November 6, 1962
garbage Trustee Bruhl explained that he inquired of Barrlngton
Trucking Co. why garbage can lids were not replaced after the cans
were emptied, and received a reply by letter signed by Peter Vender-
veld, Vice President, that replacement of lids requires an extra hour
per day, or 12 i/2% loss in efficiency, and would require additional
costs to each homeowner in the amount of 16¢ per month. Further~
the lids blow away just as easily from an empty can as when placed on
the ground. Mr. Vanderveld suggested attachment of spring type lid
fastener which holds the lid tO the side of the can when removed.

work schedule.
"In the event alternate designs are requlred u~der the provisions of
Item 4 the fee for design services will be based upon number of acres

REPORT 62-29
Fred Maier
October 9~ 1962
To: Board of Trustees
From: Zoning Board of Appeals
Re:Cass 62-29, heard September 28, 1962
Petitioner: Fred W. Maier
The petition is for a rezoning from R-1 to B-2 of Lot 11 located
on the northwest corner of Elmhurst and Golf Roads.
Three legal objectors were present; two, owning lots 10 and 12,
objected to the petition and the third property owner, owner of Lot 13,
was in favor of the petition provided that petitioner improved the lot in
question as petitioner so stated in the testimony,
The Zoning Board voted 5-0 to approve petition.

November 6, 1962
oning Case M E~M 0 R A N D U?~M'
62-29
Maier The property concerned in the petition is Lot 11 located on the
northwest co~ner of Elmhurst and Golf Roads, consisting of approxi-
mately 28,000 square feet, with 188 feet fronting on Elmhurst Road
and 190 feet fronting on Golf Road. Property to north and west is
occupied with single family residences; the property immediately to the
east is vacant land (across Rte. 83) owned by the Village, followed
by single family residences; property to south and southeast is
commercial and is and/or will be gas stations and shopping centers.
Petitioner, represented by counsel, stated that he wants to erect a
one-story building of 5,376 square feet to be designed for a medical
center with 10 suites; provide paved off-street parking to the north of
the building of 8,800 sq, ft. for 25 cars; a fence to the north and west
of the property; lighting that w~uld be adequate and reasonable; R-1
type setbacks with attractive landscaping. Petitioner presented an
architect's rendering showing these improvements and entered into the
record as Exhibit #2 and made an integral part of this petition.
Petitioner presented a real estate broker and an architect
to support his case.
The property owner to the west,, a legal objector, objected
to the rezoning for the following reasons:.
This would be spot zoning; he is now bothered with the gas station to
the s~th of his home; the lot in the petition could he used for the
erection of a single family residence and is, in fact, large enough for
two homes; there is only R-1 zoning on the north side of Golf Road for
2.1 miles. This would be the only deviation from R-1 for this stretch
of 2.1 miles; this could mean parking problems on Ioka and affect his
home; owner of lot in question could have built homes on this lot if
he hadn't delayed.
The property owner to the northwest, a legal objector, would
be in favoror rezoning as proposed provided that assurance could be
given that the improvements to the property would be made substantially
as stated by the petitioner, his counsel and architect.
The property owner to the north, a legal objector, objected to
a zoning of this lot to anything other than R-1.
The Zoning Board, in its discussion, realized that the passing
of time has changed the usage of land in this area. The lot in question
faces on two heavily traveled roads. Land directlyto the south and
southeast is commercial and the two Southern corners at this intersection
are now being used for gas stations. Possibly in 1963 or 1969 the
vacant land now zoned commercial and directly to the south of the lot
in question will be improved with the proposed shopping center and a
petition at that time for a B-3 zoning would probably receive strong
support from the courts. A gas station, at that time, or some other
type of retail operation would be a logical and economic use of the land.
The Zoning Board felt that, although the land could be used
for a single family residence, it is highly improbable. Therefore,
the problem facing the. abutting property owners, residents of the
neighborhood and the Village is to have this land used for a development
that would bemost desirable for the Village based upon the assumption
that the land is not suitable for R-~; The presentation of the
petitioner and his representations as to his planS, if his petition is
favorably received, wasof considerable interest to the Zoning Board.
The objections of the property owners were well presented and
very carefully considered by the Board. However, in the opinion of the
Board, the advantages of the proposal of the petitioner were sufficient
in value to the residents and to the VillaKe that the Board voted 5-0
to approve the petition.
Nover~er 6, 1962
The Zoning Board, however, wishes s copy of this report filed Zoning Case
with the Building Department together with Exhibit #2 submitted by the 62-29
petitioner and suggests to the Buildng Department that they apprise Maier
themselves of the representations of the petitioner, his counsel and
architect as set forth in the co ~t Peporter's transcript in order that
the Building Department can assure themselves and the Village and the
residents that the improvements to this property will be constructed in
accordance with the representations so stated by the petitioner, his
counsel and architect.

County Mr. Appleby reported he had received letter from the Bermant
zoning Management (who built Mount Prospect Plaza Shopping Center at Rand
Road and Central) asking the Board to object to zoning appeal for
23-acre shopping center near NoDthbrook. Inasmuch as this is outside
the mile-and-a-half limit, the Board agreed that the Village had no
authority to object.

that as Village President he had turned a shovel of earth in commemo-
ration of the building of a 1500-seat theater next to Thunderbird Bowl~
on Rand Road.
Attorney Hofert reported that the Village was now involved in
Klein Bldrs a suit regarding the zoning of the Klein property in We Go Park on the
We Go Park s~uth side of Central Road. This area is zoned residential and appeal
for I-1 zoning was refused nearly two years ago.

service and the President granted this request.
