Commission approves certified survey map for Inspire Prairie Springs redivision (CSM 3)
Summary
The Plan Commission approved Certified Survey Map (CSM) No. 3 to further redivide Parcel 1 of the Inspire Prairie Springs project; parcels 1 and 2 are set to be sold to Conservation Education LLC and — because two parcels lie within TID 11 — a memorandum of understanding and later consolidation after TID closure were described at the meeting.
The Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission approved Certified Survey Map (CSM) No. 3 for the Inspire Prairie Springs development, a further redivision of previously approved parcels intended to support phased development and conservation transfers.
Rob, village staff, said CSM 3 would create four parcels by redividing Parcel 1 of the earlier CSM. He described Parcel 1 as roughly a tenth of an acre (an access easement), Parcel 2 as about 6.7 acres largely within a primary environmental corridor that includes wetlands and woodlands, and Parcel 3 as about 30 acres to be retained for phase 1 of the Inspire Prairie Springs development. Rob said Parcels 1 and 2 would be sold to Conservation Education LLC, and explained the parcels' locations relative to Tax Increment District (TID) 11.
Rob told the commission that because some parcels are within TID 11 and others are outside it, village ordinances restrict combining parcels across the TID boundary after certain dates. He said if parcels are not combinable due to TID provisions and are nevertheless developed as a single development, the owner must indicate that intent on future applications and keep the parcels under single ownership until the TID closes; upon TID termination the owner must combine the parcels into one tax parcel number at the owner’s expense.
Commissioners asked whether nearby uses — including a shooting range and a hunt club to the east — had been disclosed to future residents. Jake Greenberg, an applicant representative, said the application packet includes a map of adjacencies that was provided to Halter’s Wildlife and the adjacent conservancy and that packet materials will be given to tenants as part of a documents package (the information will not be placed in leases). A commissioner said that disclosure was important to avoid repeated police calls for shots fired.
A motion to approve the certified survey map was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Rob said a memorandum of understanding intended to record the transfer and requirements should be executed and recorded following transfer of parcels 1 and 2.
