Dear Sir/Madam:
 
In accordance with the Amendment to the Zoning Code enacted by the City Council, Section 17-13-0107-A of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance please be advised that on or about December 4, 20121, the undersigned, will file an application for a change in zoning, for the property located at 2920 South Lowe Avenue from RS-3 Residential Single Unit (Detached House) District to RT-3.5 Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District.
 
The applicant and owner of the subject property are Zhang Huan Liu and Yong Na Lei with an address at 2920 South Lowe Avenue, Chicago, IL 60616.
 
The purpose of the rezoning is to allow the subdivision of a 50x124 zoning lot into two 25x124 zoning lots. The existing single family residence at 2920 South Lowe will remain. The property at 2922 South Lowe will remain RS-3 for a proposed single family residence.
 
I am the duly authorized attorney for the applicant and owner. My address is 70 West Madison, Suite 4500, Chicago, Illinois 60602. My number is (312) 345-5739.

Dear Committee Members:
 
I am the Executor of the Estate of Lavergne Wilson, the title holder to the property located at 2922 South Lowe. The estate would like to sell 2922 South Lowe but the lot is not a separate zoning lot from 2920 South Lowe. Due to the size of the existing home at 2920 South Lowe, separating the property into two zoning lots would create a non conforming use for 2920 South Lowe. In an effort to assist the estate, the owners of 2920 South Lowe have applied for a zoning amendment application to change the zoning of 2920 South Lowe from RS-3 to RT'J.S" R-Â¥=5. This zoning change would fully legalize the existing house at 2920 South Lowe and each individual lot would become a separate zoning lot.
