Plan Commission approves 20-unit Willow Grove condominium concept plan

The Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission on Monday approved a conceptual plan for the Willow Grove condominiums, a 20‑unit development proposed for a 6.21‑acre parcel in the Prairie Lake neighborhood.

Rob, village staff presenting the item, said the land-use plan designates the area for upper‑medium‑density residential and that the proposal would place 10 two‑unit ranch‑style condominiums on the vacant lot. "The buildings will be ranch style condominiums," Rob said, noting units would range from roughly 1,600 to 1,700 square feet with two‑ or three‑car attached garages.

Rob told commissioners that a new traffic report prepared in September 2024 and reviewed by Kenosha County found no requirement for southbound left‑turn or northbound right‑turn lanes for the 20‑unit layout, provided the unit count does not increase and 68th Street does not connect to 85th Avenue. He also said wetlands on the site were delineated in 2018 and that a new delineation will be required before consideration of the final condominium plat.

Mark Eberle, the applicant’s agent, introduced developer Dustin Harper and said the team was available to answer questions. Commissioners asked about timing; the applicant and engineering representatives said groundwork would likely begin in the fall at the earliest.

A commissioner said the ranch‑style condominiums would address housing needs for an aging population and moved to approve the concept plan; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

The commission’s approval was for the conceptual plan only; Rob said further technical reviews — including an updated wetland delineation and any required permitting — must be completed before final plat or site approvals. No specific construction start date or final plat schedule was set at the meeting.
