Building Code Requirement Re Central Air Conditioners:
This matter had been charged to the Committee for the purpose of
revising the existing ordinance to make provisions for the
issuance of permits for air conditioner compressors on corner
lots and eliminate the necessity for a variation hearing before
the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Former Chairman of the Public Health & Safety Committee, Trustee
Hendricks, had reported out on this charge April 22, 1975.
However, it was decided to refer the matter back to Committee
after several Trustees requested further review and the addition
of other provisions.
The following is the existing part of Article X, Section 21.1011
with suggested wording underlined for your consideration:
"Section 21 -1011 --Central Air Conditioning Compressor Units
for Single Family Dwellings.
No person shall install, operate or use a central air
conditioning compressor system without first obtaining a
permit therefor from the Director of Building & Zoning.
(a) Central air conditioning compressor units in the RX, RA,
and R-1 residential zoning districts shall be placed in
the rear yard and no closer to any side lot lines than
the house is so located. On corner lots in said zoni,n2,
districts the compressor units may also be installed in
in the side .1ots provid'ed said locations comply with the
f 01 lowi IIg -.
(1) That they be as close to the building asprad�ical,,
to provide adequate ventilation; and,
(2) That they be adequately screened from view from
'tile street w.th close ly-p lanted, evergreens or
shrTib'Serand
Public Health & Safety Committee Meeting 7-10-75
10) The air conditioning COMR,r,essor unit shall in no
instance be pozi:E_6ned, as to direct any exhaust air
directly at or upon any buildJ`ng upon a .. .. _ n adjacent
The Committee voted 2-0 in favor of the aforementioned revisions.
Vacating of Alley:
Elmer A. Blasco of 201 WeGo Trail have asked the Village
to vacate a 20 ft. alleyway which divides their single-family
property and the property immediately to the north known as
127 WeGo Trail, and running easterly from WeGo Trail to SeeGwun,
dividing the single-family residents' properties at 202 and 204
SeeGwu-#L.
This alleyway has existed for some 18 years and has always been
maintained as a lawn area by the adjoining property owners. About
a year ago, this area became a trail for motorcycles, bicycles,
and foot traffic and as a consequence, deep ruts have been cut
0
into the lawn, young children in the area have been endangered
by the fast-moving vehicles, and litter has become a serious problem.
Several weeks ago our Public Works Department erected signs and
a baffle fence to eliminate the traffic; however, both were down
within 6 days.
By vacating the alley and donating it to the adjoining property
owners, the Village would no longer be responsible for any maintenance.
The other three adjoining property owners supported the request as
made by Mr. & Mrs. ;,lasco.
The Committee could foresee no possible use of the alleyway for
Village purposes; therefore, it voted 2-0 in favor of vacating
the alleyway and donating the property to the adjoining owners,
but retaining an easement because of the sewer lines running under
the property.
The other Trustees are urged to look at the property 'in preparatio
for a vote at the next regular meeting. i
Drain Oil Disposal:
Recent survey figures show that over 50% of the car owners changed
their own motor oil. Their disposition of the drain oil is unknown;
however,we may presume that it could very well contribute to a
pollution problem. The City of Des Plaines has a test program for
the collection and use of drain oil. If it is successful, we may
wish to try a similar program.
Page 3.
Public Health & Safety Committee Meeting 7-10-75
By a vote of 2-0, the Committee recommends that the administration
collect as much information as possible on the Des Plaines program
and have it ready for the next meeting of the Public Health &
Safety Cormnittee.

Calabrese's Subdivision
Attorney Joseph Platt and his client , Aristo A. (Tony) Calabrese appeared before the
Committee requesting approval of the Board of Trustees of this Plat of Subdivision of a
tract of land located south of Willow Road and west of Marian Street extended. The
general location of this property south of Willow Road is that it lies between Schoenbeck
Road and Elmhurst Roydabout two blocks north ofthe Old Orchard Country Club,. The
subdivision, contains six lots , to lot's facing Willow Road . with four lots facing a cul -de -
sat at the end of Marian, Street — all, of whi,.ch lots are in excess of 13,000 square feet.
'The, County zoning of thi's property is R-3, Single Fami,ly Remidentilal, witth a variation
having been, granted to, allow these ic lots w4i h are smaller than'the, required, 20, 000 sqft
area in, t,h, e Clounty. . .
Out of curiosity, I asked where the sewer and water'came from. Mr, Calabrese stated
that the water was from wells and that the sanitary sewer would tie into the Old Town
Sanitary Sewer System.
In view of the fact that the entire subdivisionmorle than, meets the minirnum code, require-
ments of our R-1 Single Family Residence Di 'I
istl ict and the further fact that thef Planning
Commission has already authorized its chairman, M'alc0l,m Young,, and its secretary,
J . C - Busenhart tosign , the, Building Committee 1, by avote of 2-01 recommends to the
Board ofTrustees Of the Village of Mount Prospect that the Mayor be authorized to sign
and the Clerk to atitest his signature, on this Plat of Subdivision.

This is a petition by Randhurst to effectively allow a freestanding building on a lot con-
taining a regional shopping center for the purpose of constructing and erecting a restaurant
to be known as "Sign of the Beefestere .Mr. Charles Ritzen, Vice President of Montgomery
Ward, and Attorney Donald Gralen of the firm of" Sidley & Austin , were present to discuss
this 180 -seat restaurant to be located in a 6 1 000 sq. ft. building on a, lot area of 1.1. acres
situated adjacent to the watertower at Randhurst north of Kensington just west of the Ward
tire and battery automotive store (a site plan is attached to this report). Montgomery
Ward, owner of the Sign of the Beefeater, which is a chain of restaurants, will add some
78 101x201 automobile parking spaces within this 1.1 acre tract. Mr. Gralen referred to
Mr. Harold Carlson"'s testimony that there has been, a substantial decline in traffic at
Rand,hurst since the opening of Woodfield,, and further stated that, the opening old,Ahis
restaura,nt would, it was felt, generate more business. I asked what the theory of Rand'-
hurst was in generating competition amongst its own, restaur ants. Mr.Ritzen' answered
Building CommitteePa9 q 3 June 11, 1975
that this restaurant should generate 1,000 people per day from outside of the center
and this type of restaurant is of a different type and variety of any other restauant at
Randhurst -- including The Boarls, Mead., which is almost adjacent to the proposed area
of development here.
The petitioners stressed that there is no intention to serve liquor; that the Village will
never have to worry about a future request for a liquor license, because the facility,
caters more to families and family style eating and that liquor available on the premises
would destroy the whole concept involved with this type of restauranti, In fact., Mr. Ritzen
stated that Ward's "would close the restaurant rather -than, as; for a liquor license"
Only two objectors appeared before the �oning Board of Appeals on the hearing of this
matter both concerned with traffic problems Which the Committee feels have been ans-
wered. After further discussion on this matter, the Building Committee, by a vote of
2-0,, recommends that thePresident and Board of Trustees concur with the recommendq-
tion of the Zoning Board' of Appeals to grant the variation requested'. The Comm'ttee as*
I ed
the Village Attorney to draft an ordinance for presentation to the President and Board of
Trustees at the meeting, of June 17 t 1975
On the petition of Sem,ar Home Builders to rezone from R -X to R-1 property located adja-
cent to and south of 4onnquist Boulizverd and adjacent to and east of Busse Road I the
Zoning Board of Appeals voted 4-1, to deny the requested zoning upon the annexation of
the subject However, in view of the action, byte Board of Trustees of
J parcel r
the Village of Mount Prospect approving a subdivision of the subject property into six
lots, containing a minimum of 89 000 sq. ft.tach, it appeared that the only question for
the Building Commiftee to consider on this matter was Whether the subject property ought
to be ;annexed and made, part of` the, Village ofMount Prospect,. It presently I ently coM
I , rises two
single famlily lot's in the County, Many objectors were present at our meeting -- all of
whom were h[vingiffi unincorporated Cooly County - within the, island, of approx�*mately
99 acres which the Village of Mount Prospect totally surrounds. The objectors were rer-
presented by Attorney Bernard Lee. There w ' as only one, resident in the audience and
he had nothing to say pro or cop with respect -to this petition. Petitioner, Mr. Phil Semar,
was present , along with his zoning expert , Mr. Henry Ages.
The Village Attorney indicated that, while the administration tries to avoid interjecting
itself into zoning petitions pending before the Board , the Village Manager would urge the
Building Committee Page 4 June 11, 1975
annexation of the subject property. Reasons iven by the
9Villae Attorney were that the
1 g
matter of subdivision of this property into lots had already been considered by the Board
of Trustees and the Planning Commission; that the area involved with this island is pre-
sently serviced by our Fire Department under contract with the Elk Grove Rural Fire
Protection District and that the funds derived from this contract (based on a .12 tax
levy made by the District against all properties in the island) were not sufficient to
pay the cost of our paramedic ambulance service, let alone the rest of our fire preven-
tion, fire fighting and other emergency fire services; and that the development of the
subject property would cause the builder to install water main on Lonnquist Boulevard
linking the terminus of our sys,tem at Robert Drive and Lonnquist, with the rest of the
system on Busse Road -- thereby prong the subject property and the general area
surrounding it with two sources of water for potable, and fire fighting purposes. The
Committee, after listening to Mr. Lee and other' residents of the unincorporated area,
deliberated and by a vote of 2-0 recommends that the Mayor and Board of Trustees of
the Village of Mount Prospect overturn the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Ap-
