IMHOFF TANK FOR CUMBERLAND TERRACE SEWER: The Clerk then read the following letter: January 6, 1943 Mr. Edgar J. Friedrich City Clerk, City of Des Plaines Des Plaines, Illinois Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of December 26, 1942, with the attached re- solution of the City Council of the City of Des Plaines, dated Dec- ember 21, 1942, will you kindly inform the Mayor and. City Council of the City thf Des Plaines that I have requested the Board of Trustees of the Sanitary District to include in its budget for 1943 a sum suffi- cient to construct the Inhoff Tank and pumping station to serve the sanitary sewer system now under construction in Brsnigar's Cumberland Terrace? This work will probably be done by contract, without WPA assistance. I have also requested the Chief Engineer, Mr. W.H. Trinkaus to arrange that the work may begin at as early a date as possible. Very truly yours, R. W. WOODHULL Mayor Garland ordered, the = said letter placed on file. DUPLEX RE -ZONING: The Clerk then read the following letter: January 11, 1943 City Council Des Plaines, Illinois Dear Sirs: At the meeting that was held by the Des Plaines Homes Owners Assoc. Friday, January 8th, at the Riverview School, the contemplated change in the zoning ordinance as it pertained to the Riverview District was read and discussed. It was noted that it would change the region from an A to a B district. As we understand it, this was an error on the part of the zoning board. At the meeting the City officials present agreed that there should be a change in the zoning ordinance creating a new classification allowing the erection of Duplex houses only. We trust that they will act as they verbally agreed. Respectfully yours, L.C. HEDBERG and also the following letter: Mayor and City Council Des Plaines, Illinois Gentlemen: January 18, 1943 Sometime ago the Zoning Board of Appeals tendered their report re- lative to the change of a cetain area on White and other streets, with a recommendation that this area be rezoned from Area District A to Area District B, having in mind, particularly, the construction of duplex type of residence. The Council concurred in the recommendation and re- quested an ordinance. From various discussions, I have reached the conclusion that this change was desired with a limitation to duplex buildings. To change to class B or Area District B would mean, under the existing Zoning ordinance, that any multiple type of building could be constructed, and in direct conflict with the underlying thought. To accomplish the objective, it will be necessary to amend the original Zoning Ordinancd setting up a new residence Area. To do so, it shall be necessary that such action and contemplated ordinance, with the de- finite areas described, be advertised and a public meeting held. (IETT*R - cont'd) Such notice shall be published at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the mee6ing. The Commission or committee holding such a meeting then readers its report to the Council, together with a proposed ordinance, if there are no objections, or if the commission or committee so recommends. Until there is such a public meeting called, for the express purpose of setting up another classification, with definite districts or area to be incorporated in the change, the Council is without power to amend the existing law and set up any area for such purpose. Your further instructions in this matter will be appreciated. Respectfully submitted, FRANK M. OPEKA 53 The motion was made by Alderman Kehe and seconded by Campagna to refer this IN matter back to the Zoning Board of Appeals for further hearing and re- commendation. The motion was voted upon by acclamation whereupon the Mayor declared the motion carried and the said matter so re -committed. RE -COMMIT ZONING RECOMMENDATION FOR.DIPIEXES ON WEST END OF THACKER STREET: The Clerk then read the following recommendation: RECOMMENDATION - Honorable Mayor and City Council 4etDes Plaines, Illinois d On December 30, 1942, after public notice was duly given, the Des Plaines Zoning Board of Appeals conducted a hearing at the Municipal Building concerning the reclassification of all lots lying between Fourth Avenue and the Chicago Northwestern Rail -road right of way, on the North side of Thacker Street, from single family residential use (Area District A) to Area District B. 1 This action was taken upon petition of Miss L. Bennett, the owner of a substantial portion of such frontage. No objectors to the proposed reclassification appeared and because of this fact and also as the result of a study conducted by the Zoning Board which took into consideration the character of the surrounding property, and also because the reclassification conforms to the Board's gen- eral plan for making available certain areas for duplex dwelling construction, the Board hereby recommends that the necessary council action be taken for the preparation and passage of an ordinance permitting such use in the area in question. T.R. NAPIERALSKI, Sec. of Des Plaines Zoning Board of Appeals. The motion was made by Alderman Pflughaupt and seconded by Loos tozefer this recommendation back to the Zoning Board of Appeals for revision pending amend- ment of the Zoning Ordinance providing a separate "duplex" zoning classi- fication.
