The commission approved the Final Plat of Northern Reach with conditions requiring stormwater and sanitary easements, trail/conservancy dedications, a northwest corner reserved for a future park with 20‑foot access, outlots along Glendale Avenue until utilities are available, and cluster mailbox approvals by Village Engineering.

The Plan Commission unanimously approved the Final Plat of Northern Reach on June 8, imposing seven conditions intended to coordinate utilities, stormwater management and future public amenities.
