Board delays decision on Reserve at Landon Road rezoning after late traffic study
Summary
The Village Board heard staff and the developer outline a 52‑lot planned residential development on roughly 40 acres but voted unanimously to table the rezoning to the next meeting so the county can review a recently submitted traffic impact analysis and staff can refine Condition 17 about sewer extension.
The Village Board opened a public hearing on a rezoning request to create the Reserve at Landon Road planned residential development, a proposal to rezone roughly 40 acres (about 33 net developable acres) from R‑1 to a PRD for 52 single‑family lots. Staff said the plan and preliminary plat went unanimously to the Plan Commission and the Architectural Control Board and detailed 48 conditions attached to the proposed ordinance; staff recommended a clarified Condition 17 that reads in part: "There is currently no sewer service to the property. The developer shall facilitate the extension of any sanitary sewer connection necessary to serve the development in a manner acceptable to the village and subject to approval by the Department of Public Works before work commences."
Amy (staff) told trustees the developer submitted a traffic impact analysis at the end of the prior week and that the report includes intersection exhibits and a sight‑distance evaluation. The applicant described lot widths of about 90 feet, sidewalks throughout the subdivision and a multiuse path connection along Lannon Road; the applicant said the TIA concluded the proposed buildout would operate within current road capacity. The transcript contains two spellings for the applicant's surname (the staff report and public‑hearing notice name "William Ghentel" while the applicant introduced himself as "William Gentle"); the applicant identified his affiliation as HomePath Financial Limited Partnership.
Public commenters and several trustees expressed concern that the TIA arrived too late for full review and urged the village to obtain a written county response on level‑of‑service and safety upgrades before taking final action. Trustee Paul Tanna moved to table the ordinance to the next meeting to allow the developer to engage the county and for trustees to review the technical memorandum; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The board closed the public hearing; staff noted residents may still submit written comments by email for the record.
The motion to table suspends a final vote and asks the applicant to seek county concurrence on intersection impacts and any recommended safety improvements. If the TIA and county responses are circulated before the next meeting the board will revisit the item, otherwise the board may table again or proceed according to the next meeting's agenda.
