RESOLUTION NO. ~-'~-':--+~'~I
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING REZONING OF CERTAIN PROPERTY
IDCATED IN COOK COUNTY - COOK COUNTY BOARD OF
APPEALS CASE NOS. 587, 588 and 589.
WHEREAS, the petitioner has requested the rezoning of
1.4 acres at the southeast corner of Algonquin and Elmhurst Roads
from B-2 Restricted Service District to B-4 General Service
Dis'l;rict for restaurant and cocktail lounge, see legal descrip-
tion attached, from the Zoning Board of Appeals of Cook County,
Case No. 587, and
WHh~AS said petitioner in Case No. 588 has sought the
rezoning of 2.48 acres immediately south of the above described
area from R-4 Single Family Residence District to B-3 General
Business District, see legal attached, and
WHEREAS, the petitioner in Case No. 589 has also sought
the rezoning of 15.96 acres immediately east of the foregoing
along Algonquin Road from R-4 Single Family Residential to R-5
General Residence for Multi-family for the purpose of constructing
243 apartment units, see legal attached, and
WHEREAS, the above described properties are within one and
one half mile of the Village of Mount Prospect's boundaries, and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees of the Village
of Mount Prospect, Cook County, Illinois, believe that the granting
of the above request for rezoning will be against public interest
and adverse to public health, morals and general welfare.
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 President and Board of Trustees do
hereby object to the granting of the rezoning sought in the above
cases for the following reasons:
1. The property in question is and should remain
single family residential since the use of the property to the
east of the property in question is for a Catholic Church which is
compatible to single family residential. Immediately adjoining the
property to the south are twelve new single family homes, most of
which are still under construction, in the $28,000 to $30,000 price
range, built by Miller Builders who intends to erect a total of
120 single family homes in this location, some of which back up
to Elmhurst Road, in the vicinity of the property in question.
Both Elmhm~st Road and Algonquin Road form good zoning dividing
lines along the west and north, respectively, separating the
property in question from the multi-family uses to the north.
2. The proposed Miller development to the south
positively indicates that not only is single family residential
development suitable but also is desirable in the area and that
if the property in question remains as zoned it too will be
developed single family residential rather than as proposed.
3. The details of the proposed apartments were vague
as to storm drainage, sanitary sewer and water, and the plans of
the buildings were such that fire equipment could not get to the
middle of the buildings. Rural fire equipment serves this area
and neither the equipment nor the man-power is available to
adequately handle same. Consequently fire hazard would be increased
by the proposal submitted.
4. The proposed cocktail lounge is objectionable since
it is nearby a Church and the United Airlines Stewardess Training
Center.
5. The proposed development taxes public facilities
beyond their ability, intrudes upon normal residential growth, is
harmful to nearby and surrounding property values and the Church
property abutting to the east. The roads proposed are private,
20 feet in width and inadequate to handle fire equipment. Continued
apartment zoning in areas such as the one in question saturates said
areas with populations for which there are inadequate public facili-
ties, fire and police protection, storm drainage, and roadway
systems to handle increased traffic.
Section 2. The Village Attorney is hereby directed to
submit a copy of this resolution to the County Clerk, Cook County
Zoning Board of AppealS, Cook County Board of Commissioners and
other interested persons.
Section 3. This resolution shall be in full force and effect
from and after its passage and approval according to law.
