Village of Arlington Heights v. Kantoff

This proceeding arose from a suit brought by plaintiff, the Village of Arlington Heights (hereinafter, the Village), against defendant, Morton Kantoff, for failure to improve a parcel of real estate which he bought from the Village on June 21, 1982. The property was to be used temporarily as a parking lot until it was developed. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss contending that he was bound by no terms other than those specifically addressed in the ordinance of conveyance. The trial court denied defendant’s motion. The court then ruled in favor of the Village. This appeal followed.
