The clerk read the notice of the special meeting.
Discussion was had on the petition of Baxter Laboratories to rezone the
140 acre tra (tt in West Deerfield Township lying north of County Line Road
between the Toll Road and Saunders Road, except the west 600 feet thereof, from

Trustees Schleicher, Raff and Forrest expressed great concern about
an adequate buffer to protect nearby property adjacent to or within the
Village, and protection for properties located south, west and north of the
subject property. Trustee Craig suggested that greater protection would be
given to'.the Village if the 65-.acre tract at the northwest corner of County
Line and Wilmot Roads were shown as single family residence district on
the Village's juridictional map, although the property is zone OR under the
County zoning ordinance.

adopted opposing the petition of Baxter Laboratories for rezoning property to
the LI Light Industry classification, but the opposition would be withdrawn if
the rezoning request were granted on the basis that the eatterly 300 ft., the
northerly 300 ft., and the southerly 600 ft. remain in the present OR Office
and Research classification, the westerly 600 ft. being excluded from the
petitioned rezoning. The motion failed by the following vote:
