Mr. Luce stated thuc since the July meeting, the staff has met with Brauer
and Associatas, Mr. Vicoorsen, Carl Dale, and a proup of residants. He stated that
nego tiaLions toward a c"tproadse nf any sort appear to be "stuck", as no one will
give one way or anothen He indicated that the resident's objections were taken into
considerarion by the developer, resulting in a proposal of three apartment buildings
an the north slope of chc hill, and added that although no other development would
occur on the hill at this times thtaf is opposed to a concept involving a high
density ct apartments located near the Crosstown Higbway. He stated that in his
opinion townhouses should be built on the hill, which would tend also to reduce
the apattment density, aud conclKed that che latest proposal would not appear to be
in the best intereses of the Village; the staff cannoo therefore recommend approval
of the developmenc of whree apartment buildings on the north slope of the hilL.
He indicrted that with some madificacions, che original proposal appears to be the
best proposal for all cuncerned,
Mr. Viccorsen acated that alrOugh the original proposal is an excellent
project, he will eliminata the three townhouses nearest the existing single family
development and will delete the westerly most tavnl�icuzs-es for five years until the
