From: Zoning Board of Appeals
Re: CASE 63-22, Haberkamp P~operty
Contract Purchasers: John A. Minardi and Ronald M. Mansen
Attorney: Robert J. Di Leona~di
Heard September 13, 1963
This case involves the property at the northeast portion
of Central Road and Elmhurst Avenue. Most of the property is now
zoned B-3, a portion is now zoned R-1. It is proposed for an
apartment development under the R-q 'Resident ial Planned District.
The Zoning Board of Appeals voted q-2 to deny the petition.
Eugene F. Martin, Chairman
Trustee Ek~en stated that this case had been turned over To the
fi~m of Gene Baughmann, professional city planners, for their advice, --
and it was thought that a better layout could be negotiated.
Baughmann addressed the assembly and explained that his preliminary
findings showed that the area allowed for private street should be
removed from the FAR ratio and treated area-wise in the same fashion
as a public street; also that a well-laid-out R-~ zoning would
ceive greater consideration from the courts than the present business
zoning.
Various citizens arose and voiced objections to this rezoning as fol-
lows:
HoRoD~ew
703 Sunset Rd.: Is against apartments in general as he feel they in-
crease the tax burden.
Alex Dressel
28 M. Pine ~ Implied that this delay was for the benefit of the
petitioners only, asked for immediate action; stated
he would prefer a nice business building, as for
insurance. Was told that this comes under B-2
ton ing.
Ethel Kolerus
9 N. Pine : Stated that the neighbors could not tell the pr~per:y
owner what he must use his property for, but didob- --
ject to the great increase in density of population
at this one spot.
Gary Wllies
112 N. Russell: State he saw no plans for storage of large amounts
of garbage which would accumulate; that garbage a%
similar buildings a= Main and Central is carelessly
stored at one building~ taking up needed car parking
space.
Roland Becket
119 N. Emerson: (Letter read by T~ustee Casterlinm). Objected to erection

Me ~o Paterson
12~ N. Russell:Noted that each apartment had but one in,ess and
egress and thought that this did not come undem
the safety and fi~e laws of the state.
T~ustee Caste~line proposed that this zoning appeal be denied in
view of the meeommendation of ~ of the 6 Zoning Board membems and
the objections of the citizens. T~ustee Phillips stated that he
lived near this a~aa and w~uld like to heat further views from
~. Bau~nn. M~. Bau~ann came forward a~ain and pointed out
