work that has been done,however,he does have concerns about the general concept in those locations. Trustee
Braiman stated that,although he believes that residents would like a downtown,he does not believe they are
necessarily looking for a high-density residential downtown;he believes that we have enough multi-family units in
the Village;he does not want to encourage the traffic that the high density will create;he questions whether the
cost in putting these parcels together is practical;he believes that the Board will concur that there is no intention of
ever violating a boundary agreement;he questions whether or not this should be incorporated into the
Comprehensive Plan;he would rather that it be accepted as a study,using some of the concepts in that study.
Trustee Berman is in almost complete agreement with Trustee Braiman;he applauds the efforts of those involved
in creating this plan;it is a comprehensive report that has tremendously interesting elements to it;he does not
...._,

believe that it is a plan that is feasible;he does not believe the infrastructure of the community could ultimately
support the densities being proposed;he likes the idea and the concepts,but he does not believe they could work in
this location;he does believe that it is an excellent guideline and opportunity to shape the development;he also
does not believe it should be included in the Comprehensive Plan.
Trustee Kahn agrees with both Trustees Braiman and Berman;he also applauds Camiros and the Plan Commission
for all the time and effort that went into this proposal;he sees forcing something that has constraints across the
Board;he believes many of the concepts make sense,but he believes putting it into the Comprehensive Plan is
impractical.
Trustee Glover also agrees with all previous comments; she also appreciates all of the work and effort that went
into this plan; she did like going through everything and seeing the possibilities,but she believes that it should be a
study,and not a part of the Comprehensive Plan.
President Hartstein stated that this exercise has created an opportunity for the Village to observe what might be
some feasible concepts to explore if and when the opportunity were to present itself;he also applauds and
appreciates all of the effort that went into this process.
