inclusive. Les Knudson seconded it; vote was unanimous .
In a discussion of Attorney Hofert 's opinion regarding Tec-
Search, it was the majority of opinion of the Plan Commission
not to recommend termination of the contract or the taking of
any action at this time. We should continue to work with Tec-
Search as long as they comply with their schedule. If the
March 2 , 1966 schedule is not met , drastic action should be
taken at that time.
A discussion was held regarding the 40 acres on the Southwest
Corner of Devon and Arlington Heights Road which lies in Du
Page County. If annexed to the village , the owner would desire
commercial zoning since he plans a drive-in theatre on the north
half of the property. The Plan Commission would look favorably
on residential zoning only and the owner would apply after an-
nexation for commercial zoning on pieces of the property . It
was pointed out that Tec-Search showed a recommendation of resid-
ential zoning for the area in question. The Commission was con-
cerned with the problem of sewage treatment south of Devon and
.also water should Chicago water ever be brought into the village.
Previously , property south of Devon lying in Du Page County was
required to furnish its own sewage treatment plant . The Plan
Commission recommends that the Village Board write a letter to
the property owner pointing out the bad features .
A considerable discussion ensued concerning the A-2 multi-family
zoning presently in the village. They reviewed the present
apartment plats showing the development on the basis of twelve
units per acre and the balance proposed at nineteen units per
acre,
