PRESENT: Charles Wilhelm, Norman Kortus, Derek Palmer, Edward Fabish, Jack
Zod:ow, George Krug and John Hooper. Visitors: Fred French, Presi-
dent of Kildeer School Board, Jack Cushman, Superintendent of Kil-
deer School D!ctrict and John Barger, Assistant Superintendent of
'\Jheeling IT_st-ict 21, Mr. Stavros and Mr. Milton Pearlman.
Me tiny; called to order at 8:07 P.M.
Mr. Peariman again presented further arguments for his pro-
posed sutddiviion west of Arlington lits. Road. The duplex units
he intends to build have 1300 sgaare feet of living space which
includes 7 rooms with 3 bedrooms. The assessed valuation for the
same type of unit in Pes Plaines, $21,900 per unit. The duplexes
will have two units, each divided by a brick party wall. His pro-
posed density is nine units per acre which would total 7S3 units
for 87 acres which is 97 units short of his required SSO units.
He talked of the possibility of bordering the golf course with
single family dwelling units. If this were done, the density of
units per acre would have to be increased in the remaining acre-
age. To reach his goal of 880 units, he would have to go into two
and three story apartment buildings. This does not include the
fact that acreage would have to be set aside for the school dis-
tricts, which would even further raise the density. Mr. Pearlman
definitely wants to get zoning so as to comply with his goal of
SSO units.
Messrs. Barger, French and Cushmar di'rcussed at length the
school problem that would develop if these ur.d;s were built. Mr.
Pearlman would not commit himself on any ac eage in his area, but
stipulated he would make monetary adjustments. Mr. French and Mr.
Cushman especially insisted on acreage rather than money. Long
Grove would require a minimum 8 acre site to service the 200 chil-
dren that would be generated in their district. Mr. Barger stated
that two (2) 8 acr^ s .tes would be required for District 21. The
menUcrs of the commfss:.on at this time felt that another meetfng
i ai r i .red to help :':,rmulate their opinions, co this ous'ineso
wa^ ^.pier::e'? o a. continued Plan Commission meeting on October 114.

path around the vill ge and illustrated his arg_ar..ent with a map of
