Plan Commission recommends preliminary approval for four‑lot subdivision on Jackson Drive
Summary
The Wheeling Plan Commission unanimously recommended the preliminary plat for a four‑lot subdivision at 2812 and 2822 Jackson Drive to the Village Board, with a staff condition requiring side‑yard setbacks be shown on the final plat; the applicant said utility service and lot dimensions meet R‑1 standards.
Steve Goodman, vice president of THG Holdings LLC (the Huron Group), told the Wheeling Plan Commission on Jan. 14 that his company seeks to divide 2812 and 2822 Jackson Drive into four single‑family lots and that the proposal meets R‑1 zoning standards. Goodman said the combined site is about 3.245 acres, that the R‑1 minimum lot area is 12,000 square feet, and that each proposed lot "exceeds the minimum," and he described available sanitary and storm sewers on Jackson Drive while noting the block lacks a water main.
The commission’s planner (identified in the hearing record as Miss Nyez) presented the preliminary plat and recommended one clarifying condition: the minimum side‑yard setback measurements must be clearly identified on each lot on the final plat before recording. Staff told the commission the preliminary and final plats will be nearly identical in appearance and explained that the applicant must appear before the Village Board after the commission’s recommendation.
Commissioners asked no substantive questions during the review. The commission moved and voted unanimously to recommend the preliminary plat to the Village Board; the chair and staff advised the applicant to appear at the Village Board meeting on Feb. 2 for final action. The commission’s recommendation does not approve a recorded plat; final plat approval and recording remain subject to the Village Board decision and completion of the conditions the commission imposed.
Clarifying details recorded in the hearing included the applicant’s statement of lot and setback dimensions and staff’s note that sanitary and storm sewer service exists at the property frontage while a public water main does not. The transcript contains a garbled exact per‑lot area figure when stated aloud; the hearing record shows the applicant asserted each lot would be well above the R‑1 minimum but does not provide a clean, unambiguous numeric total for each lot in the record.
