MINUTES
Phillip Gainsley represented Xeiinetn Harter
in an application for a division of property
at 3120 North Shore Drive, He pointed out:
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
Tne two lots would each be near tiie zoning
requirement of one acre,
Tney would be only 75* wide instead of
the required 140*,
Tne lots are approximately 540* long,
Tnere is no municipal sewer at the present.
The Harter residence is to one side*of
the property, causing no iiardship to
anyone else building there,
A 1-3/4 acre lot is too hard for ir. Harter
to maintain as he is near retirement age.
Searles and Gasch were of the opinion that
75* lots were out of context with other
properties in tiie area.
Searles moved. Hays seconded, tliat Mr. Harter
obtain a written opinion from the neighbors
as listed on iiis application and that they
appear again on September 5, 1972. In
the interim, members study the area closer,
lotion. Ayes (7) - Nays (0).
Ronald Bower represented Bruce Dayton in an
application for a wetlands ordinance variance
for the purpose of dredging a wildlife pond
and depositing the soil on other sites on their
property. Members read the Village Engineer*s
report and recommendations in which he had a
few reservations about the depositing of the
soil on the low land on tne old Valerius resort,
Mr. Bower stated they did not wish to place any
soil at variance with the desires of tne
yillage. Van Nest had reservations about the
impact on any dredging of swamps stating
there just is not enough study done on this to
make a valuation of what harm results from
this in comparison to the value received.

illNUTBS OF A REGULAR MEETING HELD AUGUST 7, 1972
Members agreed that the applications of John
Keller and Rex Ressler be tabled until an
appearance to answer questions by the owners
ot their representatives.
Planner Tom Loucks opened the discussion on
his memo to the Planning Commission regarding
tae three community seminars in September,
Searles asked if he could be heard first as
he had an engagement to keep.
Regarding the September 13, 1972 session No. 1
as itemized on the memo: He was of the opinion
it was a loaded question. He thought the
word **change** could be **keep'* or at least
**keep or change". As written there as an
inference that change is necessary.
Regarding the September 20, 1972 session. No. 1
as itemized on the memo: He was of the opinion
the words "economic independence" needed
clarification leaving the question ambiguous.
In No. 3, he thought a more specific question
would be "V/liere would you change it?",
getting to specifics instead of philosophies.
Regarding the September 27, 1972 meeting. No. 2,
he thought the question was y^Rue and would
not be open to any responses. The purpose
of the seminar was to get responses.
Item No. 3, Members thought the list was too
lengthy and could be grouped better. Dorn
said traffic should be on* the list also.
Van Nest thought all the questions were loaded
toward changes. Discussion was now hold on the
nuances of phasing questions to get the most
input from the community. Further discussion
was held on the type of speakers to use at the
seminars with various members expressing views.
The need for another meeting witli Mr, Loucks
on August 21, 1972 was discussed but left
unanswered.
