The Village Board on July 21 approved outdoor activity permits for two upcoming events: a ribbon cutting and grand opening for Slottie's Lounge (607 South Addison Road) on July 25, and a larger car‑show/event at K1 Speed (2381 West Army Trail Road) on July 27.

Both events were reviewed by Community Development and public‑safety staff; the approvals included conditions intended to address parking, safety and operations.

Community Development staff described Slottie's event as a grand‑opening and ribbon cutting to be held July 25 from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. with a 10-by-12-foot pop‑up tent at the entrance for overflow seating, interior food and drinks, and no alcohol served outside. Staff estimated 50 to 100 guests arriving over the evening and said the site has adequate parking. The board approved issuance of an outdoor activity permit subject to inspections and standard permitting requirements.

K1 Speed sought an event for July 27 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Staff described three large vendor tents on the front parking lot, event sponsors, food and alcohol served inside the building, and an anticipated 300 guests. K1 Speed obtained written permission from neighboring property owners for overflow parking at Pampered Chef and KYB, and the event will employ 12–15 volunteer attendants plus three off‑duty police officers for traffic and security. General Manager Tom Kompaskey said the organizers want to “completely eliminate” street‑takeover risks by coordinating closely with the Addison Police Department and using off‑duty officers and event volunteers.

Community Development said permits will be issued subject to inspections of tent setups and site conditions; staff and the police department will continue coordination to manage traffic flow and public safety during the events.

Both permit requests were approved by the board; specific enforcement and inspection steps will be handled administratively by Community Development and the Police Department before the events.
