The proposal includes the construction TIF #~1: of 51 townhome/arbor homes. Due to the fact that the HEMPHILL Village does not have a townhouse zoning district, the most appropriate zoning in order to build this development is R-3. The subject property has a variety of zoning districts at present. Also requested is a Special Use in the nature of a Planned Unit Development in order to allow 51 units on one lot of record. The third case deals with numerous variations necessary to develop the parcel as presented. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended by votes of 6-0 that all these requests be granted.

ZBA 8-V-88 ZBA 8-V-88, 701 East Prospect Avenue 701 E.PROSPECT The Petitioner is requesting Ordinance No. 3510 be repealed, which revoked a previous ordinance which granted a variation to permit 48 parking spaces on the subject property as well as permitting the elimination of the loading dock. This property had been the subject of a problem with employee parking throughout the neighborhood due to the fact that the company grew beyond the ability of the premises to accommodate all the employees. A problem also existed with the many truck deliveries, especially since there is no working loading dock. The Petitioner stated that the present owner has offered to exchange the subject property for property she owns in Des Plaines, however, the building is presently non-conforming. At this time the Petitioner does not know who would lease the balance of the building and therefore could not request specific variations for that use. The following residents expressed their concerns: Tom Manion, 501 S. Edward Jim Ewall, 711 Sha Bonee Trail Jim Payne, 507 S. Edward Bob Lowe, 703 E. Sha Bonee Trail George Weideman, 801 E. Prospect Avenue The concerns expressed included the neighbors fears that another similar situation would develop; safety for the children in the neighborhood; some type of safe-guard as to what use would be permitted in this building. The Petitioner stated that she would be willing to include a clause in any lease stating that if at any time the tenant did not meet Village regulations the lease would be terminated. There was discussion relative to the loading dock and the fact that any business that would occupy the space would continue to have deliveries and therefore it would be advisable to require the loading dock. The Petitioner stated that while outward appearances indicate the loading dock still exists, on the inside the building has been altered and if the owner does not agree to reconstruct the loading area the expense would be prohibitive on the Petitioner. Members of the Village Board stated that if the Petitioners request was granted, the Ordinance would include verbage to protect the neighbors against the type of problems experienced in the past. Trustee Wattenberg, seconded by Trustee Arthur, moved to rescind Ordinance No. 3510 thereby granting a variation for 48 parking spaces subject to the establishment of standards and conditions regulating on-site loading, allocation of parking spaces and types of uses. Failure to adhere to said standards and conditions shall result Page 4 - 2/2/88 19 in termination of any lease entered into by owner and/or revocation of variations granted for the subject Droperty.
