Your enabling ordinance to allow repair and expansion of your house at 2124 Oak Brook Road, Oak Brook, Illinois, required that you obtain your construction permit by July 26, 1993. In light of the need to resolve details regarding your sewer service with the Village and County, I have been holding off on exercising that deadline. It is my understanding that approximately 3 to 4 weeks ago you were advised of the final details required by the County Department of Transportation regarding the installation of your sewer service on the Midwest Road right-of-way. Late last week, I became aware that you are again exploring alternative sewer and water systems with the County Health Department. These decisions should have been made several months ago. If you are not able to obtain your permit by November 12, 1993, I will have to find that you have not met with the July 26, 1993 deadline. Sincerely, Thomas R.

Permitting the rehabilitation of this property with the increased floor area will remove the principle detrimental effect this run down property represents for the immediate neighbors. Please see my previous memorandum regarding this issue (Page 42 of this file). The Zoning Board of Appeals at their December 1, 1992 meeting again reviewed this request and confirmed their original recommendation for approval by a vote of 4 to 1. Due to the condition of the existing structure and the small size of the lot, there is no perfect solution. If the structure is rehabilitated and used as a single family residence, many of the negative aspects of the property are minimized. If the property owner fails to repair the structure in the time frame agreed to, we will have to take action to require the repairs completed or to remove the building. Having established a posture of reasonable cooperation with the property owner will be helpful if it should become necessary to seek a demolition order. Also, please keep in mind that we must be careful in the application of the Zoning Ordinance to properties such as this in order to allow the property owner the ability to make reasonable use of the property, in this case, as a single-family residence. 33. Janu 6 , 1993 29 De shire Dr. TO:- Oak Brook Village Board of Trustees Subject : Mrs. Ardelle Geralds ' variation request , 2124 Oak Brook Road - The Old Rabbit Hill School Though on September 15 we wrote you of our fears pertaining to the possible approval of this variation, we would appreciate your taking another moment to review our rebuttals to Mrs. Geralds ' pleas : 1. She speaks of her desire to preserve the historical signif- icance of this structure as well as the interest of the His- torical Society in it , yet she has allowed it to fall into absolute disrepair since acquiring it in 1979. The Histor- ical Society's interest , if any, is puzzling since there would not be a shred of the original building remaining. In addition, the Historical Society makes it very clear they would put none of their money into project , so at best their interest is incidental. 2. Mrs. Geralds speaks of the taxes she pays. According to the "Doings" issue of September 25 , 1991 , the total assessed value of her building and land was $15 ,020 for 1991 , whereas the comparable total assessed value of our property for the same year was $120,880. Our home is the one that stands to lose value. She pays taxes but we pay eight times more ! 3. Mrs. Geralds says she wants to live there , yet has not done so since purchasing it in 1979. If she desires to live there she can, by simply repairing it and moving in - without enlarging. It did accommodate a whole school class at one time! : We seriously doubt she would ever live there , and can testify that without question she has not been good at sel- ecting quality tenants. 4. We do not believe truly caring parents would live in that house , even if it were enlarged. The lot is too small and too dangerous. Contrary to what she and her lawyer claim, it would not be in the interest of Oak Brook to allow the variation. There is too much likelihood that tenants drawn to it would be of questionable character and questionable activities as has been the case in the past , and this too we can testify to. We thank the Village Board for rejecting the variation request in the past. We deeply hope you will do so again. We tell you without exaggeration it has been a bad situation there , and one can only judge the future by the past. We fault ourselves that we somehow were unable to convey the seriousness of the condition to some members of the Village and Zoning Boards. We don't ob- ject to Mrs. Geralds rehabilitating; we know that is her right , but she knew the restrictions when she bought the property. She should live up to them. We welcome you to visit us , see for yourselves the situation as it is and the possibilities fhat exist , and put yourselves momentarily into our shoes. Thanks 3� again.

FOGARTY VARIATION - 3814 Washincrton - Side Yard The petitioner was represented by Mr. Brian Winley, agent for the owner and Larry Filippi, architect. Both were sworn. Mr. Hawk pointed out that the variation requested is not correctly described. The yard, that the proposed deck will be in, has been defined by two previous variations, as the rear yard. Mr. Winley described the proposed deck and indicated the following as reasons for the variation proposed. 1 . The deck will provide a secondary ingress/egress capability for the second floor which may be of use in an emergency. 2 . The original placement of the house very near to the rear and interior side lot lines constitutes a hardship and unique circumstance. 3 . The unusual topography of the site; specifically a steep hill rising to the west of the house. A general discussion ensued covering in part the following: 1 . the history of the site 2 . the size of the deck being large enough for purposes other than ingress/egress 3 . the floor plan 4 . the topography of the site ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes December 1, 1992 2 so . A ] Qvember 30, 1992 yy Devonshire Dr. Oak Brook Zoning Board of Appeals Village Hall Oak Brook, Ill. Subject: Variation Request - Old Rabbit Hill School This case is like a heavy weight hanging over our heads, never ending. We have previously told you, verbally and by letter.-of our very uncomfortable life and anxiety throughout the period of time this cottage was occupied, because of questionable activities in such proximity to our home. This dilapitated structure is practically in our back yard. You members of the board decided though to grant the varia- tion, and we had to conclude that we did not properly present our case or you did not believe us. We did, and are now telling the truth, and it is difficult to understand how you, as neighbors, could put yourselves into our shoes, which I think would be a normal thought process in making these judg- ments, and yet approve the variation. If, as _the owner declares , this is a historical building worth preserving, how could she have allowed it to fall into such disrepair? It has to be almost completely demol- ished, so :what will be left that is historically significant? She states she is ,paying taxes , implying this entitles her to the variation. But what about our taxes? The total assessed valuation of that cottage for 1991 was $15 ,020; our total was $120,880. Would we really devalue a $120,880 home for the sake of a $15 ,020 one? She claims she wants to live there , but hasn't since purchasing it in 19799 and her history of selecting tenants is not good. There is no guarantee that tenants will not live there again; Do we not have rights too? And the right to live under decent condi- tions? We are not objecting to her renovating this cottage ; we are objecting to enlarging it. We know the problems by experience with the cottage in the past. The lot is too small for a family of any size - the problems have to spill over into our yard and home, The owner knew the rules when she bought the cottage; We have done nothing wrong. Shouldn't people live up to agreements they make? We deserve consideration. We are real taxpayers. We urge you to put yourselves into our shoes. Come and see the configuration here if you have not done so. and ask yourselves whether you would approve the variation if you lived in . our home. Thank you.

ILLINOIS 60052 November 109 1992 To the Board of Trustees Village-of Oak Brook Dear Madam and Sir, The Rabbitt Hill school has long been a landmark in the village.

The children attend- ing classes there numbered about 17 to 20 in class size. The building has fallen int¢disrepair and the widening of Oak Brook Road has taken much of the property. The present owner has decided to renovate and occupy the building. The Oak Brook Historical Society supports her efforts to restore the build- ing and the property.

The Zoning Board of Appeals, at its regular meeting of October 6, 1992, voted (5 to 1) to recommend approval of this request subject to an 18 month, completion schedule. Following are several key elements pertaining to this issue. 1. The building was the Rabbit Hill School and it dates from the turn of the century. 2. According to Audrey Muschler, the Historical Society does not have any interest in this structure due to its condition. 3. It has been in use as a residence for many years but has been vacant for the last few years. 4. The owner wishes to rehabilitate it and increase the habitable floor area. 5. The property was isolated with the development of Brook Forest and was reduced in size by land takings for Oak Brook Road and Midwest Road. 6. The building condition is so deteriorated that if it isn't repaired soon, we will have to take action to force its removal. 7. As a non-conforming structure both repairs and alterations are permissible as long as any enlargements comply with the ordinance. The entire structure falls within required yards. There is no buildable area on this lot. The owner wishes to rehabilitate the building and add a partial 2nd level to make it more viable as a single family home. Mrs. Gerald has indicated that she is accepting of the timetable the Zoning Board of Appeals has recommended. Repairing the structure and returning it to use as a single family home will be beneficial for the area. If it is your wish to approve this variation, it would be appropriate to authorize the attorney to draft the necessary ordinance for your approval at your next meeting. l Ggke �' 90 9Q C u4iw ..

We presented our variation objections at the :iZ oning Board of Appeals September 1 meeting, and desire to similarly convey them to you via this letter because we will shortly be spending time with family in Upper Michigan, and while we hope this variation request will clever come up before you, it might while we are away. We are senior citizens and we recognize the danger of being dubbed "old fogies" in this matter, but we are not. We readily accept neighbors' normal back yard cookouts, games, etc , and we do our own share also, We are only asking, for good reason; that the owners of this cottage comply with what we were told by the now retired Fire/Building Commissioner in 1984, that the cottage could never be enlarged; that it could be repaired, but must remain arc ii ecturally unchanged. The owners say they pur- chased the cottage in 1979, so they had to be aware then of what the 1965 covenant stated , and they should not be allowed now to deviate at our expense. This cottage is not located in the same configuration as other homes here. Its north wall becomes a sounding board for all kiridd of noises and grill smoke that reverberates back into our home. We know, because we lived through it when there was just one tenant there. Now they want to add bedrooms and who knows how many people wind up there? And who knows what type of people would live there? We got a taste of this too and without burdening you with details can say it was not a good experience. We don't exaggerate when we say that after we moved in in 1984 is transformed our house into an attractive , well kept home , one Brook Foresters can look on with pleasure , and we did most of it through our own efforts. We know what prospective buyers of homes adjacent to this cot- tage ask about it , and they are given all kinds of inaccurate answers by realtors, which is not the village 's fault, but we asked the Building Commissioner directly, in his office , face to face , both of us, and he gave us the assurance mentioned. To permit this variation is tantamount to approving deprecia- tion of property owned by us, decent citizens of Oak Brook, in favor of a non-Oak Brook owner of a non-conforming, low value cottage that is practically yardless and completely out of sync with the rest of the area. Thanks for listening; Yours truly, Ema add Joseph J. ur Pv ..��..�- 29 Devonshire Dr. RECEMD Phone 323-8173 AF 16M natural resources in the region. Susan Johnson, President of the Park District, stated that the County had asked the Park District if they would consider responsibility for the buildings. As there has not been a Park Board meeting since the request was made, the Commissioners had not yet investigated the details thoroughly, but preliminary informal talk among the commissioners indicated they were not opposed to such a suggestion. She also noted that the configuration of the proposed buildings did not allow for parks as is the practice of new residential developments. Resident Nora Jackson, as well as resident Dorothy Dean Cavenaugh, urged the board to keep the open space for now and in the future. Additional support was given by resident Robert .Antoniolli, who is an intern architect. Resident Bob Waite urged the board to give the Nov. 3 referendum a chance and to not make a decision until after the referendum. Audrey Muschler then read a portion of a letter from Mr. Turner, Regional Director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation regarding legal cases in similar instances. She further noted that if the development would be allowed, it would have a substantial impact on the Village's. water allotment,-:schools, etc. She also encouraged the board not to act on berms until after the referendum. Resident Howard Trier spoke as a resident and pyschologist, and stated his views that open space should be preserved. He opposes berms as they tend to "close up" a community and take away open relaxation areas that are valuable to society. Concern over a small portion of land between Trinity Lakes and Mayslake was voiced by Ron Cullum, Trinity Lakes Homeowners Association. The land, referred to as "the grotto" is only accessible through Mayslake but contains a dam that is vital to Trinity Lakes. He also noted that the proposed - development did not come about as a "hardship", one of the criteria for granting a variation. At this point, with no other audience members wishing to speak, Member Davis made a motion, seconded by Member Shah to table this matter to the next Zoning Board meeting, at which time the developer, Tom Shannon, will have a chance to present his proposal and to answer the concerns raised at this meeting. VOICE VOTE: All in favor. Motion passed. III WOo VARIATION - 38 Devonshire Drive, rear yard variation Mr. Mike Campbell, Normandy Builders, presented Mrs. Woo's request for the variation to allow the Woo family to construct a 2 story addition to the rear of their home. Because of the angled rear yard, they are not able to enlarge their kitchen area, and maintain the required 40 ft. setback. The board agreed that such a variation would not alter the character of the neighborhood and would help the homeowner get a reasonable return on their property. Member Martis made the motion to approve the variation to allow a 36' back yard instead of the required 40' setback. Member Davis seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE: All in favor. Motion passed. V. GERALD'S VARIATION - 2124 Oak Brook Road, enlargement of an existing non- conforming structure Attorney John Brechin made an introductory presentation of the location and history of the property in question. It is adjacent to, but not part of, Brook Forest. Originally built as a schoolhouse, it has been a single family residence since the 1920's. The present owner seeks to renovate and reconstruct the residence. ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes -2- September 1, 1992 �� Mrs. Gerald stated that she is confronted with a hardship due to the fact that over the years the county has widened both Oak Brook Road and Midwest Road leaving her with about } of the original lot size. She proposed to "keep the building as close to the original as possible". However, due to the present disrepair of the home, Zoning Board members were concerned that little could be saved and questioned whether this would be a renovation or entirely new home that was being requested. Other questions arose as to sanitary sewer and water connections, the use of a "catwalk" to join the home to a coachhouse, and the actual height of structure being requested. Because of the incomplete proposal and presentation by Mrs. Gerald, Member Shah made, and Member Martis seconded, a motion to table this matter until the next meeting so that Mrs. Gerald could return with more definite plans. Before the vote, Mr. Hurley, the neighbor to the north, expressed his opposition to any work on the house. He is concerned about the small lot size, sanitary waste, and noise generated by so close a neighbor. VOICE VOTE: All in favor. Motion passed. V.

Hawk SUBJECT: Geralds Petition - 2124 Oak Brook Rd. - "Rabbit Hill School - Expansion of an existing nonconforming structure. In reviewing this proposal, please keep the following points in mind: 1) The property is currently vacant, however its use as a residence has been established. 2) Due to the required setbacks, the property has no area on it which does not fall within a required yard. 3) The lot size is approx. 8000 square feet. The R-3 minimum lot size is 25, 000 square feet. 4) The floor area is approx. 1170 square feet. The R-3 minimum floor area for a one story dwelling is 1,500 square feet. This, in itself, may constitute a hardship that justifies a variation, in that expand- ing the home will bring it more into line with the minimum which the Zoning Ordinance has set. 5) Since the property is only nonconforming as to bulk and is conforming as to use, there are no requirements to discontinue its use as a residence in its present configuration. It may be repaired without the need for Village approval 6) Before being re-occupied, the required utilities will have to be provided - water, sewer, etc. 7) Due to its present condition and regardless of the final outcome of this petition, the structure will have to be rehabilitated or removed in the very near future. 8) Due to its present state of detioration, Audrey Muschler has indicated to me that it is no longer considered a historical structure of any significance. The proposed renovation by Mrs. Geralds will not be done as a historic building. geralds.ltr pOE OF OAIC e40 v •` Of G `O v 9C�COUNt.4, VILLAGE O F OAK BROOK 1200 OAK BROOK ROAD OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 60521 -2255 708 990.3000 August 19, 1992 Dear Resident: At the request of the petitioner, the Variation request for 2124 Oak Brook Road is being tabled until the September 1 , 1992 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, If you are unable to attend this meeting, your comments can be heard at the August 24th meeting, when this item will be tabled, or directly to me either verbally or in writing .

DEDICATED 'O 9Er ER SERVICE G�J „d ek RECEIVED AUG 181M Ij�® SP.12C O August 17 , 1992 Zoning Board of Appeals Oak Brook Subject: Variation Request 2124 Oak Brook Road The Old Rabbit Hill School We are senior citizens living at 29 Devonshire Drive , Lot 163 , immediately north of the above cottage. We moved into our home in 1984 and have devoted our retire- ment lives, including our personal labor and resources to constant improvement of our property so that today we have a very attractive home and surroundings, of which we are proud, and at which we believe our neighbors can look with satisfaction. We have always minded our own business. But at this point we are compelled to make it our business to let it be known we strenously object to approval of the above variation, and for good reasons. We were assured by the previous owners of our home, and we had it confirmed to both of us face to face by the Fire Commissioner/Building Commissioner at that time , now retired, that this cottage , by covenant, could never be altered; that repairs could be made but the basic design must be kept intact. At the time we occupied our new home a young man lived in the cottage, and we optimistically assumed one person could hardly present a problem, and there seemed to be insufficient space for much more than one person. How little we knew ! Our only pleasant days living here have been since he moved out. We need not go into the more sordid details, but we certainly learned the imperative need for space between homes, which is precisely what makes Oak Brook a desireable location. This cottagg is certainly not in keeping with the Oak Brook standards, nor would it be with the proposed improvements. The cottage is on our flank and has an absolutely minimum yard space, all of which is on our side of the cottage. The what seemed to be toxious smoke from the young tenant's grill, the noise from his late night get-togethers, the odors from chemicals he used in preparing commercial signs, and large ones, all done in the "yard" , bounced off the background (the northern wall of the cottage) into our rooms. L EIVE14G 1 � NI 0 -2- As an "aside" I can state the Oak Brook policewoman was not sympathetic. And now they want to enlarge the cottage to accommodate more tenants! The outdoor space there is not adequate. We buy homes in Oak Brook to get some space , pleasant living space which this variation would take away from us. The owners of this cottage, if we were given accurate in- formation by the Building Commissioner, have known about the restricting covenant for years. We can't imagine the Village of Oak Brook prolonging the mistake made years ago when this piece of non-conforming property was demarcated. Approval of this variation and non-conformity will lead to depreciation in the value of property in Lots 162 and 163 placing the village in the position of supporting a non- Oak Brook owner of a subpar, non-conforming cottage of relatively low value against two solid, conforming Oak Brook families who we believe are assets to the community, and who have very substantiA-1 investments here. We don't believe you will find approval rational, but we felt compelled to express ourselves. oseph J. Hurley Ema Hurley 29 Devonshire Dr. Oak Brook, I1.60521 p.S. And what about water and sewers? Where will the water come from? Is a septic tank required? If SO, is there--, ample yard space for the tank, so that we wilinrotected for health and sanitation safety? We know the village will automatically investigate these , but you can understand our concern. RECEIVED VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK C[ PLANNING/ZONING o �♦v�O�OF OAk 9 OO'J 9 9O�COLIN 1. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK 1200 OAK BROOK ROAD OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 60521 -2255 August 7, 1992 708 990- 3000 MEMO TO: Tom Hawk, Director of Code Enforcement FROM: Dale L. Durfey, Jr. , P.E. SUBJECT: Rabbit Hill School/Geralds ' Variation 2124 Oak Brook Road I have reviewed the above stated variation application and offer the following comments: 1. Village water service is available as per Mike Meranda' s May 8, 1992 letter. 2. Sanitary sewer service presents somewhat of a problem. The closest Hinsdale Sanitary District sewer line is on Midwest Road approximately 1,000 feet north of 31st Street . This would be a long run to service a single building. The cost factors alone may render it economically unfeasible. Mrs. Geralds states in her June 19th submittal letter that a chemical sewer system could be augmented to service this residence. As I am presently unfamiliar with that type of a system, it would have to be reviewed pending formal submittal of all required documentation. Section V ( I )(2) of the Zoning Ordinance provides for such relief. It appears that Section V ( I ) (4) might also apply to this site. A further variation from this provision may be required. 3. I question whether or not this parcel is a lot of record. In this regard, I am confused by the Plat of Survey submitted which shows that this property entails the south ten ( 10' ) feet of Lot 163 and west ten ( 10' ) feet of Lot 162 of the Brook Forest Subdivision. I question if these ten ( 10' ) foot strips had a transfer of title and what documents transferred title. An Assessment Plat may be required depending upon the answers to these questions. 4. Mrs. Geralds in her letter mentions an attached letter from the DuPage County Department of Transportation. That letter was not attached to my packet and I would like a copy of same. ;.1 s � 5. Mrs. Geralds mentions a severe incline for the driveway serving this property. In viewing the site, the driveway incline is more than one would desire, but is useable. Prior to any construction activity, the grades should be designed to insure that vehicles do not "bottom out" upon entering or exiting the street or garage. 6. I note that the application is incomplete regarding action requested and the phone numbers of the owner and applicant. Respe lly submitted, vd,11114 Dale L.

(G) Variations. (1) Authority: The Board of Trustees shall decide all applications for variations of the provisions of this ordinance after a public hearing held before the Zoning Board of Appeals on such notice as shall be required by the Illinois Statutes. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall hold public hearings upon all applica- tions for variations and shall report its recommenda- tions to the Board of Trustees as to whether a requested variation would be in harmony with its gen- eral purpose and intent, and shall recommend a varia- tion only where it shall have made a finding of fact specifying the reason or reasons for recommending the variations. Such findings shall be based upon the stand- ards prescribed in Section XIII G-4 of this ordinance. No variation shall be granted by the Board of Trustees without such findings of fact. In the case of a variation where the Zoning Board of Appeals fails to recommend the variation, it can only be adopted by an ordinance with the favorable vote of two-thirds of the Trustees. (2) Initiation: An application for a variation shall be in triplicate and may be made by any governmental 966 APPENDIX A—ZONING Sea XIII office, department, board, bureau or commission, or by any person, firm or corporation having a freehold interest, a possessory interest entitled to exclusive possession, a contractual interest which may become a freehold interest, or any exclusive possessory interest applicable to the land or land and improvements described in the application for a variation.

(2) The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances. (3) The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. (b) For the purpose of supplementing the above standards, the Zoning Board of Appeals, in making the. determination whether there are practical difficulties or particular hardships, shall also take into consideration the extent to which the following facts, favorable to the applicant, have been established by the evidence that: 967 Sec.XIII OAK BROOK CODE (1) The particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific property involved would bring a particular hardship upon the owner as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulation were to be carried out. (2) The condition upon which the petition for variation is based would not be applicable generally to the other property within the same zoning classification. (3) The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious - to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is lo- cated. (4) The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the danger of fire, or otherwise endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. (5) That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to make more money out of the property.

A variation in zoning requirements is requested to relieve hardships and unique circumstances involved in restoration of the property at 2124 Oak Brook Rd. , Oak Brook, Ill. The property, which is one of the few structures existent of the Village history, is recognized as the Rabbit Hill School and a residence for many years. (See "As Built" submitted. ) Due to location and community development, the property has been cut back many times by highway development as progress was induced by forfeiting its boundaries and pre-existing conditions. In upgrading the living area and comprising a far superior residence, the addition of a second floor and dormer, the necessitated reconstruction of the foundation and for basement use, and dormer additions to the coach house to provide light and for utilization of a second floor cat walk (for easy access from the loft of the main residence) , and functional purpose providing space that is greatly needed, the property will closer comply with Village code. The footprint of the two buildings remains basically the same with minor differences. With the removal of the shed (for drive-thru facilitation) there is a decreased building lot coverage. The plight of reconstruction of the owner and unique circumstance is to enhance the existing property to a superior residence that will become an attractive and functional family dwelling. A chemical sewer system could be augmented, as has been the case in Oak Brook and for less in installed cost since no obvious sewer hook-up has been facilitated. The attached letter from the DuPage County Dept. of Transportation shows authorization of a sewer connection on Midwest Road in the event no other closer or more feasible exposure is granted. A request for a drive-through coach house for a turn-around is a facility necessary to accommodate a severe incline induced by the cutback of the road and an access drive adjacent to the east of the coach house for exiting and entering a heavy traffic area to Oak Brook Road (31st Street) . The property at this address cannot yield a reasonable return as restricted as it presently is. These requested variations will reduce and minimize the injurious effect of time and hardships of the property. Page 2 By upgrading the buildings with larger and more attractive living space and an essential safety factor in ingress and egress implemented, this property will better comply to Village code, retain a documented landmark of Oak Brook, and meet with the growth of the community of the Village of Oak Brook.
