direction, although not an unanimous consensus, was in evidence as a <br />result of the meeting and this was later substantiated after tabulating <br />the returned planning questionnaires. The desired goals are as follows: <br />1. Maintain the open, green areas and the amenities associated with <br />low density development. (Retain the "rural atmosphere" in the <br />eastern portion of the Village, much as it is today.) <br />2. Encourage the retention of low - medium density, single family <br />development in the western portion of the Village. <br />3. Permit multiple family development in a few selected locations in <br />the soon to be sewered areas of the Village. <br />4. Advocate the creative use of open space and the outright acquisition <br />of lake frontage for park and recreational pprposes. <br />5. Provide for better shopping facilities located in close proximity <br />to the existing and developing residential areas. <br />6. Develop a thoroughfare plan which will be adequate for the future <br />needs of the Village and adjacent communities. <br />7. Control the land use along all major thoroughfares (existing and <br />proposed). <br />8. Provide for a better Village tax base, through a more diversified <br />land use plan. <br />9. Promote and encourage quality business and industrial development <br />in the Village. <br />10. Adopt a comprehensive Village development plan which provides for <br />a good mixture of land uses and update the Village zoning ordinance. <br />B. POLICY <br />In order to attain the desired goals, it is necessary to consider what <br />official governmental actions are required. Such actions are the <br />official policy with respect to development and maintenance of the <br />Village. The following are recommendations based upon apparent citizen <br />desires, professional planning study of the community, and discussions <br />with Village officials: <br />1. The present "open atmosphere" of the Village is due to several <br />factors: <br />a. Abundance of lakes, streams and drainageways. <br />b. Presence of a high water table. <br />C. Extensive areas of unstable, unbuildable soils. <br />d. Areas of heavy woodlands. <br />e. Prominence of a farming economy. <br />f. Existence of gun clubs, gravel pits, game farm, etc. <br />15 <br />
