"Developer on the Prowl"

Rumor has it.....the developer is approaching the businesses on the south side of Irving Park.

I would assume he has been approaching them for years but maybe now he is approaching them more strongly.

Neighbors split over six-story development

Thank you

We want to thank Alderman Schulter for a successful Community Meeting last night.

The proposed zoning change was voted down last night, not necessarily the proposed project.

It is most important that the community be informed and participate, than anything else.

We want say "thank you" to the Pilgrim Lutheran Church and their pastor - for hosting the meeting.

We want to thank the developer, his attorney and his architects for taking the time to present their proposed project. "Thank You"

But most of all we want to THANK the community for getting involved and for showing concern for their neighborhood.

Changes to the proposed development

A neighbor of ours called the Alderman's office today and this is what our neighbor found out:

" I just called and spoke to Beth in the Alderman's office who said Jim Jaeger is attending the meeting Tuesday night with new proposal changes and she BELIEVES it won't be a voting meeting because of that.

Here is what Beth said regarding the proposed project: Proposal is for 66 units, 6 floors with the penthouse being the top, 7600 sq. feet of commercial space and 2 affordable housing units in the building. Also, 20 public parking spaces and 110 residential parking spaces.

Beth said YOU MUST attend with correct id to vote when it happens. Emails or phone calls or letters will not cut it because Dan Luna checks id from voters."
