Lannon board sets public‑hearing process to adopt Downtown Vision Plan; motion passes 4–3
Summary
The board instructed the clerk to begin a public hearing process to amend Ordinance 78‑123 and adopt a Downtown Vision Plan prepared by Parkitecture+Planning; the motion passed 4–3 with Trustees Battist, Willard and Sommers opposed.
The Village Board voted to begin the formal public‑hearing process to adopt a Downtown Vision Plan and Development Guidelines prepared by Parkitecture+Planning, LLC, which would be added to the village code by amending Ordinance 78‑123.
Attorney de la Mora and Engineer Ben Wood summarized the plan, which has been circulated over the past year and was recommended for approval by the Plan Commission. Trustees Grennier and Lake moved to instruct the clerk to start the public‑hearing process required to adopt the plan into the code; the motion carried by a 4–3 vote. Trustees Battist, Willard and Sommers voted no.
Because the adoption requires a public hearing and ordinance amendment, the board’s vote only advances the administrative process: the clerk was directed to schedule the required hearing and notice. Opponents on the board did not elaborate in the minutes on their reasons for dissent; the record identifies the three no votes but does not include further comment from those trustees in the minutes provided.
If the plan proceeds after the required public hearing, the board would return to consider adoption of the ordinance amendment.
