Plan Commission approves preliminary PDD and plat for Pamperin Place to extend infrastructure

The Village of Howard Plan Commission on March 18 approved a preliminary Planned Development District (PDD) and a preliminary plat for Pamperin Place, a proposed single‑family subdivision along Shawano Avenue across from the Spencer’s Crossing development.

Planning staff reported updated plans were distributed the day of the meeting that revised the road layout to better align with the Village’s official map and connectivity expectations. Geoff Farr, representing village engineering staff, told commissioners the revised plan conforms to the area development plan but still requires additional stormwater and engineering considerations.

Dave Wiese said the Pamperin Place project is an important component for extending sewer, water and regional stormwater infrastructure in the area and that timely review was necessary to maintain the project’s construction schedule. The commission approved the preliminary PDD (motion by Dan Kussow, second by Mike Soletski) and separately approved the preliminary plat conditioned on reconfiguring the road layout to meet the Village’s official map and satisfying engineering conditions identified by staff (motion by Ellery Gulbrand, second by Randy Smith). Both motions carried unanimously.

Next steps include the developer addressing engineering and stormwater comments, confirming CBU (cluster mailbox unit) placement and easement locations as required by engineering staff, and coordinating final roadway geometry with the Village official map before final plat submittal.
