so bond money would not have to be used to get the jobs
done.

will be done by July 24, 1989.

responded that the property is not owned by his company.
Bob Engle, 1401 Westchester, stated that residents are
asking Mr. Morelli to act reasonably.

and staples were left in his back yard making it hazardous

call Mr. Kuenkler, who can advise the Board if problems
still exist.

individually owned buildings are not wanted in Buffalo
Grove.

President Clayton stated that the purpose of the discussion
is to review the Plan Commission's negative recommendation
and to listen to the developer's suggestions for revising
the site plan. Even if the Board does not think the plan
should be approved, the developer could still request that
the Board take formal action on a PUD ordinance.
Mr. Tobin, part owner of the property, asked if individual
ownership of dwelling units would be a major change.
Trustee Shifrin stated that to create it as a separate
entity from the Mill Creek condos causes traffic problems,
but changing to an ownership product would be a big step in
the right direction.
The developer asked if the property could be subdivided i.e.
duplex or triplex, where lots would be separate but not a
condominium. It would be a higher priced housing product,
not on the low end.
