A RESOLUTION DIRECTED TO THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS,
COOK COUNTY BOARD OF APPEALS, AND THE COOK COUNTY CLERK FOR
TRANSMITTAL TO COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS CONCERNING
THE PUBLIC HEARING HELD BY THE COOK COUNTY ZONING BOARD OF
APPEALS (DOCKET #6888) ON SEPTEMBER 20, 1999 REGARDING THE
REZONING OF PROPERTY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DEVON AVENUE
APPROXIMATELY 900 FEET EAST OF RIDGE AVENUE
WHEREAS, the applicant, A. Tabangay, Attorney, and owner,
E. & L. Baer, of the property legally described as follows:
Lot 22 (except the north 210 feet thereof) in William
Lumpp's Devon Avenue Farms, being a Subdivision of
the south � of Section 33, Township 41 North, Range
11, East of the Third Principal Meridian, as per Plat
thereof Recorded as Document 13364273, in Cook
County, Illinois.
has petitioned for a map amendment to rezone from R-4 Single Family
Residence District to I-4 Motor Freight Terminal District; and,
WHEREAS, said case has been docketed as Docket Number 6888 by
the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Elk Grove is contiguous to this
property on the north and west sides.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board of
Trustees of the Village of Elk Grove Village, Counties of Cook and
DuPage, State of Illinois as follows:
Section 1: That the Village of Elk Grove Village does hereby
register objection to the petitioner's request for rezoning of the
Subject Property described above for the following reasons:
a. The I-4 zoning of the subject property amounts
to spot zoning. The land uses to the north are
residential (R-3, Single -Family Residence, Elk
Grove Village), to the west light commercial
(B-2, General Business District, Elk Grove
Village), to the east is an unincorporated Cook
County light business use (small TV repair and
video store). An intensive I-4 zoning
classification is inappropriate between these
residential and light business land uses.
b. The proposed I-4 zoning classification is
incompatible with land uses surrounding the
Subject Property. Such a use directly adjacent
to the Village's single-family residential
zoning district is unsuitable and will result
in a deleterious impact upon the existing
single family residences. Further, the
development of an intensive truck/freight
terminal will have a detrimental impact upon
all surrounding properties.
c. The specific use identified by the applicant is
a permitted use only within the Village's
industrial zoned districts. The Village does
not permit these uses west of Tonne Road as
would be the case with the Subject Property.
d. The Village of Elk Grove Comprehensive Land Use
Map, dated April 24, 1990 and adopted by
Ordinance No. 2100, (attached hereto as Exhibit
"A") identifies the Subject Property as future
R-3, Single -Family Residence District. The
proposed Cook County I-4 use is far more
intense than that planned by the Village of Elk
Grove Village for this area;
e. The parcel of property is outside the corporate
limits of Elk Grove Village and, therefore,
will not receive sanitary sewer or water
service from the Village of Elk Grove. In an
improved urban area, development should be
contingent upon the provision of public
sanitary sewer and water facilities.
f. Elk Grove Village will provide initial
emergency Fire and Paramedic services in this
area. The increased intensity of personnel and
truck traffic that will be created by the
proposed rezoning will unfairly place
additional emergency service burdens upon the
Village.
Section 2: That this Resolution shall be in full force and
effect from and after its passage and approval according to law.

Section 3: That the Village Clerk's Office is hereby
directed to submit the foregoing Resolution to all governmental
bodies that have jurisdiction and/or interest in the development of
the premises as set forth above and set forth in the caption
thereto.
