The Park Ridge Park District sought a major variance at 25 W. Busse Hwy to replace existing light poles at the Hinkley Park tennis courts with fewer, taller LED light poles, represented by Corporate Design & Development Group, LLC; the department's annual report describes the request as exceeding the maximum light pole height. After the hearing on September 28, 2017, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted 7–0 to recommend approval to the City Council, as reported in the staff cover memorandum to the Council. The annual report lists the variance as approved by the City Council.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Sep 28 2017. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.

What was requested, recommended, approved, contracted, reported paid and completed?

Amounts are read from the cited pages and added up by code. A recommendation, an award or an authorized amount does not establish that money was paid.

No amount is published for this item.

Contracts, payments and completion

No contract, payment or completion record is published for this item. Approval alone does not establish completion.

Which parcels, agencies, businesses and projects are explicitly connected?

Official identifiers and exhibit listings connect records. A name, an address or distance alone only suggests a connection.

Properties named in the records

What remains unresolved?

No condition or deadline is published for this item. That is a limit of the published research, not evidence that none exist.

Open questions

No open question is recorded for this item.

What does the evidence suggest, and what would change it?

No conflicting records are published for this item.

Permits at this address since the first recorded event

No approval, award or execution is recorded, so permits are counted after the first dated event, Sep 28, 2017 (Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval to the City Council).

Computed by code from the building permits in the Park Ridge property release (the county permit feed), as of Nov 1, 2026. A permit shows that work was authorized, not that it was completed, and no permit recorded does not establish that nothing was built. A parcel matched by address is nominated by the address written in the record; that does not prove the record concerns it.
