Plan Commission approves Willow Grove condominium project and related plan changes
Summary
The Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission approved final plats, residential development plans, zoning/PUD text changes and comprehensive-plan amendments for the Willow Grove development — an 18-unit, 6.2-acre condominium proposal that lost two units after wetland permitting.
The Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission voted to approve a package of final approvals for the Willow Grove condominium development, including the final condominium plat and certified survey map, the residential development and public-improvement plans, zoning-map and text amendments to create a planned unit development (PUD), and Plan Commission resolution 26-12 recommending comprehensive-plan amendments.
Planning staff told the commission the project—proposed for property near 88th Avenue and 68th Street—would create nine two-unit buildings (18 units total) on a proposed 6.2-acre lot. Staff said unit sizes would range from 1,626 to 1,691 square feet, and most units would include two-car attached garages while four units would have three-car attached garages. Staff also said wetlands on the property were redelineated in 2024 and that U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Wisconsin DNR permits allowed filling part of the wetland; as a result, two units were removed from the preliminary plat.
During review, staff summarized required public improvements—public roadway, sanitary sewer, stormwater and water systems—to be constructed by the developer and described proposed easement and a tree-preservation area along the eastern property line. A commissioner asked about landscaping and requested additional tree plantings along the street-facing side of the development. Philip Anderson, the developer’s representative, told commissioners the project’s sale price would likely be similar to a nearby development listing "4.9" and said the likely market would be in that range.
The commission approved each item by voice vote: the final plat and certified survey map with a motion moved by Neil Gautormsson and seconded by Terry Rice; the residential development plans moved by John Skalbeck and seconded by Michelle Burnett; zoning and PUD text amendments moved by Michelle Burnett and seconded by Tom Gensner; and Plan Commission resolution 26-12 moved by Neil Gautormsson and seconded by Terry Rice. All four motions passed on voice votes.
Next steps noted by staff: execution of the development agreement following submittal of required exhibits and final plans and any required recording of plats and easements.
