Plan Commission Discussion Mr. Peter Weinert, Chairman of the Plan Commission,
Sara Lee & M- Regulations reviewed the report of the Plan Commission
dated January 28, 1961, in connection with the
peti t-i;on of Kitchens of Sara Lee, Inc. for the rezoning of the Mercurio -Mi rabel to
tract. He also discussed recommended revisions of the Manufacturing regulations,
stressing the need to consider these matters in the overall plan of the Village's
growth.
After a lengthy discussion, President Whitney summarized the Plan
Commission-Is position as follows:
1. It would be irresponsible to establish a special set of zoning laws
for one industry.
2. The rezoning of the Mercurio- Mirabello tract would require a basic
change in the Master Zoning Plan of the Village, requiring a review
of a 1 1 Manufacturing and 0 & R property, and its influence on nearby
residential property.
President Whitney stated it would be desirable for the Plan Commission,
in its final report on the Sara Lee rezoning request, to include a report of the
effects of such rezoning on the whole area.

as well as provisions for surface drainage. The Manager reported Baxter and

connection with sewage treatment.
