Project hasn't been discussed in public since December 2010.
Information about a proposed, six-story development on Addison Avenue soon will be made public, Acting Mayor Scott Levin announced at Tuesday's Elmhurst City Council meeting. Elmhurst resident Tamara Brenner said during public comment she was surprised the topic was not on this week's agenda, since Levin had indicated at an earlier meeting that it would be. She said all business related to the Addison Avenue project to date has been conducted in closed session. "There has been no public discussion since December 2010, when we heard a six-story building was an option for Addison Street," she said. First Ward Aldermen Diane Gutenkauf sent out a press release last month stating she voted against a contract extension between the city and …

It appears the developer doesn't have all of the paperwork in order yet.
The Zoning and Planning Commission public hearing scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 24, was rescheduled, according to a press release distributed at 12:54 p.m. Thursday by the city of Elmhurst. The meeting is being rescheduled for Feb. 28. The hearing was originally scheduled to hear a request from Arco Murray/Addison Corridor LLC, which is seeking a conditional use permit to build a six story building (68 feet high) at 135-149 N. Addison St. Current zoning only allows for four stories (45 feet high). The hearing was canceled due to the fact that an application for associated setback variations has not yet been received and has not yet been publicized in the local media. The hearing, referenced as Case #13P-01, will be re-publicized …

Aldermen and neighbors get the word out about what could be a precedent-setting decision.
UPDATE: THIS MEETING HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED. A controversial building request is coming before the Elmhurst Zoning and Planning Commission for a hearing at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 24. Arco Murray/Addison Corridor LLC is asking the city for permission to build a six-story structure at 135-149 N. Addison St. that will house retail and office space, as well as parking. Part of the controversy lies in the fact that the city's zoning code only permits four-story structures in the downtown area, and many, including some aldermen, believe six stories would be an eyesore and set a precedent for other buildings downtown. Residents on nearby Larch Avenue are sending out emails and posting notices on doors encouraging as many people to show up at the…
