AN ORDINANCE
Granting the Appeal of Alan Saks for a
Variation from the Front Yard Obstruction
Regulations of the Evanston Zoning Ordi-
nance, Adopted November 21, 1960.
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing
on November 199 1968 on the appeal of Alan Saks for a variation
from the front yard obstruction regulations of the zoning ordi-
nance to permit the construction of a fence in the required
front yard area which is not permitted in the R1 Single 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 variation 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 proposed
fence will allow the continued use of a front yard which will be
surrounded by greenery and will conform with the pattern of the
area; and
WHEREAS, the granting of the variation will be beneficial
to the public welfare in providing a beautification program for
the area; and

• WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the plight
of the owner is due to the unique circumstances in that the width
of the property at the street is 100.15 feet, that the set back
of the residence from Sheridan Road is 94 feet from the front lot
line and approximately 112 feet from Sheridan Road, and that said
property, with this wide expanse of front lot area, is located in
an R1 Single Family Residence District; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the proposed
variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property in that said proposed improvement will provide
for an open space of 10 or 12 feet on each side and will not come
within 16 feet of either neighbor's house, and in addition, will
not increase or endanger the public safety.
