Items Pulled
from Omnibus
N. Corporation Counsel Citron recommended that the
Boards comments be limited because the lawsuit with the park district is still
pending.
Steve Klein of
90 S. Old Creek Road presented the Land Use Plan from 1973 where a parking lot
is not shown. Warrington Road would have been designed like Cherokee if this
parking lot were planned. There is no adequate access road therefore the Board
can deny the special permit. Mr. Klein presented ordinances, which prove the
park district needs a special use that the Board has the right to deny.

The park district does not represent the Village and its residents. He stated
