HOMEOWNER FORUM – PUBLIC COMMENT
West Shoreland Resident Ralph Dillon addressed the WSPC Board and members present regarding his concerns about the possible development of a truck stop on the vacant property on the corner of Midlothian Road and 60/83, across from the Graham gas station. Please note that these are Mr. Dillon’s personal opinions and they do not represent the opinion or stance of the WSPC board.
Mr. Dillon expressed his concern regarding the possibility of the above mentioned land being developed into a 3.6 acre convenience store and restaurant. Mr. Dillon stated that a large development could have a negative impact for residents and home values in West Shoreland and West Shore Park. His concerns include poor air quality as a result from more cars and large trucks parking and idling nearby, polluted water run-off from the extra traffic contaminating the nearby streams and running into Diamond Lake, and the increase in traffic and large truck congestion.
Mr. Dillon requested that residents of West Shore Park look into the possibility of this development and bring their concerns to the Village of Mundelein.
CORRESPONDENCE
Block 2 Shoreline Project
Chris Cutro and John Lohrmann addressed their concern regarding the erosion of the waterfront north of the block 2 beach. They presented possible solutions to improving the common area and preventing further erosion. Currently it is not in the budget for a large Block 2 shoreline restoration project. Mr. Curto and Mr. Lohrmann will solicit bids and gather quotes for different repair options and will put together a proposal to present to the WSPC board for future consideration.
ComEd Poles
Several old utility poles have been left in place after new utility poles have been installed. At least two old utility poles are rotting and some have pieces of wire still attached.
