Summary

Trustees approved a certified survey map for a land division in the Town of Berry allowing landowner John Brooks to sell a parcel to the Ice Age Trail Alliance; the map was previously approved by the town planning commission and the village acted under its extraterritorial review authority.

The village board approved a certified survey map (CSM) for sections 33 and 34 in the Town of Berry that splits a property owned by John Brooks. Under the CSM, Brooks will retain 37.63 acres and sell a 33.64-acre parcel to the Ice Age Trail Alliance, as shown on the submitted map. Village staff noted the property lies outside village limits but within the village’s extraterritorial review area and that the Town of Berry had already approved the map at the plan commission level.

Kevin, identified as senior director of field operations with the Ice Age Trail Alliance, attended to answer questions for trustees. Trustees confirmed the parcel location relative to village property at Hickory Hill and asked for clarification on the thin access strip and surrounding landowners. Staff explained the map’s relation to nearby village property and roadways. The motion to approve the CSM passed by voice vote.
