Plan Commission approves Maple Field plat and development agreement, adopts Comprehensive Plan amendments

At its May 15 meeting, the Village of Jackson Plan Commission recommended Village Board approval of several routine land-use items: the final plat for Maple Field Subdivision, Edition No. 2; a development agreement for Maple Field Subdivision, Addition No. 2 (Phase 3); and Resolution 205-17, which amends the Village of Jackson Comprehensive Plan.

Commissioners approved the final plat for Maple Field Subdivision, Edition No. 2, after a motion by Commissioner Van Eppelins and a second by Commissioner Hafmeister. The motion carried by voice vote.

The commission then recommended approval of a development agreement for Maple Field Subdivision, Addition No. 2 (Phase 3). The motion, made by Van (surname as spoken in the record) and seconded by Commissioner Emerick, approved the agreement conditioned upon staff review and approval of forthcoming plans required to satisfy Exhibit B plan requirements. Commissioners discussed the phasing layout; one commissioner noted the phasing appears unusual because Phase 3 is an interior parcel encountered immediately on entering the subdivision.

Finally, the commission adopted Resolution 205-17 by motion of Commissioner Hechendorf, seconded by Commissioner Emerick. Resolution 205-17 amends the comprehensive plan by redefining the multi-family residential category, updating land-use categories for specified parcels, and revising Map 1 (Land Use Plan for the Village of Jackson 2050). During discussion a staff member summarized that one parcel near the lake would be reclassified to park and another parcel would be designated multi-family high-density urban residential; no roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.

All three actions were approved by voice vote and will be forwarded to the Village Board for final action or recordation as required.
