1. Sec. 9,301 (B) Recommendation was To "change To
Architectural Committee an~ The Superintendent of Building and
to omlt.'President and Board of Trustees~''.
The reason for a proposed change 'was that the ordinance
seems to imply That the Board must consider every sign application.
The D~son'fbP the present language is to be checked out with
Mr, Hog,rt.~ It was the concensus That The Building Department
should issue permits that meet o~dinance standards and that the
role of the Architectural Committee should be as suggested by
9.301 (E) "review and comment."

sentences of this paragraph which reads: "To meet the expesne of

inspection fee as required by Thlsparagraph shall be charged during

and would retain the eizes established in 9.303 (E) ~ for indivlducal

Trustee Ekren read report from the Boardof Appeals re : Zoning Case
Zouiug Case 62-22: 62-22
Re: Zoning Case 62-22, heard July 27, 1962.
Petitioner: Allan Bloch, agent for the Exchange National Bank
of Chicago as T~usTee under Tr. 9173 (Dan Serafine).
This was a request for rezoning from the present B-1 to R-q
of about 10 acres adjoining the north edge of Mt. Prospect Plaza Shopping
Center, fronting on Westgate Road.
Petitioner proposed to develop an R-~ residential project on
this t0-acre site to contain 256 small-size apartment units. The proposed
access to This apartment area would be Westgate Road, on the east side of
the subject property. Westgate Road is a narrow, thoroughly inadequate
road in vez~ poor condition at the present time and would be absolutely
inadequate to accommodate thetremendous increasein congestion this
development wou~d create. 0nly half of the existing dedication of this
road is an integral part of Mt. Pro~pect, the other half is in the county.
The proposed plat of the apartment project did not have adequate provisions
for ingress or egress to insure the public safety as far as fire and police
protection were concerned. There is already a serious sewage disposal
problem in. the immediate area and this proposal willgreatly intensify this
also. These were the chief concerns of the nea~-by residents who were
eloquently represented by Mr. Frank Ferlic, form Ass't District Attorney.
The Board'of Appeals found that this proposed development would
increase congestin in public streets unreasonably, increase fire hazard
with the poor accessibility to proposed apartments, endanger public safety,
diminish or impair the values of residential properties with the surrounding
areas, impair adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property and in
other respects impair the public health, safety, comforts, morals and welfare
of the people.
The Board of Appeals voted 4-0 to deny the ~equest zoning.
