Description
The city of Elmhurst here appeals from a judgment of the circuit court of Du Page County holding the city zoning ordinance,
as amended, unconstitutional and void in its application to a parcel of land owned by Chicago Title and Trust Company, as
trustee, and for which S.H. Krom, who is an appellee here along with the company, has entered into a contract of purchase. The disputed property, consisting of 3.35 acres, is located very near the southern limit of the city. It is bounded on the
south by Butterfield Road for a distance of 275.5 feet, on the southeast for 259 feet by a triangular lot improved with a
gasoline station, on the east by York Street for 273 feet, on the north by Van Buren Street for 246 feet, and on the west
by Kendall Avenue for a distance of 551 feet. Plats in the record show that appellees' tract and the triangular lot from
which the gasoline station is operated consists of an entire block lying within the boundaries of the streets named. The block
is vacant except for the gasoline station and it was the opinion of a witness that the vacant portion owned by appellees could
be divided into 18 or 20 residence lots. Butterfield Road is a heavily traveled east-west traffic artery which connects the
city of Chicago with the Fox River valley and over which passes Illinois Route 56. York Street, which is improved with a two-lane
blacktop road in the area, is the main north-south street bisecting the city of Elmhurst and connects with the main business
district some two and a half miles to the north. The intersection of Butterfield and York is a busy one and traffic is controlled
by four-way stop signs. Kendall Avenue is but a block long and, like Van Buren Street, has no improved road where it adjoins
appellees' land.
