�./ Mr. Kiddie said there are some questions on whether parts of
the Naperville Ordinance are legal or constitutionally binding,
so it is not to be used as a punitive document but as a guide-
line for future builders coming into this area.
Mr. Genrich brought up the point that since most of the future
development will be through annexation, we can put much of
this in the Annexation Agreement and won 't have to worry about
many of the legal problems.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Kiddle if they have considered open areas
around schools for recreation and perhaps sharing or combining
these lands with the Park District lands to get the total
amount of land needed per 1,000 people. Mr. Kiddie said they
have looked into this and felt it was a good idea where appli-
cable.
Mr. Kiddie announced that, starting in March, the Park District
will have a full-time Director of Parks and Recreation. This
man has 10 years experience and can answer questions the Plan
Commission may have.
�•./ Mr. Kiddie wanted to call to the Plan Commission 's attention
that th road to the Sewage Treatment Plant is on land owned by
a Mr. and they would like to have him dedicate this
land to the village. He has sent correspondence about this to
Mr. Larsen, and Mr. Genrich asked that copies of this corres-
pondence be sent to the Plan Commission.
