Village approves rezoning of narrow Penny Lane strip to allow consolidation with adjacent lots
Summary
The board approved ordinance 16-26 to rezone tax parcel 180500310001 from RM-1 (multifamily) to RD-1 (single-family) after a public hearing; the applicant seeks to consolidate a roughly 25‑foot‑wide strip with neighboring single‑family lots to permit conveyance.
After a public hearing, the Village of Belgium board approved ordinance 16‑26 to rezone tax parcel 180500310001 from RM‑1 (multifamily residence) to RD‑1 (single‑family residential). The Chair explained the rezoning will allow the narrow strip to be consolidated with adjacent single‑family properties and that the village would realize no direct gain or loss from the change.
A resident asked for a description of the land; a board member described it as "a very thin strip 25 feet wide that runs along the east side of Penny Lane," noting it had once been an easement to Farmers Fields and that the owner wants to convey the piece so it can be combined with neighboring lots. The board closed the public hearing, heard the planning commission recommendation to approve, and then voted in favor of the ordinance.
The rezoning was discussed as a technical step to enable a single conveyance rather than to create new lots; the board did not discuss changes to utilities, services or density beyond the zoning classification.
