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.

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. David Paliganoff seconded the motion. The vote for
approval was unanimous.
