President and Board of Trustees
Village of Mt. Prospect
Gentlemen:
In reply to your informal request, the planning
commission met on Tuesday, March 9, 1953, and examined
the plans and specifications for the proposed St.
Raymond Parish School Building, to be located at the
Southwest corner of Milburn and Elmhurst Ave.
--� The electrical, plumbing, heating, and ventilating
plans and specifications meet the requirements of the
Mount Prospect code.
The exi $ts are large enough and are well
distributed and at convenient locations. We noticed,
however, that footings at section "BB" are 2 ft. 3
inches, whereas the wall is 1 ft. 5 inches, an allow-
ance of 5 inches on each side of the wall instead of
6 inches, the code requirements.
The plans and specifications are recommended for
approval by the Village Board, subject to and in
compliance with the Village Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
