Resident reports majority support for annexing 10 McGregor Drive homes; Council to hold town hall
Summary
A resident said most households on the 8900 block of McGregor Drive favor annexation into the Village; Council discussed concerns over ordinance scope and instructed staff to explore County requirements and host a town hall to answer residents' questions.
Resident Lou Simchowitz updated the Council on ongoing annexation interest for 10 homes on the 8900 block of McGregor Drive, reporting a majority of households support joining the Village.
Concerns raised by residents centered on how Village ordinances and regulations would apply to annexed properties; the Council noted that Village ordinances largely mirror County rules. Mr. Simchowitz suggested organizing a town hall with McGregor Drive residents, available Council members and Village management to address questions. Village Manager Dana Peterson said she had contacted the County to determine whether any County‑side requirements would necessitate a formal petition or referendum.
The Council did not take formal action on annexation at the April 21 meeting; next steps include scheduling a town hall and clarifying County procedures.
