ORDINANCE NO. 0 -67- 15
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION VI
OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF
DEERFIELD [HOVLAND SUBDIVISION]
WHEREAS, the development and execution of the Zoning
Ordinance is based on the division of the Village into districts
within any one of which the use of land and build'n s and the
location of buildings and structures is essential niform; and
WHEREAS, an exception has been recognized in the case of
conditional uses which are unique in character and cannot be
properly classified in any particular district without considera-
tion in each case of the impact of those uses upon neighboring
property; and
WHEREAS, it is similarly recognized that there may be a
geographical area of the Village which, by reason of the history
of its development or absence thereof, its location with respect
to the remainder of the Village and surrounding and neighboring
uses, the nature of its subdivision into lots and blocks, the
absence of public improvements and municipal facilities,.and
unique problems in connection with its future development,can -
not properly be classified in any of the several districts pro-
vided for in this ordinance; and
WHEREAS, it is the considered judgment of the President and
Board of Trustees that the area commonly known as the Hovland
Subdivision and legally described as follows:
Lots 2 through 19, both inclusive (except any portion
thereof heretofore resubdivided into Unit No. 2 of
the 3rd Addition to Deerfield Park), Lots 21 through
39, both inclusive, Lots 42 through 79, both inclusive,
Lots 82 through 119, both inclusive, and Lots 121 through
150, both inclusive, in J. S. Hovland's First Addition
to Deerfield in the Southwest Quarter of Section 32,
Township 43 North, Range 12, East of the Third Principal
Meridian, in Lake County, Illinois,
is such a unique geographical area of the Village of Deerfield;
and
WHEREAS, it is the considered judgment of the President and
Board of Trustees that by reason of the absence 16 the Hovland
Subdivision of public improvements which are customary and, in
fact, required by ordinance in modern residential subdivision;
namely, paved streets, curbs and sidewalks, water mains, and
sanitary and storm sewers, the present classification of said
subdivision in the R -3 One- Family District is a proper one and
substantially and directly related to the public health, safety
and welfare; and
WHEREAS, it is recognized by the President and Board
of Trustees that if such public improvements as hereinabove
described were in fact constructed and installed in the Hov-
land Subdivision, the character and nature of the residential
development adjoining and neighboring said subdivision would
not warrant the continuation of all the restrictions imposed
on the development of said subdivision by reason of its classi-
fication in the R -3 One - Family District; and
WHEREAS, it is the considered judgment of the President
and Board of Trustees that it is in the public interest to,
encourage the development of the Hovland Subdivision, pro-
vided that such development is effected in an orderly and
planned manner so as to preserve and enhance property values,
protect the public health and safety by the construction and
installation of public improvements, and assure, to the extent
practical, the equal availability of the benefits of such de-
velopment among the property owners in said subdivision in pro-
portion to their ownership; and
WHEREAS, it is the considered judgment of the President
and Board of Trustees that in view of the unique and by modern
standards outdated platting of said subdivision into a grid-
iron of fifteen blocks, each containing ten lots, which lots
are approximately 120 feet.by 300 feet in size, and the absence
of agreement among the owners of property within said subdivision
as to a particular plan of development, such an orderly and
planned development as hereinabove described can only be ef-
fected through the zoning technique or tool commonly known as
"Planned Residential Developments" by which the corporate authori-
ties may control the development of said area; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the President and Board of
Trustees to cause to be constructed and installed within said
area certain public improvements, including sanitary sewers,
water mains and major storm sewers in order to protect the
public health, safety and welfare and provide the property
owners and residents with the benefits thereof; and
WHEREAS, it is the considered judgment of the President
and Board of Trustees that because of the unique character of
the Hovland Subdivision and the attendant problems in connection
with its development as hereinabove set forth, it cannot be pro-
perly zoned or classified in any of the present One- Family Dis-
tricts established by this ordinance, and that a special zoning
district or classification with particular regulations designed
therefor:is required for said area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD
OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD, LAKE AND COOK COUNTIES,
ILLINOIS, AS FOLLOWS:
. 2 .
