The more restrictive requirements for 100 Windsor Drive shall remain in effect as long as 1800 Swift Drive is in need of the relief hereby granted. Background Blistex is a long standing corporate resident of Oak Brook. Originally they occupied property on Enterprise Drive and in 1978 they moved operations to larger facilities at 1800 Swift Drive. In 1996, they acquired the 100 Windsor Drive to accommodate needed expansion and their proposed variations will allow site and building modifications to that purpose. If the two properties were contiguous we would be able to consider them as a single zoning lot and the needed modifications could be accomplished without relief from the Zoning Ordinance. Unfortunately, the properties are separated by a twenty-five foot (25') wide driveway that is owned by American Stores, 1818 Swift Drive. The proposed floor area increases will be accomplished wholly within the 1800 Swift Drive building by adding second floor area in a portion of the building that is currently configured as a single floor high ceiling area. The external site changes are essentially the addition of a parking area to the west side of the 1800 Swift Drive building. The proposed changes place the 1800 Swift Drive building in noncompliance with the Zoning Ordinance in the areas of FAR parking spaces, and loading berths. This proposal seeks to resolve this problem through the granting of Zoning Ordinance relief for the 1800 Swift Drive property which will be offset by increased restrictions on the 100 Windsor Drive. The two properties if viewed together are in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance intensity of use bulk regulations.

Blistex is seeking variations to the Floor Area Ratio (FAR), parking space, and loading berth requirements for their facilities at 1800 Swift Drive and 100 Windsor Drive. Present needs necessitate expansion of their production capabilities which can only reasonably be accomplished through internal modification of the 1800 Swift Drive building. If the two sites were contiguous, variations would be unnecessary since the two properties could then be considered a single zoning lot; however, the two properties are separated by a twenty-five foot (25) strip of land containing the driveway for an adjacent neighboring property (American Stores, 1818 Swift Drive). The variations, if approved, will allow increased intensity of use of the 1800 Swift Drive building which will be offset by more restrictive intensity of use of the 100 Windsor Drive facility. If the two properties were viewed together, the overall intensity of use would be within the levels specified in the Zoning Ordinance for FAR, parking spaces, and loading berths. In any event the intensity of use requested is significantly less than the village wide proposals being considered by the Plan Commission in their review to update the Zoning Ordinance. There was no public testimony in opposition, however a residential neighbor to the north of 1800 Swift Drive did point.out the need for more effective screening of the parking area. Blistex has agreed to enhance the landscaping to accomplish this purpose. /3. April 16, 1997 President Bushy and Board of Trustees RE: Blistex Page Two The Zoning Board of Appeals by a vote of 5 to 0, passed a motion recommending approval of the requested variations and including several conditions as follows: 1800 Swift Drive 1. A Variation allowing the increase in the FAR at 1800 Swift Drive to .51 subject to verification of the calculations. 2. Variation to allow 138 parking space, 10 fewer than required. 3. Variation to allow 2 loading berths instead of the required 4. 100 Windsor 4. A Variation to restrict the FAR to .37. 5. A Variation to increase required parking spaces to 53, 9 more than presently required. 6. A Variation not to reduce the loading berths below 5. Conditions 1. Additional landscape screening of the parking area will be provided for the residential properties that abut the property. 2. The plans are to be constructed in substantial conformance with the plans as presented to the Board. 3. All variations are to remain in place as long as 1800 Swift Drive is in need of the relief to the F.A.R., loading berth, and parking spaces. Very truly yours, NOTE: Chairman Davis has reviewed and verbally approved the content of this letter. The signed original will be placed in the Official file upon receipt.

II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Member Shah moved, seconded by Member Dosedlo, to waive the reading of the March 4, 1997, regular Zoning Board of Appeals meeting minutes and to approve them as written. VOICE VOTE: All in favor. Motion carried. Ill. BLISTEX INC. - 1800 SWIFT DRIVE AND 100 WINDSOR DRIVE VARIATIONS TO FLOOR AREA RATIO AND NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES AND LOADING BERTH REQUIREMENTS Michael Wojcik, Vice President, Operation of Blistex Inc. and John Huntington, McBride Baker and Coles were sworn and provided testimony in support of the variation requests. John Huntington advised the Board that they are seeking variations for two different buildings. He noted that after Hawk had reviewed the application and discovered errors in calculations computing Floor Area Ratios. The calculations divided the lot size by the full size of the building including the loading areas. The corrections have been made and will be reviewed for final verification by Hawk. Additionally, the elevator shaft area calculations were also added wrong. The calculations have been resubmitted and added to the file (see Pages 10-10c) . The adjustments were made as described in his letter(see Petition File no. 11-11 a) . Michael Wojcik advised the Board that Blistex has been in Oak Brook since 1968 and manufactures various brand pharmaceutical products. In 1978 they outgrew their facility on Enterprise and built their building on Swift Drive. In March of 1996 they acquired the Stridex brand products from the ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes April 1, 1997 Bayer Corporation and in the same month acquired the building on 100 Windsor Drive to accommodate their growth. The proposed expansion will allow the Stridex manufacturing to be located in the 1800 Swift Building. With these changes, all production facilities will be in the 1800 Swift Drive building along with some of the warehousing. The balance of the warehousing and all shipping activities will take place out of the 100 Windsor Drive building. They currently have 145 employees between the two buildings, and that will expand to 152 when Stridex is brought in. They currently work two shifts M-F 6:45 to 3:15 p.m. and 3:30 to midnight. The parking and building lighting complies with Village regulations. The proposal as outlined provides additional second floor area in the 1800 Swift building. It allows them to spread out and reconfigure their production operations. The plan is to convert the Windsor building to warehousing and shipping. The 100 Windsor building is well under the FAR requirement, but the Swift building would be over. The two parcels considered together will be under the FAR requirement. There will be no exterior changes to the buildings. Parking will be added along the west side of the 1800 Swift Drive building. There will be no added parking to the north side that borders the residential area. There will be no parking area lighting added to the area that borders the residential area. There will be no change to the footprint or the height of the buildings. There will be a shift in truck traffic away from the Swift Drive building. The Windsor building has five enclosed loading docks and has more than adequate dock area. ov Chairman Davis asked Attorney Huntington to summarize the variation requests, and he responded as follows: The current FAR is .43 at Swift Drive and .37 at Windsor Drive. The FAR at Swift Drive will be increased to .51. The combined FAR with the increase at Swift included would be .44 which is still under the .45 FAR allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. The combined parking requirements for Office, Production and Warehouse space will require 191 spaces and they will be able to provide that. They will add 20 spaces to the Swift building and the Windsor building has a little excess of the parking requirements so combined they will meet the 191 required. The Swift Drive building should have four loading berths and two are provided. The Windsor building would be required to have three and it has five. If you combine the two there are more than sufficient loading berths. Chairman Davis asked if they had attempted to purchase the property between the two buildings. Mr. Wojcik noted that the owner of the driveway has their building for sale, and they are not interested because it would complicated the sale of their building. Hungtington noted that if the properties were contiguous there would be no need for the variation requests. He noted that the proposed improvements would comply with the Zoning Ordinance requirements. The twenty-five foot strip of land physically segregates the parcel from being a single zoning lot. By granting the variations, a comparable result can be accomplished. One building will exceed the requirements and one building will be well under the requirements. The variations if granted, will not alter the character of the locality, because the outward dimensions of the buildings will not change and the use in the buildings will not change. The physical conditions of the buildings creates a hardship. They are not separated by a public right-of-way or another developable lot of record. These two facilities will never be separated by public traffic nor another permanent structure. He further reviewed the standards as spelled out pages E3 and E4 of the petition file. ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Minutes April 1, 1997 • # Jim Hughes, the residential next door neighbor, complimented Blistex that they have always been an excellent neighbor and they have never had a problem living next door to a commercial building. He questioned that the plans looked like one-way traffic that would bring headlights directly onto his home and into his bedroom windows. Wojcik answered that the existing drive is unchanged and will not be heading into the direction of his home. The only time there would be any activity in the lot referred to would be if there were an overflow from the lot on Swift. Jim Hughes also noted the vegetation screening has been trimmed back too far and there are bare spots. Mr. Wojcik replied that they will fill it in as part of the facilities improvements. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to the petition request. Chairman Davis questioned what would happen in the future if one of the parcels was sold. Huntington said that Hawk had said that the Ordinance would be recorded against the title to the 100 Windsor building which imposes more restrictive requirements. If they were to be sold it would then be subject to those restrictions. Chairman Davis said that the relief appears to be necessary and they have met the standards as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Member Butler moved, seconded by Chairman Davis, that the petitioner has met the standards required for variations and to recommend for approval the requested variations and including several conditions as follows: 1800 Swift Drive 1. A Variation allowing the increase in the FAR at 1800 Swift Drive to .51 subject to verification of the calculations. 2. Variation to allow 138 parking space, 10 fewer than required. 3. Variation to allow 2 loading berths instead of the required 4. 100 Windsor 4. A Variation to restrict the FAR to .37. 5. A Variation to increase the required parking spaces to 53, 9 more than presently required. 6. A Variation not to reduce the loading berths below 5. Conditions 1. Landscape screening of the parking area will be provided for the residential homes that abut the property. 2. The plans are to be constructed in substantial conformance with the plans as presented to the Board. 3. All variations to remain in place as long as 1800 Swift Drive is in need of the relief to the F.A.R., loading berth, and parking spaces.

Hawk Code Enforcement Director Village of Oak Brook 1212 Oak Brook Road Oak Brook, IL 60521 Re : Blistex Inc . - 1800 Swift Drive and 100 Windsor Drive - Variations Dear Mr. Hawk: Enclosed are our revised calculation sheets for the Blistex expansion on the agenda for tonight' s meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals . The revisions reflect : 1 . Revised floor area calculation - item 9 - to show the ratio of the floor area, minus loading areas, to the building site; 2 . Increase in the usable floor area in the 1800 Swift (Proposed) building; and 3 . Reduction in the lot area of the 1800 Swift building to account for the area in the cul de sac which is not part of the Blistex lot of record. The final revision is a new item. In reviewing the plans to answer the questions you raised, it was determined that the architect calculated the lot area by multiplying the lot width by the lot depth. This did not reflect that a portion of the "square" fulls within the public right of way of the Swift Drive cul de sac . This slight reduction does not cause us to exceed the ratios for which the variations are requested. The second revision was required because the architect did, in fact , count elevator shaft and stairwells only once in its calculations of the floor area of the building. This is contrary to the provisions of your zoning ordinance, which requires that horizontal surfaces of the building on each floor be counted . This increases the floor area by 1792 square feet . SOO WC-,I MikliSU11 Street, 1Ulh rl(jur CNcago, IL.60661 251 1 312 7'15-57no rax 112 993 93!)U // Mr. Thomas R. Hawk April 1, 1997 Page 2 You will note that I have reduced the possible expansion of the 1800 building from 3 , 500 square feet to 2 , 000 square feet . This reduction was required due to the increase in floor area attributable to the proper inclusion of the elevator shaft and stairwell in the floor area of the 1800 building. After reviewing these calculations with the architect, we have determined that the floor areas of the various components of the buildings shown on the enclosed calculation sheets are correct . In the event of inconsistencies between these numbers and the numbers shown on the Plana submitted with the original application, the numbers shown on the enclosed calculation sheets should control . Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the enclosed calculations or any other aspect of our presentation at tonight' s meeting of the zoning Board of Appeals .

Since the use of the two properties is very closely related, this petition is somewhat unusual. Blistex is a long standing manufacturing facility in Oak brook. They have occupied 1800 Swift Drive for many years and recently acquired the 100 Windsor Drive property. The two properties are located in close proximity to each other and are only separated from each other by a driveway owned by American Stores, 1818 Swift Drive. Blistex has need to expand its production facilities at 1800 Swift Drive. This can be accomplished within the present structure by adding a second floor within an area that is currently high ceiling warehouse area. The proposed changes at 1800 Swift Drive, will cause this building site to exceed the permitted F.A.R. and also be deficient in loading berths and parking spaces. However, the 100 Windsor site is below the permitted F.A.R. and has excess loading berths and parking spaces. The properties if evaluated together would be in compliance. However, the Zoning Ordinance requires that separate parcels must be contiguous in order to be considered a single zoning lot. This petition seeks to resolve this difficulty by off setting variations for the two properties that will in effect bind the two properties together as if they were a single zoning lot. Based on my review of the submittal material it appears that there may be an error in the calculations of the F.A.R. for 1800 Windsor as proposed. It should be 99,289 square feet divided by 202,067 square feet which equals .49 instead of.52 as shown. March 26, 1997 Zoning Board of Appeals RE: Blistex Inc. Page Two Also, the plan documents indicate that the areas of the new elevator and stairwells was not included in floor area totals as required. The specification sheets, F-F3, however, appear to include these areas. A motion to recommend either approval or denial should include findings with respect to the standards specified in the Variation section of the Zoning Ordinance. If a recommendation for approval is your action, it should be limited to building modifications constructed in substantial conformity with the plans submitted and should require that the F.A.R., loading berth, and parking space limitations on 100 Windsor Drive are to remain in place as long as 1800 Swift Drive is in need of the relief to the F.A.R., loading berth, and parking spaces.

(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 1 APPENDIX A—ZONING Sec. 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. (3) Processing.

(4) Standards: (a) The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not recom- mend a variation of the provisions of this ordinance as authorized in this section unless it shall have made findings of fact based upon the evidence presented to it on the following specific issues that: (1) The property in question cannot yield a reasonable return if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regula- tions governing the district in which it is located. (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. (6) That the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. (c) The Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend and the Board of Trustees may require such conditions and restrictions upon the premises benefited by a variation as may be necessary to comply with the standards set forth in this section to reduce or minimize the injurious effect of such variation upon other property in the neighbor- i hood, and to implement the general purpose and intent of this ordinance. (5) Unauthorized Variations: The variation procedure shall in no case be used to accomplish a result which 968 APPENDIX A—ZONING Sec. XIII 1 could otherwise be achieved by a rezoning of the property involved, such as, but not limited to, establishment or expansion of a use not permitted in a residence district; authorizing the construction of residences in other than residence districts; nor authorizing other than single-family detached res- idences in the R1, R2, R3 and R4 Districts. (6) Re-applications: Any person, firm, or corporation having been denied a variation to the Zoning Ordinance respecting a specific parcel of property may not re-apply for a like variation on said real property until the period one (1) year has elapsed since the denial of the application for variation by the President and Board of Trustees.

Facilities 1800 Swift Drive 100 Windsor Drive Oak Brook, Illinois 60521 Gentlemen: The purpose of this letter is to supplement the Petition Applications for Public Hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals on April 1, 1997, to request variations of Sections X (B) (8) , XI (D) (7) and XI (E) (12) of the Village of Oak Brook Zoning Ordinance applicable to the buildings at 1800 Swift Drive and 100 Windsor Drive . Submittals In support of the Petition, enclosed are the following: 1 . Petition Application for Public Hearing by Blistex Inc. requesting zoning variations for the property at 1800 Swift Drive, Oak Brook, Illinois 60521 (the 111800 Building" ) (2 copies) . 2 .

Conceptual Plans, consisting of eight (8) sheets, prepared by Otis Associates, Inc . dated February 3 , 1997 (the "Plans" ) detailing proposed improvements to the above properties, especially interior floor area expansion of the building located at 1800 Swift Drive (18 sets) . 500 West Madison Street,40th Floor Chicago, IL. 60661-2511 312 715-5700 Fax 312 993-9350 Zoning Board of Appeals February 21, 1997 Page 2 4 .

Legal Description of the property commonly known as 100 Windsor Drive, Oak Brook, Illinois 60521 (2 copies) . 6 . My calculations, consisting of four (4) sheets, of the off- street loading and parking requirements and the floor area ratio requirements of the 100 Building, the 1800 Building (both before and after the proposed improvements) , and for both buildings after the proposed improvements considered on a combined basis (2 sets) . 7 . Photo-copy of a License Agreement dated April 15, 1986, between Osco Drug, Inc. and Blistex Inc. (the "License" ) which grants to Blistex Inc. the right to use that portion of the private drive controlled by Osco (now American Stores, Inc . ) adjacent to the 1800 Building (2 copies) . 8 . Our firm' s check number 1739 payable to the order of the Village of Oak Brook in the amount of $300 . 00, representing the fee for filing of the Petition of Blistex Inc . pertaining to the 1800 Building. 9 . Our firm' s check number 1740 payable to the order of the Village of Oak Brook in the amount of $300 . 00, representing the fee for filing of the Petition of Blistex 100 L.L. C. pertaining to the 100 Building. Backcrround Legal title to the 1800 Building is held by Blistex Inc . ( "Blistex" ) . The property is occupied by Blistex as its corporate headquarters, for processing and testing of its over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, and for warehousing. Legal title to the 100 Building is held by Blistex 100 L.L.C. The 100 Building is occupied exclusively by Blistex pursuant to the terms of a written lease between the title holder and Blistex for a term expiring February 28, 2001, subject to two renewal options of five (5) years each. Blistex uses the 100 Building primarily as a warehouse for its products . The 1800 Building and the 100 Building abut a private drive approximately 25 feet in width which Blistex has permission to use pursuant to the License. Blistex thus has occupancy of the contiguous properties consisting of the 100 4r-/. 0 • Zoning Board of Appeals February 21, 1997 Page 3 Building, the 1800 Building and the private drive abutting each as shown on Diagram 7 (i. e. , the eighth sheet) of the Plans. Both buildings are located entirely within the Village' s ORA1 Office- Research-Assembly District . The project The primary purpose of the improvements shown on the Plans is to permit the expansion of Blistex, current business operations . Blistex intends to increase the interior floor area of the 1800 Building through the creation of additional second floor space, and to expand the off-street parking facilities to account for the increased floor area. Blistex proposes an increase of roughly twenty percent of the interior floor area of the 1800 Building. The Lot Area of this parcel is 202, 067 square feet .. Floor Area for the purposes of calculating Floor Area Ratio would increase from 83 , 521 square feet to 99, 289 square feet, resulting in an increase in the Floor Area Ratio from .41 to . 52 . Floor Area for the purposes of calculating off-street loading and parking would increase from 77, 139 square feet to 99, 289 square feet, resulting in an increase in the number of required Loading Berths from 3 to 4, and an increase in the number of required Parking Spaces from 120 to 148 . The actual number of loading docks (2) will not be increased, although a drive-in loading door will be added. The actual number of parking spaces will increase from 118 to 138 . There will be a negligible decrease in the Floor Area for the purposes of calculating Floor Area Ratio in the 100 Building due to the designation of a small portion of the existing warehouse as a loading area adjacent to a new drive-in loading door. The Lot Area of this parcel is 162,152 square feet . The building area exclusive of loading areas will be 59, 690 square feet, resulting in a Floor Area Ratio of . 37 . Floor Area for the purposes of calculating off- street loading and parking will remain unchanged at 68, 620 square feet, so there will be no change in the number required Loading Berths (3) nor in the number of required Parking Spaces (44) . The present 5 loading docks and 1 drive-in door will be supplemented by the addition of a new drive-in door. The existing 56 Parking Spaces will be reduced to 53 to accommodate loading and maneuvering requirements . 0 Zoning Board of Appeals February 21, 1997 Page 4 The Plans do not reflect an expansion of the exterior dimensions, or foot-print, of either of the buildings, an increase in Structure Height, nor a reduction in any Yard. The present uses of the buildings will not change. The variations First, the applicants seek a variation of Section X (B) (3) of the Zoning Ordinance to permit an increase in the allowable Floor Area Ratio at the 1800 Building to . 52 , and to impose a corresponding reduction in the allowable Floor Area Ratio at the 100 Building to . 37, so that the combined Floor Area Ratio of the two buildings will not exceed the .45 Floor Area Ratio allowed for individual zoning Lots in the ORA1 zone . The actual Floor Area Ratio for the improvements shown on the Plans is . 44 . Second, the applicants seek a variation of Section XI (D) (7) to reduce the required number of Loading Berths at the 1800 Building from 4 to 2, and to impose a corresponding increase in the required number of Loading Berths at the 100 Building from 3 to 5, so that the combined number of Loading Berths, i .e . 7, would exceed the 4 Loading Berths that would be required for an individual building having a total Floor Area (for the purposes of calculating off- street loading) of 173 , 267 square feet . Third, the applicants seek a variation of Section XI (E) (12) of the Zoning Ordinance to reduce the number of Required Parking Spaces at the 1800 Building from 148 to 138, and to impose a corresponding increase in the number of required Parking Spaces at the 100 Building from 44 to 53, so that the combined number of Parking Spaces would equal the 191 Parking Spaces that would be required for an individual building having a total Floor Area (for the purposes of calculating off-street parking) of 173 , 267 square feet and an allocation of office, production and warehouse uses contemplated by Blistex. Standards The 1800 Building and the 100 Building are not "adjoining" within the Zoning Ordinance definition of that term. They are separated, if only by a 25 foot wide private drive created as the sole means by which access to a public street could be provided to the American Stores facility West of these two buildings . Thus, the two buildings cannot be combined to create a single zoning � -3 . 0 Zoning Board of Appeals February 21, 1997 Page 5 "Lot" as defined in the Ordinance. However, for all practical purposes, the 1800 Building and the 100 Building are adjacent properties . They are not separated by a public right-of-way, nor by a developable Lot of Record. These facilities can never be physically separated by the future development of that portion of the American Stores flag lot abutting the two Blistex buildings . As Blistex has a License to use the private drive, it therefore has the right to occupy what can be considered a single unit consisting of contiguous properties . The result of this circumstance is that 1800 Building cannot yield a reasonable return, measured by its development potential were the bulk and off-street parking and loading requirements to be applied on a combined basis with the property under its common occupancy and control at 100 Windsor Drive . Blistex is not simply trying to over-develop the 1800 Building in excess of limitations contained in the Village Zoning Ordinance. The simultaneous petition for variations applicable to the 100 Building will preclude otherwise permissible development on that property. The end result is that, on a combined basis, the bulk and off-street parking and loading requirements contained in the Village Zoning Ordinance will be met or exceeded for these two properties . Even considered on a stand-alone basis, the proposed Floor Area Ratio for the 1800 Building is well within the increased bulk standards being considered for ORA1 districts as part of the Village' s Comprehensive Plan review. This is certainly a unique circumstance . A review of the Village Map of Zoning Districts reveals no other situation in a business or commercial district in which two Lots of Record cannot be combined to create a single zoning Lot because they are separated solely by a very narrow strip of private property. In other cases, lots are separated either by public rights of way or other developable Lots of Record. The situation is unique in that these two properties can never be physically segregated by future development or public traffic . The requested variations should be granted to approximate the effect of considering these properties to be a single zoning Lot . The variations, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the Windsor Park area, nor the neighboring Forest Glen residential subdivision. Except for some additional parking (which will comply with applicable yard requirements) , only interior development of the buildings is proposed. The exterior dimensions 4!5 PIZ/ 0 • Zoning Board of Appeals February 21, 1997 Page 6 and structure height of the buildings will remain unchanged. The use of the buildings will not change. From all outward appearances, these buildings will remain the same excellent facilities that Blistex has maintained since it built the 1800 Building in 1978 and took occupancy of the 100 Building in 1996 . We ask that the Zoning Board of Appeals consider favorably the requested variations . We look forward to the opportunity to answer any questions the Board may have, and to supplement the standards by which these variation requests are considered, at the Board' s meeting on April 1, 1997 .
