not be detailed.

Mr. Richard Donatoni, and Mr. Frank Angelotti.
Mr. Broms briefly outlined the proposed development to be known
as Villa Verde and presented Exhibit 1 which was a title policy
on the property under Trust No. 40890. He stated that the
development will consist of 336 apartments on the south 1 of
the 40 acres and commercial buildings on the north 1. The
apartments will be in 6 buildings with 56 units in each building.
A swimming pool and clubhouse will be included.

plans, rendering and data relative to the composition of the
development and its impact on the village.
`.� Mr. Donatoni, Architect, elaborated on the description of the
apartment buildings and the tpe of construction proposed. The
buildings will be 3 stories and 32 feet in height with mansard
roof and brick veneer exterior.
Mr. Broms stated that construction could start at once and •
`,/ should be completed in about l years. The major tenant for
the shopping comple— will probably be a major supermarket but
other tubes of businesses to be included are not known at this
time . Height of the office building will be about 45 feet.

in view of the fact that the Zoning Ordinance for a B--3

3 stories. Chairman Berth said that a legal opinion on this
matter would be obtained from Mr. Raysa, Village Attorney prior
to the Plan Commission' s next meeting.
