District District One resident inquired as to what the proposed lot size is for the North side of LaBore Road. Mr. Licht replied that the recommendation is that lot size conforms to the existing size of lots in this area, namely 100 feet lots. 13 - There were no questions on District 13. 16 - One resident commented that North side of Round Lake is zoned R1 and that she would like to see the West side zoned R1 as well. Mr. Licht replied that due to shore land regulations this is what probably would happen. There is also a deed restriction on a good portion of the land. One property owner inquiried as to the density per acre involved in the clustering concept. Mr. Licht commented that they are recommending 5 to 8 units per acre. One property owner was concerned that Midwest Planning & Research had suggested the rezoning of some R1 property in District 16 to RB. Residents felt that property currently zoned R1 should remain R1. This also leaves a small strip of land South of Iona Lane which is R1 directly abutting the proposed RB zoning. Residents also questioned why District 16 couldn't be zoned R1 completely. Mr. Licht pointed out several factors that were negative factors in District 16 being zoned R1 - County Road C, the railroad tracks, present zoning on the books for apartments, and the Lake which should be preserved. RB zoning, however, does not preclude residential development. Mr. Licht stated that he felt mid- density, clustered housing was the best use of the land in this area considering the negative factors of District 16. Residents of District 16 also felt very strongly that Iona Lane not be made a through street. One property owner on Iona Lane was concerned that their 1/2 acre lots would be next to land that had a density of 5 to 8 units per acre. She felt this would devaluate her property. The way the land is presently zoned would buffer her from land developed to mid- density, and she felt it should remain that way. 17 - There were no questions on District 17. District District 18 - One property owner commented that the North side of Demont Avenue was zoned commercial, and that there were some residential homes in this area. There should be some type of buffering here. District 19 - There were no questions on District 19. District 20 - One resident commented that approximately 78% of District 20 is apartments. There are also residential homes in the area and he would like to see the remaining open space in District 20 zoned R1. Mr. Licht replied that this would be taken into consideration. 0 r'1_ Page -2-
