Report The report of the Plan Commission was read Kottrasch Rezoning Petition recommending denial of the petition of Frank and Adolph Kottrasch to rezone property on the east side of Elm Street and south side of Franken Avenue from the R -5 Single - family District to the R -7 Multiple- Family District.

Frank and Adolph Kottrasch to rezone the Kottrasch Nursery property to the R -7 Multiple- Family District be denied. Mr. Richard Ross, attorney for the Messrs. Kottrasch, addressed the Board, citing reasons why the Plan Commission's recommendation should be overruled. He stated that the subject property is adjacent to the Railroad, Village and Park District service buildings, and the National Brick Company property, all having a direct and detrimental effect on his clients' land. The west side of Elm Street is improved with single family residences except one vacant lot, and the-residents thereof had testified at the public hearing that construction of apartments on the site would enhance and appreciate the value of their properties. Fears expressed by the Plan Commission that.pressures to rezone the west side of Elm Street to R -7 Multiple- Family if the petition is granted, were, in his opinion, speculative and unreasonable. Mr. Ross stated he had discussed the use of the Kottrasch property with realtors and developers, and it was their unanimous opinion that the cost of the land and improvements made development as a single - family district impractical and uneconomical, due to the deleterious effects of abutting non - residential uses. d� He said that.the Courts had held in similar cases that the center line of a street W is a valid boundary between zoning districts. He further stated that his clients UL� are prepared to seek relief i,n the Courts if the petition is denied.
