It is unfortunate that y ou had to close the Ford dealership in Oak Park Hei however
the Cit understands that these are interestin economic times.
However, the Cit is obli to inform y ou of two items:
Presumin that your ceased car sales at this site on approx Nov 20th, 2008, y ou
have 12 months to resume g eneral sales operations at this site prior to the
lapsin of y our Conditional Use Permits as issued for such propert You ma
certainl re the Cit extend this firneline, but we would ask that this be
done well in advance.
2. Should y ou not have a reasonable expectation that FORD vehicles or other
car sales would not be returnin to this site, the Cit asks that all si
related to car sales and non-site related si removed. Cit ordinance
does re this, but y o u r ay be considerin g earin g -up this site a for
car sales so it is understandable that y ou ma hesitate. The Cit will revisit this
issue in sprin 2009.
Per m discussion with - Jepfh �hul d t, y ou are still pursuin alternative site developments
for this area. Pleas 4'ej,.. p,6e w if the Cit can assist in this discussion.
