Commission Says No on Dunkin’ Donuts Drive-Thru at Train Station
The Lake Forest Historic Preservation Commission said the drive-thru isn't compatible with the building's historic nature. The Plan Commission will take that into account when making its own decision in April.
If it were up to the Lake Forest Historic Preservation Commission, the proposed Dunkin’ Donuts at the East Lake Forest Train Station would not have a drive-thru window.
The commissioners said that while they like the idea of a Dunkin’ Donuts in that vacant spot, the drive-thru is the sticking point, according to an article in the Lake Forester. The store’s applicant has said the drive-thru is necessary in order to operate in that spot.
The Plan Commission is scheduled to vote on the proposal in April and will take the Historic Preservation Commission’s decision into account, the Lake Forester article says.
