TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPBCT, COOK COUNTY ~ ILLINOIS:
SECTION mill: That The Village of Mount Prospect does hereby object
to the rezoning and special use described above and requests the
County Board to vote its official objection and does hereby state
that the reasons for the objection are as follows:
A. That the property immediately north of the subject
property is improved with single family residences
in Cook County, the property immediately to the
south is improved with single family residences in
Cook County; the property to the west. is a daily fee
golf course, and the property to the east is zoned
R-4 (single family district) in Cook County, partially
improved with a Church, so that the entire area takes
on the atmosphere of a single family district, thus
making this proposal imcompatible with the area.
B. That the proposed plan sets forth a total of 614
apartment units within 16 buildings located on the
property in such a manner that the only means of
ingress and egress is three driveways onto Euclid
Avenue, all of which makes the development a
burdensome one for the fire protection to the rear
units and limits greatly the ability to properly
control and combat a fire.

C. The plan proposed concentrates a large population,
estimated at approximately 2,000 people, with no
provision for streets and roads except private
streets, all of which makes the project a burdensome
'ne<for the County of Cook, which is duty bound to
provide adequate streets for fire and police protection.
D. Water facilities in the area have been planned for
single family residential development and would be
ever-taxed by mlti-family development. The proposed
developmentfs alternative method of its own private
well for the subject property is not provided for under
the Cook County Zoning Ordinance in its present fonn.
E. The petitioner did not satisfy the method in which it
planned to handle the additional flow of surface water
from its development, which is of prime importance in
so far as the subject property is in the flood area of
McDonald Creek.
