• <br /> direction , although not an unanimous concensus , was in evidence as a <br /> result of the meeting and this was later substantiated after tabulating <br /> the returned planning questionnaires .

(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 purposes . <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 zgning ordinance . <br /> B .

The present "open atmosphere" of the Village is due to several <br /> factors : . <br /> a . Abundance of lakes , streams and d ra i nageways . <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 />
