Since the parking lot is used by the entire complex, it is the feeling of the Village Board and staff that the entire parking lot should be improved. Before the Village Board takes action on this request, the petitioner was requested to meet with staff and the other property owners involved with this PUD to consider the improvement of the entire parking lot. This case will be considered at the March 5th meeting of the Village BOard.
