On the agenda of the City Council's Planning & Development Committee for Mon., Oct. 27, is a request for an additional two-year extension for "1700-1722 Central St. Approved Planned Development." That is the long name for the "Eastwood" project on the former Evanston Theatre site, currently a vacant lot.
Planned Developments in Evanston are granted by Ordinance and ordinarily must be started by dates certain. The PD for this project, Ordinance 7-O-07, currently expires April 5, 2009.
The committee, which consists of all members of the Council meets at 7 pm in the Council chambers at the Civic Center.

On Nov. 10, 2008, the city of Evanston is auctioning off one of the properties it (we) owns on Central Street.
The property at 2022 Central Street is next door to the Library (which is not included in the auction). Both buildings are owned by the city of Evanston (or, you could say, owned by all of us, the residents).
The auction will be a sealed bid auction. How and where is this being marketed, and why is the time frame of announcing this to the date of the auction so quick?
