Council Approves Two Apartments in Village Meeting
The village council approved a 12 unit building at 1130 Dunlop Avenue and a 35 unit structure at 1128 Des Plaines after prior zoning denials were revised. Commissioner Lambke opposed Dunlop, arguing larger complexes threaten single family neighborhoods. Mayor Mohr accused him of politicking. A pay raise for village employees, likely near 5.5 percent, was scheduled subject to federal approval. A playground improvement bid and traffic safety concerns at Circle Franklin were also discussed. Viola Gitzel, long a library developer, was remembered.
