B-3 zoning in the Village does not allow living
quarters with B-3 establishments. Mr. gray, who
now has living quarters above his retail store,
has agreed to vacate these quarters by March 6,
196~, as a condition of rezoning, and turn same
into offices.

This case was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Turstee Ekren read the following report and memo from the Zoning -
Zoning Board re Case 6~-11, heard February 28, petitioner, H. Martin: Case 6~-11
This property is a double lot (Lots 6 and 7) where
an existing residence occupies all of one lot and
part of the adjoining lot. The proposal is to
separate the lots so as to have frontages of 65
feet and ~5 feet, with a variation of side lot
requirements..
This request was denied by a vote of 6-1. No ob-
jectors ~ere present.
E. F. Martin, Chairman
N. L. Gorny~ Acting Sec~gtary
MEMORANDUM
The petitioner proved no hardship except financial,
which under present law does not qualify. The
existing house is centered improperly on Lot. 6, pre-
venting development of Lot 7. However, the peti-
tioner knew this when he bought the property. De=
velopment now becomes financially pleasing, whereas
space was the attraction at the time of purchase,
in 1952.
The petitioner claims, the right to violate the ordi-
nance frontage of 50 ft. as allowed by an old Zoning
Code. Any change inexisting lot frontage immediately
subjects the petitioner to the present ordinance,
which requires a 65-foot frontage. His intention to
use a g5-foot frontage constitutes a viotatbnof our
ordinance which seeks to protect citizens against such
practices.

Legion; Clark Oil g Refining Co.:
REPORT
This is a request for zoning change from provisional
B-3 at 1700 West C~tral Road, known as the American
Legion Club House, to make permanent the B-3 zoning.
This request was denied by a vote of 6-0~ with one
disqualification.
March 3, 196~
/oo
Two objectors were present and indicated that
they represented the Hatlen Home Owners. Neither
were legal objectors.
E. F. Martin, Chairman
N. L. Gorny, Acting Secretary
MEMORANDUM
The Board of Appeals .believes that this B-3, which
is surrounded by I-l, is spot zoning, and is exist-
ing at this time because of temporary grant to a
veterans' organization. We do not think it is wise
to make this B-3 zoning permanent, as it would allow
an isolated parcel to be zoned differently from the
surrounding area.
We believe that the highest and best use of this
property would be to permit it to revert to its orig-
inal zoning, which is I-1.
