Parklake Village order upheld in county court dispute
Grundy County Associate Circuit Court Judge Robert Wren denied Parklake Village's bid to dismiss the order on the development plot while refusing to grant an injunction blocking deeds and new building permits. The five year suit involves Morris Community High School Districts 101 and 54 and Saratoga District 600 against Parklake Village over plat validity and related approvals. The decision notes the plot's validity could be restored if the city enacts an approving ordinance, and affirms the schools' right to a court determination on proper approval or exemption.
