Resident questions need for another Dunkin' Donuts in Homer Glen during public comment
Summary
During public comment Mike McGee asked why the village is considering rezoning for a freestanding Dunkin' Donuts when three locations already serve the area, noting proximity and hours of operation as concerns.
A Homer Glen resident used the regular public comment period during the July 8 board meeting to question a pending rezoning/special-use request related to a freestanding Dunkin' Donuts.
Mike McGee, who gave his address as 13601 Longview Drive, told trustees there are already three Dunkin' locations that "triangulate" the village and that the new proposed store would be roughly 1 to 1.3 miles from existing outlets. McGee said he was concerned about market saturation and the justification for another location, noting the application requests a special-use allowance in part for atypical operating hours.
Trustees thanked McGee for his remarks; the rezoning item was discussed later in the agenda under the final plat/ordinance items. The board did not take final action on the public comment itself; the speakers concerns were entered into the meeting record.
