Please submit this email as written communication at the next gathering of Elmhurst City
Council.
I am asking the Elmhurst City Council to please reconsider the handling of the hoop house
case. The hoop house is a temporary structure and permanent structure policies do not
apply. The government cannot be selective in applying rules because a few people are
concerned about aesthetics. Moreover, as we continue to distance ourselves during this
pandemic, self-sustaining gardens feed a family and protect us all by limiting exposure in
stores.
Please make a referral to the City Council to open this issue again. I ask for the parameters
used by the USDA -similar to the program the City of Chicago has approved and adopted-
be implemented in this case and throughout Elmhurst for the betterment of our village.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Eckstein
