Mr. Rosland stated. the Village Council has just passed a nes ordinance stating there mitst be 100 feet of property on each side of -the Creek. Because of the sanitc ar7 sewer runnings through the raiddl a of ter. Kremer's property the feeling was that the 100 feet could not be given without destroying the proposed plan. Mr. Rosland pointed out that although there was only 50 feet can the east side of the Croek, Iir. Kremer was willing to dedicate approximately 150 Feet on the west side. Mr^.
