The Village Board voted to approve an interim rewrite of the planned unit development (PUD) overlay and to adopt related land‑use map amendments and rezoning for three parcels at the northwest corner of State Highway 83 and Fifth Place.
Jeff Albrecht, a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, told the board that the commission recommended the ordinance as an interim measure and that commissioners hoped to return with a two‑track approach: one PUD for preexisting and nonconforming uses and a second for new development. Albrecht said the commission had debated minimum acreage and passed a compromise recommendation.
Planning staff summarized the options before the board: a staff recommendation that set some acreage minimums (including five acres for some categories) and a planning commission recommendation that changed commercial minimums to zero acres to allow flexibility in hamlet areas. The board discussed the tradeoffs and the need to preserve a mechanism to help nonconforming, existing properties while later drafting a final ordinance.
Trustees said the measure was intended to be an interim fix that gives property owners a path forward while the planning commission completes a more comprehensive zoning update. A motion to approve the ordinance (plan commission recommendation) passed; the board recorded the motion as carrying after a voice vote.
The board also approved an amendment to the adopted land‑use plan maps (Ordinance 2025.10‑104) and a rezoning (Ordinance 2025.10‑105) for the same cluster of parcels so that residential and commercial uses could be consolidated on appropriate lots; trustees said the changes would allow the new owners to better manage multiple buildings on the site.
Why it matters: Trustees and planning commissioners framed the action as a pragmatic interim step to unblock stalled proposals in hamlets such as Wilmot and Silver Lake while preserving the planning commission’s ability to craft more detailed, permanent rules. The board directed the planning commission to continue work on a second phase of revisions.
Ending: Trustees said the planning commission would return with additional proposals and that staff would incorporate public input during the upcoming ordinance and land‑division updates.
