Gentlemen:
In reply to your informal request by the
chsirman of the ,udiciery committee, Mr. R.C. Rayne,
the Fist Commission rnet with the Judie ;cry committee
Monday evening, Jan. 21, 1952 at 8 p.m. in the
village hall.
The iudici.ary corrmi.ttee's reques .for our
opinion on the rezoning of the residentinl Property
located south of t"P N.W.R.R. trseks end east of
and ad,1oinir.g Lions Memori� +1 Park to r+anufactnrin�
was considered and discussed. We understand this
property is ben considered ty the both Manufactur-
ing Company, for whom we already have approved a
location west of Mr. Prospect zoned for light
manufacturing.
Mr. Dresser eypressed the opinion that the
property should remain residential in character as
at present. It is close to the R.h. station
(three blocks) and is near the central portion of
Mt. Prospect. It is desirable residential property,
net to the new Lions Memorial Park, and all land
on three ad.iacent sides is .'oned for residential
turroses.
It is recommended to the Vi 1. l age Board that
the property remain as at present and not be made
available for irdustrial purposes.
Tre nearby property owners nurchesed their
homes knowing that this lend was Zoned for residen-
tial purposes. It would be e detriment to the
community to alter the present arrroved zoning
plans so as to indicate unstable and unreliable
futures for this location as well as other residen-
tial locations in Mt. Prospect, a town which at
Present is considered one of the best home areas
in Cook County. February 5, 1952
It was the unanimous opinion of the Plan 277
Commission that this - property remain zoned for
residential purposes. Mr. S.W. Harrington,
chairman of the commission, was not present at

formed of the business transacted. Be also
wishes to convey his opinion to the Board that
the property not be zoned for industrial purposes,
and that he is in agreement with the other
members of the Plan Commission.
Sincerely yours,
Plan Commission of Mt. prosr.ect

President and Board of Trustees
Village of Mt. Prospect
Mt. Prospect, Illinois
Gentlemen:
In reply to your formal reouest regarding the
vacating of streets for Milburn Bros. Central Ave.,
Mt. prospect.
We have made a search of the records of this
property locally and at the county Bldg., end find
that the oripi.nel survey and plat made of Block "A"
for Milburn Bros. in 1929 was submitted to the
Village Board, but no record of its acceptance or
epprovel was found, Because it was not errroved and
recorded it now will be necessary for the. Village
Board to accept or reject the same after the fact.
We are of the opinion that Milburn Bros. should be
advised that it world be to their best interests
end rrotection of the4r property to dedicate Forest
Ave. The property owner to the east, Mr. Cole, should
also be likewise advised. No survey or Plat was ever
submitted for Mr. Cole's pr. opera', and he eefini tely
has violated the buildinp ordinance for failure to
comply.
Sincerely vou.rs,
Plan Commission of Mt. prospect
