OF CERl'AIN PROPERlY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ALGONQUIN ROAD, APPROXIMATELY
2250 FEET EAST OF GOEBERT ROAD: DESIGNATED BY THE COOK COUNrY ZONING OOARD
OF APPEAlS AS OOCKE'r #1443.
WHEREAS, the Petitioner in C.B. #65633 seeks a rezoning of certain
properly located on the north side of Algonquin Road, approximately 2250 feet
east of Goebert Road, from its R-4 (single family residence district) to R-6
(general residence district), which case was docketed by the Cook County
Zoning Board of Appeals as Docket #1443; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mount Prospect is irmnediately adj acent and
oontiguous to the subjeot property on the north side and therefore within
one and one half miles of the property sought to be rezoned; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mount Prospeot appeared at a Public Hearing
on said Dooket #1443 on October 14, 1968 and then and there requested time
within which to file its formal objection to the said proposed rezoning; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of
Mount Prospect desire to exercise the authority to file a fonnal objection,
whioh authority has been conferred upon them by Section 3158 of Chapter 34 of
the Illinois Revised Statutes;
NOW, THEREFDRE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRE..SIDENr AND OOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNr PROSPECT, COOK COUNrY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION 1: That the Village of Mount Prospect does hereby obj ect
to the rezoning described above and requests that the County Board vote in
aooord with this offical objection, and does hereby state the reasons for
the said objection as follows:
(1) That the rezoning of the subject tract would amount to spot
zoning in that; properties lying irmnediately to the east and west
of the subjeot parcel are presently zoned single family residential
and are improved as such; property to the north is within the
oorporate limits of the Village of Mount Prospect and is developed
as single family residential; and there are no properties currently
zoned R-6 in the County for miles around the subj ect property.
(2) That the primary use of the property as described by the
Petitioner is for the erection of scme ninety-eight (98) one and
two bedroom apartment un1 ts in four (4) separate buildings, which
use is too dense for the tract it will be constructed upon. This
is borne out by testimony of the builder that the number of un1 ts
in this projeot necessitated this petition for R-6 zoning rather
than R-5 zoning, along with testimony by the architect that fire
fighting equipment entering the property would be unable to turn
aound in order to leave the said property.
(3) That water and sewer facilities have not been shown to be
available. In fact, testimony indicated that there is no agreement
made between the Petitioner and the Utility Sewer and Water
Company for the said servioes, nor was there any testimony indicati _
that the said Utility Sewer and Water Company is an.ything more
than a distribution oompany dependent upon a third party for its
source of water.

( 4 ) That sole criteria for the highest and best use of the
sUbject property is the financial gain to the Petitioner as
indicated by the testimony, rather than competent land planning.
SECTION 2: That the Village Clerk is hereby authorized to submit
certified copies of this Resolution to the Clerk of Cook County for
transmittal to the County Board and such other agencies as are deemed
appropriate.
SECTION 3: This Resolution shall be in full force and effect
from and after its passage and approval in the manner provided by law.
