According to my interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance of Des Plaines the premises in question are now unrestricted and in the interest of the city of Des Plaines as well as our own we requesting that the said premises be reclassified as industrial. 1 We draw to your attention the fact that the Squire Dingee Company onws approximately thirty two hundredths (.32) of an acre immediately north of our property and the Squire Dingee Company has not joined in the petition for rezoning, therefore, the petition we are presenting does not include the thirty two hundredths of an acre of land owned by them. We inclose a durvey to more clearly illustrate the land in question. We are proud of the appearance of this building since we have reconstructed it and we inclose a "before and after" picture of the property from which you will see how the appearnace has been improved since we took over the land. We inclose our check to the order of the City of Des Plaines in the amount of ten dollars which we understand is the required fee to defray the costs of publishing the notice of the public hearing to be held by the Zoning Board of Appeals. 1 COMMITTEE REPORTS CONT'D Leiter Con'd If in the event the Zoning Board of Appeals deemd it advisable to include the thirty two hundredths of an acre owned by Squire Dingee Compnay in the re- zoning proceeds I will appreciate the copy of the legal notice being mailed to Aquire Dingee Company, 1918 North Elston Avenue, Chicago, Illinois and also a copy to their attorney, Andrew W.
