Village board reviews map amendment, PUD to subdivide 921 Deerpath Road into six lots
Summary
Staff presented a proposal from Silverthorne Development to rezone and subdivide property at 921 Deerpath Road into five new single-family lots plus the existing house as Lot 6. Planning staff said the proposal meets E3 standards for the new lots but requires a front-yard setback exception for the existing house; trustees asked questions about lot depth, driveways and feasibility.
Planning staff described a map amendment and planned-unit development (PUD) request for a property at 921 Deerpath Road that would subdivide the parcel into six lots: five new buildable lots and the existing house remaining as Lot 6.
"The property was annexed to the village by surroundment," staff said, noting the site took on ER zoning when annexed in 2009. Staff recommended rezoning the developable portion to the E3 state-standard district and said the five proposed new homes would meet the E3 standards.
Because the existing house sits at a 36-foot front-yard setback while E3 requires 40 feet, staff proposed a one-time front-yard setback of 35 feet for that existing house only. Staff also described proposed conditions: a sidewalk along Deerpath to connect to the bike path and locating Lot 1's driveway as far north as possible to avoid creating a direct conflict with the Westover intersection.
A developer representative from Silverthorne Development said building four homes had been considered but was not financially feasible for the property; five lots were chosen as the workable layout. Trustees asked about the apparent closeness of houses in the diagram; staff clarified the inner rectangles shown are setback lines, not house footprints, and that lots are deep (near 359—60 feet in examples provided).
The planning commission voted to recommend approval; staff said a draft ordinance and elevations are in the board packet and that the item will proceed according to the board's direction.
