Doctor’s office issue up to Planning Commission
Now it’s up to the Dundee Village Planning Commission to approve the use of 141 Riley Street as a doctor’s office.

Dundee Village Council purchased th e downtown building for partial use by the building inspector, and to lease out the rest.

Council members agreed to lease the street level to a firm of sports doctors from Ohio, and to renovate the space to meet the doctors’ needs, at public expense.

However, Village Manager Patrick Burtch learned that the building cannot be used by the doctors unless it is approved for that use by the Planning Commission.

In the Village’s zoning ordinance, it says that medical practices in the B-1 district (which includes the downtown), need to be approved by the Planning Commission.

Coincidentally, an eye doctor is looking to open offices in the house next to the All-Star real estate office building on Tecumseh Street. That house is in the B-1 district also.

The Planning Commission will consider both medical office requests at a public hearing on Monday, July 12 in the Village Council Chambers on Toledo Street at 7 p.m.
