The zoning Commission met on July 7, 1950 and recommend that the above lots be rezoned from R -2 to B. While opposition to the petition was vigorous, the objections seemed to be chiefly concerned with the probable use of the properties. This is we feel, outside the scope of this Committee. The Commission is of the opinion that this recom- mendation is an orderly extension of existing business property. We feel that this is in keeping with the business needs of our rapidly developing community. Approved: N.S. Falkanger E.F. Martin Chairman Secretary The Clerk then read three letters from home owners objecting to the rezoning. The following petition, signed by 238 citi ? ens of the Village was then read: July 15, 1950 To the Village Board, Mt. Prospect, Illinois "We, the undersigned residents of Mt. Prospect wish to express to the Village Board and the Zoning Board our appreciation of their efforts to maintain our Zoning Ordinance. In this regard may we respectfully call atten- tion to certain pertinent facts concerning a proposal to rezone for business the residential area fronting on Walnut Street, Prospect Manor Avenue and Northwest Highway. 1. A recent court decision recognizes that the areas now zoned for business are ample. 2. The residential area under discussion is only three blocks from the railroad station. . As now zoned it can be developed to provide homes for about twenty families. A represen- tative of the Veterans Administration has stated that such areas are satisfactory for housing loans. !'". 3. Most residents of Prospect Manor bought their homes with the knowledge that the Northwest Highway frontage in this subdivision is zoned for residence. 4. There are three homes on Walnut Street facing the area in question. The front door of one is 96 feet from the proposed business building site. In view of these facts the undersigned hope the Village Board will decide that the present zoning of Prospect Manor Subdivision, Block 24, lots 6 to 13 inclusive, is proper and should be continued."
