RESOLUTION NO. 2006 - 9
A RESOLUTION OBJECTING TO THE GRANTING OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A
CONTRACTOR'S EQUIPMENT STORAGE YARD AT
21761 WEILAND ROAD, PRAIRIE VIEW, ILLINOIS
WHEREAS, LaSalle Bank National Association Trust has petitioned to the Lake
County for approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the property at 21761 Weiland Road,
Prairie View; and,
WHEREAS, LaSalle Bank National Association Trust's petition requests a
change in land use from vacant to contractor's equipment storage yard on a site of 1.45
acres; and,
WHEREAS, LaSalle Bank National Association Trust's petition is consistent with
the Lake County's General Development Standards, it lacks specific details about the size
and type of storage equipment proposed by the petitioner; and,
WHEREAS, in May 2005, the Village of Buffalo Grove and the Village of
Lincolnshire recognized the Aptakisic rail corridor to be a significant redevelopment
district and aligned boundaries, land use, and municipal zoning districts in a
comprehensive land use and boundary agreement in which the proposal is not
compatible; and
WHEREAS, all of the municipally zoned uses within the Aptakisic rail corridor
lying within the Village of Buffalo Grove and the Village of Lincolnshire include
permanent structures and appropriate screening, landscaping and setbacks; and
WHEREAS, the proposed use compromises the abilities of Lincolnshire and
Buffalo Grove to redevelop the Aptakisic Rail corridor by reducing the land investment
and land assessment upon which all taxing districts rely; and
WHEREAS, the proposed use increases the risks of unwanted land pollution
from operations conducted upon the open land exposed to the elements; and
WHEREAS, the proposed use is not compatible with the character of the
surrounding properties, specifically the Buffalo Grove residential properties to the west
and the industrial properties to the south;
WHEREAS, the application lacks evidence that the desired land use will not
result in any adverse impact on the neighboring properties, specifically the residential
subdivisions to the west of the property; and,

1. That the foregoing Whereas clauses are hereby incorporated herein.
2. The Village of Buffalo Grove objects to the granting of the Conditional Use
Permit as requested by LaSalle Bank National Association Trust's petition,
and the Village urges the Lake County to deny said petition.
