Readily apparent deterioration is considered the cause of a balcony collapse in Schaumburg that sent a group of teens tumbling about 12 feet to the ground as they posed for a birthday party photo early Sunday evening.
Only one person out of about 10 involved required immediate transport to a hospital after the collapse of the second-story deck at a townhouse on the 1000 block of Colony Lake Drive, but others sought treatment later for minor injuries.

Schaumburg officials are exploring ways to help apartment landlords provide air conditioning on hot pre-summer days when they re still required by the village to provide heat.
Village officials say the issue occurs in buildings capable of making the transition from heating to air conditioning only twice a year.
Resident Afreen Rana told village board members this week that hot days before the required June 1 changeover have seemed to occur more often over the six years she s lived at the Legend Park Apartments at the intersection of Cambia Drive and Crabtree Lane.

Napleton s Schaumburg Buick GMC on Golf Road in Schaumburg received the green light from village officials Tuesday to expand its dealership operations on two adjacent properties it already owns but has been using only for vehicle storage until now.
The village board s approval allows Napleton s to create an improved 208-space lot for vehicle display between its current location at 100 W. Golf Road and the Boston Market restaurant to the east.

A pitch to add 208 apartments behind the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg on Golf Road could have repercussions for the future development and redevelopment of the entire area around Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg Mayor Tom Dailly said. I really think that could be the wave of the future, Dailly added. If we do this, it s probably the first major change to Schaumburg planning in its history.
Village trustees will get their first look at the proposal Tuesday night. Few details have been provided to Schaumburg officials in advance. Tim Gallagher, of landowner First Equity Group LLC, declined to share additional information before the presentation, which he said was still being prepared Monday.
