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.
