Site plan for West Point Center approved with staff conditions; members raise concern over removed amenities
Summary
The committee approved a site-plan review for the third PUD amendment to West Point Center at 460 Marina Lane—covering assisted-living memory care, Silverstone assisted living, and 55+ apartments—subject to multiple staff conditions; members expressed concern that previously approved amenities such as a pool and most pickleball courts were removed.
The Site Plan Review Committee approved the site plan review for the third requested amendment to the West Point Center Planned Unit Development at 460 Marina Lane, contingent on the Village Board approving the PUD amendment. The site plan covers a CBRF memory-care facility, a Silverstone assisted-living building and a 55+ apartment building (without a supportive-housing designation).
Aaron, a village staff member, reviewed the site plan and exterior elevations, noted approved materials (stone, board-and-batten siding of LP-type material) and listed staff conditions: curb treatment for parking areas, screening of rooftop/ground-mounted mechanical units visible from rights-of-way, engineered wood or cement board siding (lap siding limited to 25% of any elevation), stormwater-pond maintenance and an updated stormwater management plan, a grading revision along the north property line to include a swale to keep runoff on-site, indication of sanitary sewer holding tank/grease-trap locations as required, and fire-safety requirements including a storage‑type fire-department connection on the front address side, Knox key boxes mounted within 5 feet of grade and within 5 feet of the front main entrance, and private fire-hydrant siting standards. Aaron also referred to continuing obligations to remain in compliance with the Department of Natural Resources voluntary party liability exemption for closed case number 0605343470.
Committee members noted the original site plan included amenities such as a pool, grilling areas and multiple pickleball courts that were removed in later amendments. The committee chair said, “So I have issues with that,” expressing concern about the absence of amenities; committee members discussed that the Site Plan Review Committee’s purview is building materials and site details and that amenities or PUD-level standards could be revisited by the Plan Commission or Village Board. Staff cautioned that approving the site plan in advance of an adopted PUD ordinance amendment could be premature and that if the Planning Commission or Village Board adopt different requirements, the site plan may have to return to the committee for revisions.
A motion to approve the site plan with staff conditions was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. Because the PUD ordinance amendment remains subject to Plan Commission and Village Board action, the site plan will take effect only if the Village Board approves the requested third amendment. If the Village Board adopts differing requirements, the applicant may need to return to Site Plan Review to finalize required changes.
