DEVON AVENUE CORRIDOR
Docket 88-5 Text Amendment to create a B-4 Zoning district. (Devon
Avenue Corridor)
Docket 88-6 Rezoning of four properties along Devon Avenue.
Docket 88-7 Amendment to the Official Map and the Comprehensive Plan.
The Village Attorney, George Knickerbocker, and the Planner contracted
by the Village for this project, Rolf Campbell, presented the petitions
on behalf of the Village President and Board of Trustees. The Village's
concern about the property arose due to high traffic volume on Devon
Avenue, multiple curb cuts and adjacent residential property (to the north) .
Trustee Petri stressed that the changes would make this the highest
and best use of the land, maximize profit for the sale of the property,
create the highest tax return, require screening from residential
properties, and minimize curb cuts. He also stated the Village will be
installing watermain through the property this year.
Rolf Campbell explained the purpose of a Comprehensive Plan, an
official map and a zoning ordinance. He presented two conceptual plans, I
one with a frontage road shown and one with limited curb cuts. The B-4

building height limit of two stories or 35 feet, a minimum lot width
of 200 feet, a front yard of 50 feet, and a side yard of 75 feet if

residential property. The properties already annexed to the Village
which would be rezoned would be the VFW Hall, the Putt-Putt mini-
golf course, the Union Hall and the Dohrer-Rizzi property.
Plan Commission members inquired about specific permitted or
prohibited uses, a strip zoning concern, flooding, the location and
width of the possible frontage road, timing of the Village extension
of watermain, and parking.
It was explained by Rolf Campbell that as currently written, a
six foot high undulating berm would be required as part of screening.
