Mt. Prospect, Illinois
Gentlemen:
On Friday evening, August 26, the Zoning Commission with
all members present, held a public hearing at the Village Hall on
four zoning requests as published in the Mount Prospect Herald
August 4, 1955. A copy of the Zoning Notice is attached.
Case 55-11 was presented by Mr. Robert Irmiger. After the
case was presented, including proof of ownership, the Commisssion
voted unanimously in favor of this request. We wish to call to the
Board's attention, however, that the lot in question adjoins property
already rezoned for apartment dwellings, known as Lots 1 to 15 in
Block 1. The plot shows an alley between those lots and Lot 16. If
that property has not already been dedicated to the village as an
alley, the matter should be taken into consideration by your Board
as the petitioner may attempt to eliminate that alley-way in his
building plans.
Case 55-12. The petitioner was not present, therefore, no
action could be taken.
Case 55-13 was presented by Dr. Shaner. Proofs of owner-
ship was presented. The Commission decided unanimously to grant the
variation requested. The unanimous decision includes a variation to
allow construction ofa medical office building in this location,
now in zoning class of R-3. For the record, we might mention that
petitions signed by adjoining property owners were in favor of this
variation.
Case 55-14 was presented by Mr. E. F. Gleich. A decision
will be withheld until after a special meeting is held at the Village
Hall at 7:30 P.M. on Friday, September 30. Members of the Park
Board Planing Commission and Board of Trustees are invited to meet
with the Zoning Commission at that time. '"
The Zoning Commission requests that a map designating
present zones or classifications in the village be available in the
meeting room for future reference. These classifications mould be
shown in color except where residential areas are involved of the
R-l Classification.
Yours truly,
S. W. Goodenough-Secretary

Dear Ray:
Re::Elmer J. Couet
Application for Rezoning
Case No. 55-12
Unfortunately I did not receive the pUblication notice
in connection with the hearing on the above matter, which was set
for August 26th at 8:00 P.M., as I was out of town on a vacation
and the matter was overlooked by the office. I have received a
letter from the Village asking me for an additional $90.00 for
republication on this matter and I certainly would appreciate it
if you could possibly have the matter reset for costs rather than
the $90.00 figure.
Anything you can do I assure you will be greatly ap-
preciated.
