Berkshire Condominium Association Petition to the Dupage Zoning Board of Appeals
Final supporters
We the undersigned, being residents of the Berkshire Condominium Association, express our opposition to the variance request in Zoning Petition Z19-035 Hur. We ask that the DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals deny this request until the petitioner has met with representatives of our Association to discuss an alternative plan that we have created that will be more acceptable to and address the many concerns of our homeowners that are directly impacted by the planned urban development of 10 homes immediately adjacent to our property line.

I agree with my fellow Berkshire owners. The zoning variance should be denied. Also, no building should be allowed on the site until an Environmental Impact Study is completed on the property. The impact on drainage and wildlife have been raised as potential issues that need to be addressed, and other concerns may be identified with an Environmental Impact Study.
I am concerned of the use of our streets to gain access to the development. The wear and tear will be at our expense. Unless we put a key-card at every street belonging to the Berkshire, we know the new residents will use OUR streets! The increased traffic is also a concern as the safety of our little complex will be compromised. If my vote counts, I vote definitely NO to this proposal.
Why is this property address listed as 1S560 Luther Ave. Lombard, IL 60148? Seems rather strange when the surrounding property is all Oakbrook Terrace 60181. Essex, Oxford and west side of Luther are not Lombard. When a similar request was made several years ago and approval was denied, wasn’t the property part of Oakbrook Terrace?
Concerns: increased traffic on Luther, construction trucks and equipment on Luther, danger to children at park on Luther, type of architecture for houses. 10 homes - too many for that property. Constant noise from construction. Elimination of trees.
Has the 5 foot proximity been vetted with the local fire department to determine if this creates a more hazardous fire safety environment?
I have commented before and want to add another concern of mine. My property backs to the proposed access road. Our bedroom is on the first floor approximately 12 feet from the fence . This seems like a huge safety issue to me. If a car loses control from the access road and comes through the fence it can do major damage to our homes or worse yet our cause injury to us and our pets. My grandchildren play out there all the time. I also feel our home value would decrease significantly. Who would want to buy a home with a road 12 feet from their bedroom, kitchen or family room?
The plan is just too dense and as such, significant and likely unplanned for, environmental impact will result.

Not opposed to the condominiums, but opposed to the access road for the garages proposed to be built. This road will be adjacent to my bedroom window. Suggest that garages be built on front.
