Loading...
Summary
The planning commission recommended approval of petition 26-003, a final planned development for a duplex at 391 Capital Drive, approving a requested rear-yard setback deviation and imposing conditions including final-engineer sign-off, 4-inch real brick columns, and a long-term maintenance plan for permeable pavers.
The Sugar Grove Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of petition 26-003, the final planned development (final PD) for 391 Capital Drive, which would allow a duplex on a lot previously designated in the Waterford Place PUD. Staff summarized the request, noting the site is zoned R-3 (medium-density residential) and that a prior 2024 ordinance amended the PUD to allow a duplex use.
Staff said the applicant requested a single deviation to reduce the required rear-yard setback from 30 feet to 15 feet; engineers reviewed the driveway curb width and determined the existing 21.17-foot curb is an existing condition acceptable if the village engineers approve a long-term maintenance plan for permeable pavers. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions: (1) village engineers must approve final engineering plans prior to village board action, (2) structure columns on each side of the garages must use 4-inch real brick, and (3) a long-term maintenance plan for permeable-paver driveways must be submitted and approved.
The applicant, who identified himself as the property owner, answered commissioners’ questions about grading, driveway slope, tree lines and sightlines at the Bliss and Capital corner. After commissioner discussion, a motion to forward the planning commission’s recommendation for approval to the village board carried 4–0, with the specified conditions adopted by the commission.
