-- February 20, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 2 BOARD WOULD ENLARGE SOUTH STORE DISTRICT (Continued from page 1) "The majority of its residents, in tak- ing up their residence in the village being actuated in the first instance with the desire to get away from the crowd- ed, congested and commercial activities of the larger cities, and the residents of the Indian Hill section in particular have indicated decisively that they are unalterably opposed to an enlargement of the present commercial area. "Before making specific recommenda- tions, let us consider the facts relied upon in the majority report for recom- mending a commercial area of a size which by no stretch of the imagina- tion would ever be necessary for the needs of the community in which it is situated, and for which, under present conditions, there can certainly be no present need. Calls Computation Inaccurate "Items 1 to 7 in the majority re- port cover the only affirmative reason given by those recommending a large commercial area. These seven items are an attempt by means of figures to show that the possible number of families to be served by this com- mercial area may some time in the far distant future be sufficient to re- quire a commercial district of this size. "If this were a separate municipality these figures might possibly be relied upon to some extent, but in a com- munity of this kind where it is only one part of a municipality, where the half mile radius referred to overlaps at least two other sections served by other commercial centers, and where the community is adjacent to a metrop- olis of the size of Chicago, with the best possible transportation facilities, this manner of arriving at the amount of commercial area is not only inac- curate but inadequate. These figures are based on six families per acre, when it is a known fact that practically all residential development in Winnetka is on a basis of fewer families per acre than six." Mr. Davis' report stated further that the members of the Indian Hill Im- provement association, who constitute a very large majority of the property owners and residents in the district, had flatly voted against a larger com- mercial area and that their wishes should be considered rather than those of non-resident owners in the new sub- division, who had bought for specula- tive purposes. He recommended that lots 1 and 2 in Block 2 and lot 8 in block 1 be zoned commercial and that the remainder of the property be zoned residential. The report of the board and the dis- senting report by Mr. Davis were re- ceived by the Village council and taken under consideration. There was a short discussion of the matter at the meeting and it was held over until the next meeting, at which time it is ex- pected that interested parties on both sides of the question will appear to address the council before final action on the zoning ordinance is taken. Twenty-eight lots in the subdivision have been sold as commercial property and their owners will probably be rep- resented at the meeting, to be held early in March.
