Appleb¥ read the following letter: August 5, 1958 President & Board of Trustees Mount Prospect, Illinois Gentlemen: parking Your attention is requested to the matter of viblations of the Village ordinances that have been occurring during the past several months on Elmhurst Road between Central Road and Henry Street. Motor vehicles ha~e been repeatedly parked on the pavement in this location in violation of Chapter 18, Article V, Sections 18.~O1 and 18.~02 Of the Mt. Prospect Municipal Code. AUGUSTZ 5, 1958 arking The cited sections of this Code prohibit parking at ~m~e~ch any plac~ where the standing of a vehicle will reduce the era~ usable w~dth of the roadway for moving traffic to less than Home eighteen feet; within twenty feet of an inter,section; within thirty feet of a through street sign on the approaching side or with the left side of the vehicle next to the curbline. The aforementioned Elmhurst Road pavement is eighteen feet, seven inches wide with the exception of a short length of twenty-three foot width pavement near Henry Street. Thus, any motor vehicle parked on the pavement is in violation. The restricted configuration of adjacent streets creates a high volume of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic on Elmhurst Road; pedestrians are forced to walk in the street due to a lack of'sidwalks. Two near-collisions have been reported to the writer. As parking by Friedrich Funeral Home visitors is expected to occur om adjacent residential streets, including Elmhurst Road, continued violation of parking ordinances can be expected~ particularly by persons unfamiliar with Mt. Prospect ordinances. A major hazard to the safet~ and welfare of the residents will be created -- in fact, the hazard now exists. It is requested that the Board of Trustees shall take immediate action to cause appropriate signs reading "No Parking At Any Time" to be erected along both sides of Elmhurst Road between Central Road and Henry Street. Respectfully submitted, S/ G. Michael Mokate, Secretary Northwest Home Owners League This letter was referred to the Police & Light Committee. Mr. Appleby continued by reading the following two letters: ll3 N. Waverly Mayor Theodore Lams c/o Mr. Harold Appleby Mt. Prospect, Ill. Grewe sewer Dear sirs: On or about November 27, 19~7, the sewer lines on my property at ll3 N. Waverly backed up into my basement. Arnold SepticService was called and they pumped out my s~ptic tank. Further investigation found there was a stoppage between the s~ptic tank and tb~ street. As Arnold does not do excavating work~ Northern Illinois Septic and Sewer Construction Company of Wheeling, Illinois, was called in the following day. An excavation was made but no stoppage was found, so a tile was removed from the sewer line at the street (curb) and a rod, inserted out to the main sewer line under the street. Unfortunately, clear passage to the main sewer could not be obtained. A permit was secured from the Village Hall to break through the street and dig down ,_~ to the main sewer. The next day the excavation was made to the main sewer line, and much to everyone's amazement it was discovered that the sewer line from the septic tank was connected to the main sewer line by a small hole in the main sewer line approximately l" to l~" in diameter. No other holes of any size in the main sewer line could be found in the vicinity. Mr. Harry Miller, Village Inspector; Sgt. Esmond, Mt. Prospect Police Force; employees of the Village Water Dept., and several of my neighbors can verify the above facts. It is my understanding that the Village of Mt. Prospect is responsible for the sewer line f rom the burbline out, and therefore I believe I should be reimbursed for the cost Grewe involved, $325.00, as there definitely was carelessness sewers involved on the part of the people who installed the main sewer line and stubs to the curbline, and also on the part of the inspector w~o approved the installation. In no way do I wish to imply that the present admini- stration is responsible for the improper installation, but feel it should assume the ~responsibility of the previous administration. I will be present at the next Village Board~ meeting should any further questions arise. Enclosed are duplicates of the bills from Arnold Septic Service and Northern Illinois Septic and Sewer Construction Company. Looking forward to favorable action on my request of the Village Board, i remain, Very truly yours, S/ Eugene F. Grewe July 25, 1958 Mayor Theodore A. Lams Village of Mt. Prospect Budris Dear sir: sewers On Friday, June 13th, 1958 the sewer lines on my property at l0 N. Waverly Place backed up for the sixth time in the past three years and flooded my basement with sewerage. After talking to several sewer me~ who refused or dzdn t want to take the job, we pleaded with your inspection department to find us some help to correcD or at least find out what was wrong. A.A.A. Sanitary Sewer Construction of Palatine csme to my home on July 21st and tried to determine what was wrong. Their theory was to dig in the parkway near the curb and if necessary to work up towards the house to find the trouble. On July 22nd, A.A.A. Sanitary Sewer Construction began excavating and when reaching the sewer tile and breaking through at curb side, they discovered the sewer tile to be full of water, indicating trouble between the curb and the sewer main in the street. The excavation was covered over and on Wednesday, July 23rd, the sewer tile was again exposed and tunnelling under the street began. The trouble was soon located and proved to be'a trap. The sewer had a rise of six inches and then a drop to the main itself. In plain Enollsh, a six inch water trap was what had been causing all my trouble, preventing proper level of drainage from my septic tank to the main sewer in the street. These tile are six- inch clay pipe and there was five inches of water standing in the pipe on the septic tank side. These same tile located between the curb and the sewer main in the street were simply butted together and not sealed with cement as they are supposed to be. This definitely was negligence on the part of the inspector when 6he sewer main and stubs were originally laid. On July 2~rd, also, Arnold Septic Sewer Service of Mt. Prospect was called to pump my septic tank out, to insure a clean start, this being the second time my tank has been pumped out in three years' time. Mr. Harry Miller (Street Department), Mr. Simpson (inspector) and a number of my neighbors were witness to the above described expose when the sewer pipes were uncovered. gince when I or~inally purchased this property as improved property, it is naturally expected that all utilities are in proper working order. Since badly laid pipe was ~UET 5~ 1~58 between the curbline and the sewer main in the street, I iBudris understand it is the Village of Mt. Prospect's responsibility. !sewers I am, therefore, asking to'be reimbursed for the cost of having my sewer trouble corrected. My original contractor has paid for three ( at least supposed to) previous rodding out jobs on my septic system, I myself have cancelled checks for three rodding out jobs, a total of $42.00, and feel that since they were due to trouble in initial installation of sewer stubs, that I should be eimbursed for this amount also. I do not wish to imply that the present administration is responsible for the poor installation, but I do feel that they should assume the responsibilities of the previous adminstrations. Several of my neighbors who were present and I shall be a~ the nex~ Village Board meeting, and if any questions need answering, i will do so at that time; also I shaT1 have the bill from A.A. Sanitary Sewer Construction which I shall present to your Board. Looking forward to favorable action on my request to the Village Board, I retain Very truly yours, S/ Vito T. Budris l0 N. Waverly Place These letters were referred to the Street Committee. President Pro Tem Airey read the following letter~ Dated August 5, 19~8 From the Village of Wheeling to Village President and Board of Trustees of Mount Prospect, Illinois Wheeling re Gentlemen: School As you are probably aware, the Arlington Heights High School District is conducting an election in the near future at which they are asking for permission to locate a High School site just south of the Village of Wheeling, along Hintz Road. As you may also know, thins site. lies adjacent to the Soo Line Railway tracks and near to the Palwaukee Airport. It lies directly south and directly east, respectively, of two large tracts recently annexed to the Village of Wheeling as "I" Industrial~'~ls~rlc~- ' ~. The particular property involved, as well as all of the surrounding property not now in the Village of Wheeling has been designated by the Wheeling Plan Commission in its Official Plan as "I" Industrial zoning. It is my opinion and obviously that of the Plan CoMmission that this land, because of its proximity to other industrial properties -- railroad and airport facilities, is most logically suited for industrial development. Although your Village smd ours have no official status in the question of locating a school site, I feel you will be interested as citizens in knowing both the character of the land involved and the official attitude of the Village of Wheeling which now has industrial sites adjacent to it. If it is your opinion, as it is mine, that this proposed school site is in an area which is disadvantageous for school purposes, I hope you will join me in lending support to those who vote against this proposed location. Yours very 'truly, ~/ A.R. McIntyre, Village President Trustee Wilier stated that he didn't believe the Village of Mount Prospect should take action, even though he might personally agree with President McIntyre's views.

"Case ~8-11: This case concerns a petition for a variation Case from the Zoning Ordinance to permit the construction of a 58-11 garage closer to the alley than permitted by ordinance on Brasher property located at 109 North Lancaster Street, .Mtn-Prospect, Illinois; the petitioners being William~R. and Eunmce D~. Brasher. The Board of Appeals voted 6 to 0 to recommend that the petition be granted. Because of the surface configuration of the property in question, it's irregular shape, aud the location of the house and mature trees, the petitioners would suffer a hardship unless they are permitted to construct the garage as petitioned. It is the opinion of the Board of Appeals that the petitioned variation will not impair an adequate supply of l~ght and air to adjacent property, increase the hazard of fire, or diminish or impair the values of property within the surrounding areas". It was moved by Trustee Wilier and seconded by Trustee Broad that the Board of Trustees concur with the Board of Appeals on Case ~8-11 and forward it to the Village Attorney for preparation.

Friedrichs, alley zoning 1939 West 35th Street, Chicago 9, Illinois. The Board of Appeals~voted 6 to 0 that the rezoning petition be de~f~d~ The Board recommends, however, the granting of a variation in Alley Ordinance to permit surfacing of the alley with black top instead of the required concrete. The petitioner proposed to surface with blacktop a parkingarea in the rear of his business premises located on the five lots which front on Central Road. Granting of the variation proposed by the Board would permit the petitioner to avoid the hardships of using 2 different methods of surface constructi~ and allow continuity in the parking and alley surfaces. Also, granting this variation will permit the petitioner to proceed with the same alley surface constru6tion which his testimony at the hearing explained was the purpose for his petition for 'the rezon~ng". In the opinion of the Board of Appeals, the granting of such a variation will not imp&ir an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, increase the hazard of fire, endanger the public safety, or diminish or impair the values of property within the surrounding areas. This case was referred to the Judiciary Committee for further study. "Case ~8-12: This case concerns a petition for a variation Case 58-12 from the Zoning Ordinance to permit the erection of an addition Sellke to a residence located at 100 North School Street, Mt. Prospect, Illinois, closer to the proyerty line than is permitted by ordinance; the petitioners being Howard A. and Virginia E. Sellke. The Board of Appeals voted 6 to 0 to recommend that the petition be granted. Denial of the petition would present the petitioners with the hardship of being unable to achieve reasonable utility of their property as shown in the planned improvement. In the opinion of the Board of Appeals, the granting of the variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, increase the hazard of fire; or diminish or impair the values of property with the surrounding areas."

It was necessary, in order to obtain Village PArk approval, to assure the village by the posting of proper bonds that this work would be done in accordance with village sewer requirements. and water It is our understanding that D'Andrea Construction m~ins Company has completely finished the installation of these mains, in accordance with plans approved ~y the village. It is understandable that this contractor would expect to be paid after the village has made final inspection and given its ap~,oval. We respectfully request that the Village of Mount Prospect cause an inspection to be made at its direction at the earliest opportunity, so that should there be any deviation from the village's requirements we can cause the above named contractor to rectify any errors. We do not believe, and we have been so advised by our attorney, that whether or not all of the homes in the subject subdivision have been completed has any bearing on delaying this inspection and acceptance. S/ Albert Kaufman Mr. Bloch, as av~orney for Surety Builders, stated that Consoer Townsend were not the engineers for this subdivision, that they would not make an inspection as Village Engineers, and that Village requirements'were such that the sewer contractor would not be able to be paid until the entire subdivision was completed. He pointed out that a long period of time may elapse before the subdivision would be completed and that it did not seemfair that the sewer contractor should have to wait for pay- ment when his contract was complete.
