three story building continuing to be rentals and by adding more
condominiums.

story buildings. This phase is compatible with Oak Creek Apartments .
The size of the development is 11. 1 acres with 154 total units of
which 102 will be two bedroom units and 52 will be one bedroom units .
The plan is almost in exact compliance with the original plan which

miniums in the area. The biggest features of this area will be in
the landscaping and treatment of the entryway. Approximately 1. 75
parking spaces will be available per unit. Mr. Kodak anticipates
breaking ground in April and opening models for sales in July.
Commissioner Mendenhall inquired as to the recreational facilities.
Mr. Rodak commented there will be no recreation center provided at
this time, but one may be added at a later date. He explained that
some occupants are not interested in carrying the burden of a
recreation area. However, the recreation center in the apartment
area will be accessible for this group.

franchise and therefore withdraws his application for a Special
Use Permit.
Zoning Map

need to be made when the 1974 zoning map is prepared by the Village
engineer. These corrections will be made before the map is officially
adopted by the Village. Mr. Balling insured these members that this
would be done.

of which he is a Blue Ribbon Committee member. The committee is now
considering recommendations to be presented to the Village Board.
