Dunlap Benjamin Electric letter: In connection with the dredging of Weller Creek and the problem presented by the insufficient outlets under the tracks of the Soo Line at,the eastern edge of our property, Mr. Raleigh Klipstein informs me that Mr. Johnson of the Soo Line has advised him that they will put in an additional 6 -foot diameterflume over one of the existing flumes to act as a further spillway when the creek is at flood. Reasonable engineering opinion seems to be that this will be sufficient to take off any volume of water that has ever previously come down the creek and that there will be spillway capacity to spare. Mr. Johnson stated that the Soo Line is willing to start this work immediately; has estimated that its cost will be $4,000.and has offered to pay, half of this amount. Mr. Klipstein has given me to understand that the City of Des Plaines will be willing to underwrite half of the balance, or $1,000, if Benjamin Electric will guarantee the remaining $1,000. Thi.a we are willing to do.. I hear the City Council is meeting Monday December 16, We hope you can notify Mr. Klipstein at that time of your favorable auction on this matter as we would like to ask Mr. Johnson to proceed with the work as soon as possible.

Alderman Wexler report the following: Your Committee on Judiciary, had referred to it the law suit filed by McKay Nealis Builders, Inc. in the Circuit Court of Cook County against the Zoning Board of Appeals and the City of Des Plaines. The basis of this law suit arose out of an original application filed before the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variation where three (3) residences were sought to be constructed on five (5) 25 foot loks.on Rose Avenue just west of Second Avenue. The subdivision in which these lots were located was recorded in 1895 and the petitioner sought to construct three (3) residences on the lots, ;two of which would have a frontage of 42 feet and one a frontage of 41 feet., The Zoning Board of Appeals refused to grant the variation under its authority pursuant to the intensity of lot use ordinance. Whereupon, the McKay Nealis Builders then files their suit against the City of Des Plaines in the Circuit Court of Appeals asking that the ordinance be held unconstitutional and asking that the Zoning Board be reversed. The City of Des Plaines must file its answer or otherwise plead by December 22, 1957. Your Committee on Judiciary has considered all the factors in this case pertinent to the issue and has reviewed the purpose and intent of the intensity of lot use ordinance and recommends as follows: 1. That one of the qualifications of the ordinance was for a liberal construction of the variation so as not to impose any undue hardship on previously subdivided lots within the city. 2. The proposed variation is slight in that it appears to be only a three foot variation from the forty-five foot lot which could have been permitted. 3. That the proposed construction of three houses would not appear to downgrade the neighborhood and there was no testimony.at.the Zoning Board hearing to that effect. 4. The Committee is reluctant to recommend to the City that it expend large sums of money for legal services to test the validity of its ordinance on this particular set of facts. 5. The Committee has duly considered the action of the Zoning Board and appreciates its decision on the matter but feels that it has erred in it's judgment and that the best purposes of the City would be served by not contesting the case in the Circuit Court and therefore recommends to the Mayor and City Council that the City Attorney be instructed to take whatever action is necessary effect a dismissll of the liw suit and have the permit issue. /s/ S.
