Village Loses Zoning Case To Tammona
Judge Elmer J. Schnackenberg ruled on June 23 in favor of Jim Tammona against the Village of Brookfield, ending three years of zoning dispute. Tammona sought a permit to build a four room home on a 25 by 125 foot lot at Forest and Rochester, arguing previous laws and his good faith purchase should allow the project. The village contends the site does not conform to current zoning. Village officials said the decision may be appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court.
