France Avenue Dale Gerdin 4221 Beverly Ave. Donald Browne 4135 Leber Lane P. K. Larson 425 N. France Avenue Leonard Greene 309 S. Meadow Lane OBJECTION Questioned whether or not this is a proper subject for a waiver, felt PUD rules and guidelines should be used. Felt that high rise do not pay their way. Measured 90 feet with a balloon and it is mighty high. It is inevitable it will be developed and this proposal is probably the best use of the property. Likened the water tower to the 9 story building as far as height is concerned. The trees that are there are only box - elders and certainly do not beautify the Village. Opposed to a miniture IDS building in the neighborhood. 1 `4 0 Regular Meeting of the Village Council, July 17, 1972 OBJECTOR OBJECTION Philip Lysne Model of the architects seemed 303 Sunnyridge Lane to be in error in that there is not a buffer of trees between the houses and the proposed building on the Woodstock side.

Nelson 2012 Lilac Drive The Mayor closed the public hearing. OBJECTION Concerned with the added stress on the schools. No sidewalks in the area; noted the blind inter- section in the area because of the hill. Ecology is a valid area of interest. Who is paying for the ecology? It is the decision of the Village to make use of the land properly. Wants a Condominium in Golden Valley and can't find one. Concern over traffic accidents. 76 units is too many, concessions should be made without letting it go through. What will happen to the exits on 100 when they up -grade T.H. 100 ten years from now?
