The plat committee had previously viewed all aspects of this plat
and most of the members visited the area involvecl. The suggested
strset pattern must be admitted to be detrimental to: 1) Police
and Fire protection, 2) Inconvenience to public use of streets,
and 3) In one aspect, it compounds the undesirable feature of
breaking the continuity of an existing street. The plat does, however,
take the most advantage of the lay of the iand.
After considerable discussion, a motion was made by Shinder, seconded
by Brown to recommend approval of this plat to the Planning Commission
with the following stipulationsr a) Outlots one and two be deeded t�
the Village in the f inal plat, b) Lot 1�, Block 2, having only 9�. feet
of frontage, is recognized as a substandard lot and construction on
any lots in this plat must be comp�eted in compliance with all Village
Ordinances. The mota.on was carried with Member Straw voting "No";'
