DIVISION OF HIGHWAY RE MANNHEIM ROAD LIGHTS: The Clerk read the 8b1 -
lowing letter:.
April 2, 1947
Mr. Otto W. J. Henrich, City Clerk
City Hall, Des Plaines, Illinois
Dear Mr. Henrich:
A decision regarding the lighting of the reverse curves on U. S.
Route 45 south of Oakton Street in Des Plaines has been reached, following our
analysis of all factors involved.
We believe there is justification for the installation of a modern
lighting system throughout the length of the section indicated on the plan which
you sent to Mr. Apple with your letter of December 7, 1946. The Department is
willing to participate in the financing of the system to the extent of the $ost
of the three units which are shown as being outside the corporation boundary on
Lee Str4et. It would be the obligation of the City to advertise for bids, award
the contract, and supervise the installation. In assuming this share of the
cost, we would claim no ownership interest in the equipment, and it would be-
come the responsibility of the City of Des Plaines to maintain and operate the
system.
After the Council has considered this proposal, please communicate
your wishes to. Mr. Apple, to whom a copy of this letter is being sent. I am
sure Mr. Apple will be glad to consult with you on the details of the project,
should you, decide to go ahead with it.
Very truly, yours,

The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the
motion carried.

.sured fyou that the building, for which I hold permits, will be started as
soon as the weather permits and the excavations can be cleared for footings.

April 7, 1947
galling your attention to a Nuisance Violation at 1228 Harding
Avenue in Industrial Building occupied by Recreation Shops.
The exhaust from spray booth discharge directly out of side of
wall, 4 feet above grade, fumes penetrating the surrounding area, aometimes
unbearable to occupants adjacent.
Made inspection March 14th accompanied by Mrs. Willer of Health
Department and Mr. Rieck of Building Department.
Mr. Larson of above company agreed to have stack attached to
opening so that exhaust would disperse in air above roof of building. This was
to be done within 7 days. This was not complied with, so I called Mr. Clark who
said that he had some difficulty in getting sheet metal men to do this work,
but would have same taken care of at once. To date nothing has been done.
What further action would the Council suggest for the Building In-
spector to follow now?

The motion was made by Alderman Napieralski and seconbd by Harm that the Building
Inspector be instfucted to enforce the City Ordinance to order work be stopped
at once or sign compl4int if the violation were continued. The motion was voted
upon by acclamation w}}ereupon the Mayor decla4ed the motion carried.
ALDERMAN E reported that he had called a meeting with the con-
tractors installing o'1 burners regarding the fees for installation. The con-
tractors were unable 10 attend and were to inform the alderman when they could
meet with his committee but so far had not heard from them.
BLDG. INSPECTOR'S REQUEST TO AMEND ORDINANCE: The Clerk read:
April 7, 1947
Mayor and (ty Council
Gentlemen: Amendment to Revised Ordinances of the City of Des
Plaines, 1928, Chapter Nine, Section 278
Cesspool, Oil Etc., excluded.
No cesspool shall be constructed or located for use, or kept or
operated, and no explosi3e substance or inflamable oil or substance shall be
stored or kept for an purpose, under any sidewalk in this city, and no ex-
cavations shall be ve tilated into the streets, unless the aperture or•venti-
lating hole or openin shall be securely. covered as herein provided.
Suggest t e enforcement of ordinance Chapter Nine Article 2, Use
of Subsidewalk space Section 263 to 281 be revised and enforced.
Also that existing undersidewalk spaces be checked and measured for
cubic content and tha the owners be notified regarding Bond, Fee, etc., to be
in full force and eff ct after date set by Council (suggest Jan..1, 1948). This
would give owners ample tine to make the necessary arrangements for Bond Etc.
Recommend tha t undersidewalk space be limited to usage, which would
.permit the oil storag for fuel oil in connection with building served by such
oil storage. The requirements for such as oil storage to be that tanks be en-
cased as per same requirements set forth by Fire Underwriters for inside storage
tanks.
Also sugg st thatkhe measuring of undersidewalk spaces be made as
soon as possible, and that the owners of same be notified of the requirements to
be effective (?).

color, in the Home and Hospital for unwed mothers, medical and dental clinics,
veterans' welfare and many other service.
We are having our first get tog,er, to show our taggers what their
efforts will accomplish, on April 8th, and April bOth, so I would.g reatly ap-
preciate hearing from you as promptly as possible in order to include your tag-
gers.' Thank you.

City Council of the City of Des Plaines,I11.
Gentlemen:

the Chicago
The Clerk red the. following:
March 29,1947.
LPJ-200
Application is hereby made for a change in the zoning classification
loated in the City of Des Plaines, Cook County, Illinois, owned by
and NorthVbstern Railway Company, and described as follow,:
The E4 of the E of the SW fractional of Section 18,
Township 141 N, Range 12 E, except the N400' thereof, and
a part of the Wi of the SEk of said Section 18, described
by beginning at a point on the W line of said W of the
SE* of Section 18, which is 400' S of the NW corner thereof;
thence running E on a line parallel with and distant 400'
southerly, at a right angle from the N line of said Wig of
the SE'* of Section 18, a distance of about 843 feet to the
present corporate limits of the City of Des Plaines; thence
running south along the line of said corporate limits to the
southeasterly right-of-way line of the main line- right-of-way
of the C&NW Railway Company's Des Plaines Valley Line; thence
running along said southeasterly right-of-way line in a
southerly and westerly direction to the center line of Thacker
Avenue; thence running west along the center line of Thacker Ave.
to the west line of said Wi of the SEk of Section 18;
thence running N along the W line of said W- of the SE* of
Section 18 to the place of beginning.
This tract of land, together with additional land to the north,
making a total area of 62 acres, was originally classified as "Resident
District, Area District A". In 1937, upon application of the Chicago and
Northwestern RailwaylICompany, the 62 acre tract was reclassified to "In-
dustrial District Area District C". The change was made because in the
lanaguage of the ordinance"....this Council, after considering the recom-
mendation of the sail Zoning Board of Appeals, finds that said land is borderd
on the southeast by the right-of-way of a railroad, and that the right-of-way
of another railroad proceeds northerly and southerly through said land, and
that said railroads are used only for freight trains, and finds that the landto
the northeast of said property is occupied by numerous switch tracks used as
sidings for the storage of coaches and engines from the main right-of-way of
the Chicago andNorth Western Railway Company, and this Council believing that
the highest and best use for said land is for industrial purposes...."
In 1942 this 62 acre tract was again reclassified from 'Industrial
District, Area District C" back to "Residence District, Area District A" upon
petition, we understand, of dwelling house owners to the north. The Chicago
and Northwestern Rai]}way CoOpany, the sole owner of this large tract of land,
was not advised of the proposed change of zoning,except by notice in a local
newspaper. Such notice to a non-resident, is of course, inade nate, and the
Railway Company was not represented at the hearing, and had no, knowledge of
the changed zoning until 1946. Proceedings had in 1942 would have some bearing
on the present pets It3,on of the Railway Company, and about February X2lst, 1947,
the Railway Company Made application to the Secretary of the Zoning Board of
Des Plaines to see Vie record of the 1942 hearing, but this record has not
been -made available to us to date.
' In 1942 he area classified as "Residence" had a railroad run-
ning along one side,another railroad line running through the middle of the
premises, and was oc upied by two coal yards and a bulk oil station. The same
conditions prevail today. The premises are largely unsuitable for residence
use, and this application is for a change in the zoning to "Industrial Distrlt
A, Light Manufacturi!ig, Area District Q'. It is expected that the premises will
be used principally for storage and distribution of lumber, fuel, building
materials, and other heavy commodities.

(26ING Piith 6ONi'6.
In order to protect thkkesidence development to thehorth, the
northerly 400 feet of the 62 acre tract has been eliminated in this application.
A map is attached hereto showing in solid yellow. color the premises
covered by this application, and there is also enclosed a voucher in the amount
of $35.00 in favor of the City of Des Plaines to cover the costs of printing,

Iwill appreciate it if you will arrange for a hearing and advise me
when the hearing is to take place, in order that we may be represented.
