About 4 years ago, they had engaged David Loecks, who is now head of the Metropolitan Planning Commission, to make a survey and, at that time, ?t4r. Loecks advised a "V.~ait and SeeF4 Policy. 'rhe Commission and the Council now feel that it is time to set up a definite talan with restrictive ordinances. Cartwright then introduced. Howard Dahlgren, senior planner, of Garl L. Gardner & Associates Thorshov and Cerney, Inc., the firm which the Village has engaged to make a survey of our Village and recommendations for land use. Dahlgren showed slides of shopping centers and. industrial centers they had planned; what they considered good and poor resi- dential layouts, pointing out the advantages and disadvan- tages, and outlined their recommendations for transitional zoning. 1 1 There were questions from the-floor as to what the plans were for the ~3ifulk Property, Nilsen replied that no legal steps had been taken by the Village to acquire the Bifulk property for parking purposes; but that the possibility of authorizing the use of that property for parking purposes by special permit if and when parking should become a prob- lem had been discussed,zrrith the thought in mind that a well kept, screened parking lot would be more acceptable to the residents than having cars parked in front of their homes along residential streets. Utecht read Rees' letter. Nilsen pointed out that there were many things to consider - the convenience of a shopping center in the village, the businessmen's investment and, most certainly, the interests of the residents, No one can definitely predict what changes the fug-.ure will bring.
