Glenview Plan Commission Gives Red Seal Nod
Citing the lack of affect on Glenview, plan commissioners approve project that would divide Mission Hills Golf Course.
The Glenview Plan Commission unanimously approved Red Seal Development’s plans to build 137 residential units on a plat that takes up half of the Mission Hills Golf Course in unincorporated Cook County.
The commission’s unanimous October 27 vote did add an amendment that the village has no connection to, or any jurisdiction over the property and has no plan to annex it, according to the Glenview Announcements. Therefore, it would not affect village services at all.
“It’s in no way our approval or judgment on that project or its subdivision,” Commissioner Mark Igleski said.

Red Seal also needs the approval of the Glenview Village Trustees, who are set to discuss the matter on November 17.
The reason the matter came to Glenview is that a subdivision ordinance gives village officials authority to review projects within 1.5 miles of the municipal boundary.
