Board signals support to pursue vacating Oakmont Drive reservation; developer to pay survey and plat costs
Summary
Trustees expressed support for considering a request from Bolinsky (represented by John Donovan) to abandon a future Oakmont Drive reservation to allow home construction without corner‑lot setbacks; staff and trustees asked the developer to fund surveys and to return a resolution and public‑hearing plan.
The Village Board indicated it is willing to consider a developer’s request to abandon a future road reservation for the stub at the east end of Oakmont Drive in the Lake Bluff subdivision.
Jason described the location (between lots 42 and 43), said the village accepted the recent infrastructure for phase three and that the requested reservation was not constructed in the latest phase. John Donovan, representing Bolinsky, told trustees the change would remove corner‑lot setback constraints and facilitate planned houses; Bolinsky would perform surveys, amend plats and pay associated costs.
Staff and the village consultant raised no immediate objections, though the village emphasized the formal process requires a resolution and public hearing and that any vacation would be memorialized so future ambiguity is avoided. Trustees directed staff to prepare the resolution and public‑hearing schedule; Bolinsky will cover the technical and legal costs of the vacation process.
