Development News from the latest meeting
Village Board Regular Meeting - Media

Lucky Strike Rebranding Approved: PUD Amendment and Sign Variations Granted
The Village Board approved Ordinance 2026-71, which amends the planned unit development (PUD) and approves sign variations for Lucky Strike at 350 McHenry Road. The rebranding from Bolero Bowling Alley to Lucky Strike involves replacing three existing wall signs, refacing the monument sign, and painting the building. The proposed signs are smaller than existing ones and meet other code requirements. The PZC unanimously recommended approval, and the project requires PUD amendment and variations due to the quantity and location of signs, as only one wall sign is permitted per facade [cite: 168-201].
Village Board Approves Warrant Number 1396 Exceeding $8.9 Million
The Village Board approved warrant number 1396 for a total of $8,941,960.23, covering various funds including general fund, parking lot fund, debt service fund, capital projects, water fund, golf funds, refuse fund, information technology fund, central garage fund, and building maintenance internal service fund. Payroll expenses for periods ending June 14th, June 28th, and July 12th were also approved [cite: 26-43].
Burke LLC Contracted for $748,040 Gateway Signage Project
The Village Board approved Ordinance 2026-73, authorizing a contract with Burke LLC for construction management services for the designer-led design-build gateway signage project. This contract establishes a guaranteed maximum price of $748,040 for fabricating and installing 10 new gateway signs over the 2026 and 2027 construction seasons. The project is part of the village's community rebrand and aims to improve the village's image and recognition. The design-build model is used for better coordination and risk management. The board debated the cost in the context of other large expenditures, but ultimately approved the ordinance. The signs are intended to enhance the village's presence and image, particularly for residents and potential newcomers [cite: 232-358].
Martial Arts Studio Approved for Industrial District
The Village Board approved Ordinance 2026-69, granting a special use permit for a martial arts studio located at 1682 Barclay Boulevard. This was part of the consent agenda, which included several other ordinances and resolutions.
Village Clarifies Stance on Proposed Daycare Access Concerns
A resident inquired about a proposed daycare at Zero Fremont Way and Buffalo Grove's stance, referencing a newspaper article quoting Mr. Bragg about the village's inability to issue permits for access ways. The village stated that no permit application has been received, so no action has been taken, but confirmed that if an application for access is made, they will conduct due diligence and share the same concerns regarding public safety as previously stated in Mr. Bragg's letter to Long Grove [cite: 376-391]. Another resident echoed concerns about traffic hazards and suggested alternative locations in Long Grove [cite: 398-406].
