The Roers Development is scheduled for reconsideration at the Village Plan Commission meeting on Monday, July 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the Village Hall.

The proposed site is at parcel 83-4-223-074-0006, between CTHs E & A, on west side of Union Pacific Railroad.

The Petitioner proposes to develop a portion of the  parcel for a 200-unit multifamily residential development consisting of 8- & 16-unit 2-story multi-family residential buildings along with a 5,093 sq. ft. clubhouse, approximately 18 acres of open space including walking trails, dog parks, playground and a sport court.

They are requesting review and approval of a comprehensive land use plan amendment, rezoning, a Certified Survey Map (CSM) land division, and overall site plan & exterior building fenestration approval.

In March, the items were reviewed and recommended for denial by the Plan Commission. The items were later reviewed by the Village Board, and, at the recommendation of legal counsel, directed to return to the Commission for reconsideration based on the Village’s code, standards, and comprehensive plan.

A comprehensive plan amendment requires the Plan Commission to adopt a resolution, and the Village Board to adopt an ordinance. The remaining items require a recommendation (positive or negative) from the Commission, and final action by the Board.

If items are approved, then they will be added to an upcoming Village Board meeting. The agenda will be posted at the Village website.
