II. NIDE MILE CREEK - KREffiER PROPOSAL
Hr. Rosland reviewed to the Board the proposed townhouse development abutting;
Dine [lile Gree6k , a ten acre tract north and east of rabri-Tek . -fir. Kremer,
the developer, is requesting that the bui lings, be allowed to coxae within 50 feet
of the Creek. He his also requesting that this 50 feat be a scenic easement
rather than straight dedication of land to the. Village. 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^.
Kremer pointed out that he is dedicating approximately 30%, of his property to
the Village to accomplish his proposed plan. I4r. Rosland stated he felt the
plan was reasonable but the property should be dedicated on both sides. He did
not recommend an easement.
,After much discussion Dr. Carson moped that we recommend a variance b« granted
for the townhouse plain allowing, the project within 50 feet on, the east side of
the Creels. This 50 feet will, be dedicated to the Village. I1r. Lewis seconded

commendations for 1971. The Board showed concern regarding the total number of
proposed capital improvements and how they would affect the operating revenue.
They requested a comparative budget showing the total capital improvements.
Discussion was held on, league play. Mr. Joe Schueneman, President of the

to have guaranteed income. Action is now being taken this year to eliminate
