Summary

Ken Peach told trustees he represents a property owner seeking to finalize a plat for 34 acres east of I-394 (rezoned to M-2) and requested a 20-minute meeting; he offered to pay up to $2,500 toward attorney costs to complete the process.

Ken Peach addressed the board to request a meeting with village leadership and their staff to finalize platting and development of a 34-acre parcel east of I-394, which he said had previously been rezoned to M-2. Peach said the property owner asked him to represent them and that they were willing to pay up to $2,500 to retain an attorney to help complete the process. He requested roughly 20 minutes to meet with village officials in the next few days.

Clerical staff agreed that an assistant would arrange the requested meeting. The board did not take formal action during the meeting but acknowledged the request and indicated staff would follow up to schedule the one-on-one meeting and to ensure any attorney involvement is consistent with village procedures.

Why it matters: Completing platting and related legal steps is a prerequisite for development and construction; the offer to pay for attorney assistance is a practical step to expedite the process but any legal representation for village business must be handled consistent with village policy.
