THE LAKE FOREST LEADER
Village unanimously
adopts 3 ordinances to
implement RIO District
The Lake Bluff Village
Board unanimously approved
the second reading
of three ordinances necessary
to implement a Recreational,
Institutional and
Open (RIO) Space District
on Monday, Jan. 28.
The RIO District includes
more than 200
parcels — or about onesixth
of the Village’s
incorporated area.
Properties recommended
for rezoning are used
for purposes consistent
with the RIO District, such
as churches, libraries, public
agency buildings, museums,
recreational and
leisure facilities, schools
and open space.
Village Administrator
Drew Irvin noted the ordinances
date back to the
proposed classification in
the 1997 Comprehensive
Plan, which the Plan Commission
and Zoning Board
of Appeals (PCZBA) had
extensively reviewed since
January 2017.
The PCZBA also conducted
focused individual
parcel study and outreach
to affected agencies and
the public and held a public
hearing on Dec. 19.
“After a lot of work, the
PCZBA working through
this with all of the stakeholders
and all of the institutional
uses and groups
out there and finally putting
this together, that
approval seals the deal,”
Irvin said.
The critical piece of the
new regulations — among
the amendments to establish
the RIO District,
rezone properties into the
district and establish fees
for the development process
— is a new review
process called the RIO Development
Plan Review.
This process, according
to Irvin and the PCZBA,
addresses the unique challenge
of addressing already
developed sites that
range in size from less
than an acre to more than
100 acres.

THE GLENVIEW LANTERN
Short film details
remarkable recovery of
GBS teacher, coach
During the Glenbrook
District 225 Board of Education’s
meeting Monday,
Jan. 28, members watched
a short film showing the
heartwarming tale of Terry
Harris, a 43-year-old
special education teacher
and baseball and football
coach at GBS, whose
complete loss of hearing
in both ears was restored
through cochlear implants
at NorthShore Hospital.
The implant stimulates
the cochlear nerve, which
controls hearing. One part
of the small electronic
device is placed behind
the ear; the second part is
implanted in the inner ear,
connecting the auditory
nerve that sends sound
impulses to the brain.
As a child in Michigan,
Harris was totally deaf in
his left ear and had only
partial hearing in his right
ear. A hearing aid enabled
him to lead a relatively
normal life.
He starred in football
and baseball at Watervliet
High School and then
at Elmhurst College before
achieving his goal of
becoming a high school
teacher and coach.
On Oct. 25, 2014, Harris
lost all hearing in his right
ear, leaving him totally
deaf.
“Nobody’s ever said,
‘Terry, at some point, you
are going to be completely
deaf.’ Nobody’s ever said
that,” Harris says in a success-story
video produced
by NorthShore University
HealthSystem.

facility set to relocate to
Kenilworth
The Kenilworth Village
Board unanimously
approved a special use
permit for a new physical
fitness facility that will be
relocating to Kenilworth

by Body Science
Properties, LLC, plans to
relocate its Body Science
PFT facility from 355
Ridge Road in Wilmette to
642-644 Green Bay Road
in Kenilworth.
“What they would like
to do is merge the lots, demolish
the existing building
at 644 [Green Bay
Road], which had been a
bungalow, build an addition
onto what is now the
New Trier Credit Union
building and then open a
fitness studio in that enlarged
building,” Community
