So. Waukegan Zoning recommending denial of the petitions of
Tu 1 District Messrs. Irl Marshall, Arthur Ullmann and
others, to rezone property on the west side
of South Waukegan Road to the B -2 Central Business classification, and further
recommending that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to establish regulations for
a new Transitional Use District. The proposed ordinance was read in full.
Mr. Stanley Grosshandler, attorney for Mr. Marshall, stated they had
not been notified of the hearing, and objected to several requirements of the
proposed ordinance relating to minimum lot size, setbacks, a separate building
for each use and the minimum size of buildings. He suggested several modifications
which would make the proposed ordinance acceptable to his client. He will
submit a letter giving his suggestions.
A letter was received from Mrs. William P. Bradley opposing the
petitioned rezoning. Mr. Bradley and several other residents of the Briarwood
Vista Subdivision spoke in opposition to the rezoning, and asked that further
study be given to the area. Theysstated they feared a "Glenview strip" type
of development which would be unattractive, increase traffic congestion, and
adversely affect development on the east side of Waukegan Road. It was pointed
out that the property in question had been purchased with a residential classifi-
114
cation. Mr. Bradley stated petitions were being circulated and 158 signatures
had been obtained objecting to the proposed business use of the property. Mrs.
Marian Cole urged that no change be made in the present 0 t R classification.
of these properties, and pointed out that variations from the greater restrictions
of the proposed Transitional Use District were being proposed prior to the
enactment of the ordinance, and downgrading would almost certainly result.

restrictions than either of the present Business District regulations, which
would prevent a Glenview type development. Mr Richard Ross, attorney for
Messrs. Weisenberg, Ullmann and Sackheim, stated his clients would be satisfied
with the TU 1 District as proposed.
