The President and Members of the
Board of ~'rustees of the Village
of Mount Prospect
In Re: Plat of Dedication for Public
streets - Randview Highlands
Gentlemen:
The Plan Commission has examined this Plat. Insofar as
it follows the original street lay-out, except for the vacation of
Nomac Ave., it appears to conform and is in alignment with the
existing streets surrounding this area. The question of width of
pavements will need to be determined legally by the Village Board
and its Attorney in regard to the question of whether the 26 foot
or the 31 foot width would apply in this instance.
The Plat fails to shoH a cross section of the contem-
plated pavement and the future placement of trees and sidewalks as
is required by Village. ordinance.
'de have approved the attached Plat subject to compliance
with the above.
Respectfully submitted,
(signed: A. C. Dresser, Chairman
Plan Commission
Richard R. Young, Secfy)

50 feet north of Northwest Highway. Proof of ownership was accepta
ble. The petition was for a change in classification from R-2 to B
or for a variation of R-2.
The petitioner outlined that his sale of the adjoining
Northwest Highway property depended upon permission to acquire this
property for off-street parking.
Since the request involves the essential residential char
ter of the neighborhoo~ the Commission voted 4-0 to recommend a var
tion of R-2 with the specific permission to use the parcel for park
ing moving passenger vehicles only.
Case 56-14
This is a parcel on the southwest corner of Henry and Mai
Streets. The petition was for a change in classification from R-2
to B. Proof of ownership was acceptable.

cations in the present Ordinance, and to require off street parking.
While it is unanimously agreed that these are important and much
needed requirements for orderly development of our Village, it is
felt that further study is advisable before recommendations are made.
