Mr. Kager, Woodlake Sanitary Service, stated he supports a starting time as
a tool to be used by the Police Department to keep people off the streets at
late hours; however, he would like to compromise on the starting time. He is
in favor of a starting time of 6:00 A.M,, because in the summer months heat is
a factor to be considered and the exposure to neighborhood children would be
lessened if they could start earlier.

Regular Meeting of the Village Council, March 4, 1974
Warren E, Hanson, 1824 Spring Valley Circle, stated refuse haulers are still
collecting too early at present. He felt that children did not cause any
problem to the refuse haulers, or begin pickup at 9:00 A.M., when the child-
ren are in school. Rotate routes so that the same people do not have the
early pickup. Mr. Hanson felt that 7:00 A.M., was a fair starting time for
pickup.
Kathy Herje, 8805 Elgin Place, felt that 7:00 A.M., was a reasonable time to
begin refuse pickup,
Dick Hallen, Dick's Sanitary Service, stated that if the pickup hours are
set too late, the haulers run into problems with heavy traffic. Also, in
the spring and fall longer hours are needed to make the pickups.

ing: Ingress and egress on the site, setbacks, present surrounding zoning,

ed there is approximately 211,000 square feet of land area and 143 parking
spaces are provided (total for existing and proposed parking). The proponent
also discussed proposed storm ponding plan, longitudinal site plan, ground
and second, third, and fourth floor plans, and typical unit plans. The East,
West and South elevations of the proposed building were also discussed.

age, and density, He stated that the property is presently zoned Open Deve-
lopments however, it is shown as Residential PUD on the Village Comprehensive
Plan. He stated the original proposal was for 172 single family units which
would equal 5.9 units/acre. Mr. Hawks then displayed the revised plan show-
ing less units, revisions in the cul-de-sac as requested by the Fire Depart-
ment, removal of certain units which the Planning Commission felt were locat-
ed too close to the tennis courts.

was a good land use concept for this property.

ty to the south,
