Mayor Mazzulla presents concept plans for Stone Park sports complex, senior housing and new police station
Summary
Mayor Beniamino Mazzulla presented preliminary concept plans for a Stone Park Sports/Entertainment Complex — including a tot lot, dog park, pavilion additions and a proposed four‑story, 60‑unit senior housing building — and a 6,500 sq. ft. police station; the board authorized design proposals and the mayor said he is pursuing grants.
Mayor Beniamino Mazzulla presented the Village Board with final preliminary concept plans for the Stone Park Sports/Entertainment Complex and a proposed new Stone Park Police Station at the Jan. 14 meeting.
The concept for the sports complex covers the entire grounds and, as described by Mazzulla, would include a tot lot for toddlers, a dog park, pavilion additions with additional restrooms to serve the pavilion and soccer field programs, and a proposed four‑story senior housing building with 60 units on roughly 1.5 acres and 74 parking stalls. Mazzulla said the proposed police station would be approximately 6,500 square feet and would mirror the Village Hall in form. He described the plans as preliminary and estimated the overall project would take about four to five years to complete, with construction beginning on the police station. He also said he is pursuing grants to help finance the project.
On the same item, Trustee Loretta J. Teets asked the board to authorize moving forward with proposals from DesignBridge for pavilion additions at the Stone Park Sports/Entertainment Complex. The board approved that request by a show of hands (six ayes, one absent).
The minutes do not include engineering plans, funding commitments, grant sources, zoning approvals, or a firm schedule beyond the four‑to‑five‑year estimate. The mayor stated he is still working on grants to finance the project; specific grant programs were not identified in the minutes.
Next steps noted in the meeting minutes were limited to design authorization and ongoing grant work; no binding financing decisions, contracts, zoning approvals, or construction start dates were recorded at the meeting.
