Two residents of a Tinley Park subdivision that might become neighbors with a retail center anchored by a Wal-Mart store have hired an attorney who specializes in land use and zoning issues.
Attorney Jason Tunquist said Thursday was his first day on the job, and he attended a Tinley Park Plan Commission meeting, where another attorney presented revised plans for a 24-hour Wal-Mart Supercenter at the southwest corner of 191st Street and Harlem Avenue.
It's not clear who Tunquist's clients are. But Jennifer Vargas, who lives in the Brookside Glen subdivision and whose home would back up to the Wal-Mart, said several residents are unhappy about the reduced buffer zone between the proposed store and the homes and the several entrances and exits proposed for the shopping center.
"If Lane Bryant wasn't a lesson to Tinley Park, what's going to be?" Vargas asked, referring to the Feb. 2 murders of five women at the women's clothing store in a mall across the street from the proposed Wal-Mart.
Chicago-based Aetna Development wants to build a 370,000-square-foot retail center anchored by the Wal-Mart on 83 acres that are now a sod farm. More than a dozen outlots would front 191st Street and Harlem Avenue in Prairie View Crossings.
