A RESOLUTION DIRECTED TO THE COUNTY CLERK OF COOK COUNTY
FOR TRANSMITTAL TO THE COUNTY BOARD OF COOK COUNTY
OBJECTING TO A CASE DOCKETED BY THE COOK COUNTY ZONING
BOARD OF APPEALS AS DOCKET NO. 714.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Mount Prospect, Cook County, Illinois:
Section 1. The President and Board of Trustees of the Village of
Mount Prospect do h~reby formally and pursuant to the provisions of the
statutes object to the rezoning from B-3 Gneral Business District to B-4 General

Service District of property legally described as follows: I

II . .
II Sect~on 2. That the V~llage of Mount Prospect objects to the rezoning
'land especially the proposed use of the property for a cocktail lounge since
Ilthere is an adequate number of available places where liquor is served and the
introduction of a cocktail lounge in the place indicated will increase above
what is required as the number of places where liquor is served in the vicinity.
The increase in the number of places where liquor is served has the tendency of I
making it more competitive and thus less restrictive and less selective of the
number of places and the people being served liquor with a consequence that
,minors are more apt to be served liquor illegally.
I
I That the area in question, although being afforded police services by
lthe Sheriff of Cook County, because of the number of personnel available and
the number of places to be policed, makes it difficult to maintain surveillance
'of the type and kind required to assure the fact that minors are not being
served and also that intoxicated persons are not receiving an excess amount of
liquor.
Lots 58 to 68 inclusive and Lot 70 in Smith and Dawson
Second Addition to Country Club Acres, Prospect
Heights, Illinois, being a subdivision of the Southwest
Quarter of the Southeast Quarter and the West 10 Acres
of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of
Section 22, Township 42 North, Range II, East of the
Third Principal Meridian, in Cook County, Illinois.
I That the area in question is basically rundown having several vacant
stores and that the cocktail lounge in question will take on the atmosphere of
its immediate environs and will contribute to the down-grading of the area in
question over that which already exists.
I
That the general area in which this is situated has a bright future
prospect because of the growth of Randhurst nearby which in the normal growth
of development will bring a better type of commercial business at the location
described.
Section 3. This resolution shall be in full force and effect from and
after its passage and approval according to law and that the Village Clerk of
the Village of Mount Prospect is hereby directed to transmit same to all neces-
sary parties.
