Since the licensing program is to the advantage of the contractor and not the Village, it was agreed by Board members that this matter be dropped from the agenda. Trustee Mullen reported that it is the recommendation of the Judiciary, Planning and Zoning Committee that the sign variation petitions of Continental Can Company. Inc. be denied. The variation is one relating to size in the case of both signs in question - one facing Estes Avenue and one facing Touhy Avenue approximately 132 feet from the northern corner of the existing building.

Whereupon the Chairman declared the motion carried. Trustee Mullen reported that the Judiciary Committee, Village Manager Majoros, Village Attorney Hofert and representatives of the petitioner met to discuss the petition presented at the December 13, 1966 meeting relating to property near the former Higgins School. The proposal as presented at that time vaguely resembled a commercial planned unit development and contained plans for a building that might reach 150 feet in height. Trustee Mullen said that as a result of the meeting, the petitioner is requesting pre-annexation zoning to M-2 of that portion of the property in question which does not now lie within the Village limits; he will request Special Use zoning for a small area of that property for the purposes of a medical clinic and other offices, and when a commercial planned unit development section can be added to the zoning ordinance that he will petition for whatever change in zoning will be required at that time. Mr. Majoros stated that the Plan Commission hearing on the above amended petition has been changed from January 5 to January 19, 1967. Zoning Board Chairman Keith re-stated his previous objection as to the fence built around the Public Library property at Kennedy Boulevard and Brentwood Avenue. He said that it is constructed to the property line and is in violation of the terms of the zoning ordinance. Mr. Keith asked the Manager what action has been taken on this matter. Mr. Majoros said that when the fence posts were first noticed, the President of the Library Board, Mr. Robert Fleming indicated that he would request a variation. When no such petition was submitted, the Building Inspector sent a notice to Mr. Fleming that the violation must be corrected or a variation sought within a period of 10 days. Mr. Majorca said that at the end of this 10 day period if no action has been taken, the matter will be turned over to the Village Attorney as is the procedure in such cases of zoning violations. Chairman Zettek asked that immediately following the expiration of the 10 day period of time mentioned above, that the Village Manager and Village Attorney meet with Mr. Fleming and resolve this situation as soon as possible.
