THE CROSSINGS CENTER
Moved by Commissioner Goldspiel, seconded by Commissioner Rhodes that the
Plan Commission recommend to the Village Board approval of rezoning from R-1
to B-3 planned shopping center district for the Crossings Center property and
preliminary plan approval in accordance with the plans depicted in
Petitioner's Exhibits 1 through 8 and the following variations:
1. Development Ordinance 16.50.040.C.4 (to not provide a 12-foot wide
sodded area at 2 percent slopes around the top of a retention
pond) .
2. Development Ordinance 16.50.040.C.4 (to use stones smaller than
18-inch diameter as functional rip-rap in the 2:1 sloped area
around a retention pond) .
Recommend subject approval be conditional upon the agreement that there be no
supermarket or other food use in excess of 20,000 square feet.
Discussion:
Commissioner Goldspiel felt the site needs to be rezoned and the plan seems
to be in accordance with the surrounding uses and the existing plan use. He
is satisfied that the general item of commercial use is supportable under the
master plan. This commercial area was taken into account in the master
planning process and the approval of the Town Center He feels the best use
for the property is commercial. Multi-family use is not supportable because
the Village is concerned with being over-built with this use and
configuration of the site does not appear successful for multi-family. There
are a number of office projects in the Village that have been approved but
not built. He feels this does not have an adverse effect on the adjacent
property values. We have had the testimony of traffic experts that traffic
is not a problem. This is in accordance with the master plan.
AYES: Goldspiel, Musfeldt, Rhodes, Silz and Lundine
NAYES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: Davis, Krug and Katz
The motion passed 5 - 0.
