Roscoe board approves replat and planned-unit development for Clearwing lot after brief discussion
Summary
The Village of Roscoe on April 15 approved an ordinance to replat Lot A, Plat 3 of Clearwing Subdivision (10307 and 10375 Clearwing) and a planned-unit development that staff said will include 23 townhome units. The board suspended rules to finalize the measures and voted unanimously.
The Village of Roscoe board on April 15 approved an ordinance and a planned-unit development (PUD) for Lot A, Plat 3 of Clearwing Subdivision, a parcel at 10307 and 10375 Clearwing, after suspending the rules to allow final action at the meeting.
The board’s vote followed a staff presentation and a developer-provided site plan showing expanded open space and a proposed community gathering area that includes benches and a fire pit. Village staff told the board the revised plan increased landscaped open space compared with surrounding areas. Staff also said the proposal will contain 23 townhome units with single-car garages.
The ordinance (2025-O7) was brought up as a first reading earlier in the meeting. Following additional discussion and a motion to suspend the rules to allow final action, the board approved the replat and the PUD. The board also approved final site details presented by the developer including the shared patio/gathering area.
During public comment, resident Rob Baxter of 11704 Parkway Drive said he was concerned about the process and the project’s implications. Baxter asked whether the proposal increases the number of houses and said he was disappointed by what he described as a pattern of approvals for developer-requested changes. He told the board, “I do appreciate the effort ... but I’m kinda disenchanted,” and asked that future projects include curb, gutter and sidewalks where appropriate.
The developer’s representative in the audience confirmed the design changes discussed at the meeting and answered board questions about the placement of the open space and the community seating area.
The board voted to suspend the rules to take final action and then approved the replat and PUD. The motions passed with affirmative votes from the members present; the measure carried.
The approvals direct the village to record the replat and implement the PUD provisions as presented. No amendment to the ordinance text was recorded in the transcript. The project will return to the village’s permitting process for building-plan review and inspections as required under local codes.
