Mr. Leiberman stated that they would work with the Plan Com-

extremely attractive.

plan is higher, but the green space is almost the same because the

that the issue of guest parking has not yet been addressed.
Trustee Shifrin stated that he would like to see a very unique
architectural style.

voiced many of her comments and concerns; she asked several
other questions regarding the style and the marketing; she
shares Trustee Glover's concern with the density.
Trustee Marienthal stated that he shares a number of the same
concerns previously noted by other Trustees; he asked if there
would be assurance that there would be no parking on either
side of the street, to which Mr. Braun responded affirmatively;
he then asked several other questions which were answered by
the developer.
Trustee Reid also shares many of the concerns already addressed;
he then asked questions of the developer with regard to square

number of townhomes and an increase in the multi-family.

Marienthal - In favor of townhomes, but he thinks some of the
issues brought up have to be addressed; he is
not opposed to leaving the count close to what
it is presently.
Glover - Doesn't think the concerns can be resolved with-
out increasing the multi-family and decreasing
the townhomes.
Reid - Likes the townhome concept, but is concerned
about the density, so thinks increasing the multi-
family and decreasing the townhomes may have to
be considered.
Shields - Absent
Kowalski - Echo Trustee Glover's comments.
Shifrin - Thinks a better mix might make everyone happy;
he has no problem with increasing the multi-
family; he is totally opposed to a multi-level
parking garage.
Mr. Balling stated that the Village Board would like to see some
changes made before referring the plan to the Plan Commission.
Mr. Raysa raised some ownership questions with regard to the
reflecting pool and whether or not it is open to the public;

Trustee Marienthal questioned the need for another bank in the
community; Mr. Zale responded that that was intended just as an
example.
Trustee Marienthal asked about the proposed type of restaurant;
Ms. Kopecki stated that they would seek a family oriented, sit-down,
full service restaurant for one outlot, and the other two outlots would
probably be fast food types.
Trustee Marienthal questioned the buffering, which was addressed by
Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Zale.
Trustee Glover stated that, if the area were to be industrial, there
could be more buffering and aesthetic treatment; he believes this area
should be industrial; traffic is another concern of his.
Trustee Reid's primary concern is also the aesthetics along Route 22,
as well as the traffic study.
In answer to a question from Trustee Kowalski, Mr. Zale stated that
they are working on elevations to make this center unique, and that
he wants to do a nice center, perhaps with a colonial look. Mr. Zale
stated that he would be willing to make the marketing study available
for review.

treatments for the center.

Trustee Glover noted appreciation for all the work and effort
which went into these negotiations.
In answer to a question from Trustee Glover, Mr. Szymborski stated
that Continential Cablevision's referenced were good, although not
excellent; their strength is commitment to local programming, and
l , their weakness is responsiveness.

further rights as far as approving a franchise transfer.
