P.C. Report - Plagge Rezoning A report from the Plan Commission recommended
Petition Denied denial of the petition to rezone the Plagge
property at 515 -555 Elm Street from the R -5 Single -
family residence district to the R -7 Multiple- family district.
Mr. Richard Deutsch, Plan Commission Chairman pro tem, stated it was the opinion
of members of the Plan Commission, with one dissenting vote, that the highest and
best use of the property was for single family residences.
Mr. Charles Schwartz, attorney for the petitioners, said a 2 -story building with
17 one - bedroom apartments is proposed, meeting all Code requirements. The apartment
building would provide a more effective barrier between the railroad, commercial and
industrial developments to the east and the Village and Park District garages to the
south that single family residences as presently zoned. He also stated tax revenues
from the proposed apartment building would be substantially greater than from 3 or 4
houses.
Mr. Jack Gagne, a nephew of the owners, stated the Plagge family had owned the
property since 1895, paid taxes but had received no benefits. The elderly owners now
wish to sell the property because additional income is needed. Prior to 1958 he had
considered building a home on one of the lots, but had thought better of it because
of the location next to the railroad.. He stated the proposed 17 one - bedroom apart-
ments would not add materially to school problems, nor generate much additional traffic
on Elm Street, which is presently used by Village and Park District trucks from the
garages to the south. It was his opinion the proposed apartments would not detract
from the neighborhood, and the R -7 classification was the appropriate zoning for the
tract.
Trustee Stiehr moved, seconded by Trustee Neuman, that the Plan Commission's
recommendation be accepted and the petition for rezoning be denied. Adopted by the
following vote:
Ayes: Neuman, Stiehr, Forrest (3)
Nays: Kelm, Slavin (2)
