ORDINANCE NO. 2332
AN ORDINANCE GRANTING CERTAIN VARIATIONS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT
604 W. CENTRAL ROAD, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS
WHEREAS, the Board of Appeals of the Village of Mount Prospect diq meet
on the 18th day of November, 1971, at the hour of 8:00 p.m. in the
Village Hall of Mount Pros'pect and did hear Case No. 7l-38A, pursuant;
to legal notice published in the Mount Prospect Herald on November 3,
1971; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Appeals of the Village of Mount Prospect did
hear a petition requesting variations from the requirements of th~
Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance concerning front yard lot size and
individual side yard -- so that the petitioner might construct an
addition to the existing lumberyard and building at this location;
and
WHEREAS, the Board of Appeals of the Village of Mount Prospect has
recommended to the President and Board of Trustees the granting of th~
variations requested under Case No. 7l-38A for reasons that:
1. There is a practical difficulty and particular hardship
on the petitioner in that this 1.7 acre parcel has been
utilized as a lumberyard and is zoned I-I, which zoning
district allows such lumberyards but requires four (4)
acre minimum lots with a thirty (30) foot setback and an
;industrial side yard of not less than thirty (30) feet;
2. The purpose of the variations is not based exclusively on
a desire to make money;
3. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances
in that the land is so located that additional acreage
is not available, since contiguous land has been im-
proved with office buildings, railroad tracks, and a
storage yard -- the office building immediately adjacent
to the west having no front yard setback whatsoever;
4. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created
by any person presently having an interest in the property;
S. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply
of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially
increase the. congestion in the public streets, or increase
the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or sub-
stantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood; and
6. The granting of the variations will not be detrimental to
the public or injurious to surrounding property in that
it will not alter the essential character of the locality;
and
WHEREAS, the President ,and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount
Prospect on December 7, 1971, have reviewed Case No. 7l-38A and have
concurred with recommendations of the Board of Appeals to grant these
variations; and !
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees o~ the Village of M04~t
Prospect have determined that the matters here1n are for the best 1nter~
ests of the Village of Mount Prospect;
