Not sure I understand that last post. Anyway maybe a nice new business out there buys the lot and puts their name on it. “Parking provided by ______”. (Dunkin Donuts, Panera Bread, Noodles and Company, Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, Burger King, Wendys etc…)

This is not good for the business or the residents of Elburn. If buying the lot is off the table then we should move on to plan B and try to lease it.
————————-
Please consider plan D for plan A wasn’t appropriate for Elburn tax payers to flip to bill for local business ventures.Now plan B isn’t an option either for why should Elburn tax payer’s flip the bill for personal ventures established without considering the parking for local liquor establishments,etc. Those(we should move on to plan B and try to lease it)should either buy it yourself and lease it out to the other business ,but I’m sure that won’t work financially for you so why not get your hand out of the till.
Now comes to plan D Work with the city to beautify the First st.city owned parking lot that is 50% larger than the church lot and would make our whole heart of Elburn a nicer place for ALL residents of Elburn.Then too its about on the edge of the new rout for out forest preserve that was recently finished Maybe Kane county would help out with a grant to make First Street lot up to safety standards for public use. Seems that work has already started on the First Street lot.Lets not leave it decay.

I am amazed that a simple license agreement could not be reached between the city and Church. If the city would agree to pay a small amount per month or at the least the cost of the INS coverage for the parking lot I am sure the church would have agreed. This is not good for the business or the residents of Elburn. If buying the lot is off the table then we should move on to plan B and try to lease it.
