REZONING APPROVED NORTHWEST'CORNER GOLF AND MT. PROSPECT ROADS:
Alderman Bell made the following report."Your Committee on Municipal Development
has investigated the. above and has found. residential zoning is unrealistic on
the corner of two thorfares such as Golf and Mt. Prospect Road. Revision• of
existing C-2 ordinance gives protection'to our 'proximity ordinance' and
therefore no gas station could be placed on this corner. We, your Committee
on Municipal Development, therefore recommend Commercial Zoning C-2 be approved
for this area."" On motion by Alderman Bell and seconded by. Prickett, the
Council approved the report.
ANNEXATION FAIRE AREA:, Alderman Bell made the following report. 'Your Committee
on Municipal Development has investigated the above and has found no practical
means can be devised to place money in escrow, to assure improvements being
installed after annexation. Size of area is one mile long and between 1/4 to
3/8 miles in width, being only about 2/5ths developed and problems would
therefore be much less than in similar previous annexations . Annexation of
this area would allow city to control future development to meet existing
standards. We, your Committee on Municipal Development, therefore feel the
people of this area are sincere in their efforts to improve this area. Any
escrow agreement would only work a hardship on those who are sincere and would
not be binding on the others. We, therefore feel the advantage of super-
vising the future development of this area out weighs the possible problems

problems which may arise and recommend annexation of the property as set forth
