Mr. Robert Glazer, 2375 Hillview Road:
Q - What will the Village expect in tax savings on the proposal?
A - Mayor Neisen stated the Village would get approximately 87 of the 60% assessed
valuation, with the remainder going to the school district and the County.
Mr. Steven Kuhl, 5176 Longview Drive:
Q - Will the structure be a two story building?
A - Yes, it could be.
Mr. James Nelson, 5170 Longview Drive asked the Council to consider that the restaurant
could conceivably be open until 1 A.M. and that it would probably be 2 A.M. before
the area is cleared and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet.
Mrs. Dayton Ward, 5177 Red Oak Drive stated that she has never seen a doctors office
located on the 2nd floor above a liquor store.
Mr. Steven Kuhl, 5176 Longview Drive stated that no screening would prevent the smell
from the development.
Mayor Neisen explained that the Industrial Commission and the Council were not desperate
for development, but they were interested in attracting development to the community.
Mr. George Gustafson, 8391 Spring Lake Road stated he was in favor of the shopping
center. If there was a need to compromise he would vote for the liquor license. He
stated that residents expressed concern about extra traffic in the area, yet they
allow their children to ride bikes with no reflectors and to walk in the streets
instead of on the boulevards. Persons too often criticize the person who is out to
make a buck.
Mrs. Harold Hjelle, 5161 Red Oak Drive:
Q - How much police protection would the liquor license warrant?
A - Mayor Neisen stated it was impossible to say.
Mr. Al Hillsdale stated that he was probably paying the most taxes of anyone in the
Village. He said that if this proposal did not go through he was moving out.
Mr. Downing stated that the kids would be worse off with apartments on Longview Drive
because there would be more traffic on Longview with apartments.
Councilman Baumgartner echoed Mayor Neisen's comments that the community was not
desperate for development and the industrial booklet referred to by Mr. Mueller was
put together as an advertising method by Councilman Johnson and Clerk Zylla.
Councilman Baumgartner asked Mr. Schaeffer if he was a business associate of Mr.
Mueller. Mr. Schaeffer said he was commissioned by Mt. Mueller to review the property.
Councilman Baumgartner added that the argument "too many all ready" is not grounds for
denial. He asked Mr. Stein if there was a stand up bar in the restaurant. Mr. Stein
responded yes, there was a bar adjacent to the dining room.
Mayor Neisen stated that he had talked to Councilman Johnson before he left for
California and that Councilman Johnson had told him that unless there is some appreciable
change in the plan he was not in favor of the proposal.
Councilman Hodges stated that he agrees that sometimes compromise is necessary but we
must also set some standards. He felt the business should be located further north,
out of the residential area.
