Council rejects proposed Jet Brite car wash in Aero Estates
At Tuesday’s Naperville City Council meeting, the dais voted 8-0 against Jet Brite’s request to build a new car wash at the northeast corner of 83rd Street and Route 59, just outside city limits in unincorporated DuPage County.
The proposal brought out concerned residents in the adjacent Aero Estates subdivision in Naperville. They voiced issues at Tuesday’s meeting, as well as the March 15 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, where the commission voted against a recommendation for Jet Brite.
Concerns with the proposed car wash included traffic, noise, and stormwater drainage, which reportedly has been an ongoing issue in the area.
