Mayor Jim Dodge announced that the Orland Park Village Board voted to rezone the proposed Bridlewood residential development on 108th Avenue north of 143rd Street to R3.
The board, Dodge said, heard from residents about concerns and from the developer about proposed plans. Village staff presented recommended changes intended to reduce neighborhood impact: shifting a walking path away from homes on Old Tamarack Lane, reducing the speed limit on 108th Avenue near the development, adding signage, and planting additional evergreen trees for year‑round screening to the east and south of the site. Dodge said the rezoning will help preserve mature trees through the property's design.
No vote tallies or individual motions were provided in the transcript. The mayor described the action as a board vote to rezone the property to R3; subsequent permitting and site‑design details were not specified in the meeting brief.
Next steps were not specified in the brief; the transcript does not record any motion language, mover/second, or a recorded roll‑call. The board's approval advances the developer toward implementation under the R3 zoning standards cited by village staff.
