In an email to Patch on Monday, Village Manager Zach Creer said the developer’s plan is a “preliminary concept” at this point. It will likely be changed based on feedback, he said.
“We haven’t gotten amended plans or renderings yet,” Creer said, adding that he expected more information soon.

The property was owned by Evelyn Kapicka, who died at age 97 in February 2023.
