The members present were:
Frank Dillon
Jack Denny
Gayle Bantner
W. R. Ballard
The meeting was called to order at approximately 8:10 P.M. by W. R. Ballard
who with the approval of the commission members was temporary chairman.
The first item discussed was the request for approval and recommendation to
the Village Board of the underground sewer utilities of Section 16 of the
"inside" street plan. Mr. Evan Stebbens clarified the request at the suggestion
of the Plan Commission members. Since the recommendation would not obligate
the Plan Commission other than on underground utilities and did not indicate
the approval of the width of the streets either interior or exterior, Jack
Denny recommended we recommend the approval to the Village Board. It was
seconded by Frank Dillon. The vote was unanimous.
The final plat of Rogers Industrial Subdivision Unit #1 was presented by the
representatives of the developers. After due discussion, Jack Denny moved that
we recommend approval to the Village Board; Gayle Bantner seconded it; vote was
unanimous.
As there was no further new business, the temporary chairman moved on to a dis-
cussion of the proposed annexation and rezoning of the 100 acres as requested
by Centex. The letter from Centex explaining the charts and maps submitted by
them was read and discussed. A short recess was then called so that the audience
could examine the documents submitted. The meeting was then re-called to order,
and the temporary chairman then outlined the rules that the audience could not
ask questions or participate in the discussion being held by the Plan Commission.
If a member of the Plan Commission desired to ask a question of someone in the
audience, they could, provided it met the Commission's approval. Only the
party or parties so addressed could answer the question. Since the letter from
Centex was short and was read verbatim, it was ruled that due to the length of the
opposition's report, the chair would call for comments from Commission members on
a page by page basis. Mrs. Leah Cummins arrived at approximately 8:50 P.M.
As each page was called for discussion, the Plan Commission members asked questions
of either the attorneys for the opposition, the chairman or secretary of the organi-
zation in opposition. Chairman Schwellenbach arrived at approximately 9:35 and
the temporary chairman turned the meeting over to him.
Mr. Schwellenbach then brought the Commission up to date, on the material submitted
and then called for a recess of approximately fifteen minutes. Following the recess,
the chairman reminded the Commission members that a majority of five must, be present
to recommend approval to the Village Board. The vote was then re-taken on Section 16,
as previously mentioned, and Rogers Industrial Subdivision Unit #1. All previous
votes were still in favor along with the Chairman's which constituted the required
majority.

The Commission then proceeded to discuss the balance of the opposition's report.
At the request of the attorney for the opposition, the minutes do hereby re-
flect that Mrs. Cummins was overruled by the Chairman in the asking of a question.
No other member of the Commission supported Mrs. Cummins and therefore no vote was
called for.
The meeting was subsequently adjourned at approximately 10:45 A.M.
Respectfully submitted
W. R. Ballard, Secretary
