described as Lot 16, Block 1, Baldur Park.
TAe lot has been in single separate owner-
ship for many years. T:iere was a summer
House on the premises that lie removed last
December at the insistence of the Building
Inspector. The density study showed that
with the exception of three parcels, which
consisted of two lots and one large parcel
at the end of the point, the residences
in Baldur Park consisted of one lot corre.
sponding to the subject lot in size and width.
Discussion was not held on what length of
time a variance was good for and whether
a conditional use permit could be issued
in lieu of a variance. It was brought out
that a residence was a permitted use, and
as such, could not be conditioned. It was
noted that the next item on the agenda was
a variance on lot size and width granted in
1965. Some people bought the property and
were told to apply for a variance so they
could be issued a building permit.

Members unanimously agreed to table the
William Near matter of service station

applied for.
Herfurth reported that ;ie had attended tie
National Home Builders Convention in San
Francisco and had a great opportunity to
converse with knowledgeable people on PUD
ordinances and also to view some sites in
Kansas City and Salt Lake City. Since there
were so many variables in PUD ordinances, he
was of the opinion that the committee rough
up a PUD ordinance and let the Planning
Commission give opinions as to the desirability.
Ile posed a number of questions:
1. Does the Village wish to allow any increase
in density for amenities such an ordinance
would give?
2. Would PUD projects have to be zoned in by
areas or obtained by special use permits in
any sew►ered area of the Village?
3. To what extent would the PUD ordinance allow
the developer to intermingle commercial,
industrial and residential usage?
