Recent proposed: development plans for.apartments on the lake met with
strong opposition :`rum those citizens who reside in,the area near there
proposed projects.
The principal objections were.
I. Apartments would increase population density out of proportion to
the increase from normal land use for single family residences. This
would result in heavier than normal: traffic surges and increase
heavily the numbers of ;persons Who would, use: the lake.
2. Apartments spoil. the natural aesthetic beauty of a lake compared
to residential developments.
3 , Residents who built on the lake did so with the understanding
that the lake frontage would be preseved.for residential de-
velopments. moreover, the Medicine 1k..Village Council. has

Recentro sed development, P pa to l nsfoPp r .apartments on tY,e lake met with
strong oppos tion from those citizens who reside in the area tear these

The Principal objections were.
1. Apartments would increase population density out of proportion to
the increase from normal land use fo.:- single Family residence$ . This
Would result in heavier than normal `t-raffic surges and increase
heavily the numbers of per:ons who would use the lake.
2r Apartments spoil the natural aesthetic beauty of s lake compared
to residential„ developments
3. Residents who built on the lake did so v th the understandingthatthelakeFrontagewouldbepreservedforresidentialde-,
