A9r. Pinch, �illage �ssessor� was present. Mr, Boblett and �r. A�1vin l�ooty,
representing the petitioners� also attended.
� The g�oup v�..��r�d the praper��, appro�ima�el� 106 acres l�ing ea�t�rl� of
Lakevi.ew I3eights Add. �rhieh �as prespo�ed as the fut�.re lc�ea�io� of a
research c��rater and pilot plant at the 3ast regula� �aeeting. Mr. Boblett
ad�rised the Co�unissior� that he ti�s still not free te disclose the na�nae
of the compar�p invole��d. He did reafirm the information given at �he last
mee�;ing but had little more to �dd.
Discuss3on in�laided the problems of traffic thx�. adjac�nt area.s' s�r��t�
thru �d aroun.d �l�e prvperty and the resta�ietioa on heights of b�.i1.d3.rrg�.
It was�opiriimn c�f the �ommi�siou tha� the logical t��:r�eet3on o�t raffi� �le�t
from the prmposed development rao�ld be to Cour�ty �oad 18 and tha� the plans
f0r the developmen� should be made wi.tka this in m3nd. Regarding streets�
P�r. Boblett advised tha� �liere �ould be no ob�ectio�s to dedicati.ra� land for
streets along the perimeter of the propert�� bu� i� would be undersireabl�
to have s-�reet� go3ng thr��ithe prop�rty. Eagardi.ng height of buildings,
the petition requests �h�t thes�e be no restrict3.o� on height of buildin�s.
When agked r�h� this requ�st �as �ade� Mr. Boblett said �ha� there wex�e ao
� immedi�te pl ans for b�.ildings hi�her than 2 0� 3 stor3.es; but, �o�e time
in t�.e fi�.t�e, a to�rrer or higher building might be n�cessar�. It �as the
opinion of �he �o�unis�ion that a restrict3on on �he he3ght of bui.Idings in
this are�. �hould be set at so� reasonable fi�a.re �rhieh would be acceptable
ta �h� Compan� aa�d the V311age. B�r.��ch action, the new ordinanee probably
. �rovld be in le�s 3eopard� than if no res�Griction �as set. It was felt that
thi.s problem should be �aken np �r3.th the �i]lage .Attvrne�.
Mr. Boblett indi�eted that if the request for �oning was appro�ed, the
�ompany �ould begin preparation of plana w3th �he first b�.ildin� schedtaled
fQr construetion very soon. The r�mainder of the dev�lopmen� would be on a
5 �ear plan and �oul.d involve 10 to 12 buildings at a total. cost of 15 to 20
millio8 dollars. Building� would be of the colleg� campu� typ� with exte�iors
of brick� stainless steel and glass. H�s reaFfis�med h3.s estimate that niti-
� mate �mplo��nt �rould be abomt l,000.
