MCLENNAN REZONING I-1 and B-3 to B-3 - 4.90 acres and I-1 and B-3 to I-1, 7.58 acres. (located east of Elmhurst Road between Touhy Avenue and Higgins Road) Chuck Byrum stated that McLennan Commercial and industrial Company was requesting rezoning of the property which lies approximately 276 feet east of Elmhurst Road between Touhy Avenue and Higgins Road. Byrum said that the requested rezoning would actually re-align the existing zoning to line up the commercial and industrial zoning to match the adjacent properties. Currently, the property is only one lot of which 6.46 acres are zoned I-1 and the remaining 6.04 acres are zoned B-3. The lots will be subdivided into four lots, two zoned B-3 and two zoned I-1. The current uses of the properties surrounding the McLennan property are as follows: On the north side is the Standard Oil tank farm and the mobile home trailer park zoned I-4 Special use in Cook County; Rogers industrial Park is located to the south; the Natural Gas Pipeline, a vacant lot and a chemical company are on the east side; and a restaurant zoned C-4 in Cook County is on the west side. Byrum said that the subject property was annexed to the Village in 1974 but has remained vacant for the past 12 years. He said that when the property was first annexed, Touhy Avenue was not a six-lane highway, and that the market in the area has changed in the past 12 years. -2- James Mc Lennan stated that the I-1 zoned properties would be good for companies that want 2 to 4 acres with good visibility and have a product to warehouse. The business-zoned properties would serve companies that want a showroom or display with parts, services or delivery, with a focus on the industrial park. Byrum said that the uses of the property will not be drawing the general public in off the street. McLennan added that the shift will be to longer, deeper lots with the main emphasis placed on Higgins Road. David Paliganoff asked if McLennan would lease or sell off the properties and if any traffic problems were anticipated. McLennan responded that the lots would be sold off for development. McLennan also said that no significant traffic increases should occur because the ingress and egress were on Higgins Road rather than on Touhy Avenue. Paliganoff inquired about the problems with marketing the property for the past 12 years. McLennan responded that the major problem was the attitude of the previous owner who would not subdivide the lot and sell in smaller pieces. The Public Hearing was closed at 8:49 p.m. Following further discussion, George Mullen motioned to recommend approval of rezoning from I-1 and B-3 to B-3 for proposed lots 1 and 2, and rezoning from I-1 and B-3 to I-1 for proposed lots 3 and 4. David Paliganoff seconded the motion. The vote for approval was unanimous. RJT PARTNERS- -• Rezoning from M-1 to- B-3 (Northeast corner of Devon Avenue and Tonne Road) Leah Cummins emphasized that when a sidewalk waiver is granted to a developer it should only be a temporary waiver with a definite termination point. Following further discussion, George Mullen motioned to recommend approval of rezoning from M-1 to B-3. Leah Cummins seconded the motion. The vote for approval was unanimous. HAMILTON LAKES VILLAGE - Plat of Subdivision Following brief review and discussion, Leah Cummins made a motion to approve the plat of subdivision subject to staff review.
