The issue of the controversial third phase of the McKinley Road development in Lake Forest is heading back to the City Council following a key action by the city’s Historic Preservation Commission.
The developer’s attorneys filed an appeal of that ruling on Nov. 28, setting the stage for a City Council decision at its Dec. 5 meeting.It was the latest in a long-running dispute regarding the property on land that is just east of the city’s downtown.
On Nov. 9, the Plan Commission voted unanimously approving an amendment to the previously approved special use permit for the revised plan leading into the HPC vote. “I want to work with the petitioner to get it right, and it isn’t right yet,” HPC Commissioner Jan Gibson said. Lake Forest Library Board President John Johnson testified to the HPC the library board wanted to see further review of the new plan before a vote, and expressed disappointment about a loss of potential additional parking spaces for the library and some fencing removed.
“The petitioner respectfully requests the City Council overturn the HPC’s decision because the standards applicable to the petition were met, because the HPC issues no written findings otherwise, and because doing so promotes the overall public welfare of the city,” the appeal reads.In a separate interview, O’Donnell said the developers were “disappointed, but not surprised” about the HPC ruling.
