u I; � � June 4, 1969 CAS E NO : APPLICANT: �oca�rio �: 516-69 James EdlunrJ Southwest Corner of Ski I Iman Avenue and Snel I ing Avenue ACTION REQUESTED: R�zoning from "R-1" and "R-2" to "B-1" PLANNING COf'�lSIDERATIONS: 1. The sketch c�t the left indicates the location of the property in relationship �Yo contiguous development. The property in question is that portion shown ��rass-hatche;d. A copy of the survey submitted by the Applicar�t is also ��t�ached indicating the �lmenseons and location of the existing structures ��n the propertyo You will r�ote that the immediate corner property occupied by the existing office building measures 45 feet x 150 feet or 6,750 square {feeta T�is property was developed prior to the adopfion of the 1459 Zoning Ordinance and was left in a non-�conforming use wifih a single family zonee 5ubsequent to that the property to the south and to the west w�s rezoned to the "R-2" District, and thus that porfion of the property in question on the west side and the south sid� is currently zoned "R-2". The two properties together (shown crass-hatched) have approximc�tely 102 feet of froiitage on Snel I ing Avenue and a depth of 209 feet equal I ing an area of 21, 318 square feeto 2. The applicc�nt has apparently occupied the small office building on the immedial•e corner site for some time and conducts an insurance agency from the premises, The applicant has r�aw purchased the adjoining property, and is requesting that both praperties be rezoned to the "B-1" category which allows office structures as a permitted usee 3. The appl icant apparently has no immediate plans for changing the premises, bufi notes that if the property were destroyed he would not be able to reconstruct it under the non-conforming use provisionso Although we ha�e to be concerned about the quality s°� gle family home development to the south, we suggesi� that combining the two properties can be an asset to t�� neighborhood and the Village as a whole, Obviously, tripling the size �f the office structure site could enable the ultimate developrnent of an ex�ellent office arrangement providing adequate parking, landscaping, an� screening so as to gen�rally enhance the area in questiono
