REPORT OF ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS: The Clerk then read the fol-
lowing letter:
July 21, 1939
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Des Plaines,
Des Plaines, Illinois
Honorable Sirs:
The Zoning Board of the City of Des Plaines, Illinois,
acting upon the request of your Honorable Body, held a public hearing
on July 14, 1939, in the Municipal Building on the Petition of Mr.
B.W. Bennett of 674 Laurel Avenue.
Mr. Bennett asked that steps be taken to protect the
vicinity of his home against remodeling of single family dwellings into
two flat buildings.
The Zoning Board interpreted the present Ordinance as
being adequate to protect Mr. Bennett's property, inasmuch as the Or-
dinance states definitely that the area known as Des Plaines Manor
Tract j1 is excepted from the provisions of the Ordinance permitting
the erection of more than single family dwellings in residential
districts.
A copy of my letter of even date to City Attorney
Kenneth G. Meyer is more fully explanatory. However, in view of the
Merrill versus Village of Wheaton case, with which your Honorable
Body is familiar it appears that a more stringent definition of a
single family must be made in order that Zoning Ordinances such as
ours may be legally supported.
169
170
I have therefore, asked Attorney Meyer to prepare
a draft of a Zoning Ordinance worded in such a manner that our intent
to restrict the usage of certain localities in the Lity to single
family occupancy may be supported.
Pending reply from Attorney Meyer, this phase of the
Zoning Board's report is complete.
The Zoning Board also heard the Petition of the Mt.
Prospect Realty Trust in relation to the zoning of Lots 1 to 5 in
Block 11 and Lots 3 to 6 in Block 1 in Branigar's Cumberland Terrace.
Mr. Richard Branigar, his attorney, and a small group of interested
citizens were present. After exhaustive investigations in which
numerous questions were answered by Mr. Branigar and others, the
Board voted unanimously to permit the zoning of Lots 1 to 5 in Block
11 for commercial purposes. Recommendation that this be done by
ordinance is hereby made.
Petition for re -zoning Lots 3 to 6 in Block 1 was
denied by unanimous vote by the Board. The re -action of the Board
in this matter is supported by the fact that at the present time
there are sixty new dwellings in the subdivision and it was con-
sidered that the families residing there have need for a small
commercial area.
In spite of the fact that a considerable increase
in the population of this area is anticipated in the near future,
the Board felt that the zoning of five lots is adequate for some-
time to come.
Mayor Ahbe
Attorney for further
lowing:
Respectfully submitted,
Signed: T.R. NAPIERALSKI, Secretary
L'es Plaines Zoning Board of
Appeals.
