"Three to four stories at this location is too much," said Mike Andrews of Grayslake regarding the proposed new development of the Mercy Housing Lakefront Senior Center.
He launched a large helium balloon on an adjacent property near Route 120 and Neville Road, on the south side of Route 120 and just west of Lake Street, across from Gray's Lake.
"When it goes straight up, this balloon is 72 feet, eight inches high, just like the clock tower of the building would be," Andrews said. "It would be the biggest monument in Grayslake."
Representatives from Mercy Housing said that the building height would actually be 53 feet, only a clock tower would be higher than that.
The plans for the Mercy Housing Lakefront Senior Center will be discussed by the Grayslake Zoning Board of Appeals at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 26 at Grayslake Village Hall.
