Life Storage Center Drops Lawsuit Against Libertyville

The city of Libertyville, Ill., settled a lawsuit brought by Life Storage Center that will allow plans to move forward on an upscale self-storage facility the company originally proposed in 2007. The Plan Commission had approved the building for 100 Solar Drive, but the Village Board vetoed the idea, prompting the lawsuit.
 
The facility was originally intended for residential customers, but the Board did not want families traveling in and out of a business district, according to Village Administrator Kevin Bowens. Village staff continued to meet with Life Storage and developed a new plan. Now the customer focus will be “incubator” businesses that can operate offices and use storage space on site. Since the new plan was approved by the Board, the lawsuit will be dropped.
