Village Board to Consider Special Use Permit for Tilted Kilt

The Bolingbrook Village Board will consider a proposal from Tilted Kilt that would allow the restaurant to offer outdoor dining and extended hours.

The restaurant,best known for its Kilt Girls, will be moving into a 6,000 square-foot space at 1051 S. Weber Rd. near the intersection of Weber Road and Remington Boulevard. 

Tilted Kilt has come under fire from locals in communities where the restaurant has sought to expand. 

In April a group of to Tilted Kilt. The pressure eventually got to Evanston officials, as Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl rejected a liquor license for the restaurant.

"The reasons for the denial stem from the public safety concerns expressed by the residents and the fact that the proposed licensee's establishment does not comply with recognized Evanston community standards," Tisdahl wrote in her rejection notice.

"The applicant simply cannot overcome the strong community-based opposition to placing a congested and noisy bar in that proposed location."

Bolingbrook trustees will also consider resolutions that would partner the village with the North American Youth Sports to bring the 2011 National Basketball Tournament to Bolingbrook; and a resolution that would approve the village's adult mosquito spraying contract with Clarke Environmental.

Trustees are also expected to vote on an ordinance that could grant Buona Beef, which will move into the old Krispy Kreme building at 303 S. Weber Rd., a liquor license.
