Being situated in Elgin Township, Kane County, Illinois and containing 20.86 Acres more or less, situated between Randall Road and McLean Boulevard. Present were: Christian P. Bazos, Winston Bennorth, Paul R. Bolger, Robert F. Oehler, E. W. Scholer, Fred J. Steffen and Paul Williams ; Zoning Enforcement Officer Fred J. Ackmann and City Manager Robert L. Brunton. The Chairman. Mr. Bennorth opened the hearing at 8: 55 PM. Attorney Edward Puklin, 164 Division Street, Elgin appeared to represent the Petitioners and made the following statement: This property is part of the William J. Feldman farm on Highland Avenue Road. It adjoins the property of the First Baptist Church which is on the South side of High- land Avenue Road. Mr. Feldman who owns 140 acres filed a petition for annexation of 100 acres on the south side of Highland Avenue, subject to the rezoning of that 100 acres so that the East 20 acres could be used for multiple-family dwellings, and the remaining $0 acres for single family residences. I:.G. have an option to purchase the 100 acres subject to rezoning, and are prepared to go ahead with the project. This matter was presented to the Plan Commission and was tentatively approved by the Plan Commission, but they could not take final action Pet. No. 21-65 Pg. 2 as the property is not in the City limits. A Petition is pending with the Corporation Counsel for annexation of 100 acres. This property is on the South side of Highland Avenue and would be North of the new St. Joseph Hospital. At this time Attorney Puklin introduced Mr• Roger Gladson, 9320 West Lisbon Avenue , Milwaukee, as the President of M.G.M. Builders and stated Mr. Gladson could explain the project more in detail. Mr. Gladson submitted a large colored picture showing the type of building his company constructs. He stated as follows: This is a 3-family colonial dwelling and each unit would be different. This is the type we have built in Milwaukee and Madison. The lots are $0 feet wide and there will be a lot of grass around the building, more than is required by the zoning. These buildings are 100% maintenance free. There would be 64 lots. I know we can get 64 lots even though Highland Avenue will have to be widened. We will have sufficient off-street parking. The buildings will be brick veneer and aluminum. There is nothing to paint on these buildings. The lots will be 160, or 165 long. We built 292 buildings in Madison. These buildings are approved by Wisconsin Banking Commission and are appraised at $48,500.00. A Board member inquired as to how they could change the appearance so there would be no two alike. Mr. Gladson stated you could have a gable roof; two windows in front instead of three; the front entrance can be cnanged and the brick could be of different colors. There will probably be fifteen different styles. He also stated that these buildings are sold in Milwaukee at from $45 ,000 to $50,000. Mr. Bennorth inquired if any of the Board had other questions, and no one responded. As there were no other witnesses desiring to testify and no objectors, the hearing was closed at 9:20 PM. Respectfullyiz s itted, s'N7t/ 4,141--24-0641/Cie-,, Secretary ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING - JULY 14, 1965 The Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of Elgin, Illinois held its regular meeting July 14, 1965 in the Court Room, City Hall, Elgin, Illinois. In attendance were: Christian P. Bazos, Winston Bennorth, Paul R. Bolger, Robert F. Oehler, E. W. Scholer, Fred J. Steffen and Paul Williams; Zoning Enforcement Officer Fred J. Ackmann and City Manager Robert L. Brunton. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 PM by the Chairman, Mr Bennorth. Mr. Scholer made a motion, seconded by Mr. Williams, that the Minutes of the Regular meeting of June 9, 1965 be approved. Motion was unanimously carried. First Petition considered was No. 19-65 for construction of- a garage at 218 Washburn Street, Elgin by Russell Watts, 256 Elm St. , Elgin. All testimony and exhibits was considered. Mr. Steffen made a motion that the Petition be denied. Motion was seconded by Mr. Bolger. Vote was as follows: - Yeas - Bolger, Scholer, Steffen and Williams. Nays - Bazos, Bennorth and Oehler. Motion carried. Second Petition considered was No. 21-65 by M.G.M. Builders, Inc. , 9320 West Lisbon Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. , to rezone certain property which, if annexed, would be Single Family residences, and since the de- sired use is Multi-Family Dwellings, R-4 zoning is requested; property is located at approximately No. 1999 West Highland Avenue, Elgin. A full discussion of all aspects of the request was had. Mr. Steffen made a motion that the Zoning Board respectfully recommend to the City Council that the requested change in zoning be granted. Mr. Bazos seconded the motion. The following vote was recorded: Yeas - Bazos, Bennorth, Bolger, Oehler, Steffen and Williams. Mr. Scholer abstained. It is the judgment of the Board members that with the development of the proposed large hospital unit in the immediate area, the need for multiple housing is self-evident. Next taken up was Petition No. 24-65 by Irving Kagel, 871 West Chicago St. , Elgin for side yard-setback to allow $ foot addition to rear of garage at 871 West Chicago Street. Testimony and sketch was discussed, after which Mr. Bolger moved to grant the request. This was seconded by Mr. Steffen. Motion was unanimously approved. Considered last was the large amount of testimony and the many exhibits submitted in connection with Petition No. 22-65 by Andresen Brothers, Elgin, requesting rezoning from B-1 to B-3 for various lots in the Wing Park Shopping Manor Addition. All of the testimony by the various witnesses and the exhibits was carefully gone over and fully discussed, after which Mr. Oehler made a motion that the Board respectfully recommend to the City Council Regular Meeting 7/14/65 Pg. 2 that the Petition be granted. Motion was seconded by Mr. Steffen. Vote was as follows: Yeas - Oehler and Steffen. Nays - Bazos, Bennorth, Bolger, Scholer and Williams. Petition denied. The Board respectfully recommends to the City Council that the request for change in zoning be denied. It is the consensus of a majority of the Board members that the rezoning to B-3 from B-1 Commercial would be an enlargement of an al- ready "spot" zoned area. It is also their opinion that due to the general character of the surrounding neighborhood the B-3 zoning would not be compatible. No action was taken on Petition No. 20-65 by Richard C. Rasmussen 305 No. Ramona Ave. , Elgin and Earl C. Weisinger, 1647 East Chicago St. , Elgin for Special Use Marina allowing dispensing of alcoholic beverages due to the request of Warren Carbary, attorney for the Petitioners, that a continuance be granted for four weeks or the next regular meeting of the Board. This request was granted by the Board. Due to lack of sufficient information on Petition No. 23-64, Helen D. Enoe, 539 Aller St. , Elgin, Special Use for Car Wash at 919 Villa St. , Elgin, action on this Petition was postponed until the next regular meeting of the Board, and Mrs. Enoe was advised of this. The Board went on record as objecting to being called previous to meetings by various parties in an effort to solicit their support for petitions. There being no further business to come before the Board, hearing was adjourned at 10:00 PM. R s ectfully subm�.tted, Secretary
