Board approves third amendment and final PUD for Hummel Trails Neighborhood 14; Lennar to purchase site
Summary
Trustees approved a third amendment to the Hummel Trails annexation agreement and a final planned-unit development and subdivision plat for Neighborhood 14; the developer said portions of the site may be removed from the floodplain to allow up to 169 homes once a Letter of Map Revision is secured.
The Village of Oswego Board on May 27 approved an ordinance authorizing the third amendment to the Hummel Trails annexation agreement and separately approved a final planned-unit development (PUD) and subdivision plat for Hummel Trails Neighborhood 14. Lennar Corporation is the contract purchaser for the neighborhood and is expected to complete engineering and flood-plain work before final platting of several lots.
Why it matters: The amendment and plats govern how Neighborhood 14 will be subdivided and built. The petitioner indicated that, depending on a Letter of Map Revision related to floodplain mapping, additional lots designated as outlots V through Z could be final-platted, increasing total single-family units from the 132 proposed to as many as 169—consistent with the preliminary concept plan and earlier annexation terms.
Meeting details: Village staff described the proposed final PUD and subdivision plat as containing 132 single-family lots with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet and a 6.2-acre park site. Lennar, present at the hearing, said it is the contract purchaser for Neighborhood 14 and plans to purchase and subdivide part of the site; staff said some outlots are currently designated as stormwater easements and that a floodplain-related Letter of Map Revision would be required before those outlots could be platted as homesites.
The Planning and Zoning Commission previously reviewed the final plat (11/7/2019) and found it substantially consistent with the preliminary plat. Village staff and the petitioner discussed converting an island entrance into an outlot so a homeowners association can own and maintain a neighborhood monument sign. The board moved, seconded and approved the annexation amendment and the final PUD/subdivision plat by roll call.
Lennar representative John McFarland spoke at the public hearing, confirming the purchaser’s intent to adhere to the preliminary concept plan and to pursue required engineering and floodplain remedies prior to final platting of additional lots.
