SALE OF COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS CITIZENS TO BE HEARD LONNQUIST LOTS Mr. Robert Cronin, 719 S. We Go Trail, addressed the Board on the proposed sale of the Village owned lots on Lonnquist Blvd west of We GO Trail. Mr. Cronin stated that his s~ngle family home is located north of Lonnquist Blvd, behind the 2 story Tudor home owned by Mr. Novak. Access to Mr. Cronin's property is via a 20 foot easement located on a lot owned by Mr. Novak just east of Mr. Novak's home. We Go Trail is a 33 foot wide unimproved right-of-way that is located on the west frontage of both Mr. Cronin's and Mr. Novak's homes. Mr. Cronin requested the Village Board to reconsider the sale of all three lots by retaining the easterly lot. Mr. Cronin stated that it was his feeling that the 100 foot area would provide access for emergency equipment, should there be a fire in his home, noting that there is a fire hydrant to the west of his home. Fire Chief Pairitz stated that in the event of a fire in Mr. Cronin s home, fire equipment would be located on Lonnquist Blvd. and would use the fire hydrants located in front of Mr. Novak's on Lonnquist or the hydrant on Lonnquist at See Gwun. The Chief also explained that the fire equipment could approach the house if necessary, however the ladder truck would at no point enter the area due to the fact that it is necessary to be operated from a solid surface. Mr. Cronin stated that while he acknowledges the Fire Chief's expertise, he did not agree with the method of fighting a fire as presented by the Chief. Mr. Bob Bennett, 801S. We Go Trail, also addressed the Board of the proposed sale of the lots stating that the Village has an easement with the Mount Prospect Park District from February, 1967 and that it was his opinion that the Village could not sell the lots due to this easement agreement. Mayor Krause explained that the agreement had a clause that at such time the Park District no longer needed the property for access, then the agreement would be revoked. The Park District has indicated to the Village that such is the case and they no longer need the land for access. Mr. Bennett also stated that the open space should be retained and that building s~ngle family homes on these 3 lots would effected their property values. It was noted by members of the Board that there is a large park approximately 3 blocks away from this site. Members of the Board expressed their desire to proceed with the sale of these lots.
