Minutes which were accepted as read.
3 . Unfinished Business:
A. Boardwalk Subdivision - Mr. Davis , the builder, indicated he and
the architect had complied with requirements presented to them by
the Plan Commission and Mr. Rettenbacher. Chairman Shannon
conducted a review of the recommendations which had been made
on December 6, 1971 , as follows:
1 . West access .
2 . East access - three lanes , 12' width and sidewalks .
3 . Meet MSD retention requirements .
4. Screen entire project.
S. Specify Lot 2 as common open space.
6. Leave in leave-outs on south side.
7 . Perimeter road to meet Village requirements .
8. Park space 20' deep.
9 . Street light indicated and described on plat.
10. Compliance with Rettenbacher's December 6, 1971 report.
11 . Recognize the fact that 30' distance between buildings does
not constitute common open space .
Plan Commission members noted that the foregoing had in fact been
effected, with the exception of the western access, the requirement
of fifty percent open space and the fact that the plan incorporated a
variance from the Village's currently proposed ordinance calling for
elevators .

A careful review of the artist's rendering of the project revealed
a four-foot "alley" running halfway between each set of buildings .
Considerable discussion accompanied this feature of the plan,
with Mr. Hamilton expressing relentless concern for the possibilities
these narrow spaces present to persons pursuing rape and other
criminal activities . Without the benefit of departmental reports,
it was not possible to determine just how the Police Chief
regarded this situation. The Police Committee was entrusted
to explore this facet.
A motion was made to approve the plan subject to departmental
approval before the next Village Board meeting, including resolution
of any possible problem the four-foot space between buildings
might present; that the motion include a recommendation to the
Village Board that they condemn the 30 foot strip of land previously
left open in Parcel E to provide for emergency vehicular use and
pedestrian traffic.
The foregoing motion was made by Cummins (with assistance from
Hamilton) and seconded by Pottker.
Voting AYE - all members present.
B. Standard Oil Station Annexation as B-2.
Discussions of this prospective annexation were held, with emphasis
on the departmental recommendations .
It was moved by Hamilton and seconded by Cummins that the
annexation be approved by the Village Board, predicated on compliance
with the recommendations of the Village Manager in his memorandum
addressed to the Village Board under date of December 3 , 1971 , with
these modifications: In Recommendations Nos . 2 and 3 , the require-
ments are to be amended with the additional wording "insofar as
possible" . These requirements relate to the petitioner's agreement
to prevent blockage of traffic on adjacent streets and to control
icing conditions , both situations resulting from the car wash
operation.
Voting AYE - all members present.
C . Chairman requrested tabling this item for next meeting.
D . Chairman requested holding this item for a future meeting .
At this point Mrs . Cummins left the meeting and Mr. Siewert assumed the
duties of the recording secretary.
