Kenilworth Residents Fight Detatched Garages Along Skokie Creek
Kenilworth property owners petition the Zoning Board to enforce the building ordinance requiring detached garages to be built near the rear line along Roger Avenue between Brier Street and Ridge Road. They argue staggered garages on opposite creek sides will mar the landscape and lower values and urge revocation of any special privileges granted by the building commissioner. Construction is paused while the petition is considered.
