El~uhurst Road ZBA 28-SU-92 · The Petitioner is requesting a Special Use 1500 S.~ST to allow the installation of a roof-mounted satellite antenna for the regional office of Payless Shoe Stores. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended granting this request by a vote of 6-0. It was noted that the Petitioner has office~ in the Venture Department Store.

The Petitioner requested the requirement to screen the antenna be waived, noting that there are apartments approximately 300 yards away from the property line with the Commonwealth Edison high-tension wires between those apartments and the property line of the Venture Store building. If screening is required it would have to be secured to the roof which would create a problem with the landlord.

An Ordinance will be presented for first reading at the July 7th meeting of the Village Board.

Upon roll call: Ayes: Clowes, Corcoran, Floros, Hoefert, Farley Nays: None Motion carried. An Ordinance will be presented for first reading at the July 7th meeting of the Village Board.
