Description
Clarence and Estelle Regner brought suit in the circuit court of McHenry County, praying for an injunction to restrain the
county and its zoning enforcing officer from enforcing a zoning ordinance against their property. The court upheld the validity
of the ordinance, and dismissed the complaint for want of equity. Plaintiffs appeal directly to this court on the ground that
a constitutional question is involved. As a nonconforming use, the plaintiffs presently operate a fishing resort, where boats are leased to fishermen in a residential
area on the east shore of Pistakee Bay. The bay is a part of Pistakee Lake, which lies to the north of it. The lake, in turn,
is part of a general resort area in northeastern Illinois commonly known as the "Chain-O-Lakes Region." In 1951 plaintiffs
purchased a tract of land, about eleven acres in extent, fronting on the south side of a well-traveled county road a short
way off the southern end of the bay. Part of the property abuts on a channel which flows from the bay under a bridge on the
county road, and into a pond or lake known as Mud Lake. Plaintiffs desire to transfer their business to the new location,
which apparently is well known as a good fishing spot. In addition to renting rowboats for fishing purposes, they wish to
provide accommodations for serving meals and soft drinks to their customers.
