Lake Bluff Village Board
Advisory review period for
Stonebridge extended for 30 days
Stephanie Carlson
Freelance Reporter
Once again, the Lake
Bluff Village Board found
itself discussing the issue
of the Stonebridge Planned
Development at its regular
meeting on Monday, Feb.
10.
Currently, the permit for
the demolition of the manor
house is in an advisory
review period of 120 days.
During this period, the
Historical Preservation
Committee and the board
will discuss whether they
will be granting the permit.
Addressing a resolution
to extend the advisory
review an additional
30 days, the board was
approached by a couple
living in Lake Bluff near
Stonebridge Development.
Dennis Brebner and his
wife brought up their concerns
to the board, some of
them including the upkeep
of the manor house and the
board’s continued work
with the group.
“This has been going
on for a long time, and
now, you’re working with
them again. Why?” Brebner
asked. “You have this
agreement, this understanding
from them, they
promised to do this, and
they haven’t. Why keep
working with them?”
Village officials defended
working with the Roanoake
Group, stating that it would
be more beneficial to the
Village. If they were to take
away the current planned
residential development,
the agreement would go
back to its original state
zoning. This would remove
the agreement for the upkeep
of the manor house.
