Chairman Rogers introduced Case PZ-OI-09, 309-313 W. Prospect Avenue, a request for a Plat of Vacation and a
Plat of Resubdivision, at 7:37 p.m.
Ms. Andrade, Development Review Planner, said the Petitioner for case PZ-OI-09 was requesting approval of a
Plat of Vacation and Plat of Resubdivision for the property known as 309-313 W. Prospect Avenue.
Ms. Andrade stated in 2008 the subject property received zoning approval to construct a three unit townhome
development. As part of the zoning approval, the Petitioner was required to square off the public right-of-way at
the comer ofthe intersection and to resubdivide the property.
Ms. Andrade said the Plat of Vacation would vacate 533 square feet of the Village owned right-of-way located at
the northwest comer of the intersection of Busse and Elmhurst A venue. The vacated area would be dedicated to
the adjacent property that belongs to the Petitioner.
Ms. Andrade stated the Plat of Resubdivision would create four lots of record to allow for the construction of the
proposed townhomes. Lot number 4 would be a common area, in which the owners of lots #1 to 3 would have
access to and be held responsible to maintain. The construction of structures on Lot #4 would not be permitted.
The plat would also dedicate a drainage easement at the southeast comer of the site.

Ms. Andrade said Staff reviewed the plats and found that the plats were prepared in accordance with all Village
Codes and requirements noted in Section 15.304 of the Village Code. Based on this, Staff recommended that the
Planning and Zoning Commission approve case number PZ-OI-09. The Village Board's decision is final for this
case.
Chairman Rogers confirmed that the townhomes on the site were previously approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Ms. Andrade stated that this was correct. In 2008, the subject property received zoning
approval for a Conditional Use and Variation to construct a three unit townhome development. Ms. Andrade said
the Petitioner was requesting an extension of the zoning approvals and is scheduled to appear before the Village
Board.
Chairman Rogers swore in the Petitioner, Paul Swanson, 401 E. Prospect Ave., Mount Prospect, Illinois. Mr.
Swanson stated he was coming back before the Planning and Zoning Commission because of the general market
conditions. Since the market is improving, he hoped to start the project in the spring time.

Avenue and South Elmhurst Avenue; and
