if??? "If we will Apt keep the spirit of eo-operation and ttood-will and all work together we can do mach to pre- serve our city from the invasion of undesirable building moms. We are in the tine of the moving increas- ing population. Realizing this, .we urged and worked for the annexation of the territory adjacent to the city for the reaaon that we desired to pre- serve the general ‘scheme of land- seaping with curved streets, park- waye, and large radio-ea on‘the eon- ners. How well we have succeeded la evidenced by a trip through. any at the new "bdiviaiooa that have been laid out and paved.

You have a Zoning commission whose bullies: it is to put upon the ex- pansion of the business district and make its recommendation to the coin- cil. We also hove the Appeal board, to appeal to from the decision of the; Zoning commission, and these things no not enacted into law until they one finally presented to the ieouncil, tor its, approval and the passing of the I ordinance. l, "it is a great thing for Highland Park, that her citizens will take an interest in her main. by ‘coming out in such numbers as are represented here, for the purpose of considering what we ahall do to protect our city from the invasion of the factory and the apartment. I think there has been lone misunderstanding and some mis- apprehension created in the minds of many of you that auch a thing was contemplated. I have heard state- ments made over the telephone. in the press. and to me personally, that the‘ bars were down-that the new addi- tions to the city would be fUUd with factories, boarding houses, and apart- ment houses. No such thing is con- templated, and it is just such a con- dition we are trying to avoid by get- ting together tttnight-and considering this amendment to the zoningordi- nance. You understand. of course, that we are already operating under a zoning ordinance. We have found', by experience that it needed clarify-l itttt--it needed re-writing, no that our! building department and entrineering) department could have more definite/ knowledge.

Considering the value at which had is held in the district, it is felt by progressive business men that and: iii. striction not only would Mud the development of the district and the city but the nilituto “that the general appemnce of the Minus district. l I I _ Among suggestions made regarding' l the restricting of apartment buildings; lis one that in the business district 'such restriction should not prevent i erection of business blocks with apart- ments on the second or third stories. It is pointed out that there is no great demand for ofttees in this city at pres- ent, but that'there is demand for' apartments over business Jruildinga. If construction of buildings in We dis- trict did not permit arrangement of ( second floors into apartments there would be no incentive to erect build- ing: more than one story in height, nnd_tbc_ business district would soon ' . Then the suggestion for reserving a portion of the city for' apartment buildings came up and this suggestion brought out the fact that our citizens are almost unanimously opposed to flat buildings being allowed anywhere in the city. The amended ordinance allows such buildings to be erected in the present business section but Ilimits their height to three stories or forty-five feet. It alto provides that iii; more than twenty-four families yshould be housed on an acre of lands [Considerable was said about these re-1 strictions, some speakers 'ttet) 'that 'the allowed heightwas too low, Sand the intensity of occupancy was "ttadequate, especially on land selling iat present prices. The atenoitrapur's report will be typed and turned over to the Zoning committee as soon as possible where the warious remarks will be considered and reeommendts, tions made to the city commissioners who will have the whole subject ready for consideration at the next meeting, when it is hoped there will be another] large attendance. that this meeting. which is one of the finest that I have ever seen in High- land Park, will help lin developing Ithet spirit of "tgg,'lt,iot and good- will that will continue keep our l city. a place for what it was intended l, to be---a city of homes." ' ' Points Considered , The principal point brought up at the meeting was the extending of the business district so " to include the two frontages on West Central ave- nue west from Green Bey road toi Hickory street. There seemed to be ,no objection to this, but any sugges- tion to increase the business district east of the railway tracks Was vigou‘ ously opposed.
