Commission told ADU rules have been adopted; no formal applications yet
Summary
Staff reported that the village board adopted the plan commission's recommended ordinances enabling accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and updating the housing definition; a handful of residents expressed interest but no ADU applications had been filed as of the meeting.
Commissioners received an update that ordinances the plan commission recommended — including provisions allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and an updated housing definition — were adopted by the village board.
Director Griero said the ordinances "did pass at the village board level" and noted staff had received a handful of inquiries from residents and a few who engaged architects, but no formal ADU permit applications had been submitted.
Commissioners discussed that some related inspections and review steps (for basements and bedroom definitions) would be handled by building-inspection staff rather than planning. Staff asked residents to report any roadblocks encountered so staff can track and report back to the commission.
No action was taken; staff will monitor application activity and report any implementation issues to the commission.
