The petitioners were not present at the start of the meeting. President Huxhold onfirmed the fact that theyhad been notified of the hears (-)1c: ng. The board was discussing date to adjourn to when Mr. Borde, representing the petitioners, arrived at 7:30 P.M. Trustee Gleason arrived at 7:31 P.M. A few minutes were spent in discussing some aspects of the agreement presented. Mr. Borde explained how they arrived at the statement that the number of units in multiple was well within our density requirements. Their three bedroom apartments cover 3600 sq. ft. The petitioners desire three bedroom apartments because it makes their plan more flexible. They argue that although three bedroom apartments may provide more children of school age, they can find no valid facts to prove this and in their opinion the number involved in this case will probably be insignificant. The petitioners also brought up the point that in neighboring Northgate, 20% three bedroom apartments were permitted recently. On other points brought up it was stated by the petitioners that they will dedicate the required right of way when they subdivide. They will also extend on-site and off-site sewers, probably with a recapture clause. They expect to extend water lines down Dundee Road during this construction season. They will see to it that land for a well is available when it is needed. Mr. Borde assured Mr. Hooper that proper sized pipes could be installed. It was also stated that the public land available could be relocated to suit all parties concerned. Little can be done relative to the Commercial area since a Mr. Weidner retains the commercial zoning on this 10 acres. Due to the lack of time and the number of questions to be answered it was moved by Trustee Wilhelm and seconded by Trustee Gleeson to adjourn.the meeting to Tuesday, July 30 at 7;00 P.M. in the Municipal center.
