sketch indicating a planned development layout for approximately
25 acres of the Albert Wentland Estate property located south of
Lembezeder Drive in the SE% of Section 5. It was noted by the
Commission that this property has frontage on Hillendale Drive as
well as Lembezeder Drive, that the existing zoning is RS-2 and that
sewers are available. Mr. Foster also submitted a rezoning pro-
posal which, although not indicated, would presumably be for a
change in the zoning from RS-2 to RSM with an OPD overlay. The
proposal also included economic consideration of multiple family
development as opposed to its development residentially under the
existing zoning.

the buildings will be sold separately and probably be owner-occupied,
that the development will have a community well, that the development
will be conventionally financed, that it will take approximately
two to three years to complete, that the buildings will be of
combination frame and masonry construction, that the density pro-
posal is five units per acre.

of the Earl Hardtke property in and near Oak Ridge Unrecorded
Commission that in 1959 and 1967 several sub-standard lots had
been combined to create single parcels, however, because of the

this division would be adequate in width and lot size. It was
noted that proposed Lot A would have access to East Drive, a road
proposed but not existing at the present time. Mr. Stoehr advised
considerable discussion of a proposed extension of Elm Drive,
that they would be willing to construct this road. There was

will be approximately 3600 to 4300 persons hooked into the system

also pointed out that Muskego will not hook into the metropolitan
system for at least five years, probably longer. As Mr. U'Connor's
proposal indicated 125 dwelling units, this could produce an
additional 500 persons.
