Attorney Hofert stated that he would contact the railroad.

This motion csrried by acclamation. Novembgr 17~ 1964 Trustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee Phillips, moved Zoning, 196~ that the Zoning Board be allowed extension of time to the B Districts first week in January, 1965 to turn over to the Board of Trustees their recommendations regarding B District amend- ments. This motion carried by acclamation. Trustee Ekren read the following report and memo re Zoning Case 6~-35: Zoning Case 64-35 RMp~t: Re: Case 64-35, Petitioners Edward F. Fiedler, Owner and Dwain F. Marquette, D.D.S., contract purchaser This was a request for rezoning from the present R- i to B-2, professional office, of property located at 7 North Ridge Ave. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-0 to deny the requested rezoning. E~ F. Martin, Chairman H. H. Ross, Acting Secretary Memorandum: This request to change a presently zoned R-1 lot to B-2 (the present building is a residence, to be left un- changed, but used for business) was met with pronounced opp0- sition from adjacent property owners to the north and other residents of R-1 property in the immediate area. A petition was submitted by the adjacent legal ob- jector, signed by twenty-three near-by neighbors on North Ridge, Walnut Street and West Henry Street, strongly objecting to the proposed rezoning. The petitioner's plans to use the present R-1 residence as a professional building was considered ill-advised by the members of the Zoning Board. If this lot were to be rezoned from R-1 to B-2, it is unlikely that we would be able to stop the creeping encroachment of B~2 zoning into this R-1 residential area. We feel that it would be a serious mistake and would des- troy the future property values and rights of the seven R-1 owners to the north and other R-1 property owners in the vici- nity, and would otherwise have an adverse effect on the welfare of the residents of the village. This lot and the seven to the north of it are separated from the business zoning to the south by a P-1 zoned lot, which we consider an adequate buffer zone. Rezoning of the subject lot to B-2 would destroy this buffer zone. The petitioner also planned to use the rear of this lot for off-street parking of patients' cars, with ingress and egress to this area on Elmhurst Avenue, a narrow village Street. The other property owners in this particular block have been denied permits to exit their driveways on to Elmhurst Avenue. It is~unlikely that the peti- tioner would be permitted to do so either. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-0 to deny the re- quested rezoning. E. F. Martin, Chairman H. H. Ross, Acting Sec'y. This case was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Novemb'er 17, 196~ Trustee Ekren read the following report and memo Zoning re Zoning Case 64-13: Case 64-13 This was a request for rezoning from R-1 to B-1 contingent upon annexation, of property located at ~05 West Golf Road. At the regular public hearing held October 30, 196g, the Zoning Board of Appeals heard the above mentioned case. This was a re-hearing of this case necessitated by an illegal publication of notice on the first scheduled hearing, March 20, 196~. There were numerous objectors present, including two residents immediately across Golf Road north of the subject property. All of the objectors present raised serious questions regarding the advisability of rezoning this property to B-1 and the creased traffic that would be generated in this area. The petitioner has changed his anticipated use of this lot from the original hearing, when he stated that he would use this lot only as a driveway ro obtain access to the rear service areas of the proposed shopping area to the south. The Zoning Board of Appeals, after spending a considerable amount of time and expending a maximum amount of effort to ob- tain facts and information from the petitioner (the presentation offered by the petitioner was practically nil) voted 5-0 to deny the petition. E. F. Martin, Chairman H. H. Ross, Acting Secretary MEMORANDUM November 10, 196~ Re: Case 6~-13 - Petitioner: Salvatore Di Mucci This was a re-hearing of case 6g-13, originally heard at the regular public hearing of the Zoning Board on March 20, 1964. This re-hearing was ruled necessary because it was determined that the publication of the notice for the hearing was illegal. This was a request for rezoning from R-1 to B-l, contingent upon annexation of property located at ~05 West Golf Road. The presentation made by the petitioner was very, very brief and gave the Zoning Board very little information upon which to base an opinion and recommendation. Intensive questioning by Board members revealed that the petitioner has completely changed his original intention (clearly stated in the original hearing) of using this lot only as a driveway to provide access to the rear service areas of the Shopping Center ~etitioner plans for the B-1 zoned property to the south and east of sub- ject property. It should be pointed ouz that the subject lot is, by itself, not large enough to be developed as B-l, since it would not permit the erection of a building with an aggregate -- floor area of more than 20,000 square feet nor is it 2-1/2 acres in area. This parcel of land must be considered in conjunction with other B-1 zoned property owned by the petitioner iT the immediate area. The Zoning Board of Appeals felt that the petitioner's plan~ for the entire B-i Shopping Center area should be clearly determined before consideration should be given to rezoning of this particular parcel. The entire area to be used for B-1 Shop- Novmeber 17, 1964 ing Center should be clearly and orderly designed and Zoning Case planned to provide the best possible commercial development, 64-13 not a ~odge-podge~ One member of the Board disclosed the possibility that a building could be so constructed so as to wrap around the R-1 zoned lot to the east by building on the subject property and also on B-1 zoned property east of the R-1 property in,the middle. The Board considered this very poor zoning. The petitioner presented the Zoning Board with NO drawings, sketches or plans detailing his intentions for the develop- ment of this property. He said that there were plans in the building department, but failed to produce copies of these for consideration by the Zoning Board. When asked by the Board members if he planned to build up the Golf Road lot on subject property, and when asked if he would be willing to covenant that buildings would have a lO0-foot setback from the Golf Road lot line, the petitioner would only reply, "I will covenant to llve up to the B-1 zoning require- ments''. Petitioner, when pressed for a more specific answer, would not agree to covenant that he would not build up to the Golf Road lot line and would not agree to a covenant to main= rain a tOO-foot setback. B-1 requires no setback, but the Zoning Board unanimously agreed that a setback of 100 feet (minimum) at this particular location was essential because of the very heavy traffic on Golf Road already at this point and because of the residential property on the west, east and north of the subject lot. We feel very strongly that buildings should be kept well away from major, busy highways. Legal objectors who live at 402 and 404 West Golf Road, imme- diately north of the subject property across Golf Road, pleaded with the Zoning Board not to rezone the property to B-1 and per- mit buildings up to the lot line and to increase the traffic in this area. About 40 other near-by residents objected to the rezoning on the grounds of devaluation of the R-1 property values and a fear for the safety of their children with the increased du~mping of traffic on to Golf Road. In view of the petitioner's change in plans for the use of the subject property, the petitioner's unwillingness to covenant that he would agree to a lO0-foot setback from Golf Road lot llne and the petitioner's reluctance to provide adequate information at the hearing regarding his plans for the development and use of this land, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-0 to deny the recuested rezoning. E. F. Martin, Chairman H. H. Ross, Acting Secretary Trustee Ekren, read the following letter from Mr. Di Mucci: November 16, 1964 Gentlemen: According to my land planner, it would best serve the i~rests of the Village and provide the highest and best use for the prop- erty located at 405 Golf Road to accord it B-3 zoning. In so doing, if the Village wishes to put a restriction in its B-3 November 17, 1964 zoning to exclude a structure such as a filling station, that would be agreeable to me. With this stipulation in mind, I wish to stay with my original application for B-3 zoning for this property. If my application for B-3 zoning with this condition is not satisfactory to the Village, I will have to consider withdraw- ing my petition for annexation. Yours very truly, Salvat~re Di Muccl Attorney Hofert gave the opinion that the Board of Trustees could not arbitrarily allow a B-3 zoning inasmuch as the Appeala had been made for B-1. Trustee Ekren, seconded by Trustee Phillips., moved that the Board concur with the Zoning Board to deny this request. Upon roll call: Ayes: Bergen Bruhl Busse Ekren Casterline Phillips Motion carried. Annexations Trustee Ekren read the following letter from Dave McCoy, Brickman Vice president of Brickman Mid-West Corporation: Nov~ber 16~ 1964 Mr. Parker Ekren, Chairman Judiciary Committee Village of Mount Prospect Dear Sir: We are presently contemplating submitting two tracts of land to the Village of Mount Prospect for annexation and zoning. These tracts, which are adjacent to the Randhurst Shopping Center, and the improvements proposed for them have been presented to the Village Board informally several times in the past. We now feel that a formal presentation should be made and that..ordinances and plan data covering the uses proposed be prepared. This will require, we presume, work by your Village Planner to integrate the proposed uses with your existing code and the present uses in the area. Consequently, we would llke to once again repeat our offer made at one of the preliminary hearings, that we be per- mitred to pay one half the cost of the Planner's fee incurred in reviewing the proposed uses and drafting any necessary additions or changes to your ordinances. We feel this work will be best expedited if we can work directly with your planner as we have done in the past but of course feel that we should pay for our share of his time expended. Will you please advise us if this procedure is acceptable in order that we may contact your Planner and proceed with the preparation of the necessary exhibits. Very truly yours, David S. McCoy, Vice President J. M. Brickman Mid-West Corp. The Board decided to discuss this matter further next week after more information had been gathered. November 17, 1964 The following letter from the Division of Highway, Highway Div. state of IllinOis was read: Traffic October 28, 1964 Dear Mayor Schlaver: This letter will confirm the action taken at our meeting of October 27~ 1964, regarding the signalization of Elmhurst Road (Illinois 83) and Gregory Street. We will permit the erection of temporary School CrosSing Stop signals as an interim control measure while plans are being prepared for the full actuated Signalization of this intersection. It is understood that these signals will be pedestrian actuated and operative only during school hours. These temporary ~fgnals will be removed upon the installation of permanent full actuated equipment or by May 1, 1965. Our Field Traffic Engineer has been instructed to investigate the intersections of Elmhurst Road and Gregory Street, and Elmhurst Road and Lonnqulst Boulevard, for proper posting of the school speed limits, We will also schedule traffic counts at the Lonnquist Boulevard and Council Trail intersection with Elmhurst Road.

I am also including a map showing the locations of the places where we should pass parking ordinances. The red lines show the locations where all parking should be pro- hibited. It should be noted that parking is already prohibited in some of these locations. The brown lines show the locations where the State will permit parallel parking between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 PM. for a 2-year period beginning October 1, 1964. After this time, this parking should also be prohibited. November 17, 1964 The enclosed resolution should,beaccepted as soon Highway Division as possible so that the State can proceed with the lettin~ 83 of contracts early next year.

R. Hemmeter SUBJECT: NORTHWEST HIGHWAY - S.B.I. Route 19 Section. 1964-15-RS Cook County Dear Mr. Hemmeter: Regarding my answer to your letter of September 28, the Design Department along with the Traffic Department have reviewed the comments made in your letter and have come to the final results. In view of the type of improvement proposed for Northwest Hi~h- way, emergency parking or short=type paraltel~parking on should- ers, at locations where no curb and gutte~ exists or is proposed with this improvement will be allowed. Where curb and ~utter is proposed for geometrics, no ~arking w, ill be allowed on shoulders with the following exception, betWeen Maple and Wille Streets, and on Main Street north and sou~h of Northwest~HiEhway within the limits of the proposed improvement. See Attached plan for locations. Parallel parking will be al~wed (from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.) with the following provision. Parkingwoutd beprohibited on or before Oetober 1, 196S at the above described locations. It is our opinion that two (2) years is more than adequate for a Vil- lage to find off-street parking. From a reViewof off-street parking spaces, it would appear that the Village of Mount Pros- pect should be able to locate other nearby streets fo~ off- street parking. It is the opinion of this office that in view of Arlington Heights' willingness to approve no parking along the Northwest Highway within the Village, the two (2) year parking allowance is a fair consideration. Regarding Item No~ 6 in your letter, our Traffic Department has reviewed our signal at Mount Prospect Road and Northwest Highway and Prospect Avenue with Mount Prospect Road and it is their opinion that the State can adequatelyresolvethe traffic problem at this location with geometrics and traffic signal revisions as proposed. Regarding Item No. 7 pertaining to authorization to install left- turn green arrows at Main S~reet and Northwest Highway and Emerson Street and Northwest Highway to permit~turning traffic, our Traf- fic Department again has indicated that as long as warrants are reached, such installations may be considered. Re~arding a request to install a traffic signal at,Main Street and Prospect Avenue and at Central Roadand Prospect Avenue, such installations are acceptable so long as they meet with traffic warrants andare designed similar to the synchronized traffic signals as constructed by the State on~M~unt Prospect Road and Prospect Avenue and Mount Prospect Road and Northwest Highway. November 17, 1964 Modifications in our proposed agreement will include the traffic allowance from Wille to Maple Streets and along Main Street with parallel parking allowed from 9:00 A.M. To ~:00 P.M. Regarding all other parking, it would ap- pear to be unneoessary Zo include in the agreement since The Village will be the police-in-force. I am atzaching, herewith, the revised agreement for your execution. Plans are being forwarded To your office under separate cover, We have requested Springfield zo include this work for let- ting in 1965. Please expedite as soon as possible, so as not To hold up possible letter daze. Very truly yours, C. A. Benowicz District Engineer By Arthur C. Braming PresidenZ.

For this reason we are embarking on a new and novel program to accomplish this goal. We are establishing what we will call an "Advisory Board" made up of sOme of ~he most influential and dedicated men in the .fire service. The Chairman of this Board is to be an executive of American LaFrance and his duties would be only the organization of meetings and the. dissemination of com- munications to all members of the board. We feel the type of individuals we choose would be very valuabte to us to keep~us advised of trends and innovations in this business of fighting fire and.~hereby would help us to give to this industry theproducts that are necessary. You will be hear- ing more of the de~ails shortly. Briefly, plans at this stage would be to communicate ideas on a quarterly basis and meet once a year for discussion of ideas presented'during the year. Tenure on the Board would be for a two year period with possible reappoin~ment for ad- ditional service if mutually agreeable. Due to you~ position of influence for the good of the fire service and recognizing your past activities, we would be honored if you would accept a position on this Advisory Board. This is to be a twelve-man Board and we are sure many of your friends and associates will be serving with you. The actual time you will have'to spend on this Board would be nominal~ the important thing being that your ideas for improvement in the fire service, where we as a manufacturer could help, would be channeled to us. If you agree to be a part of this Advisory Board we ask that you please inform us by letter at your'earliest comvenience. We will carry the ball from there and keep you. advised of fur- ther activity. Yours very truly, W. J. Rainer Vice President - Marketing November 17, 196~ P.S.
