Pulte Homes presents Lakeland Meadows plan; Hebron council directs zoning legislation
Summary
Pulte Homes outlined the Lakeland Meadows subdivision plan and Hebron Council voted June 26 to direct the village solicitor to draft legislation to amend zoning to allow a Planned Residential Development, citing buffers, a central playground and phased road connections.
Jim Hilz, a representative of Pulte Homes, presented a plan for the Lakeland Meadows subdivision and Hebron Council voted June 26 to direct the village solicitor to draft legislation to permit a Planned Residential Development.
Hilz said the site is currently zoned R2-Residential and described lot sizes that exceed minimum Planned Residential District requirements, perimeter buffers and a centrally located playground. He said a temporary access drive to Sands Drive is planned for early phases and will be closed when a permanent connection to Canal Road is completed in the third phase; landscaping and mounding will follow the connection.
Hilz also described street and utility plans: streets will be 30 feet wide with the same street lighting used in the nearby Lake Forest subdivision, and the subdivision will connect to the Canal Road lift station rather than the Sunny Acres pump station. He said the village will determine whether an overflow channel is required. During the presentation, Hilz said the plan uses physical devices to keep vehicles from entering protected areas; this was transcribed as 'ballads' and is reported here as bollards (transcription likely erroneous).
Councilmember Randy Wolf asked whether trees would be planted along the south edge of the property. Greg Chillog, part of the Pulte team, said the buffer will include trees, shrubs and some mounding. "The trees will provide a buffer that runs all the way across," Chillog said.
After discussion, Mr. Wolf moved to adopt the Planning & Zoning Board’s recommendation and to direct the village solicitor to draft legislation to amend the zoning to allow the Planned Residential Development; Mr. Carpenter seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken with all councilmembers present voting in favor.
The solicitor will draft the zoning legislation and return it to council for formal consideration; the council action at this meeting was to adopt the board recommendation and initiate the legislative process.
