¶5*683 PER CURIAM.

¶6Upon review of the record, we hold that the trial court impermissibly varied the terms of the parties' lease[1] when it ruled that the proposed construction by appellees of two restaurants in the mall parking area was reasonable and did not materially diminish parking available to appellant. See Walgreen Co. v. American National Bank & Trust Co.,4 Ill. App.3d 549, 281 N.E.2d 462 (1972); Food Fair Stores, Inc. v. Jackson Heights Shopping Center, Inc.,55 Misc.2d 205, 284 N.Y.S.2d 814, aff'd,28 A.D.2d 1207, 285 N.Y.S.2d 1009 (1967), appeal denied,21 N.Y.2d 645, 236 N.E.2d 863, 289 N.Y.S.2d 1026 (1968); Camichos v. Diana Stores Corp.,157 Fla. 349, 25 So.2d 864 (1946). We therefore reverse the Final Declaratory Decree and Order for Temporary Injunction and the Supplementary Order Approving Plans of the Defendants and direct the trial court to enjoin the proposed construction. See Madigan Brothers, Inc. v. Melrose Shopping Center Co.,123 Ill. App.3d 851, 79 Ill.Dec. 270, 463 N.E.2d 824 (1984).

¶7Reversed and remanded with directions consistent with this opinion.

NOTES

¶8[1] Paragraph 11 of the amendment to the parties' lease expressly provides that appellees "shall not construct any other buildings or improvements in the Shopping Center which would in any way affect the access or visibility of the demised premises and the signs on the fascade [sic] of said demised premises...."
