Courtesy Review for Potential Development of 36 Townhomes on Block G at Northwest Corner of Route 22 and Old Rand Road
Summary: Mr. Greg Schwermer, in partnership with Ryan Homes, is proposing the construction of 36 new townhomes contained within nine buildings on the northwest corner of Route 22 and Old Rand Road, adjacent to the Canadian National railway. The proposed three-story townhouse units will have square footages ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 square feet per unit and designed with three bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths and attached two-car garages. Each unit is proposed to be marketed in the range of $300,000 - $375,000.
The property is currently zoned within the B2 central business district and also the DR Downtown Redevelopment Overlay District, which provides for special regulations that address the higher density and mix of uses within the core of the community. The proposed townhouse land use is allowed only as a Special Use.
Ryan Homes is not seeking any financial assistance from the village. However, they are requesting a donation of the 16,250 square foot village-owned parcel at the northwest corner of the property to accommodate a regional detention facility.
Recommended Action: Staff recommends the Village Board provide feedback on the proposed land use and highlight any further areas of concern to the developer.
Community Development Director Sarosh Saher introduced Scott Shelton and Andrew Mouw, Ryan Homes representatives, who then gave a PowerPoint presentation on the proposed 36 townhomes development. The Board's questions on sound proofing, exterior materials, landscaping and previous developments were answered by the presenters. Owner of the property, Greg Schwermer, addressed the Board, on their request, and mentioned the many attempts to develop the land. Feedback was given by the Board for this courtesy review.
