BB Creek residents have voiced their complaints about Shodeen linking into the water/sewer system as well. You be be certain that there are several self serving aspects to this project.

It really bothers me that all of these Villages the County & School Board fought so hard to get the impact fee’s up to a near suitable level only to back pedal now, especially on a 10-15 year project!

One thing certain,
Elburn is on the Developers Maps,
As long as they continue roll out the Red Carpet, hand them the deed to the village & let the resident taxes cover any downfalls that may occur later we will only see more of the same.

Hastert agreed that if all municipalities weren’t party to it, the agreement was imperfect.

Ya know that is an old saying and I quote>>

“No form of government can ever succeed, as long as greed exists” Gandhi

Is it possible that there are self serving interests among our trusted servants? One thing is sure that the people of Elburn DO NOT WANT MORE DEVELOPMANT !! Yet some of our trusted servants seems to ignore that fact.

Kind of like the need for the city to buy the church parking lot when there is more than enough parking with in a 300/500 foot proximity of the local establishments.

“We need to protect our existing residents,” Anderson said.

To tell you the truth let Elburn Station development. Sho-Deen representative Dave Patzelt go back to the rat pack with a fee of $12,000.00 per unit or build Elburn a new school with the project. If they don’t like it tell them to go pound sand and try to build somewhere else and let Kane County take the land that is required for the Anderson road overpass by eminent domain.Sure it may cost Elburn money,but a lot less if Sho-Deen get its way. Dang Get Sho-Deen to work of finishing the South side of Keslinger road. You know that Blackberry thing that was worked out into bankruptcy.
Then too the infrastructure of our waste water can’t handle what Sho-Deen wants and who’s going to flip the bill…Yes you Elburn Tax Payer’s will prolly add another 10 to 20% onto your city bills.
Most people in Elburn DON’T WANT Sho-Deen’s Greed drive project to upset our fragile town so Sho-Deen Go somewhere else and will let the county deal with the Anderson Road extension that we were promised 6 years ago.The rail road extension came in $43,000,000.00 under budget,but also out people/bike over pass for people to get to the train station and Anderson Road was in that budget if I remember. The concret pier’s for a 6 lane road were in place buy the coach yard for metra. Google mape it and you’ll see them
Sho-Deen… the eminent domain senerio is one option. My feeling our just that.

You CAN blame the school district. Giving up an inch on fee’s was a huge mistake.
Nearly EVERY year they come holding out their hands for MORE & More & More. Then they threaten to make the children suffer by making cuts.

Well remember Kaneland, You gave away impact fee’s, put your hands back in your pockets! Is that a lint ball? GOOD, that is whats in my pocket as well.
