EY prem -- F | April 2, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 47 FILLING STATION OR PARK IS NEW PROBLEM Winnetka Seeks to Iron Out Dif- ficulty Over Use for Brad- street Triangle Plot The course of Center street, the new highway through Winnetka, to make the desired junction with Church road, required a valuable section of vacant land lying east of Church road, owned by P. W. Bradstreet. After disposing of the necessary land to provide for the surveyed course of the new road, he had left a triangularly shaped piece which subsequent development has demonstrated is not suitable for fur- ther improvement as residential prop- erty, beyond what has already been done, namely the building of two resi- dences. North of the two white colonial resi- dences .is a triangular shaped piece, embracing about 12,000 square feet, having a frontage of 265.07 feet on Center street, and 227.63 feet on Church road, with the south base only 97.51 feet in width. Mr. Bradstreet now finds, although this fact was overlooked, he says, at the time he was making his settlement with the Village for the right of way over his original holdings here, that what he has left is not of sufficient width to develop as residential proper- ty, according to the building ordin- ances, and therefore, he petitioned the Village some time ago to have the piece rezoned from Class "A" residen- tial to Class "C" commercial. Tt is considered an excellent location for a gas filling station, and Mr. Bradstreet's plan is, in the event the desired change is made, to improve the corner with an artistic station surrounded by grounds scientifically landscaped. It appears that the mere mention of making a filling station at this corner brought forth much opposition, and when the matter came up for hearing at the Village council chamber Mon- day evening, the room was packed. Some were of the opinion that in as much as the piece of ground is not of proper shape to develop as a residen- tial section in accordance with the present building ordinance, that it should be made into a park. Among those holding this idea were some who expressed their willingness to be as- sessed fairly for such a purpose. Many present were of the opinion that it is a condition for which Mr. Bradstreet is not to blame and appre- ciate his position that the tract is one of too great value for one individual to sacrifice as a public benefit.
