Council holds first reading for Greenview planned unit development; developer commits to additional access and HOA maintenance language
Summary
Crown Point — The City Council on March 3 read and held over for second reading an ordinance to establish the Greenview planned unit development on 152.9 acres of the former Summer Tree Golf Course.
Crown Point — The City Council on March 3 read and held over for second reading an ordinance to establish the Greenview planned unit development (PUD), a proposed residential project on roughly 152.9 acres on the former Summer Tree Golf Course between 101st Avenue and Niles Ditch.
Kevin Pasco of Artalk Homes appeared for the petitioner and told the council the developer had worked with planning, engineering, fire and utilities and received necessary approvals from the Lake County Drainage Board and other reviewers. He said the developer expanded phase 1 to include both project entrances so the first phase will meet the subdivision ordinance requirement for multiple points of access for subdivisions of 40 or more lots.
Key points in the first reading
The developer said maintenance responsibilities for common outlots will be specified in HOA covenants (added to section 5.02(a)) and that a maintenance map will detail responsibilities. The developer said the southern entrance parcel swap with Providence is under contract and the parties expect to record deeds before final PUD adoption.
What the council and staff said
Staff and the planning commission had debated points of access to limit traffic through an existing cemetery neighborhood; the petitioner said the revised phasing and completion of both entrances address that concern. Council members asked neighborhood and engineering questions; the council voted to read the ordinance by title only and hold it for a second reading next month.
What was not decided
This action is a first reading and does not adopt the zoning change or final PUD ordinance; council members requested documentation that the parcel swap and deed recordings occur before final ordinance adoption.
Ending
The council held the measure for second reading and asked staff to verify the deed recording and the maintenance covenant language before final action.
