Prospect V It is the unanimous decision of the Zoning Commis- sion to recommend that the petitioned rezoning from R -1 to B of lots 205, 206, end 207 fronting on Main Street just north of Central. Road be rejected. This request was considered at a public hearing on November 9, 1949, It was at this hearing that the original request for rezoning lots 187 to 207 was amended to petition only for lots 205 206, and 207. It developed that since Village Ordinance #281 was enacted (rezoning of lots 185 to 207 from R -2 to R -1) the character of the surrounding area has been established -- largely on the strength of the existinP zoning. The Commission are of the opinion, therefor, that a rezoning action as peti- tioned would be detrimental to the interests of the property owners in involved area, and most assuredly to the orderly zoning of the village. Recommended: George L. Busse Martin Chairman Secretary The Clerk then read a letter from a property owner opposed to the rezoning and also four letters from property owners approving the proposed rezoning. The matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee for their study. The following communication was then read: November 22, 19149 153 November 22, 1949 President and Board of Trustees Village of Mt.

We understand the Bank property is to acquire the land on which the building stands. n private alley of 20 ft. is to be located in back of the properties facing Busse Avenue. The dedication of the 16 ft. alley at the north end of the property was accented by action of the Village Board on their regular meeting dated June 1947 and is not involved in this action; however, the Village plan calls for 20 ft. alleys. The plat is recommended for approval by the Village Board, subject to and in compliance with the Village plan and zoning ordinance.
