Geneva Heights gains approval for St. Charles Heights subdivision at 873 Geneva Road

The St. Charles City Council made significant strides in local development during their recent meeting, approving a new subdivision plan that will pave the way for two new single-family homes. The council unanimously endorsed the preliminary and final plat for the St. Charles Heights subdivision, located at 873 Geneva Road, following a recommendation from the plan commission.

Property owner Geneva Heights, represented by Bob Rasmussen, sought the combined approval to split the existing property into two buildable lots. Each lot will adhere to the minimum standards of the R T 1 zoning district, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Access to both homes will be facilitated via a shared driveway off Geneva Road, with plans for a public storm sewer system to be installed for both lots. Additionally, the public sidewalks along the Geneva Road frontage will be replaced as part of the development.

The council's decision came after a thorough review by the plan commission on July 8, which recommended the project for approval. Final engineering plans supporting the subdivision were also approved by city staff, confirming that the proposal meets all subdivision code requirements.

In a related matter, the council also approved a plat of easement for 885 Geneva Road, which is necessary for the subdivision project. Both motions received strong support from council members, reflecting a commitment to enhancing residential development in the area.

This approval marks a positive step forward for the community, as it not only adds new housing options but also improves local infrastructure. The council's actions signal a proactive approach to urban planning and development in St. Charles.
