That the property immediately to the North of the subject property is zoned R-l (Single-Family Residence District) in the corporate limits of the Village of Mount Prospect currently owned and controlled by the Mount Prospect Park District; the property immediately to the East of the subject property is zoned R-l (Single- Family Residence District) in the corporate limits of the Village of Mount Prospect currently owned by School District #59 and improved thereon with a school buLldlng; the property to the West of the subject property is currently zoned and improved as R-5 (General Residence District) in the County of Cook; the property to the immediate south of the subject property is zoned R-4 (Single-Family Residence District) in the County of Cook and has been partially developed as such. B. That since the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of 1960 of Cook County no zoning changes have been incurred in the immediate area and specifically no zoning changes on any of the properties adjacent to the subject property. C. That the intensified use of the United Air Lines pnop~rty which is in close proximity to the subject property should not be a determining factor for inten- sifying the subject property's use as proposed. D. That no testimony was submitted as to the disposition of the storm water run-off from the subject property if improved as proposed. E. That, in fact, the subject property is not in the designated flood plain but is immediately between two flood plains to the East and West, and that saicl run- off from the subject property would travel East on Dempster Street into a flood plain at an accelerated speed causing an increase in the flooding area at or near the Dempster Junior High School located immediately East of the subject property. F. That the proposed improvements on the subject property indicate some seven means of ingress and egress into the property off Dempster Street within a space of 1,000 feet from the intersection of Church Road and Dempster Street, a public safety hazard regarding to traffic as Dempster Street is a heavily traveled artery at and near the subject property. G. That the proposed improvements for the subject property make no adequate provisions for ingress and egress of necessary fire equipment to certain structures all of which will be heavily populated and thereby causing a serious threat to public health and safety. H. That the proposed improvements for the subject property indicate the in- stallation of a private road some 300 feet long off Dempster Street adjacent to the P. 2 ~ \ I School propertys which will result in a private road which is neither controlled nor maintained by a governmental body yet necessary for the ingress and egress of emergency vehicles to the proposed buildings on the subject property. I. That the petitioner stated during said public hearing that no arrangements have been made for the financing of said proposed improvements, same being a critical element for without financing or without proper financing the results of this rezoning could be speculative or an uncompleted project both of which are det~iment& to the County of Cook and nearby communities. J. That the petitioner failed to show that said rezoning of subject property will result in the highest and best use of said property, for no testimony was intro~ duced as to the development of this property under its present classification, R-4 (Single-Family Residence District). SECTION TWO: That immediately upon the publication and approval of this Resolu- tion, the Village Clerk of the Village of Mount Prospect be, and is hereby authorized and directed to transmit certified copies of this Resolution to the County Clerk of Cook COUhty, to the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Appeals of Cook County, and the President of the Board of Commissioners of Cook County. SECTION THREE: This Resolution shall be in fuil force and effect from and after its passage and approval in the manner provided by law.
