basic questions: 1 . Should we adopt this new plan with its definitions, etc. , to replace the master plan and update the land-use plan? and 2. Which of the three alternates on page 28 should we adopt? An alternative plan in the Devon-53 area was considered - that of depressing the extension of Nerge Road hooking up with Devon Avenue. (No definitive conclusions were reached. ) Items 3 C, D, E, F, G, H. ; as well as Nos. 4, 5, 6 were tabled. The Secretary left at 11 :05 P.M. and the discussion of Devon - 53 Project commenced.
