In response to President Whitney's request, Trustee Hearn explained that, after several hours of debate on various proposals for the zoning of the area, it was decided that, as a compromise, the land north of Hackberry extended would be rezoned for an overall density of the Rrl -A District requirements of 12,000 sq. ft. lots;.with 20..09O.,sq., ft,'li6ts fronting on Wilmot Road, which would permit acceptance of the Valenti proposal, and the area south of Hackberry Road extended from Wilmot to the Toll Road would be zoned 0 & R with a 190 ft. setback, 235 as well as 0 & R zoninv south of County Line Road to the Tbll Road, with a 190 ft. setback also.

Mr. Valenti to give an.option for two years to School District #110 on Block 3 of the proposed subdivision plat submitted by Mr. Valenti. 2.

Trustee Porter stated Trustee Hearn's motion covered to separate items - the first the Valenti proposal for rezoning and annexation, the second, the rezoning or other properties, President Whitney stated that if the two proposals were not joined together, it would not be in the spirit of the compromise agreed on. Trustee Hearn concurred with this statement, and stated further the Board would not be keeping faith with the commitment made several months age.

He stated many other properties would be affected by the proposed 0 & R zoning, including the Hovland area, the pony farm, and other areas inside and outside the village, and this matter should be given •separate considerati on.
