Commission recommends subdivision to finalize Vernon Hills/Park District land swap at 7 East Phillips Road
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a preliminary and final plat to create a 42,900-square-foot tax parcel at 7 East Phillips Road and dedicate 8,099 sq ft of Philips Road right-of-way as part of a long‑pending land swap with the Vernon Hills Park District.
The Vernon Hills Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of a preliminary and final plat to subdivide a portion of Deerpath Park and establish a 42,900-square-foot parcel for the property known as 7 East Phillips Road, plus a dedication of 8,099 square feet of Phillips Road right-of-way, during its Jan. 28 meeting.
Village staff told the commission the subdivision is the remaining administrative step needed to complete an existing land-swap agreement with the Vernon Hills Park District so each public agency owns the parcels they actually use. Staff said the village has used a service and utility building on the Deerpath Park parcel for years and that moving parcel lines will align ownership with use. Staff recommended approval subject to final review by the village engineer and attorney.
The commission moved to recommend approval of the preliminary and final plat, with the standard condition requiring final engineering and legal sign-off. A roll call vote recorded affirmative votes for the motion; the commission noted the matter will return to the Village Board for final action.
The recommendation packages the commission’s conditions for the Village Board to consider, and staff said the village attorney and engineer will complete final document review before the Board vote.
