president of Nanz Realty, 608 E. Broadway. Toe property was sold by Lyke- Priestley Development which annexed it to the city in 1968 and had it rezoned for apartment house use. Those actions precipitated a controversy in the neighborhood, with residents of Morningside Heights opposing rezoning for a prospective $5 million apartment house development. Morningside Heights is a high valuation suburb in the town of Waukesha.

Nanz said the Borlen property will be developed by an investment partnership. The transaction included the real estate, and the planning that had been done on the tract. The purchase price was not disclosed. intend to follow the same basic development plan envisioned by Lyke- Priestley, with only a few said. revisions include lightening the density somewhat by enlarging the single family lots.

exploring the possibility of decreasing the number of apartment He said the acreage devoted to single family, duplex and apartment zoning would not be altered, only the density within each zoning district. Development of the project may not start until fall or next year, according to a spokesman for the firm. The city has not yet extended utilities to the tract, nor has it budgeted for them. Ned Lvke, structural engineer who was a partner in Lyke-Priestley, has moved to Glenview. 111., to enter the construction business in the Chicago area.

He formerly worked in that area.

The Associated Press average of 80 stocks at noon was off 2.0 at 332.9, with industrials off 4.2, rails off .3. and utilities off .7. Brokers attributed the drop to what they said was a large amount of bad news.

They cited the possibility that credit might be tightened further; the dip in auto sales: deterioration in the British trade position; and lack of good news from Vietnam as factors.

Grand Ave. and will soon stare an apartment project in Rockford, III. Nanz has hired Py-Vavra, architects and engineers, to plan the subdivision. The project will have an English Tudor design, one unique in the Waukesha area, Nanz said. At a recent meeting of city officials, area developers and representatives of financial institutions, Nanz indicated he would consider putting up a federally insured project for the elderly on another site he owns in Waukesha.

For Those Who Would Grasp Study Says Downtown Chances Alive This is the third in series devoted to the market analysis prepared for Waukesha's plan commission on development opportunities in the central business district. By IVAN KASTE Freeman Staff EVELOPMENT opportunities exist in central business strict for those who would grasp em. That thought pretty well sums up the arket analysis of iwntown prepared by a Chicago plan- ng consulting firm, Larry Smith and Inc. There is more, of course, to the study an that.

It points up the need for what researchers say is a pro- am of The difference between a sustained ogram and no program at all for vitalizing downtown uld hit $11 million annually by 1980, study says. Based on a current trading area pulation of 142,000, which is expected grow to 215,000 by 1975, the study ncludes these additional space uses warranted by the latter year. 1. An additional 92,000 square feet of partment store space. 2.

An additional 80,000 square feet of fice space. 3. An additional 36.000 square feet of commerical facilities and 267,000 uare feet of various other com- ercial enterprises ranging from staurants to drug stores. 4. Additional light industrial uses to proximate seven acres.

The study found that, out of 235,560 uare feet of office space constructed Waukesha between 1958 and 1968, ,000 square feet were constructed in central business district. If well located sites had been ailable at reasonable prices, the share of that new con- ruction could have been considerably higher, the report says. Within the retail field, the report suggests these additional square footages would be warranted in the central business district by 1975: a i g-drinking establishments, 17.000 square feet; lumber-building- farm, 5,000 square feet; automotive sales, 25,000 square feet; gas stations, 2.000 square feet, miscellaneous retail, 25,400 square feet, variety stores, 27,000 square feet; apparel stores, 23,000 square feet; furniture-appliance stores, 22.000 square feet; drugs, 5,000 square feet; hardward store, 6,000 square feet. The study predicted department stores sales in the Waukesha trading area will hit $37,996,000 by 1975, that share of this would be $10,120,000 and the central business would be $8,995,000 provided the area is revitalized. The report suggests doubling the present department store space of 87,000 square feet would be justified, with 92,000 additional square feet warranted by 1975, 146,000 square feet by 1980 and 301,000 in 1990.

The Waukesha trade area is defined as extending into Jefferson county on the west, Moorland Rd. on the east Hy. 16 and northeast to Sussex on the north and the towns of Eagle and Mukwonago on the south. The trade area had an over-all growth rate of 53.2 per cent between 1950 and 1960 and the population is currently estimated at 142,000. It is projected to hit 215,000 in 1975, 267,000 in 1980 and 375,000 in 1990.

The planners arrived at a figure of $9.4 million as sales opportunity within the trading market. (The next article will detail the planning suggestions for an action program to revitalize the CBD.) Courses in Spanish agreed to start negotiations with the town on the project. Evans' said the town wanted to possibly erect tennis courts, volleyball courts and pave part of the areas for use by the town recreation department. The paving of the areas would cost between $5,000 and $7,000, Evans said. The town would pay the cost and woulcj supervise the play areas, he assured the board.

Upon the request of several citizens in the community, the school system will offer a six-week in-service course on black history next fall, Assistant Superintendent Paul Dybvad told the board. The course will include a one hour film on black history taped from a television series beginning next Monday. Teachers will receive one in- service credit for the non-mandatory course. The board also approved the course offerings for summer school including the addition of three new classes. A course for children who speak English as a second language will be offered for pupils from kindergarten through the sixth grade, Dybvad said.

The course is designed to improve the oral and written communication in English, he said. A modern mathematics class for eight graders will be set up to review and refresh the math skills, he said. The third new course, modern European history, will replace the medieval history course offered last summer. Serious Flooding Seen MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-Floods of the Mississippi River and its tributaries were forecast today in the U.S. Weather first spring flood outlook for 1969 to reach near-record levels.

In 1965, the river crested at 17.9 feet. In the previous worst year, 1952, the crest was at 15.3 feet. The crests, based on the snow now on the ground, and not counting any future rain or snowfall, are expected in the second or third week of April, the bureau said.

At Wisconsin Rapids, also on the Wisconsin River, the crest will be at nine feet, or three below flood stage. At Portage, on the same river, the crest is expected to be one foot below the 17-foot flood stage. On the Kickapoo River, Readstown is expecting a crest 1.5 feet over flood stage, while Steuben, Gays Mills, Soldiers Grove and La Farge are expected to be slightly below flood stage.

Earlier, Negro students, of which there are about 35 on the 1,400 student campus, had presented 12 demands to President Miller Upton, including one calling for an Afro-American studies department.

'iHtiiinanuiiiiiiiiii 'Annoying' Hedge Subject of Lawsuit A Milwaukee newspaper reporter and neighbor couple have filed suit against a nearby property owner on Pewaukee lake for allegedly planting and maintaining a hedge for the purpose of annoying them.

Shirley Gene Cunningham, N41- W27385 Ishnala Trail, Pewaukee and Mr. and Mrs. Allan A. Worgull, N41- W27875 Ishnala Trail, have asked in their circuit court suit that their neighbors be required to remove the hedge. Named as defendants were Mr.

and Mrs. Harold Roesselet. Milwaukee, Hy. J. Pewaukee.

The plaintiffs said the hedge exceeds six feet in height and shuts out their view of the lake. In a separate action the plaintiffs charged that a house under construction by the Roesselets violates the conaitions required in the building permit by having the ridge of the roof constructed higher than the ridge of the house. The plaintiffs want the court to order the Roesselets to conform to the conditions in the building permit.
