NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor 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 the Special Use for Unique Use at the subject property described
above for the following reasons:
a. The applicant failed to provide clear and convincing evidence that the
proposed unique use will conform with each special use standard as specified
in Article B of the Cook County Zoning Ordinance;
b. The applicant failed to prove the existence of a special and extraordinary need
for the unique use;
c. The applicant failed to identify unique characteristics of the subject property,
proposed use and surrounding neighborhood;
d. The subject property is located within the I-1 Restricted Industrial District.
The proposed use is neither a permitted use, nor a permitted special use in that
district;
e. The applicant failed to prove that the unique use will be an affirmative benefit
to the surrounding properties and neighborhood from a land use and economic
standpoint;
f. That the proposed use will have a deleterious effect on the surrounding
properties and neighborhood from a land use and economic standpoint;
g. Although the applicant has shown that dust mitigation measures are provided
at the crusher, no dust mitigation measures are proposed for the dumping and
loading procedures which will produce significant amounts of particulate
matter that may become windborne resulting in a deleterious effect on
surrounding properties;
h. Evidence provided on behalf of the petitioner regarding noise and dust
production was addressed only in conjunction with the crusher. No evidence
or data was provided to indicate that noise and dust generated by heavy
equipment and truck traffic, dumping and loading activities, will comply with
applicable performance standards;
i. There is monumental concern over the inability to provide any type of fire
protection or suppression on the site due to the fact that the site is not
connected to a public water system;
I
j. The drive apron accessing the property is inadequate for the proposed use;
k. Access to the property from Oakton Street is inadequate for the proposed use
and will result in stacking of trucks on Oakton Street impeding traffic;
1. That an opinion be obtained from the State of Illinois Department of Natural
Resources as to the nature of any threatened or endangered species on the
property.
I
Section 2: That this Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage
