CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS- CHAIR TORNATORE  
No remarks were offered.  
PUBLIC COMMENT  
Glenn Nelson of Glen Ellyn Woods Subdivision spoke against the proposed text amendment  
regarding video gaming. He has previously attended meetings and submitted public comment  
and was surprised that the text amendment would make the ordinance less restrictive for the  
distance requirements from protected uses. He asked Members to review the documents he put  
forth through public comment for possible changes that limit video gaming proliferation in the  
County.  
Richard Forty, the petitioner for Zoning case ZONING-25-000070 was in attendance, but did not  
speak.
