Developer presents six large-lot single-family concept with 'toy barn' allowances
Summary
A developer proposed six large-lot single-family lots on the McCoy property with optional rear 'toy barns' for private storage; trustees expressed support but asked for covenants and engineering details to prevent detached outbuildings from becoming business spaces.
The board reviewed a concept plan from a developer for the McCoy property: six single-family lots on roughly 7.7 acres, with home footprints drawn at about 2,400 square feet and an option for rear "toy barns" sized to match home aesthetics. The developer said the homes would be high-end, with brick fronts and the potential for owners to build larger detached storage structures for vehicles or hobbies, but not to operate a business from those outbuildings.
Trustees discussed covenant language and enforcement to prevent detached structures from turning into commercial operations. Planning staff noted that village business-license rules already prohibit home-occupation businesses from operating from detached outbuildings and that the village would require covenants and engineering work as the project moves toward annexation and zoning.
