The Winnetka Park District has submitted permits for the Centennial Beach project to the village, marking the first step in the project’s permitting process.Taking one more step in a long pursuit to improve the village’s beach access, the Winnetka Park District has submitted special use permits for the controversial Centennial Beach renovation project to the village’s Zoning Board of Appeals.
Some residents opposed the swap, arguing the Park District shouldn’t be in the business of giving public land to private citizens. Others who approve of the swap say they would like to see the Park District finally combine the two beaches, a dream of many that has been pursued for decades. “It’s kinda crazy that you guys are progressing with the whole beach thing leaving the land swap issue up in the air,” he said. “Dormancy, like a 160-year-old ban on abortions, doesn’t mean anything because someone can come along and change what you’re living under at any moment.”
From there, permits will be adjusted as deemed by the village and submitted to the United States Army Corps of Engineers and Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Plans for Elder Lane Beach are on hold while the village completes a stormwater review to determine if an outfall pipe on the beach needs replacing. The Park District has plans to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the village to replace the pipe if deemed necessary. Results will be available in July, according to the village.
