RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSED REZONING IN COOK
COUNTY ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DOCKET NO. 960
WHEREAS, there is presently pending before the Zoning
Board of Appeals of Cook County, Illinois, an application for
reclassification of certain property known as the Magnus Farm
from the R-4 District to the R-5 District; and
WHEREAS, said proposal has been docketed and heard
as Docket No. 960 before the Zoning Board of Appeals of Cook
County, Illinois; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mount Prospect has appeared
at said public hearing on November 15, 1965, and then and
there stated its opposition to said proposed amendment unless
a restrictive covenant running with the land for a term of
twenty-five (25) years is imposed upon the subject property
pursuant to which covenant said property would be limited for
use solely as a nursing and convalescent home, and as a retire-
ment home for persons of the age of fifty-five years, or more;
and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the
Village of Mount Prospect have considered said application for
rezoning and have determined that the rezoning of said property
from the R-4 District to the R-5 District under the Zoning
Ordinance of the County of Cook would be highly detrimental to
the Village of Mount Prospect and the citizens of Cook County,
unless said restrictive covenant as described above were recorded
to run with the land; and
WHEREAS, the corporate limits of the Village of Mount
Prospect abut upon the property which is the subject of the
application made in said Docket No. 960, and the said Village

file a formal objection conferred upon them by Section 3158
of Chapter 34 of the Illinois Revised Statutes.
