Mr. Cepon moved, seconded by Mr. Rudny, to continue the Public Hearing of Sam H. Hallak for a Special Use Permit to the Plan Commission meeting of May 16, 1990. Roll Call Vote: Ayes: Robison, Rudny, Cepon, Amaden & Aho Nays: None Motion Carried 5-0

3. Public Hearing: Petition of Mitchell Nowak for a map amendment to reclassify property at the southwest corner of Boulevard View and Grove Avenue from a R-2, Single-Family Residence District, to a R-3, Single-Family Residence District.

Mr. Randall Kuras, President of RSK Consultants, was in attendance to represent the petitioner. Mr. Kuras explained that Mr. Nowak is the property owner of 3455 Grove Avenue and wishes to subdivide his property to create four potential lots under the R-3 zoning district. Three lots would be 120 feet deep and 85 feet wide. The corner lot would be 120 feet deep and 100 feet wide.

Mr. Nowak has extended water to this site and intends to also extend sanitary sewer. He plans on selling these lots to pay back his investments on the improvements.

This rezoning would finish the block of R-3 zoning and would not create a negative impact on the surrounding area.

Mr. Cepon moved, seconded by Mr. Amaden to forward a favorable recommendation to the Village Board with regard to a map amendment to reclassify property at the southwest corner of Boulevard View and Grove Avenue from a R-2 to a R-3 Single Family Zoning District.

4. Review of request to vacate the alley to the east of Boulevard View, north of Glen Flora.

Mr. Rick Cruz was in attendance to present information to the Commission on this petition. Mr. Cruz explained that this alley runs south of the Nowak property and north of his lot.

Staff has reviewed this request and has found that the Village does not need to retain ownership. Mr. Reed stated that there may be a need for the Village to retain an utility easement.
