Zoning Change Petition Denied Amid Buffer Plan Debate
A Wilmette zoning commission denied the petition by the Greater Wilmette Association for buffer zone apartments after hearings at Byron Strip School on March 17. The village board adopted the recommendation, citing no need for more apartments or busi ness area expansion and weighing impacts on code, paving, sewers, water, and taxes. The report also notes a Bahai temple building permit renewal and a 1000 foot fire hose purchase, while advising no action on railroad fare adjustments due to ongoing right of way relocation talks. An adjourned meeting is set for next Tuesday night.
