VAGA meeting, regarding a Lake Bluff suit which involves
77 apartment units on 7 acres of land; there was an attempt
by Lake Bluff to review these plans with the County and they
were refused because it was not considered a subdivision;
therefore, the developers avoided Lake Bluff subdivision
ordinance and school and park donation ordinances. It was

very narrow interpretation of the subdivision, and, therefore,
to preclude municipalities from any review process of
unincorporated land. Lake Bluff would like a resolution to
support, in principle, the fight that they are encountering.
