Road was reviewed. Approval of all variations was recommended, except the proposed
sign.
Plan Commission Chairman Albert Brust reported that it was the opinion of
the Planning Consultant that the proposed new building would not interfere with
the relocation of Park AVenue; however, the Plan Commission recommended the acquisi-
tion of a 50' �x 50' tract at the northeast corner of the subject property, and
an agreement with the company that the west driveway onto Park Avenue would be
closed and an east driveway provided when the street is relocated.
'Messrs.' Link and O'Mara, representing the Union Oil Company, stated there
was no objection to a change in driveway locations when Park Avenue is re- aligned,
and the company has no plans or need for the 50 sq. ft. tract required for the
future street, and would be willing to sell to the Village at a mutually agreed
price. Trustee Bootz suggested a price of $1.00. Mr. O'Mara said he had no

stated the cost for busing school children was $8,950 per year. Mr. Loren Anderson,
