FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF MURA LANE
AND SENECA DRIVE, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Mount Prospect
did meet on the 24th day of May, 1973, at the hour of 8: 00 p.m., at the
Mount Prospect Village Hall and did hear Case No. 1-V-73, pursuant to proper
legal notice; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Mount Prospect
did hear this request for a front yard variation to allow the petitioner to
construct a single family residence to within twenty-nine feet nine and three-
fourths inches (29'9-3/4") of the property line adjacent to Mura Lane and
to within sixteen feet (16') of the property line adjacent to Seneca Drive
on the lot commonly known as 1807 Mura Lane; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Mount Prospect
did recommend to the President and Board of Trustees the approval of this
request under Case No. 1-V-73 for the reasons that:
(1) There is a practical difficulty and particular
hardship on the petitioner:
(2) The purpose of the variation is not based exclu-
sively upon a desire to make money;
(3) The conditions upon which the petition for this variation is based
are unique in that the lot is a corner lot, subject to having two
(2) front yards; and
(4) The granting of this variation will not be detrimental
to the public or injurious to surrounding property in. that it
will not alter the essential character of the locality, since the
existing L-shaped building has setbacks off of Mura Lane and
Seneca Drive equal to those setbacks requested herein; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect
have reviewed the matter herein and have determined that the same is in
the best interests of the Village of Mount Prospect.
