Plan Commission approves administrative appointments, a lot replat hearing and a bond-reduction request
Summary
The Winfield Plan Commission completed 2026 officer appointments, set public hearings for a two primary-plat matters (including a simple lot combination) and approved a recommendation to reduce a performance bond for Grand Ridge Phase 3; staff announced stormwater manual revisions tied to MS4 status.
At the start of the session the commission completed organizational business for 2026: commissioners nominated and approved John Derwinsky as president, Mark Nelson as vice president and Tim Clayton as secretary. The commission also voted to retain Ashen Kyper Deciditis PC as its legal counsel and appointed Jim Hick as the commission27s representative to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
The commission set a public hearing for March 19 for the primary-plat approval that accompanies Heron Landing (PC2025-12). It also set a public hearing the same date for a simple replat (PC2026-02) to combine an adjacent lot into one parcel at 10735 Grand Boulevard; Daniel Brener Gast (Dan) described the matter as a routine lot combination with no zone change required.
On financial matters staff recommended and the commission approved a performance-bond reduction for Grand Ridge Phase 3 to the ordinance cap of 30 percent. The meeting record included a numeric figure spoken on the record that was garbled in the transcript; staff indicated the ordinance caps reductions at 30 percent and that an inspection and subsequent maintenance-period work would follow standard procedure.
Staff also reported it will seek minor revisions to the town27s stormwater design manual to align with Lake County guidance following the town27s designation as an MS4. Commissioners suggested a minor agenda reorder for the March meeting and closed routine business.
