Very truly yours, Augsut 21, 1956 .I. (signed: J. W. Viger Helen Marie Viger) A motion was then made by Trustee Willer, seconded by Wier, that this petition be referred to the Mount Prospect Zoning Commission for the holding of a public hearing and their recommendations. The President Pro-Tem put the question, the Acting Clerk called the roll, with the following response: Ayes: All; Nays: None. Thereupon the President Pro Tem declared the motion carried. The following communication was then read: August 14, 1956 Robert F. Milligan, Village Clerk Village of Mount Prospect Executive Offices, Nunicipal Building 112 E. Northwest Highway Mount Prospect, Illinois Dear Mr. Nilligan: Confirming my telephone conversation in regard to your letter of' July 27, - Re: flLot 1 in Block 4 in Prospect Park Subdivision, Number 1; also Lot A in Resubdivision of Lots 7 to 10 in Block 3 in r-leir's Addition; Itboth parcels are small triangular parts of land, the first one being located at the Junction of Lincoln street, Route 83 and Elmhurst Avenue. lrhis parcel is triangularly shaped approxi- mately 78.47' on 2-sides and 108.92' on the third side while the second parcel is triangular in shape and is 78.15' on 2-sides and 108.88 on the third side, these figures according to the plats of your Village. The property has been and to the best of my knowledge, zoned for residential purposes only, and because of the size of each parcel and with your restrictions for set-backs, use of land, etc. it is impossible to use these parcels for residential purposes. To re- zone them for commercial use would create a hazard in these two roads, therefore, in my opinion, the value of each parc~l is only a nuisance value and each property should be purchased for $250 to $300. The owners of said properties would then be realizing a small amount for their equity and it would enable your Village to clear any possible further contingencies that might arise in either parcel. It is very difficult to properly advise you on such peculiar pieces of land and I believe any competent Appraiser would give you approximately the same answer. Very truly yours, (signed: Raymond S. Wright) A motion 1.vas then made by Trus tee t'Jiller, seconded by Airey, that the Village Attorney be authorized to make on behalf of the Village a bonafied offer to purchase each of the above parcels of land at $300.00 per parcel.
