Plan Commission Meeting
The meeting convened to address a public hearing and potential action regarding a conditional use review for a proposed multi-family residential development. The proposal involves constructing five two-story apartment buildings totaling 130 units on approximately 9 acres located at the southeast corner of 4 Mile Road and North Green Bay Road, resulting in a density of 14.4 units per acre. Key discussion points during the public hearing included concerns from residents regarding the high density, potential impact on water supply (specifically well water for neighbors), wildlife displacement, increased demands on public safety services (police and fire), and the character of the neighborhood versus the village's 2035 land use plan. The applicant clarified that the units would be market-rate apartments, not low-income subsidized housing, and that each unit would feature an individual entrance and garage. The commission noted that the review was strictly for the conditional use request concerning buildings larger than eight units, with detailed reviews of traffic impact, landscaping, and site plans scheduled for future meetings upon recommendation to the village board.
