- Rezoning from M-2 Heavy Industrial to B-1 Business District (Sauer's

A . Boardwalk Subdivision.
JPZ Committee members Mrs . Vanderweel and Mr. O'Brien appeared
to review with the Plan Commission the residual doubts and questions
that we and they had on this plan. They reported to us that our
concern about the Western emergency access to this property had
been taken care of in a transaction between the developer and
Centex Corporation. They discussed the problem of a no-parking
area on the Western boundary and how it could be handled. They
asked for clarification of our thinking with regard to the two varia-
tions inherent in the plan, that is , the requirement for elevators
and the thirty-foot distance between buildings . They felt that they
had enough of the rationale of our position to be able to interpret
our approval to the Village Board at its next meeting .
B. Preliminary of Centex North Stage II.
Departmental reports confirm and strengthen the previously expressed
opinion of the Plan Commission that the curve in the road must be
straightened. Chairman Shannon said he will notify the developer
of the basis for our decision on this , with a copy of his communication
to the Village Board .
C . McLennan's 19 acres - rezoning from county residential to M-1 .
Mr. Willis' report of December 14, 1971 removes any doubt whatso-
ever that the sewerage treatment facilities are totally inadequate

for the development of this property.
It therefore was moved by Siewert, seconded by Pottker, to
recommend to the Village Board that the rezoning request be granted
with restriction on land development hinging on adequate sewerage
treatment being furnished; this restriction for land development
of the subject property is based on the report of the Village Engineer.
Voting AYE - all members present.
E . Section 12 - 10th Addition.
The plat was corrected by showing the public utilities easement on
the back of the property line .
Approval of this plat was moved by Cummins, seconded by Siewert.
Voting AYE - all members present.
D. Parcel C .
The Plan Commission members , after having studied department
reports, decided that Chairman Shannon should advise the developer
of the following requirements that must be met in order for us to
render a positive recommendation to the Village Board:
a All street widths must be 28 feet.
b. The cul-de-sac must be increased to a 60 foot radius or to
the Fire Chief's recommended minimum radius for a turnaround
on areas 313 and 314. (Mr. Pottker's committee will ascertain
this information from the Chief.)
c. There must be provision for visitor parking areas .
F. Improved notice of public hearings . Mrs . Cummins advised that
Arlington Heights had recently approved an ordinance of this same
nature , which she has requested, and will share with the Plan
Commission as soon as she receives it.
4. Committee Reports - none.
5 . Chairman's Report - Town House Additions .
Mr. Shannon will request from Village Departments the backup data
regarding density, land cover and distance between buildings that the
requested town house additions will have on the planned unit as a whole .
6. Building Commissioner's Report.
In the absence of Mr. Rettenbacher, there was no report on the plat
checklist or any other matter.

welcome our suggestions of persons who would be able to fill the opening .

who would be affable , dedicated, talented and someone with whom we
would feel in tune, rather than appoint one of his friends .
