THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED
Members of the Village Board, Plan Commission and staff would like to thank all of those who participated in and provided input regarding the Barnes Creek Neighborhood Plan. Input regarding three proposed neighborhood plan alternatives was received through: contact with staff, Plan Commissioners and the Village Board; through an online public forum; at an open house style meeting; and during a public hearing.
On Monday, April 13, the Village Plan Commission considered input from land owners, staff and members of the community regarding the three proposed plans. Information regarding the neighborhood and the Village planning process was shared, in addition to a variety of input regarding the three plan alternatives. Staff made a recommendation to the Plan Commission that they forward a recommendation to the Village Board to deny all three of the neighborhood plan alternatives.
The Plan Commission agreed with the staff recommendation and voted to forward a recommendation to the Village Board that each of the three plan alternatives be denied and that staff and the landowners should revisit the three alternatives and determine ways to reduce the density of the residential development that would be allowed within the neighborhood.
Members of the Village Board were also present during the April 13 Plan Commission meeting to hear input from those in attendance. The Village Board will consider the recommendation at the May 18 Village Board Meeting (this issue of the Village Newsletter was sent to the printer on Monday, May 11). Once the Village Board reaches a decision regarding the Barnes Creek Neighborhood Plan, updates will be posted to Open Village Hall.
As work progresses on the neighborhood plan alternatives, staff, at a point in the future, will again present neighborhood plan alternatives before the Plan Commission. Plan Commission Agendas are posted here the Friday prior to each meeting. Plan Commission meetings are typically held on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Auditorium at 9915 39th Avenue.
