Richton Park to rule on auto care center plans
Planning commission will review new plans Tuesday and may approve the alteration to the Peters auto care center proposal. Trustees expect quick action to avoid delaying Peters and harming his 25 year old business. Peters wants Howard's Auto Care Center to keep its Richton Park name and argued overnight parking should not be restricted to nine vehicles. Reeves criticized the rule as overly complex but trustees say it prevents junk cars and congestion while allowing up to 15 spaces for overnight parking if needed. The restriction was lifted.
