WHEREAS, the property is contiguous to residential dwelling units
to the north and south and to office/warehouse space in Elk Grove
Village to the west;
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 application for Special Use
Permit for the following reasons:
a. The operation of a reprocessable construction/demolition
facility will be detrimental to the public welfare and
injurious to the other property or improvements in the area
surrounding the property by causing the following: excessive
construction noise which will travel beyond the property
lines; excessive diesel fuel odors from idling semi -trucks;
excessive traffic delays by stacking trucks onto Old Higgins
Road; excessive dust resulting from the operation of the
facility; and excessive mud on densely travelled State
roadways.
b. The facility will not be served by a municipal water,
sanitary, or storm sewer system. In an improved urban area,
with neighboring residential uses, the development should
have public sewer and water systems;
C. The use requested by the application would not be
permitted in the zoning classification of the Village of Elk
Grove Village which borders the property;
d. That an updated opinion be obtained from the North Cook
County Soil and Water Conservation District regarding the
proposed use on the site as required by law as the last
opinion is stale having been rendered in 1986;
e. That an opinion be obtained from the State of Illinois
Department of Conservation as to the nature of any threatened
or endangered species on the property; and
f. Initial Fire and Paramedic response is provided by the
City of Chicago,which Fire Station is considerable distance
from the property in the event of an emergency, resulting in
an increased danger for personnel on the site.
Section 2: That this Resolution 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 forgoing Resolution to Joseph J. Spingola, Chairman,
Zoning Board of Appeals, and to the Clerk of the Zoning Board of
Appeals of the City of Chicago.
