Blair is opposed to a twO~-- story structure and because this matter had not been listed on a ~ublished a~enda of the..Page 5: Ihclude following statement of Trustee eichert, and the Judiciary Committee Report: "A previous meeting of this committee included on its agenda an informal discussion with representatives of Farmer Cooper's, Inc. concerning the variations to Statement be considered formally tonight. Subsequent to that meeting, public Trustee relations material disseminated to the Board of Trustees indicated Teichert that the attorney for Farmer Cooper's was Mr. Donald Bgan of the firm Far, er of Rothschild, Hart, Stevens and Barry." "Litigation has been Cooper's recently commended in which I have been named a defendant, and I have retained the firm of Rothschild, Hart, Stevens and Barry to represent me. Under these circumstances, so there can be no mis- understanding in this matter, I wish'to disqualify myself from voting on item 6?-lA, both in this committee and when the subject is before the Board of Trustees." "I should point out that while I will not vote on the variations, I do intend to express my views. Any implication of conflict of interest will be avoided if I refrain from exercising the power to grant or deny the variations...but the right to discuss the matter and express my feeling is still mine as a citizen of Mount Prospect." The Judiciary Committee Repe~t of Board of Appeals Case 67-1A"This is a request by Farmer Cooper's, Inc. for approval of certain variations so that they can build and operate a particular style restaurant on property facing on Kensington immediately east of the Holiday Inn Motel. In essence, these varia- tions are sought: 1. Land ~se; 2. Building height; 5. Building or sign height. 1. As to the land use, it is presently zoned R-1 and the contemplated use is B-3. This parcel is surrounded by and could quite properly be rezoned to B-3. The variation for land use is in conformity with the immediate area and is merely a procedural expediency for the petitioner. The Board of Appeals unanimously recommends approval of the specified use as a variation." 2. The main barn-like structure has a roof peak of 52' and an overhead crossbeam height of 10'. It is a matter of argument whether the crossbeams or the roof should be considered the ceiling, and therefore, whether a variation is needed at all. However, the Board of .Appeals chose to consider this matter in conjunction with the third point." 3. A silo structure is adjacent and connected to the main barn-like structure. The silo stands 45' and houses machinery, air conditioning equipment and water storage. In view of its function and connection to the barn-like structure, the silo can be considered as integral with the barn and we would then be discussing a height variation for a building. The silo can, of course, also be considered an January 25, 1967 advertising device and we would then be talking in terms of a height variation for a sign. The petitioner states it partakes of both functions. Regardless of the theory involved, the contem- plated structure carmot be built unless approved by this Board as a variation. The Board of Appeals voted S-1 to not recommend the variation and suggested consideration of increased setback." "It would appear that the variations are interrelated and the petitioner considers them as "one package", tie has a set plan and complete program which he wishes to initiate in Mount Prospect. The concept requires variations which this Board can grant or deny. "In discus§ion, two questipns appeared to require answers. First, is the concept compatible with the area? Second, does the concept justify the variations?" RECOS~NDATION "b Judiciary Co~ittee reconmends the request for variations be denied." "Note: For reasons they will state to the Board, Trustee Teichert and Trustee Bergen disqualified themselves from voting on this matter." End of Judiciary Conmittee Report. Trustee Bergen stated he did not wish to participate in 0tiscussion of Farmer Cooper's and requested this be included in the Minutes. Correction of typographical error, last paragraph: "next" should read ~'not". Trustee Bruhl, seconded ~y Trustee Grittani, moved the minutes of January 17, 1967 be approved as amended. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Colfer Ekren Grittani Teichert Motion carried. President Congreve read a communication from Farmer Cooper's and deferred same ~mtil later in the meeting.

Case 66-28P - }&ack Cadillac - Request R-X to Zoning Ed. Petitioner seeks rezoning for expansion of a going business, not Case 66-28P establishment for additional uses. By a vote of 2-1 the Judiciary Committee recormaended approval subject to a suitable resubdivision plat filed, incorporating lots 7 and 8 with the existing B-3 parcel. Trustee Bergen, tile dissenting voter, feels rezoning of lots 7 and 8 would jeopardize the zoning of lots 1 - 6. Trustee Teichert, seconded .~y Tmmtee Colfer, moved to concur with the Judiciary Conmittee recomending annexation of the subject lots 7 and 8 with subsequent rezoning to B-3, provided said lots are integrated into the existing adjacent B-3 property through a suitable subdivision plat.

PLAN COMMISSION CASE 67-1A FArriER COOPER'S ~4r. Donald E. Egan appeared on belmlf of Farmer Cooper's Inc. - applicant for variation located at Kensington Road between Wilshire Plan Avenue and Rand Road. In his letterpreviously read before this Case 67-1A Board he stated the previous meeting left this matter unresolved, and requested the height variation be placed on tonight's meeting for further consideration. Five votes are needed to override the decision of the Board of Appeals and he wishes to exhaust all administrative remedies. There must be a final decisive vote either' concurringwith or overruling the decision of the Board of Appeals. A modified p~oposed building and silo plan was presented, changing the silo height from 45' to 38'8" and setback to SS' from front of the property, and the front of the building to 39' from the front lot line. The roof of the building was lowered from 4 to 6". The petitioner guarantees that the silo would not be used for a sign. If the property is not used by Farmer Cooper's the silo would be removed. A second floor could never be added because the space above beams could not be converted to a loft or second story. Trustee Bruhl requested that Trustee Teichert change his position of non- voting on this issue, as he could not see such conflict. Trustee Teichert reiterated his position on non-voting. Trustee Colfer stated the petitioner has made some effort to rework his project to meet zoning standards. Trustee Colfer, seconded by Trustee Bruhl, moved that the Board overrule the Board of Appeals in their recommendation in Case 67-1A and that the variation be granted to construct a silo of 58'8" with a setback of 55 feet; that the front setback of the building be set at 59 feet from front building line; that the silo be torn down in tt~ event that the property is sold or used for another use, and that no second floor be utilized.
