Bayside board refers One North community‑based residential facility request to Plan Commission amid resident opposition
Summary
The Village of Bayside Board voted Jan. 23 to refer a Plan Commission request for a community‑based residential facility at the One North development to the Plan Commission despite public opposition and one trustee's objection; the motion passed 5–1 (Levins voted No).
The Village of Bayside Board of Trustees voted Jan. 23 to refer a request for a community‑based residential facility at the One North development (Tax Key #022-9002-000) to the Plan Commission after public comment opposed the proposal and a trustee objected.
Three residents spoke during the Citizens and Delegations portion expressing opposition to the One North proposal: Gerry Feldman of 133 E. Glencoe Place, Kari Schmidt of 510 W. Manor Circle, and Mark McCormick of 809 E. Ellsworth Lane. Each speaker made a statement opposing the new proposal at One North; the transcript does not record verbatim quotations from those remarks.
Trustee Elizabeth Levins asked to remove Item Q from the consent agenda and later raised concerns about the One North development while the item was before the board. President Eido Walny warned Trustee Levins to stay on topic, ruled the subsequent comments out of order, and the board proceeded to vote. Motion by Trustee Mike Barth, seconded by Trustee Ben Minkin, to refer the Plan Commission request was approved by a 5–1 vote (Levins voted No). The transcript records the tally but does not list the individual yes votes by name.
Why it matters: referral to the Plan Commission moves formal review of the community‑based residential facility forward in the municipal process, where staff and the commission will have an opportunity to collect more information and hold hearings before any final zoning or permitting decisions. The public comments and a trustee's objection indicate there is community concern that will likely surface again during the Plan Commission review.
What happens next: the matter was officially referred to the Plan Commission for consideration per the board's motion. No additional procedural actions on Item Q were recorded at this meeting.
The board addressed Item Q as part of the consent/regular agenda; President Walny later noted the One North development was "going well" during his report.
