Village Board approves zoning amendment, two subdivision final plats and Green Tree Farm development agreement
Summary
At its March 4 meeting the Village Board approved Ordinance No. 3-6-26 (a Chapter 550 land-use matrix amendment), final plats for Green Tree Farm and Arbor Haven V subdivisions, and a development agreement for Green Tree Farm, after staff discussion of accountability and bonding.
The Village Board on March 4 approved a zoning ordinance amendment, two final subdivision plats and a related development agreement as the village continues to process residential growth proposals.
The board approved Ordinance No. 3-6-26, an amendment to Chapter 550’s land-use matrix, on a motion by Al Tessmann, seconded by Al Haga; the motion carried. That measure changes the village zoning land-use matrix as presented by staff.
The board also approved Resolution 3-5-26, the final plat for Green Tree Farm Subdivision (Green Tree Construction Inc.; Pleasant Drive/CTH R; PIN: 173230826-16.04), on a motion by Adam Raabe, seconded by Al Tessmann. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. Immediately afterward the board approved Resolution 3-6-26, the final plat for Arbor Haven V Subdivision (Classic Development Corp of Plover; Amberwood Way; PIN: 173230825-09.05), on a motion by Al Tessmann, seconded by Al Haga; that approval also carried by unanimous roll call vote.
Staff then presented a Development Agreement for Green Tree Farm Subdivision. Village staff member Adam DeKleyn reviewed the document and explained that municipalities commonly title these documents "Developer’s Agreement" rather than "Memorandum of Understanding"; discussion focused on how the agreement holds developers accountable and how bonding is used as a guarantee of infrastructure work. Joe Terry said the agreement benefits the developer by providing access to public infrastructure. The board approved the Development Agreement on a motion by Adam Raabe, seconded by Al Haga; the motion carried.
The votes recorded in the minutes show the two final-plat resolutions passed by unanimous roll call; other motions are recorded as carried in the meeting minutes but individual tallies for those motions were not included in the transcript.
What happens next: approvals clear the plats and associated agreement to proceed under the terms presented to the board; construction and bonding steps described in the agreement will be managed by village staff as projects move forward.
