cownhouse development, respectively, on Imperial Avenue, and submitting

a report dated June 2nd, 1976 on the said Meeting. In its report, the
Committee advised that since the Meeting, further consideration and
negotiation with the two developers has brought some changes; namely,
that the developer of the townhouse project will provide a site of

roughly 1 acre for a double tennis court with the developer of the
subdivision to bear the cost of constructing the court - and in exchange
the normal park levy is to be waived in both cases; also, that a 64-unit
townhouse development replace the previous scheme of 52 townhouses. The
Committee, in its report, further advised that a letter had recently
been received from School District #43 confirming school accommodation

for the two developments; however, Alderman Traboulay had expressed a

preference to postpone approval of the applications until the student

i? enrollment this Fall is known.
