Developer presents feasibility study for land east of Georgetown, requests village review
Summary
A land developer representing property owners presented a feasibility study for development east of Georgetown, asking village staff and counsel to review street and building standards (the developer said his copy of the regulations is 26 years old). He requested a follow-up meeting with staff before spending money on infrastructure design.
A land developer appearing during public comment said he had prepared a feasibility study—commissioned by property owners—about potential development east of Georgetown and asked the village to review applicable street and building standards.
The presenter said he had obtained a packet of regulations from a source he identified as "Mike Click," which the presenter described as 26 years old. "I've read all these regulations regarding street building, and I need to find out if anything's been changed, or is this still it?" he asked the council. He told the council he and the property owners needed guidance so they would not spend money on design before confirming current village requirements.
The chair and staff agreed to arrange follow-up: the developer and village staff discussed scheduling a meeting later in the week for staff to review the submitted materials. A staff member said the village office is open Monday through Thursday and suggested a meeting day; the developer said he wanted to "start the ball somewhere" and thanked staff for coordinating.
The presenter identified himself as a land developer with prior experience building roads and subdivisions and noted he had constructed projects in other counties. He asked whether the developer was asked by the village to prepare the study; the council clarified that the study had been commissioned by property owners and not the village. The council did not make any commitments to change regulations during the meeting; it directed staff to review the materials and follow up.
