-2- Discussim Shennan Goldberg, Village Engineer, stated that Mr. May of the State Highway Department has indicated that the developer should cOlI1'lete a study of the necessity or lack of necessity for maintaining the drainage easement at its pre- sent elevation. This study would then be presented to the state for their review prior to any decision being made on the re-conveyance of the easement. Mrs. Demos indicated that the Planner had not received the required landscape plans and contour maps from the developer. Mr. Van Hausen stated that prior to providing all the IOOre technical aspects of the plan and expending additional funds, that the developer would at least like an indication of the feelings of the Conunission towards the total concept of the plan. Mr. Kellett indicated that the Commission has recommended approval on a project with less technical documentation being presented; ice., View Con. Mr. Eagles felt that the developer's request for an expression of sentiment on the part of the Commission was a legitimate one.

Mr. Van Hausen indicated that a little over 9 acres of the total 17 acre site was covered by water.

Warren Kelso, 2454 North Pascal, asked if there was not a restriction on the height of buildings within the Village. Mr. Kelso granted that the property was not a good area for single family homes, but he hoped that the Cotmcil would consider the people in the area and their homes.

Mr. Edlund indicated that the cost of the property, because of its location, would be prohibitive in its development for single family hOJres.
