Rothschild board approves Cedar Creek Haven final plat, 6–1

The Village of Rothschild Board on Sept. 8 approved the final plat for Cedar Creek Haven, a mixed-use residential subdivision proposed by A&D Contractors, LLC, in a 6–1 vote.

Zoning Coordinator Rebekka Borchardt told the board the final plat, located adjacent to Eagle Nest Boulevard and Calumet Street, proposes zero-lot-line twin homes, single-family homes, townhomes and a commercial office. She said all lots exceed the C-1U minimum 5,000-square-foot lot area and 50-foot frontage, street ROWs are shown at 60 feet with 32-foot pavement widths, sidewalks are planned, and utility easements and hydrants are included.

On stormwater, Borchardt reported the plan demonstrates compliance with NR 151 and village ordinances, including an 83% total suspended solids (TSS) reduction (the plan requires ≥80%), peak-flow management "to the maximum extent practicable," and provision of about 97% of the required infiltration volume. She said the site is outside the FEMA 100-year floodplain and that wetlands were identified on a parcel to the north outside the plat boundary. Borchardt recommended approval subject to standard conditions and further engineering review.

The board’s approval is conditioned on: payment of a $4,000 parkland dedication fee; submission of updated title work confirming easements and encumbrances; execution of a developer’s agreement and posting of financial guarantees; final engineer review and incorporation of recommendations on construction and stormwater plans; recording deed restrictions for the zero-lot-line units; proof of Department of Administration submittal and Certificate of No Objection; and payment of outstanding review and recording fees. The village attorney also provided clarifications to deed-restriction language and definitions that staff will finalize with the developer before recording.

Bill Schremp moved to approve the plat subject to the zoning coordinator’s recommendations and deed restrictions and authorized the village administrator to work with the developer on the road name; Paul Kennedy seconded. The motion carried 6–1, with Trustee Louella Luedtke recorded as the lone opposed vote. The board noted that final engineering review and sign-off must occur before the plat can be signed and recorded.

The approval advances the subdivision to the developer agreement and construction-plan review stage; detailed items such as driveway layouts, landscaping, lighting and trail construction will be resolved through subsequent construction plans and permits.
