Meeting Today
E mail Alert Received Wed.
From The Rogers Park Conservancy
We're all set for tomorrow. I spoke with Madeleine Doering, the Economic Development Coordinator at the Deparment of Planning, who chairs the hearing and she confirmed that the Loyola proposal is still on the agenda for tomorrow. She said the hearings last anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours, with tomorrow's hearing probably lasting on the long side.
We are last on the agenda and we will get 3 minutes each to speak. A form is filled out when we get there and can be filled out even after the hearing has started as long as it's in before the item comes up on the agenda. She asked that we not have numerous individuals making the same point otherwise the Board begins to dismiss what is being said. The decision is made at the hearing so we'll know before we leave.
At the end of my statement I will ask that the Commission reject the proposal based on it's conflict with the LPO and it's location, not it's structure, and suggest that Loyola resubmit the proposal utilizing alocation off the lakefront and the Jesuit Lawn. Each of us who will be speaking should end our statements with the same request based on the item in the LPO that we're each addressing. Please make sure that your statement is typed as it will be spoken and have a copy so that it can be submitted to the Board.
I will be at the Loyola "L" stop at noon tomorrow to meet the Loyola students there and accompany them downtown. We can go over our statements during the 1/2 hour ride. Anyone else who is going can meet up with us there or simply meet us downtown at City Hall.
Donald Gordon
Executive Director,
