At Trustee Kelm's suggestion that residents' opinions on the proposed development be heard, citizens present at the meeting expressed strong opposition to the development. Among those speaking against the proposal were Roger Maridal,943 Brookside, John Gruber, 153 Plumtree, Robert Seiler, 928 Castlewood, John Mulkey, 1490 Northwoods Circle, John McNichols, 957 Brookside, Joan Schmidt, 933 Forest, Richard Gilbert, 1312 Central, Peter Horne, 135 Sequoia, Mrs. Edward Jacobs, 951 Brookside, Mrs. G. E. Christoph, 90 Evergreen, Robert Ord, Jr., 1235 Hackberry and J. R. Polkamus, 239 Pine. Mr. Andrew Ebert, 1670 Dartmouth, stated that many people felt that they would wait until the Plan Commission's report was received before they could speak against the proposal. Reasons given.,for opposing the proposed development were that high rise buildings would change the character of the Village, now primarily single family homes, impact on schools, sewer and water facilities, traffic, fire and police services and the effects of a large population;in a relatively short time. Mr. Seiler spoke strongly in favor of acquiring the property for a park'.site..with recreational uses, and while it would cost the taxpayers an increase in taxes, Federal funds were available to help pay the costs of acquisition, and it would be cheaper in the long run. Mr. Horne expressed concern about the statement that the proposed development would "upgrade the zoning ", since it was his opinion that the development was less desirable than industrial uses insofar as the rest of the Village is concerned. Mrs. Christoph stated they had moved to Deerfield to get away from a city atmosphere and were strongly opposed to a high rise development. The Board assured the residents that no hasty action would be taken, they had an open mind, and full discussion would be had on the proposal.
