Accept BZA Report The report of the Board of Zoning
Re: Sara Lee Retail Sales Appeals was received on the petition
of Kitchens of Sara Lee for a variation
from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance to permit retail sales of
defective bakery goods at the Sara Lee Plant, 500 Waukegan Road. Three
members of the Board of Zoning Appeals recommended the variation be granted;
two members were opposed. Trustee Schleicher proposed that no action be
taken until decisions are made on the proposed B -4 restricted business
zoning for the area south of the Sara Lee plant, inasmuch as a precedent
might be construed to have been established by a variation for retai..Ftales
which could have an effect on the use of nearby properties. Both President
Hearn and Trustee Wetzel stated they did iiot find the retail sale of
defective bakery goods objectionable since it is not a major part of the
-,
overall operations of the company but results a quality control problem.
Trustee Schleicher stated the matter of retail sales had been taken
up by the Plan Commission at the time Sara Lee had petitioned for rezoning,
and no request had been made by the company at that time. He further stated
that a variation is ordinarily granted on proof of hardship, and in this
instance he was sure there were many retail outlets that would be happy
to sell the defective products of Sara Lee, especially local non -chain
merchants. He suggested that since the Board of Zoning Appeals customarily
hears matters pertaining to side or rear yard variations, matters per-
taining to use of.land be referred to the Plan Commission for considerati,an:.
Mr. Louis Ancell, attorney for Sara Lee, stated the company had
not agreed at any time that they would not have a retail outlet, but only
that.the matter would be discussed at a future date. He stated it was
his opinion the provision of the manufacturing regulations which excluded
retail sales was not legal, but the community was better served by
handling the retail sales assa variation rather than to delete this
provision from the zoning ordinance. He pointed out only 238 sq. ft.
of floor area would be used for the retail sales.
In answer to Trustee Mandler's question about signs for the pro-
posed retail sales, Mr. Douglass Mann of Sara Lee stated there would be no
promotional signs, only a sign on the salesroom door and possibly a sign
designating parking.
Trustee Wetzel stated he felt no precedent would be set by the
Sara Lee.retail sales,.and moved the majority report be accepted and the
variation be approved. Seconded by Trustee Mandler, and passed by the
following vote:
Ayes: Mandler, Smith, Wetzel (3)
Nays: Schleicher (1)
lst Presentation - Ordinance The first presentation was made
