The Plat consists of 41 lots and lot nBtt of 2.93 acres and a 5.50 acre section not included in the Plat, but is the site for a new school. ,>"'>., '.-.,.,...., -,...,.,,'! The streets are the new 31 ft. widths required by or- dinance. Other Protective covenants are in conformity and in compliance with the ordinance. The Plat meets with the appro- val of the Plan Commission, subject to all requirements of the P~nning and Zoning Codes. It is our understanding that the School Board will pave the streets and put in curbs and sidewalks at b~th the school locations where we were able to get the subdivider to donate land for school sites. We understand that the Bond issue recently voted included the estimated costs for these improvements. Yours very truly, Plan Commission of Mt. Prospect A. C. Dresser, Chairman E. H. Cleven, Secretary. Note: Lot "B"-2.93 Acres has been included with the 5.5 acres as not included with the subdivision. We understand that Lot "B" is to be deeded directly to the School Board.

Trustee Willer then read the following communication: May 12, 1955 Board of Trustees Village of Mt Prospect Mt Prospect, Illinois Gentlemen: The Zoning Commission met on April 29, 1955, and held public hearings on Cases 55-6-7-8. Announcement of this hearing was published in the Mt. Prospect Herald well within the legal time required. Full legal descriptions are in the accompanying transcripts of the hearing. ' There were four 8 members of the Zoning Commission present. Case 55-6 This is a parcel of land just north of the VFW Clubhouse. It is now R-I, and has been petitioned for reclassification to B. Recommendation: The Zoning Commission unanimously recommends that the re- classification as petitioned be granted. Reasons: 1. The triangular area bounded by Rand Road, Main Street, and Highland Avenue is sho~m on the Village Plan as a B Area. 2. This triangular area, a portion of which is not in the Village appears to be developing into a shopping center. We feel that the parcels within our control could assist in such develop- ment. 3. Judiciously located shopping centers, rather than sprawled out commercial areas, are desirable objectives in a well organized Village Plan. 4. The VFW Clubhouse and the Municipal Water Works at Emerson Street consititute an excellent buffer zone between the R-I Classification and the shopping area. 5. Legally defined objectors did not appear. Case 55-7 This is the parcel of land occupied by the ~l Clubhouse. The VFW have petitioned for reclassiflcation from R-I to B. Recommendation: The Zoning Commission unanimously recommends that the re- classification as petitioned be granted. Reasons: I. 2. 3. 4. 5. Case 55-8 This is the Weber property which was recently re-classified to Light Industry, the boarders of which were classified to R-I. The Petition is to re-classify this buffer zone from R-I to R-3. Same as " " " " Case " " It n 55-6 " " " Ii " " it Ii Recommendation: The Zoning Commission unanimously recommends that the re-class- ification as petitioned be granted. Reasons: 1. 2. Approved: 3. There were no legally defined objectors. The Village can use desirable rental quarters, especially for our expanding Public School Staff. Since the Ordinance regulates the height of buildings as well as the occupancy per square foot, we feel that the Village Plan is amply safeguarded. This conforms to the expansion plans of the Village. There appears to be little difference between the R-2 and the R-) classifications as defined in our Ordinance; either classification in this area satisfies good planning 4. 5.
