YOUTH Plan Commissioner James Button stated that with mixed feelings
CENTER the Plan Commission, by a 3 to 2 vote, recommends the property
located along Lake-Cook Road at Raupp Boulevard, contiguous to the
Municipal Building, be re-zoned from R-1 to R-8 with the understanding that the
special use authorization be granted with the intention that it be used for a
Youth Center. He said the Commission felt it was incumbent upon them to rule
on the zoning and not on the purpose. He said the two Commissioners casting
negative votes did so because they felt the Commission should express that
they did not feel a youth center was the best use for the property. Concerns
expressed were concept, parking, and youth having to cross Lake-Cook Road.
It was noted that the Z.B.A. reluctantly recommends approval of
the special use for the purpose of construction of a Youth Center.
President Fabish stated that in considering property presently
owned by the Village, the subject property is the best and most economical
because it will require little site preparation.
Several residents expressed the following concerns:
1 . No sidewalk from the bridge on Raupp Boulevard to Village
Hall . President Fabish stated a sidewalk in front of Village Hall will be
installed this year, and when the property to the southeast is developed, a
sidewalk will be required.
2. What is more than 40youth (capacityof building) attend?
9
Trustee Mendenhall stated that if the program is successful , the building will
be expanded.
3. Why is a Youth Center vital to the community when the schools
and park district already offer programs? Mr. Mayfield, Chairman of the Youth
Commission, stated there is a difference because this program will be run by
youth with a professional person for guidance, and the school and park activities
are actually run by adults.
4. Will tax money be needed to support the center? President
`./ Fabish stated that the Village has committed $23,000 for the building only.
Trustee Bogart stated the Commission will apply for federal and state grants.
He then noted other contributions of money, material , equipment, and labor.
5. If the building is to be constructed by volunteers, will there
be a problem with the labor unions? President Fabish stated that he is a member
of a labor union and knew that there would be no problem. Mr. Mayfield stated
that trade unions have been asked for volunteers.
