A variation of R-l was petitioned. Proof of ownership was submitted. There were three members of the Zoning Commission present to hear this petition. The Commission voted unanimously to grant the variation, with the following restriction agreed to by the petitioner. No change in the exterior of the building, front, back or sides. '['he proposed stairv-ray to the 2nd floor is to be constructed entirely within the existing structure. We considered th~t this restriction is necessary to avoid altering the R-l appearance in a single family residential neighborhood. In accordance with our letter of September 6, 1955 we met with the Park District, the Plan Commission, the School Board, in the Clerk's office to discuss the long term planning of the area involved in Case 55-14.

Portions of Parcel "B" are adjoining Lions Park, and are therefore considered premium residential property. l'he remainder of the parcel adjoins family residential property on ODe side and R-l is not considered necessary with the new 1-1 restrictions. Accordingly it is felt that this parcel is unsuited for apartment zoning. (Signed) Eugene F.
