They will if the numbers are there. From the audience, Mr. Tom Kramer of 1556 Yew Court, said that this report shows nothing about traffic. The Village Administrator answered that a traffic study depends upon the particular site selected. He added that traffic is indeed an important issue. He said that people of the community of Gurnee want a revenue generator.
People are concerned about traffic and the quality of life.
In fact, he said, he was disappointed at the revenue to be supposedly generated. From the audience, Mr. Harry Koehler, of 137 Knobb Hill, said that one thing he had not heard about is what would be the cost to the Village to support such a proposed conference center in reference to police protection, fire protection and by the department of public works. There were no other comments by the public or the Village Board. The Village Administrator explained the proposed annexation and rezoning of the Brown property. Rocheleau moved, seconded by Ratfelders, to approve Village Ordinance No. 96-68, which annexes the Brown property to the Village of Gurnee, as recommended by the Plan Commission, and to publish in pamphlet form.
