The construction of a hotel at the corner of Rockton Rd. and Glengary Rd. in Rockton, IL will increase the traffic flow into the quiet neighborhoods of Kensington & Wingate Subdivisions and will significantly impact the privacy of its residents.
Additionally, it is likely that a proposed hotel/motel in this particular location will increase crime in both neighborhoods.
As a result of the above concerns, we anticipate that the construction and operation of a hotel/motel will adversely affect the values of the properties in Kensington Subdivision, which stands as one of the communities largest tax bases. The same property value concern exists for Wingate Subdivision.
We kindly request you to reconsider the benefit and/or need of a hotel/motel at this particular location. None of the nearby, popular wedding venues or sports complexes are within close proximity to this location and there is currently nothing near I-90 requiring the need of overnight stays. Furthermore, a hotel/motel in this location will have no positive financial impact on the downtown area of Rockton, IL, which is located 2.5 miles away, or an 8 minute car ride.
For these reasons, we passionately oppose the construction of a hotel/motel at this location.
The signers of this petition request that you do all within your power to halt the future construction and reevaluate the impact of a proposed hotel/motel at this location.

The emails I keep receiving from local officials are vague and frustrating. I am spending my evenings reviewing zoning documents to see how we can push back against these plans. It is draining work but we are not going to let this slide.

Reaching this point has been draining yet I am encouraged by how many people refuse to let our concerns be ignored. This push is exhausting but we are showing the planners that we will not stay quiet while our neighborhoods are threatened.

A hotel doesn't belong by the housing subdivisions. If one is needed, then put by the Interstate, that makes more sense.
No! This would disturb a nice family neighborhood and there’s plenty of areas closer to the highway to build! It would also destroy our value
I am against the hotel!
Strongly oppose to this development
The day this is approved is the day I move.
This is too close to residential. Maybe down further on Rockton by 90
Please keep the hotel out of what’s left of northern Illinois that isn’t over populated with people who don’t care for our city.
