Vfflagti's major arteries has been the subject of hot debate
for several wieeks-
The height limit for apartments has been reduced from
the 6 stories proposed by Planning Consultant James
Dunne, to 4H stories. The density has also been reduced
from 50 apartment units per acre to 44 units. The 454-
story lunit conforms with many of the present apartments
in the Village which were buUt from 1958 to 1962, before
the restriction which heretofore called for a 2^-story
maximum.
The Village Board vote on the rezoning was 4 to I, with
Mayor Sweeney. Deputy Mayor William White, Trustee

absolutely necessary to encourage new construction along
North Main Street and to prevent that important area of
the Village from deteriorating to a slum status. Smce the
pubUc hearing in March, we have spent many, many
nights and weekends, in special meetings, gomg over every
facet of the zoning proposition, and we believe we have re­solved
the questions and come up with a final plan that
will refuvenate North Main Street and enhance the entire
Village."
Another change in the original proposal is the establish­ment
of two zoning areas within the overall "planned unit
