Judge Affirms decision

Ruling for Wendy Clark Stands

Yesterday,  Judge Hay upheld his January decision that voided the City's approvals  for the proposed Parker resort.  The judge granted requests by the City  of Galena and the property owner, David Hooten of Wheaton, IL, to allow  for the land to remain annexed into the City.  But he denied their  central request -- to reinstate the City's approvals of the resort and  the re-zoning of the property from agricultural to commercial.

  

We  can share more information if necessary once Wendy Clark and her  attorney have had a chance to review the decision more thoroughly. But  as of now, it is important to note that the City Council has spent over  $140,000 in attorney fees to fight Wendy Clark in court -- and lose.   For many of you, that is especially painful, as you have given  generously to support the lawsuit in addition to seeing your tax dollars  wasted.

  

We  now wait to see what the City and Mr. Hooten do next.  Either one or  both can decide to appeal the decision to a higher court.  Mr. Hooten  and his architect, Mr. Baranski, can decide to start the process all  over again by resubmitting an application for the Parker to the Zoning  Board.  Or they can stop this ill-conceived proposal and stop wasting  everybody's time and money.

  

Thank  you for all you have done to make this victory possible and for working  to make Galena's  government more responsive. Please continue to let  Council members and the Mayor know how you feel about this entire  debacle!
