"Mr. Lyle Larsen, $30 Rhode Island Avenue South, has
requested that the Village vacate Erie Avenue between Rhode

this residential area to Wi.nnetka Avenue."

"The general road pattern shown to the Committee is acceptable.
It consists of an extension of Sandburg Road to the center of the

with the west side of the rectangle going narth to Medicine Lalce

Long Ran�e Commi.ttee Chaa.rman Velz gave the following report:
"The Long Range Committee recommends approval of the building
location as shown on Plan X-T. Further setback would work undne
hardship on the use of the �roperty as planned, and there is reason
to believe that a minimum right-of-way acquisition by the Highway
Department would leave a reasonable setback from the future service
.road. A minimum expan�ion of the right-of-way in this area should
be encouraged.'�
