Page 3 - August 16, 1988 ZBA 32-Z-88 ZBA 32-Z-88, 33-SU-88, 34-V-88, 720 East Rand ZBA 33-SU-88 The Petitioner is requesting re-zoning from ZBA 34-V-88 B-3 to B-4 zoning in order to permit 720 E. R~D RD a Kentucky Fried Chicken establishment; a special Use to permit a drive-through window; and a variation to allow a 5 foot rear yard instead of the required 20 feet. The Zoning Board of Appeals forwarded a 3-3 vote, effectively denying the request. It was noted that it is the intention of-the KFC Corporation to move the existing operation located 4 blocks northwest on south side of Rand Road to the proposed location on the north side of Rand Road, southeast of Business Center Drive. The present facility does not have enough space to provide for the expansion to permit seating for 34 people and the drive-through window. The Petitioner stated that the marketing study shows that the north side of Rand Road is the 'going home' side of the road and should attract more customers. It is also anticipated that some of the 3,500 employees within the Kensington Center for Business would purchase their lunches from Kentucky Fried Chicken or take it to their homes for dinner. The proposed location for this fast food restaurant is a vacant parcel, formerly housing the Honey Bee Restaurant. The following residents spoke in opposition to the proposal: John Korn, 301 N. William Peter Schuester, 303 N. William Carol Krupa, 306 N. William The major issue expressed in opposition to the proposal would be traffic congestion and safety for the residents off Rand Road. Isabella Street is the only street accessible from Rand Road between Elmhurst Road and Henry Street and it was the feeling of the residents that even more traffic would be generated if this proposal was approved. Trustee Farley, seconded by Trustee Arthur, moved ~to deny the rezoning request being the subject of ZBA 32-Z-88. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem Nays: None Motion carried. Due to the fact that the request under ZBA Case 32-Z-88 was denied, the requests being the subject of ZBA 33-SU-88 and ZBA 34-V-88 as well as the Plat of Subdivision would not apply and therefore they were deemed failed.
