ZBA 29-99 ZBA 29-99,901 W. Golf Road 901 W. GOLF Mr. Cooney presented ZBA Case No. 29-99 as a request for a Conditional Use permit to ROAD allow the conversion of a single-family residence to a church facility; the request also includes the construction of a parking lot. The Zoning Board of Appeals had recommended approval, with specific conditions, by a vote of 4-0. The Board had several major concerns relative to floor space, lot size, traffic, and membership growth, which were addressed by Reverend Hyung Sahn and John Klm, architect. Rev. Sahn stated the congregation currently meets at a Northbrook location, but wishes to locate to Mount Prospect because many of the members reside here. Mr. Cooney indicated that the available floor space meets Village Code requirements, and that based on Code parking regulations, one parking space is required for every three people; with the regular attendance of an estimated 40 individuals, 14 parking spaces are required. He stated that the petitioner has adjusted his parking lot plans to meet this requirement. Mr. Adolph Sitkiewicz, 1003 S. Na-Wa-Ta Avenue, and Mr. Holbrook, 1006 S. Na-Wa-Ta Avenue expressed their opposition to the structure's conversion, based on their fears of parking problems, and the possible overall devaluation of their properties. Board members suggested the petitioner consider another location within Mount Prospect, or sharing a church building with another congregation at a larger different location.
