on this noted. The plan now calls for Community Store rezoning at the corner
of 70th and France for a gasoline filling station and one other service develop-
ment which Mro Stow said he would .rather not divulge at this time but which
would come ;under Cofinewnity Store zoning as defined in Village Ordinances.
Mr. Stow said the filling station would be approximately 1500 x 2000 with a
setback of approximately 100 feet. He said he also plans to have a barber
shop, a beauty shop, or maybe a laundry and dry cleaning pick-up service in
the basement of the apartment building. He would have a small grocery and
perhaps a, coffee shop to serve the tenants. He said the apartment building
would be built according to FHA specifications. He also said he would with-
draw his request to build double bungalows on all except the four lots on 70th
and on 72nd Streets.
Mr. Wilkinson said that basically he feels this is not a bad plan at all.

recommend the followings
That the land usage of Block 1 be approved, the North half for a Service
Station and the South half for Community Store.
