Planning commission backs Melke zone change for Vermillion Cliffs lot
Summary
The Kane County Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a zone change from C-1 to C-2 for Vermillion Cliffs Estate Lot 6-51 so applicants Robert and Carrie Milke may open a manufactured-home sales office and showroom; the recommendation now goes to the county commission.
The Kane County Planning and Zoning Commission voted June 11 to recommend that the county commission approve a zone change (ordinance 2025-17) for Vermillion Cliffs Estate Lot 6-51, moving the parcel from Commercial 1 to Commercial 2 to allow a manufactured-home dealership.
Applicants Robert and Carrie Milke told the commission they plan one office and one showroom on the site and described the property as a sales and ordering location; manufactured homes would be shipped directly from the factory to purchasers. Staff said notices were sent and only one caller, Nick Ramsey, phoned with questions but offered no objection.
Commission discussion focused on the condition of the access road and traffic expectations. One commissioner noted the spur road is "hollowed and rough and not in shape for a commercial property," while others said the proposed use would not create a storage yard for units and therefore is unlikely to generate significant oversized traffic. After questions were answered, a motion to recommend approval was moved, seconded and carried; one commissioner voted against the recommendation. The commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the county commission for final action.
Staff noted there were no in-person public comments on the item during the meeting. The county commission will schedule its own hearing and decision on the ordinance when it takes up the recommendation.
