A RESOLUTION PROTESTING THE REZONING OF PROPERTY
IN ELK GROVE TOWNSHIP FROM R-4 to B-4.
WHEREAS, the petitioner in the above case seeks the
rezoning of 9 1/2 acres on the west side of Elmhurst Road,
approximately 541 feet North of Dempster Street, in Elk Grove
Township, legally described as follows:
That part of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast
Quarter of Section 14, Township 41 North, Range 110
East of the Third Principal Meridian.
from R-4 to B-4 for the ostensible purpose of developing said
property with a theater, restaurant and office building (with-
out a cocktail lounge because of the proximity of the school,
although one was first proposed); and
WHEREAS, the Village of Elk Grove Village is within one and
one-half miles of the property in question and is legally entitled
to file objections herein:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the President and Board
of Trustees of the Village of Elk Grove Village, Counties of Cook
and DuPage, Illinois:
Section 1. That the Village of Elk Grove Village does
hereby object to the rezoning of said property as petitioned, for
the following reasons:
A - The development of the property in question„ as proposed,
would have a harmful affect on the use and occupancy of the
Dempster Junior High School immediately to the west of the property.
B - It would constitute spot zoning since the property
immediately to the south, west and north is zoned single family
residence either in the County of Cook or the Village of Mount
Prospect.
C - The rezoning of the property would constitute strip
zoning and introduce traffic problems along and upon Elmhurst
Road by introducing congestion of automobiles at such times as
theater traffic left and entered the property in question.
D - There is an abundance of commercially zoned property
in the area available for the purpose proposed which has not been
heretofore used.
E - The evidence submitted as to the Developerts proceeding
with the project was sketchy and uncertain.
F - The highest and best use of the property is and should
remain as zoned, namely, single family residence.
G - The rezoning of the property in question would
constitute both spot and strip zoning.
Section 2. This resolution shall be in full force and
effect from and after its passage and approval according to
law.
