An attorney for La Grange Friends of the Park LGFP), a group of residents opposed to the sale of 2.82 acres from Gordon Park to developer Atlantic Realty Partners (ARP), said Saturday that his group this week would issue a written copy of its latest proposal to end litigation that for two years has held up redevelopment of the former Rich Port YMCA site at La Grange Rd and Ogden Ave.
Tom Beyer, one of three attorneys, all La Grange residents, who represent LGFP, said that half of the groups 20-odd members met Saturday morning to consider a settlement scenario put forth by ARP.
Beyer said the group had reached a consensus on a response but wanted to circulate a written copy of their position to all members of the group for input before releasing the document to the public.
Beyer said he hoped to make the proposal available to anyone interested as early as Wednesday.
While he would not discuss details of the negotiations with ARP, Beyer indicated that LGFP and the developer are close to having an agreement in principle, but said that no final settlement was possible without the cooperation of the Park District of La Grange and village officials.
