 No. 3-02-0642, Shipp v. County of Kankakee
The county denied the permit, causing plaintiffs to file a complaint for declaratory judgment, claiming that the county unconstitutionally denied their special use permit application and that the village improperly denied them sewer service.
The circuit court found the ordinance unconstitutional as applied to the subject property and enjoined the county from "interfering with the development and to issue such permits as may be required upon proper application." The court also ordered the village to provide water and sewer service to the project.
The county argues that it was premature for the trial court to review the denial of the permit application on the merits since the county did not deny the permit on its merits.
