Ttre desire this reclassification so that we may build an addi tion tc our existing building in furtherance of our business. We have beer. at our present location in Hount Prospect for the past ten years anc desire to remain there, inasmuch as this location has been ident:ii'ie with our business. Our business involves the sale and supply of se water and other water conditioning services and equipment. Due to the population growth of the Village of IiJount Prospect and its surrounding areas, our existing business establishment is no longer sufficient ror our needs for the furnishing of water cpnditioning service Qnd sale of our products and supplies, and it is necessary to build an addition to our fac ili tie s in order that \,Je may adequately service the communi t:l and our customers. We respectfully suggest that the reclassification of this vacant property would neither increase the congestion in public street, increase the hazard of fire, endanger the public safety, diminish or impair the values of property within the surrounding areas, or in any other respect impair the 1iVclfare or the citizens. The lot for which the reclassification is requested, has little desirability for residential purposes. Central Road, upon which the greatest frontage is located, is a through thoroughfare, which is one of the p~('incipal east-'lt,rest traffic arteries in and to the Village. Three-quarters of the block in which the property is located, is presently zoned in the B-business district. fhe remainder of the block is a natural and desirable addition for the expansion of the Village s commercial zone, in view of the populatio gro~Jth of the Village and its increased needs for commercial area to service this groVJth. In addition, the area one-half block to the west of the propertj, is zoned for light industry; to the south, all the wa;y to the railroad, the property is wned in the B-business district. Consequently, it is submitted that the requested reclassification would not diminish the property value of surrounding propert~but en the contrary, if not so reclassifiec could degenerate into a character of property which would be most unsatisfactory to the Village for aesthetic and tax reasons. May 1, 1956 qfi AJU" It is respectfully submitted that the proposed reclassification, if not allowed, would work a particular hardship upon us. Also, its allowance would in no wise, act to the detriment of the public, generally, or to the surrounding owners, specifically. Upon advice as to the fees, if any, for this application required by the Village, our check will be forthcoming immediately in payment therefore. We should appreciate your earliest consideration of our request for re-classification of this property, Thanking you, we are Respectfully yours, SOFT WATER SERVICE, INC.

Wilson Chairman, Sewer Committee Village Hall Mount Prospect, Illinois Re: Elmhurst Avenue Sewer Improvements C. T. & A. #54-99 ....... Dear Howard: """",...."'74.., '__ .:rri Confirming your telephone conversation with the writer today, we wish to advise you that we have received a request from Brickman Home Builders to make a deviation from the approved plans for the construction of combined sewer extensions in Elmhurst Avenue between Memory Lane and Highland Avenue. The plans now provide for the extension of the existing 15 inch combined sewer from its present termination at the approximate center of the third lot north of Memory Lane north to Highland A~ue. This sewer would accept both storom water and sanitary sewage from the lots between the limits mentioned above and would transport same in a southerly direction throught the Feehanville Drainage District Sewer south to the trunk sewer in Isabella Avenue. C "'-"'-t "-"1: t~~ ,....... Brickman Home Builders have requested that a combined sewer be constructed to serve these same lots from the recently constructed trunk sewer in Highland Avenue southerly to the fourth lot north of Memory Lane. This would result in the disposition of sanitary sewage and storm water run-off directly into the newly installed Rand Road-Highland Avenue trunk sewer rather than the old ' Feehanville Sewer as mentioned above. In our opinion the Highland Avenue trunk sewer has sufficient capacity to accept sewage from the area mentioned above and such construction would eliminate the extension of the old Feehanville Sewerage System. We feel that this request is reasonable and recommend, without hesitation, that the Board of Trustees approve this deviation in plans. We have contacted Mr. Walter \'tl. Weiss, Attorney for the Feehanvillt Drainage District, by telephone and briefly discussed this matter with him. He has requested that we forward him essentially the information contained in this letter and after the review by the Commissioner of the Feehanville Drainage District, he will take formal action on this deviation in the plans. A copy of our letter to Mr. Weiss is attached hereto, for your information. If there are any questions concerning the foregoing, please advise, Very truly yours, CONSOER, TOWNSEND & ASSOCIATES By: William W. Townsend A motion was then made by Trustee Wilson, seconded by Willer, that this change be authorized as requested, the change to be made at the expense of the builder.
