Plan Commission backs amendment to allow single‑story homes in Prairie Landing
Summary
The Joliet Plan Commission recommended approval of a PUD amendment to add two single‑story house models to the Prairie Landing subdivision. Residents raised drainage and property‑value concerns during the public hearing; staff and the applicant said basins were designed as dry‑bottom and the change responds to market demand.
The Joliet Plan Commission voted Jan. 15 to recommend approval of an amendment to the final planned unit development for Prairie Landing Subdivision to allow two one‑story house models in addition to the subdivision's approved two‑story plans.
Planning staff told commissioners the amendment (PUD 1‑20‑26) would add smaller single‑story options while retaining the subdivision's design standards and material requirements. The subdivision covers about 44 acres on the east side of Essington Road at Old Castle Road and already contains 120 single‑family lots, staff said.
