Several residents have won their first battle to prevent a developer from building a town home complex near their homes.

Ben-Cor Group has proposed 54 town homes on 10 acres at the northwest corner of Franklin Avenue and Poplar Street.

But the village’s Planning, Building and Zoning Committee, after receiving a positive recommendation from the Plan Commission, voted 5-1 Monday night against recommending that the Village Board approve preliminary plans for the Willow Glen development.
