13. What Market research has been done. Toll~fine had done something. (It sounded like they had read the grown report and has concluded that a new shopping center was feasable}. It was reported by Mr. Permort that They say the trend is in this direction . 14. Mr. Gangell Asked Mr. Permart if he and his people would be willing to proceed with a planned unit development. He said they would. 15. Other service roads were brought up and Mr. Perrnort was in favor of them. It was suggested that a service road could be built all the way from school street to Main street, along the Highway right of way. This would tend to keep traffic off of Evans. It was also suggested that traffic from the present business district would go north on Jackson te School Street and then Come into the Shopping center from the North, ranther than go through any streets that might be constructed from the shopping center west therough the residential district. 16. Getting another exit from 169 was suggested and Mr. permort said that when the traffic became bureansom an application to the state for another exit half way between Main and School streets could be made.. (P.S. This secretary knows of his own knowledge that the policy of the Highway department is to make such statements, but that they also say that the state Purchased the restricted acces and that they do not sell the states property-~-tothis date, I, as Register of Deeds have not seen a change from the restricted access as originally set up). 17, Lloyd Brutlog, a resident from the area whated to make a statement before discussion was cut off: He said that the Area was committed to R~l; That a new shopping center would not solve or so improve the tax base as to solve our problemsi That the open space, as it now is is more desirable; That a change from R-l to C-3 would add to the hodge-podge we already have; and that such a change would be bad planning. He also said that such a change would cause safty problems, lighting problemsr and traffic flow problems and would thus b~ poor planning. The people present were asked If they would like to register their feelings by a show of hands and since ~they were,the call for the show of hands showed Gordon Permort in favor and l8 against. This was the end of input and the matter was laid on the table in order to proceed with the second hearing scheduled. Earl Hohlan appeared to change the Soning on part of the land Southwest of Highway No. 169 in the SE~ of SE~ of Sec. 34, Twp. 33, Rng. 26, excpet the Hoffman tract and the Miller Tract which are all now zoned as GR~4. The commission was of the opinion that if any of it was to be changed, it should all be changed West of the Highway. Since there were no indications of driveways or access or grading, it was suggested that the applicant submit a drawing of the area showing these things. It was M.S.C. that Mr. Hohlan bring in a plat plan and that we hold a special meeting to pass on the change of zoning. Mr. Permort was still present and the commission asked him concerning drainage, sewer, etc. and it appeared that he felt that the village should see to it that the valuable area was properly drained so that it could be developed and that he would, of course, pay his share--area-wise. Mr. ~acGibbon said this was begging the question, and that he couldn't seet granting any change in the face of the opposition that had appeared. Mr. permort said he could get any number of people that would agree that a new shopping center was desirable, so he was asked to provide some input from the people in the neighborhood that would show the commission that there was some community support in the vacinity of the area to be changed. The matter of the constuction of an addition to the Donohue building to be used for a post office was brought up and since ~ he was proceeding without a building permit it was decided that the first step to enforce the zoning regulations wo"Uld be to P9~t a notic;e that the con~tructi,on w~s :!-.n yi.olat~,on of tn.e zoning ~e<;JUlati9n$.
