New Lenox Approves Site Plan for MBPRO Truck Repair on Moni Drive

Spread the love

NEW LENOX – The Village Board on Monday approved site modifications for a new truck repair business, MBPRO Services, set to open at 21660 South Moni Drive.

The board unanimously approved a plan to replace the existing reclaimed asphalt surface with a new, heavy-duty paved parking lot. The plan includes eight striped parking stalls, each 12-feet wide by 75-feet deep, to accommodate truck trailers.

Community Development Director Robin Ellis explained that the property was formerly part of a landscape business, which had been granted an exception to the village code allowing for an unpaved surface for equipment storage.

“The new tenant is a truck repair business, so in order to park truck trailers on the property, they’re required to hard surface and then they’re going to stripe eight truck parking stalls,” Ellis said.

The property was also previously home to the Kee Firearm tenant space in an adjacent building.

As part of the development, the board also approved a setting of surety, requiring MBPRO Services to provide a letter of credit for $7,812.50. This financial guarantee ensures that required public improvements associated with the project are completed and will expire on July 14, 2027.

The five trustees present—Amy Gugliuzza, Bryan Reiser, Lindsay Scalise, Jim Wilson, and Keith Madsen—voted to approve both the site modifications and the surety.
