R-4 MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT ZONING: Alderman Blue made the following report: "Your Committee on Municipal Development has investigated the above and has found Rthat,.,. under Sect. 3D of the Zoning Ordinance of 1960 '-4 Multiple Family Residence District,' we find Paragraph #3D.3 which reads as follows: 'Height Regulations. No Building shall exceed three stories or 45 feet except as hereinafter Provided.' Because it is vital to the welfare of the city that the continued growth and development of the community with attendant changes in land use take place, we feel that this ordinance is unduly restrictive, and that the wording of the ordinance should be changed to restrict building height only to 45 feet, thus freeing more land for use as lawns, recreation areas, parking, etc. without changing the basic character of an R-4 neighborhood. We, your Committee on Municipal Development, therefore recommend that the matter of the change in the wording be referred to the Zoning Board, so that the corrections can be considered according to these recommendations." On motion by Alderman Blume and seconded by Luellen the report was approved. At request of Alderman Tistle, on motion by Alderman Blume and seconded by Tietle, some lots on Dean Street which are zoned commercial, are referred to the Zoning Board to change to Residential.

COMPLAINTS OF SPEEDMILLER AND LEAHY CIRCLE: Alderman Jackson made the following report: "Your Committee on Streets and Traffic has investigated the above and has found Leahy Circle forms a T intersection with Millers Road which acts as a through street for the area. There isn't any posted speed limit on Millers Road west of Mount Prospect Road until the area posted for 20 MPH during school hours. That the combination of free entry from Leahy Circle to Millers Road and the lack of speed signs on Millers Road at that point makes the area one of high accident potential. That while there is still a few hundred yards of farm land on the north side of the Road, the south side is thick with residential. We, your Committee. on Streets and Traffic, therefore recommend that the City Attorney be instructed to draw the ordinances necessary to accomplish the following: 1) cause Leahy,Circle traffic to stop for traffic on Millers Road. 2) Restrict the traffic on Millers Road from Mount Prospect Road to`the City limits to 30 MPH with the understanding that this ordinance will in no way disturb the school hours speed to 20 MPH."

TO VACATE 6 FEBT OF CHESTNUT ST.: Alderman Jackson made the following report: "Your Committee on Streets and Traffic and Municipal Development investigated the above and has found that the dedicated width of the street at present is 60 feet. The requested vacation would leave a width of 54 feet. The City Engineer advised the Camunitteee that because commercial areas (such as the East side of Chestnut) rarely have large parkways the requested'vacation would leave sufficient area for an adequate street (30 feet), sidewalks on both sides of Chestnut and a normal parkway on the West aide of Chestnut in front of the multiple family dwellings standing there now. That this matter came to the attention of the"City Council through a citizen who discovered that an important part of his building rests on the property he proposes to purchase.
