"Central Winnetka district--584,141 square feet, being approximately 13.4 acres, which at 72 families to the acre, would accommodate 965 families. "Total 2,007 families. Territory Described "These figures include everything in the district zoned commercial with the exception of the land occupied by the Administration building, that which is owned by the Chicago North Shore, Milwaukee Electric railroad, lying both north and south of Elm street, the land occupied by the Iredale storage warehouse on Center street, which is a four-story building, and the land owned and occupied by the Standard Oil Co., at the northeast corner of Tower road and Linden avenue. "After computing the business as above, I have gone over the various business districts, and in my opinion there are now included in the busi- ness area, as computed above, quite a number of buildings less than three stories high, most of them being two stories, which will remain as they are for a great many years, as they are high class buildings, too good to be wrecked, and to which it would not be practical to add a third story. "I find that the land occupied by these two-story buildings of a more or less permanent character, has a total area in the Hubbard Woods dis- trict of 80,000 square feet, or about 1.84 acres. And in the Central Winn- etka district, an area of 98,425 square feet, or about 2.25 acres. There are no two-story buildings in the Indian Hill district. Commercial Statistics "Deducting these areas from the above figures, I find the following re- garding "C" commercial: "Hubbard Woods--6.16 acres, to ac- commodate 444 families. "Indian Hill--6.47 acres, to accom- modate 466 families. "Central Winnetka district--11.15 acres, to accommodate 803 families. "Making a total in the three districts of 1,713 families. This includes the three-story buildings now erected and being erected. "] find that in the entire village there is just a trifle less than five acres zoned industrial. In my opinion none of this will be improved with build- ings containing apartments, as there is such a demand for coal and material yards, oil stations and other uses which would make the property so undesir- able for residence purposes that there will probably be no residence devel- opment." A further interesting compilation of statistics in the form of a summary of a portion of the foregoing is shown in the statement, that if all the "C" commercial area was developed with three-story buildings, under the pres- ent regulation of 72 families per acre, with an average of two persons to the family occupying apartments, the min- imum number of persons living in apartments would be only 3426. This includes the huildings now underway. Also, that in the residential section, in both the "A" and "B" districts, on the basis of six families to the acre and with the average of five persons to the family, there would be a total of 8486 families and a total of 42,430 people. The ratio of people residing in apartments it was shown, would be only seven and one-half percent, as compared to ninety-two and one-half percent living in residence properties. In addition to being. colorful and beautiful, tile walls and floors in the home have the supreme quality of absolute desirability.
