JM3 Design asks Robbins to verify pins, seeks to buy land for affordable housing

Village of Robbins Mayor and Board of Trustees · May 13, 2024

Summary

JM3 Design told the board it seeks 10 additional development pins (beyond an earlier 30) for an affordable-housing proposal with a target price of $200,000 or less and a minimum unit size of 1,000 sq. ft., and asked to purchase village land rather than lease it; trustees requested verification to avoid conflicts with other projects.

The board reviewed an expired contract with JM3 Design and heard a request for changes to a development plan. The company (recorded in the minutes as JM3 Design; no individual was named) told trustees it previously received 30 pins and now seeks 10 additional pins to support an affordable-housing project. The minutes record that JM3 wants to buy village land outright rather than lease it and that the project would target units priced at $200,000 or less with minimum sizes near 1,000 square feet.

Trustees expressed concern about a land sale and asked for verification of the pins in question to ensure they do not conflict with other village projects. Mayor Darren E. Bryant advised that verification must be completed before the board would advance the proposal.

Why it matters: Requests to reallocate or sell municipal land and to extend development pins can affect local planning and housing outcomes; trustees signaled caution and asked for verification before any transfer or change.

The minutes do not record a board vote approving a land sale or additional pins at this meeting.
