Summary
The Board approved Lennar’s plan for Pod 9 in Talamore — 97 age‑targeted single‑family homes and 82 townhomes on ±118 acres — subject to engineering, stormwater, landscaping, buyer disclosure and dedication conditions recommended by the Plan Commission.
The Village Board unanimously approved an ordinance April 27 rezoning and granting preliminary plat and preliminary Planned Unit Development approval for Pod 9 of the Talamore subdivision, a roughly 118‑acre development proposed by Lennar.
Director Charles Nordman summarized the proposal to construct 97 age‑targeted single‑family homes and 82 two‑story townhome units. The single‑family lots generally mirror existing Andare product dimensions with average lot sizes around 9,076 square feet; the townhome buildings are proposed as four‑, five‑ and six‑unit buildings each with attached front‑facing two‑car garages. The plan also provides land for a future Algonquin Road extension and includes landscaping buffers and a stormwater basin with a multi‑use path and seating.
Public testimony at the Plan Commission hearing raised concerns about whether dedications and future roadway configurations would create impacts for the adjacent Oakcrest Estates subdivision. In response, the petitioner modified the preliminary plans to increase the dedication for Outlot G from 160 feet to 180 feet to provide greater flexibility for a future Algonquin Road alignment. The Plan Commission recommended approval 7‑0 with conditions that include compliance with Village engineering standards, Huntley Fire Protection District requirements, final engineering revisions, Illinois drainage law, dedication of Outlot G, finalized landscape maintenance terms, buyer disclosure to purchasers of certain lots regarding a future Algonquin Road, and enhanced side and rear elevations for the homes and townhomes.
The Board approved the ordinance 6‑0 (mover: Trustee Niko Kanakaris; second: Trustee Harry Leopold), subject to the Plan Commission’s stated conditions. Staff said the petitioner must return with a final plat and final PUD application for subsequent Plan Commission and Village Board consideration.
The Board’s approval preserves a range of design and engineering review steps to ensure compliance with public‑works and stormwater standards prior to issuance of building permits.
