The west side development has not been pursued because of the lack of sewer facilities on that side of the lake. It is hoped that this area can be developed in the not too distant future. Mr. Barovanski who owns lot 20, asked what happens to the families who bought on the Golf Course? He had bought his lot because it was on the golf course and now he finds that there will be houses on the side of him and behind him and the golf course has been moved. _Mr. Bush said there are 6 owners that this change will affect, but there will be public lands to the depth of 300' behind his home. It is regrettable that it isn't a golf course, but there is no economical way to continue unless there is a change in platting plans. Mr. Bush said he was sure that the company would be glad to sit down with these people and talk over their problem. Mrs. Borvanski said they had bought their lot because it was an end lot and this would afford the peace and quite for her husband since he is a heart patient. Mr. Bush said the proposed Chan; -•e would change the usage of the land from 110 to 118 units in the townhouse to 35 to 40 sinf-le family dwellings. Mr. Lombardi asked if the golf course had been shortened in yardage because of the new plans. Mr. Bush said the back 9 holes had been shortened by about 450 yars. Mr. Lombardi wanted to know if the house that would be built in the new plat would be of comparable value to the ones al-eady there. Mr. Bush said they would be representative of the homes there now. MLr. Lombardi commented that they had trouble selling the golf course lots and how did they propose to sell them with a buffer zone? Mr. Bush said he had no answer. He felt that the lack of a utility system was the biggest deterent to selling. He felt that as soon as the utility system had been accepted by the Village one of their main problems would be solved. Mr. Carley had looked over the map of the porposal and it would require additional lines. Mr. Bohjanen said that the plan would have to be presented to the P O Board. Mr. Zelinka asked if they could appear on the 20th. Mr. Bush said this would be fine. The Clerk was insturcted to contact Mr. McLean as to the time and then call Mr. Dielenthis. Mr. Jaworski moved to put the U. ,q. Takes Development on the .Ceptember 20th agenda of the PO Board. Seconded by Mr. 7elinka. Carrier. Mr. Bush requested that an early_ hearing be held as soon after the 27th as possib -le. Mr. Locher said there must be a new publication and remailing; the soonest it would be held would be 14 days from the 22nd. This would be October 6th. Could be held on the 9th of October. Mr. Bush said they would like to get started on this as soon as possible and would get back to the Council sometime the week of the 25th. Mr. 7elinka asked if the Village would incurr any legal liability. Mr. Locher said No; if there were any liability it would occur against the company. Mr. Bush was asked about the discrepancy in the total figures; We must stay with the figure of $R459,516.56. Mr. Bush replied that they realized this and their figures were flexable enough to be able to resolve the difference. Mr. Locher said the auditor will accept assessments until the end of November; the Village isn't in any financial problem even if the assessments aren't made this year. There is enough money to pay the interest on the bonds. Mr. Locher assured the people in the audience that no amount of this assessment would fall on them. Their only cost would be for the water meters and a deposit to cover one to two months usage; this later amount would be returned to them if they sold or moved. 1 1
