Mr. Dennis Bentley of Deans was present. They already have approval for parking lot on lot next to them and have graveled it down last fall. They want to get approval for layout of blacktop and engineering and elevations. There is a letter from Baxter & Woodman which was sent to Deans and also to Inspector Schaller. They must pitch it to run to back of lot along railroad tracks. Lot is 80 X 155.

This is a 26 acre parcel with some lots the minimum size of 13,000 square feet up through some lots 22,000 or larger in wooded area. There are the two Hoist residences on the property which would be incorporated into it, one on a three-acre parcel and one on one acre. This is on Huntley-Algonquin Rd. extension to west 1/4 mile which they would like to extend into subdivision. There will be sewer and water. This contiguous to Zimmerman property. There are 37 total lots. The plan shows three dead *nd streets so could be extended in future, the board suggested not having all of these. The frontage on lots is minimum of 90 feet and in cul-de-sac with set backs of 90 feet  The Mayor suggested a T-end at one dead end by Union Special westerly edge instead of a cul-de-sac and the board suggested eliminating other dead end into

2. Rodney Drendel who donated his time as the auctioneer.
3. All the donators of the items auctioned.
4. The people who attended.
