I. COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN DISCUSSION.
e Village Manager asked P inner Don Brauer to briefly review the
procedures and product of the Comprehensive Guide Plan sessions which
occurred during 1967 and 1968. Mr. Brauer then presented a condensed
version of the material that was submitted to the community at the
final public hearing on the Guide Plan and specifically noted those
sections of the material that had impact on the Guide Plan elements
in the Bryant Lake area. He also presented an analysis of the Bryant
Lake environment noting particularly those elements of that environment
which he felt the Village should make every effort to retain, regardless
of the nature of the urban use of the land. He commented that the intent
of the Guide Plan proposals was to achieve the objectives that he felt
were shared by the Bryant Lake area residents ; namely, the preservation
of many of the natural amenities existing on the now undeveloped
• properties.
Mr. Don Sorenson, Mr. Pay Pauly, and Mr. Dick Smith, presented a series
of petitions signed by almost all of the residents in the Bryant Lake
and Topview areas, stating their objections to the Guide Plan proposals
for land use in the Bryant Lake area and asking that the Planning
Commission and Council take the necessary action to revise the Guide Plan.
They specifically objected to the elements of the Guide Plan which
suggested multiple family as an appropriate use for the lands on the
southerly shore of Bryant Lake and on the south side of Vall*y View Road
just west of 494. They asked that these lands be reclassified as half
acre single family.
Following a 1,unc�thy general discussion on the Guide Plan, specifically
as it is relates to the Bryant Lake and Topview areas, it was agreed that
the Planning Commission would meet with representatives of the three
neighborhood's involved at a special meeting to be held Monday, October
27, 1969, at 7 :30 P.M. , at the Village Nail.
The petitioners indicated that they would select five or six persons
to attend the meeting and represent their interests and objectives.
Meeting adjourned at 10:30 P.M.
