AN ORDINANCE
Granting the Appeal of Harry Omartian 1 ,51 5
for a Variation from the Use Regula-
tions of the Evanston Zoning Ordinance,
Adopted November 21, 1960.
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing
on August 18, 1970 on the appeal of Harry Omartian for a varia-
tion from the use regulations of the Zoning Ordinance to permit
the retention of a third dwelling unit in the basement of the
property located at 1628 Washington Street, which use is not
permitted in the R3 Two Family Residence District wherein this
property is located; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals has recommended
denial of said appeal; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the evidence
adduced at said hearing and is of the opinion that said varia-
tion should be granted on certain conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the granting
of the variation will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood in which the property is located since the base-
ment unit has been in existence and in use since the date of
ownership of the property by the appellant, Harry Omartian,
and will be used solely and exclusively by Mr. Omartian; and
WHEREAS, there are difficulties and particular hardship
justifying the variation by reason of the fact that Mr. Omartian

resided in the building in which the use is located on and off

of the owner is due to his advanced age and physical condition;

quate supply of light and air to the adjacent properties and
