Hooray! Crews do a clean-up of Palermo's 'back lot'



Positively Palermo has been pointing out the condition of the undeveloped Phase 2 of our Palermo community. That's the open space surrounded by green fencing. The parcel is supposed to have 88 more units — in addition to the six models already built there and sitting vacant — for a total of 94 more units. These would be added to the 117 units already built in Phase 1, so Palermo at full build-out would have 211 units. Phase 2 also is supposed to have 10,000 square feet of retail space, a pool and spa, tennis courts and a dog park. But for years the space has been a big garbage heap. Glass bottles abound. Plastic bags have taken over the shrubbery. The green fence often is blowing in the wind. Now there's a big clean-up going on, with crews leveling ground, moving big rocks, watering the dirt with sprinklers, removing trash, trimming bushes and trees, and generally sprucing up the place. Miss Penny Lane says: Thank you, Enterprise Companies of Chicago for this work.

Are they cleaning up to start the next phase of the complex? Why hasn't any email gone out about what is happening? The HOA board ran on making"communication" better but it has gotten worse. The cleanup is a good thing but now it just has unleashed rumors about what's behind it. Come on board members, communicate with us. The board needs someone who knows about communicating.

Good thought. But we also are paying people to do this, and have managers and board who are responsible, so by doing that are we just enabling the incompetence? Dunno know the answer ...

There's been more equipment back there. Is something up that we should know about?

More good news in that that one of those disruptive kids on the bikes has moved, the one on Penny Lane. His mother moved them out last weekend, and as a parting gift, left a huge TV outside the dumpster. She then filled the dumpster up with fans, broken furniture and junk. Village Property (Michael Heath) should charge her for the take-away fee for that TV. At least these bad neighbors are gone.

Everyone, check out the reader comments on the "Plastic Fields" posting. A resident has lost their gray cat. The info is on "Plastic Fields" string. They live at 262 Breeze.

Is the cat OK?

Yea, what happened to the cat. Never saw any posters up.

Maybe a coyote ate the cat.

What's going on i the back 40? Why can't the board or Brandi send out an email to say what's going instead of everyone just guessing??

I think the city made them clean it up rather than Enterprise Cos. Chicago justing doing it on their own.

If Enterprise is leaving, would not they just have ignored the city's instructions?
