l02 -2- The land does not indicate it is practical to use for residential and would create a hardship as far as sewerage itc. The Village would be opening a can of worms to more high density, tic tac housing. i~~ir. Pat LaConti, 320 S.O.Ia1. Center, sai d I thought it would be a good time to have my say. For the past three or four years I've been trying to get back what I had, commercial zoning. I have spent much time and money on this. .~~11 I can say is, we have got to prepare ourselves for the future and we need protection for what we have and our investments. I offered alternate plans but no one listened. I'm appealing to the people here to consider that I'm making plans for the future. ~°~hat can we have? I have spent money to appeal and people should be advised to what we really want to do. I•~Ir. I3oward Schultz, 450 S.O.I~1. Center, said these newcomers need to be advised to the complete evaluation of the land. He said a great percent of that area cannot be changed because it is already established. He said Charlie Studen (Don Ray Products) has been kept from exaandinct and he is a source of revenue for the Village. His building is not an eye- sore and he shouldn't be treated like he has been. He said the money put out to appeal should be used to update the Village. He said I~~eis- bercl's home is a multi-family home and his own property has ten different uses. He went on to say no one was going to force him into anything. ?~Ir. Edward Schultz_ 6862 Pietro Park F'rive. said I have come a full circle in this area and most of the Villagers and I agree with Ben Reich to be in harmony. The Villagers need to be heard. He told Council they were the servants of the people. The Civic League has been harrassed because they were backing up the Voice of the Villagers. He said Judge IZrenzler came to his home and suggested if he~:were to keep quiet that he would see that premium homes were built in the area.. The Civic League would not compromise. They turned him down and stood up for the Village history. He said what is this all about. You may but on your armor but can be assured that come election night the Voice of The Village will put on their armor. TfIrs~> Lee Leopardi, 510 S.O.ri., asked why Schultz feels he needs to threaten the Council, she is the one who lives next door and it's her rights that should be considered. r,~r. Robert r~.reckel, 522 ~,orn Lane, asked "compared to the cost of the litigation up to now, whould an appeal be a small portion of the liti- Tdr. Byrnes said what really occurred was this case was heard by a -judge. who passed away. it was presented to another -judge who died. and then to Judge ~ingale. who made the decision. He said all the work is done but research would have to be made of what has happened since the decision. He said the cost would be negligible to pursue the appeal. Doctor I:arfes, 6775 i-iickory Hill Drive, stated that he had called his neighbors and they were totally in favor of the appeal. PIr. No Tombazzi. 67F1 Metro Park Drive, said everybody thinks it's fantastic to live in P•Iavfield Village. Is it, do you think, because it's a residential Village or because it's known as an industrial area?
