ZBA 13-V-85 ZBA 13-V-85, Prospect Avenue & Edward Street PROSPECT & The recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals EDWARD to enforce the variations involved with Ordinance (DMS) No. 3065 was presented. This case deals with a commerical establishment at Prospect Avenue & Edward Street which was granted various variations in 1980, including a reduction in the required parking spaces. This particular business has been very successful and has taken on more employees than the present parking can accommodate,.and as a result the employees are parking bumper to bumper in the residential streets in the area. -It was noted that a public hearing was required to consider action on the problems caused by this business and the Zoning Board of Appeals held that public hearing. Evidence was given at that meeting, a transcript of which was taken. As a result of the evidence taken from the many residents, it was established that violations of Ordinance No. 3065 do in fact exist. Mayor Krause noted that the first step invol-.-ed with April 3, 1985 Page 2 in the possible revocation of the variations in Ordinance No. 3065 has been accomplished by holding the public hearing. Mayor Krause stated that although the owner of this company, Direct Merchandising Service (DMS) has stated that he is moving his operation to Des Plaines in September, an interim solution is necessary. The Mayor suggested placing a 2 hour parking restriction on various streets within the vicinity of Prospect Avenue & Edward Street. Many residents of the area were in the audience and voiced their opinions on this suggestion. Mr. Hoven, owner of DMS, stated that he is acquiring an alternate parking site for his employees, stating that the Mount Prospect Park District at 411 S. Maple Street has been approached and he has received a favorable response from the Park District Director. Trustee Arthur, seconded by Trustee Wattenberg, moved to revoke the variations granted in Ordinance No. 3065. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floro$, Murauskis, Van Geem Nays: Wattenberg Motion carried. In an attempt to resolve the parking problem there was considerable discussion from many residents.

Edward Bob Long, 703 Sha Bonee It was the general consensus of the residents that the 2 hour parking restriction, weekdays, 7 A.M. 6 P.M., would be the best temporary solution. Mayor Krause stated that if the Board adopted the proposed ordinance placing the 2 hours parking restrictions on the streets in the general area, this would be reconsidered when Mr. Hoven moved his company in August or September. Trustee Van Geem, seconded by Trustee Murauskis, moved to bring an item to the floor not listed on the agenda, namely an ordinance placing 2 hour parking restrictions on specified streets. Upon roll call: Ayes: Arthur, Farley, Floros, Murauskis, Van Geem, Wattenberg Nays: None Motion carried.
