OSTRANDER GIVES REPORT ON RECENT PLAN CONVENTION At the suggestion of the Mc- Henry County Regional Plan* ning commission, the Building and Zoning committee of the county board recommended to the county board of supervisors that a county official be authorized to attend the American Society of Planning Officials convention recently in Houston, Texas* The board authorized the attendance of Ralph Qstrander of the Planning commission to represent McHenry county at this meeting. Upon his return, Mr. Ostrander made the following written report. It is printed in part. "My first reaction to the thirty- third annual meeting of American Society of Planning Officials (ASPO) was one of awe. Just the size of the meeting was inspiring. There were 2,500 delegates from every state of the Union including, Alaska, Hawaii and Pureto Rico. "Many of the individuals that I talked with suggested that our planning Commission join ASPO. They stated that we would periodically receive technical information, which would be worth much more than the membership cost. LET PITFALLS "Some zoning pitfalls to be avoided were listed. "Non con-forming uses should not be made more objectionable by allowing increases in the non-conformity. Some types of advertising signs are included in this category, and a suggestion was mad^ that a formula be developed allowing a certain number of square inches in a sign based on the number of square feet in the properly. "A statement was made that all comprehensive plans and comprehensive zoning should be updated every five years. "Annually it costs an estimated 3 billion dollars to handle solid waste disposal problem in the United States. Disposal ranks third behind schools and highways as an expense to the public. Each day 8 lbs. of solid waste per person accumulates. This material has to be collected and processed. The per person, per day, quantity of waste is increasing. B is estimated fay 1980 the Northwestern Illinois Metropolitan area will have to provide space for 240 million cubic yards just to accommodate the increase. Translated to more understandable terms the increase alone will cover 640 acres or a section of land to a depth of 24 feet. "One of the big dangers in waste disposal is the pollution of both air and water. The sanitary land fill method of disposal is most satisfactory method currently used, most stateis have outlawed open dumps. "I was very surprised to learn that Illinois is about thfe only state in the midwestiera section of the United States that does hot have a State Planning association which holds periodic meetings. "Professor John W. Reps; Cornell university, presented a controversial paper. In his opinion, our present zoning procedures will never accomplish our goals. He believesthatpublic Building commissions in each county should buy all the land surrounding every urban community. The development of this land should be planned including schools, churches, streets, etc. The Building commission should be given the FOREMOST S M £ R i C ' S LARGEST CHAIN OF INDEPENDENT LIQUOR DEALERS On Sale at This Store Only - Fri., Sot.^ Sun. 4512 W.

Consider giving the gardening Dad or Grandad a good set of earthworkers that includes a spade, a rake, a hoe, a cultivator and a weeder.

"GRAVY TRAIN" ACT The 701 program has been called the "Gravy Train Act" for planners and has been referred to as the "Full Employment Act" for planners. It was originally designed to stimulate local planning. The first appropriation was 5 million dollars. In ten years this had increased to 50 million dollars, and it is now 150 million dollars. The speaker appraised the planning work done under 701 in the larger communities as follows: 10 percent excellent, 20 percent good - 40 percent fair' - 30 percent poor. In 1960 there were thirteen cities in Iowa using the program. In 1967 there are 163. The expense of the program has increased from 20 cents to 80 cents per capita, A summarization it was also suggested that the states should take over the program from the federal government. "In the sessions dealing with the legal aspects of planning and zoning the consensus of the experts was that petitions for changes in land-use should be referred to the Planning commission, and that the commission would be responsible for conducting hearings and making recommendations to the legislative body.
