My office has been receiving many calls regarding the public hearing on the property on Route 60 west of our office across from the Mac Dealership. It is my understanding the petitioner is requesting a continuance to a later date.



Per the county rules, the ZBA is required at this late date to open the hearing on the 19th but will do so only to continue the hearing to a later date and will not hear the case on the 19th.

You will still be allowed to make public comment if you wish. or you can wait to do so at the continued hearing date once that is set.

PUBLIC ATTENDANCE: There are two options for the public to attend this hearing: (1) In-person attendance on the 2nd floor Central Permit Facility, 500 W. Winchester Road, Libertyville, Illinois or (2) Remote/virtual attendance by registering using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ihk3gImJSsygiir61MuA1Q#/registration.
