RESOLUTION NO. 11-64
A RESOLUTION DIRECTED TO THE COUNTY CLERK OF COOK COUNTY
FOR TRANSMITTAL TO THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
IN A CASE DOCKETED BY THE COOK COUNTY ZONING BOARD OF
APPEALS AS DOCKET NO. 713.
NOW. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Mount Prospect. Cook County. Illinois:
Section 1. That the Village of Mount Prospect pursuant to the
statutes made and provided. does hereby file objections to the request for
rezoning from R-4 Single Family Residence District to B-2 Restricted Service
District in a case docketed by the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals as
Docket No. 713; it being understood that the proposed use is that of a GaDline
Service Station and that said property is legally described as follows:
The South 208.00 feet of the ~ast 275.00 feet of the
East Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 26.
Township 42 North. Range 11. East of the Third Prin-
cipal Meridian. in Cook County. Illinois.
Section 2. That the President and Board of Trustees of the Village
of Mount Prospect object to the foregoing rezoning and especially the use of
the property for a gasoline service station for the reasons:
A - That the zoning of the property as requested. namely
B-2. will in effect constitute spot zoning and that
said spot zoning will have a detrimental effect on
the future development of the remaining three corners
of the intersection of Wolf and Foundry Roads as well
as the value of any and all surrounding property
values.
B - That there is no need. present or in the immediate
future. for gasoline filling stations either at the
place indicated or in the vicinity and that there is
evidence that many g~line filling stations are not
being utilized and have in fact been abandoned and
there is an over supply of gasoline service station
facilities.
C - That the rezoning of the property in question will
have a corrosive effect on not only real estate
values. both present and future. but will merely
further glut the area.
D - The Village of Mount Prospect feels that just because
the property is located at the corner of an intersec-
tion of two roads this does not make it ideally
suited for a gasoline filling station and that the
mere allegation of an increment in value to the owner
should not and cannot be used as the justification for
rezoning corners.
E - It is further felt that the highest and best use of
the property in question is that of R-4 Single Family
Residence and that such use is compatible with the

zoning and the use of property in the immediate
vicinity.
Section 3. This ordinance 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 authorized to submit certified
copies of this resolution to all appropriate parties.
