Trustee Ek~en read report and memo re Zoning case 64-20, Zoning Case heard on May 15t~,. petit$one, r, Village of Mount P~ospect: 64-20 "This was a request of t~e ~illage for a special use with variation of front set-hack of present I-1 ~ning so as to erect a garage on property located at 11 So. Pine S~reet, owned by the Village. "The Zsning Board of Appeals voted 7-0 to allow the special use request but to disallow the variation." MemoPandum: "The petition of the Village concerns a piece of property located at 11 South Pine Street now zoned I-X and consisting of 228 feet fronting on Pine Street and with a depth of 157 feet or a total land area of 36,000 square feet. It is the proposal of the Village to e~ect a solid masonry building of 24,500 square feet. The Village asks for a special use to cons~uct a building to be used for garage, storage and repair of equipment, The Village also asks for a variation of the front yard requirement so the building can be built to the front lot line rather than the 25-foot set-back requi~ed by our ordinance. "The Board of Appeals voted 7-0 to approve the special use request but voted 7-0 to deny the erection of the building to the front lot line for The. following reasons: 1. The very' apparent dangerous precedent that would he set. ~ · . 2. The danger to citizensfor the two exits opening upon j~h~ 19, 1964 upon the sidewalk with absolutely no a~ea between the sidewalk and The exits that would be used by the vehicles stored in The garage. 3. 'The erection of this proposed building wiThouT proper setback and landscaping would, in The opinion of the members of the Zoning Bo~u~d, create a s~ucTure of unattractive lines and not a worthy addition To The Village. It seems To The -- members of the Hoard that The Village shou%d set an example with its municipal bqildSngs That wou~d add %0 The attractiveness of the Village and also serve as a model for future erection of other buildingsinThe Village. The members of the Zoning Board were also of the opinion that the Village failed to prove a hardship in This case, which is a requirement of ou~ o~dinance in o~der To g~anT a variation. The members of The Zoning Boaz, d were als0 of the opinion That they must adhere To the legal requirements as set forth by the ordinance rather Thanto rule upon questions and requests based upon The advantages to the Village that would accrue To the Village Management resulting fmom the erection of The p~oposed building upon ,an insufficient land a~ea fo~ the building area proposed. A suggestion was made, agreed to By The Village Attorney, that The pmoposed building could be Built to within five feet of the rear lot line and This would, in effect, mean That The front of The building would be e~ected with a~provision for a fifteen- foot front yard set-back. This would mequiz'e a ten-foot variation for The front yard setback ~nd a five-foot variation for the rear yard setback which would be mo~e accpptable tothe Zoning Board of ~-~ Appeals. -E~ F.
