The Lake Forest Preservation Foundation opposes the modified plans for Phase 3 of the McKinley Rd. Development, citing non-compliance with historic preservation standards.

The Foundation urges the City Council to affirm the Historic Preservation Commission’s denial and suggests remanding the plans for reconsideration with specific modifications.
