He in- dicated that if the site were to be developed for muui family it would mean about 100 units on the parcel. The parcel should be a buffer zone of multi family dwell- ings and not a continuation of a commercial use to the west and south. He further emphasized the fact that the Comprehensive Plan designates the property for multi family use. Mr. Eddelman concluded that taking all facts into consideration, that approval should not be granted for this proposal. Mr. Short of BSEH Associates whose fim prepared a report on stom water storage requirements at Zimmerman Lake made a brief presentation outlining the basic conclusions of the report. Mr. Glen Johnson stated that 54% of the land surface was covered with asphalt for building. Mr. Pope indicated that at the time that the Comprehensive Plan was adopted it was anticipated that multiple family was the best use for theproperty, however, times change and new forces come into play which require a flexible attitude on the part of the Commission. Further, that the Comprehensive Plan is not a binding document, but is a guideline to be utilized for future development. He believed the proposal to be a good one and that a very fine job had been done in providing a buffer between the development and the residences to the north. Mr. Membrez indicated that he could see no problems with the proposal and was in favor of it. Personally, he would rather see the proposed development on the site instead of apartments. Mr. V. Johnson felt that the applicant had gone to great lengths to meet the demands of the Commission and that the proposal before the Commission would be a good develop- ment and a good addition to the Village. Mr. George Johnson indicated that the mtersection of 36 and Snelling is a pr:ime area of the Village and he believes that this proposal would be the highest and best use for the parcel. Mr. Kellett also felt that the proposal was the highest and best use for the property, and felt that the plan was an excellent one. Mr. Eagles indicated that the developer had gone a long way to answer the Commission's objections to the previous proposal. He further stated that the Comprehensive Plan is not a final or binding document and that it should be utilized for purposes of guidance.

Presentation Mr. Hans Hagen, President of Ban-Con, Inc. indicated that they are requesting an 11 inch variance on both side yards of all 4 parcels. He stated this was necessary be- cause the house to be built on the lot was a standard home and one of their best sellers.
