Gentlemen:
We transmit herewith for your consideration a recommendation adopted
by the Zoning Board of Appeals of Elk Grove Village on the question of
amending Sections 5 (a) (Z) of Articles V, VI and VIA which provide
"where lots have a double frontage, the required front yard shall be
provided on both streets ".
This request for an amendment of said sections arises out of the fact
that a number of homes have been built in the Village which do not meet
the requirements above cited and that it would be desirable that said
Sections insofar as they pertain to corner lots have a front yard of 15 feet
along the side or length of such corner lot.
Your Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing as provided by laky
and finds:
Case 57-4,
(1) That due notice was given as provided by law;
(2) That the side yard of corner lots should be less
than that required for the front of the lot;
(3) The testimony presented is convincing of the public
need and general desirability of making such a change.
Your Zoning Board of Appeals therefore recommends that the amendment
as above stated be corrected and that the ordinance which is transmitted
herewith be passed by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village.
Respectfully submitted
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
OF THE VILLAGE OF ELK GROVE
VILLAGE, ILLINOIS
