The Clerk read the following recommendation: October 4, 1948 Des Plaines, Illinois Hon. Mayor & City Council City of Des Plaines Des Plaines, Illinois Sirs: Pursuant to law, your Zoning Board of Appeals, sitting as a commission, held a public meeting at the hour of 8 o'clock, daylight saving time, on the 14th, day of September, A.D. 1946, in the Council Chambers, Municipal Bldg. Des Plaines, Illinois. The property involved is as follows: All of lot one, that part of Lotsz2 and 3, lying northerly of a line drawn at right angles to the westerly line of said Lot 3, and passing the angle. corner in the easterly line of said Lot 3 to the angle corner in the easterly line of said Lot 2, the east one hundred and thirty-seven feet of Lot 5, and all the Lots 6 and 7, all in the Phillippine Ahbe's Subdivision of part of sections 16 and 21, Township forty-one North, Range 12, East of the Third Principal Meridian, in Cook County, Illinois. The purpose of this meeting was to hear a petition to have the above described property rezoned from Class C commercial area to Area District B, multiple - family residence. At the particular meeting the petitioners were represented by legal council, and the objectors, (of which there were two) who present, one being • an owner, and the other a realestate representative of the parcel of property involved. Your Zoning Board has given careful consideration to all evidence submitted, at the hearing, We are outlining herewith the facts that were brought forth at our Zoging meeting. 1 1 ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION LETTER, CONT'D. 1. While this property has been zoned commercial for a considerable number of years, there has been no activity from a commercial standpoint, and all improvements in this neighborhood have been in the form of residential buildings. 011i's Tavern is the only commercial establishment in this area, and there have been no improvement in this property in the past 15 years. 3. Lot No. 1, which is the corner lot, has two trunk line highways, — one on each side of the property, and under traffic donditions on both of these highways, commercial establishments in this area would produce a traffic hazard. 4. Corner Lot known as the Tallent's property, has no sidewalk on the Rand Road side, and in order to accommodate commercial property approximately 6 ft. of this side of the lot would have to"be used for sidewalk purposed, as otherwise it would create quite a hazard on such a highway as Rand Road. Further, business property, in accordance with our latest ordinances; would have to be set back 5 feet from the lot line, and not more than 90% of the lot occupied for commercial use. This would materially reduce the size of the corner lot. 5. The Forest Preserve, who owns considerable property in this neighborhood, are very much interested in keeping this property as a residential section. Drawing our conclusion from this evidence, it is the recommendation of this body that the petition be granted, and that the property involved be reclassi— fied from Commercial Area C to residential districtArea B. (Signed) Respectfully submitted, ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS City of Des Plaines, A. H. James, of Secretary The motion was made by Alderman Johnson awl seconded by Hansen to concur in the recommendation.
