Prospect a Subdi vision of part of the Northwest Quarter and part of the Southeast Quarter of Section 12, Township 41 North, Range 11, East of the Third Principal Meridian in Cook County, Illinois, and commonly known as the 161 feet of Northwest High- way frontage on the North side running East from the corner of School Street, and the 62! feet frontage on the East.side of School street directly North of the Highway frontage. We have a purchaser who is acqulrlng the West one hundred feet of the Highway frontage as measured along the Northwest Highway on which he will erect a.mortuary and execute a long term lease with Mr. Richard Black of Arlington Heights. Al though the building plans allow i'ar off-street parking, we feel that during peak periods it would be advantageous to the Village if additional private parking space were available. Consequently we have agreed to sell Lots 31, 32 and the Sovth ! of Lot 33, the vacant School Street frontage, presently zoned R-2 provided rezoning to ftBft or variation in usage to perfl1it the private parking of passenger vehicles is available, and further provided that the Lessee, Mr. Richard Black surfaces and landscapes the area so as to enhance its appearance. Therefore we submit for your consideration our request that zoning be changed from fiR_2ft to ftBn or we be granted a variation of usage of Lots 31, 32 and the South! of Lot 33, in Block 20 in Mt. Prospect a Subdivision of part of the Northwest Quarter and part of the South- east Quarter of Section 12, Township 41 North, Range 11, East of the Third Principal Meridian in Cook County, Illinois, to allow private parking of passenger automobiles.

The motion was voted upon by acclwlation whereupon the President declared the motion carried. Trustee Willer then read the following cO<<til1unication: Nay 1, 1956 Board of Trustees Village of Nt. Prospect Nt. Prospect, Illinois Gentlemen: On Friday evening, April 27, at 8:00 P.M., the Zoning Conlli1is- sion, with all members present, conducted a public hearing at the Village Hall. Case 56-8 involved a proposeda~endment to the present zoning ordinance. Village Attorney, Frank Opeka, presented his case, In- dicating that the fuuenmaent was primarily designed to afford more off- street parking in the business districts to avoid congestion on and for greater safety of pedestrians. The proposed amenml1ent was not to affect any of the present structures, but would affect future buildings. Trustee Willer also suggested that this proposed amendment be con- sidered carefully as the parking problenl for the Village was becoming exceedingly hazardous. May 15, 1956 cf""1 1 ~_.J The first voice of objection was aired by Mr. R. Young, Secretary of the Planning Commission. He stated that the proposed amendment was submitted prematurely, and in the opinion of the Plar ning Commission, the proposal should have been submitted to that co~mission before being presented to the Zoning CO~uission for a public hearing. Among the property owners that would be involved were the following: Bidderraan, with property at L~6 Northwest Highway Theodore C. Moehling - property on the northeast corner of Main St. and Northwest Highway Fred irJille ) George L. Busse) - property on Central Road Herman Ne~n - propert:T on Northwest Highway and Busse Jack Moehling - property on Northwest Highway EdwardC. Moehling - property on Main St. Each of the property owners mentioned above, indicated that they would be severely affected by such a new ~lendment. Each one explained in detail how the prop~e4 amendment would disfavor their individual properties. <-/- ~f~ '- '" .-- "-, ~: The Zoning Cmamission believes that this proposal should have had more careful study before being submitted; however, in vie of the fact that a public hearing had been held and a careful study had been made, the commission unanilnously recommends that if this amendment is added to the zoning ordinance, it be applied only to new business locations and not to affect any property that is now currently within Village jurisdiction or Village limits. Case 56-9 was presented by Mr. E. S. Gleich. The Zoning Coramission voted unanimously that the request for rezoning be denied. It was unanirnously voted that in this particular case, the Zoning Cmamission grant a temporary variation on the property in- volved to permit Mr. Gleich to maintain a temporary office until such tbue as all construction and sale in his present subdivision is completed. Case 56-10 involved rezoning various properties that presently are not zoned in any classification. The case was pre- sented by Village Attorney, Frank Opeka. The cOITrraission voted unani~ously to zone properties in accordance with this request. <<:t -0 Yours truly, (signed: S.W. Goodenough Secretary) Approved: (signed: E. F.
