ATTORNEY'S REPORT
Attorney Kramer discussed the council 's recent decision to add an
18, 000 square foot lot size into the zoning book entitled
Residential Estate. Attorney Kramer informed the Council members
that it is his recommendation that they title the current one-acre
lot as a Residential Estate and title the 18, 000 square foot lots
as R-1. It is Attorney Kramer's feeling that the term "Estate"
could be mis-understood.
The council members agreed and Attorney Kramer stated he will
prepare the proper ordinances and final vote could be made at the
July 14, 1994 council meeting.
RESOLUTION 94-9
Attorney Kramer stated that he has drawn up a Resolution in IDOT

Friday of each month for five months beginning June 24th.

from Countryside Center stating that the cruise night was a burden
to their businesses. As a compromise to the situation, the
resolution is being proposed to allow direct access off Route 47,
thus alleviating the traffic through the shopping center.
It was noted that any fees involved for items including a police
officer will be paid for by McDonalds.
A motion was made by Alderman Baker and seconded by Alderman
Johnson to pass the resolution to contact IDOT, and allow the
