To the village Beard of Trustees July 28, 1943
Mt. Prospect, I11.
Gentlemen:
The Plan Commission submits the following recommendations on the Lonnquist Garden
plat which was referred to the Commission by the Village Board on June 25, 1945.
After the most thoughtful coneideration,,we have arrived at the following con-
clusions which we hereby present to you.
It is our recommendation that the proposed plat designated as the Lonnquiat Gardens
be rejected by the Village Board for the following reasons:
I. The type of building proposed does not conform to the type of build-
ing we had previously planned for that area, as was recommended to
the Village Board in July 1941, . with the stipulation that the miniumum
building restriction should be $7,500. per single family dwelling.
2. It is also our opinion that the proposed development of duplex style
of buildings would tend to depreciate the value of adjacent property.
3. The street pavement proposed would be below the requirement outlined
in the motion passed by your Board on June 9, 1943. In this connection
the Commission feels that a minimum requirement for pavement should be
Portland Cement Concrete no less than eight inches thick and twenty
five feet wide.
4. The Commission believes that the Village should not accept any sub-
division plats without curbs and sidewalks being provided.
•

May we also point out that there is already a serious 'shortage of water in the
Village and any additional demands on our water supply at this time, by this
proposed subdivision would further endanger the supply of water to the entire
village.
It should also be noted that our present school accomodations are'over crowded
and it is questionable whether our present facilities could handle any addition-
al enrollment from this dubdivieion.
While these latter two points are not within the jurisdic4tion of the Planning
Commission, we feel that it is to the beat interests of the Village that they
be considered.
We are rettrnitig the plats and copies of building plans to you with this letter.
Respectfully submitted,
The Mt. Prospect
Plan Commission
N. J. Trunkey (signed)
W. J. Trunkey,
Secretary.
This letter was referred to the Judiciary Committee for further consideration.
Mr. Bluett requested that the Board contact the State:.Highwayr Department in regard
to filling the existing gully on North Main Street (Route #83) between Gregory
Street and mory Lane. The Clerk was advised to inform the State Highway of this
gu l ly. \ ..
It was moved by Trustee Kirchhoff seconded by Trustee Wax that the Vi.11age'will
accept for maintenance North Lille Street and Gregory Street resurfacing, if
installed according to the specifications of Skokie Valley Asphalt Company's
letter dated July 21, 1943 and as approved by the Village engineers.
Ayes= Greinke, Haas, Kirchhoff, Mott, flax and'Wills No Nays.
