Village President Shopping
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois Center
Dear Mr. Lams:
As you know, Carson Pirie Scott & Company is in the process
of developing a Shopping center covering approximately one hundred acres
to be located east of Elmhurst Road, South of Euclid and north of
Foundry Road. At the time that Carson Pirie Scott & Company made its
presentation of the details regarding the proposed shopping center to
the Board of Trustees and the Zoning Board, Carson expressed its de~ire
to have the Center include a store for the sale of liquor at retail and
also a restaurant for the sale of food and alcoholic beverages.
As it is our understanding that the number of Class "A" liquor
licenses which may be issued in the Village are limited, C arson Pirie
Scott & Company respectfully requests that Chapter lB of the Municipal
Code of Mount Prospect, as amended, be further amended to permit the
issuance ofttwo additional Class "A" liquor licenses, one to be issued
to the operator of the proposed restaurant and the other to the operator
of the proposed liquor store. As soon as the lease terms are agreed to
by the owners of the shopping center and the respective operators of the
restaurant and liquor store, formal application will be made to the
President for the issuance of such licenses.
Very truly yours,
CARSON, PIRIE SCOTT & COMPANY
S/ Harold R. Spurway

for consumption on the premises and one Class C for package liquor store.
