A public hearing is scheduled to take place this evening at 7:30 p.m. before the Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission regarding zoning for a Planned Unit Development to be located on the northwest corner of Randall Road and Miller Road.
The proposed project includes 92 townhome units with two-car garages all arranged along the public extension of Carlemont Drive. Although the property has frontage along Randall Road there is no direct access to that road. Links are being provided to Miller and Village Roads, which are under the jurisdiction of the City of Crystal Lake. The developer also plans general commercial lots in the proposed development.
This property was included in the 1987 Villages Residential and Commercial Development plan and was to be residential development. Later a shopping center was planned for the property but never developed, reportedly due to requirements set by the McHenry County Highway Department.
Senior Living Near Post Office
Another multi-family use of property in Crystal Lake is also to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission tonight. It is property located on Congress Parkway and planned for senior housing. Plans for the four-story building proposed for location across Congress Parkway from Health Bridge and next to the proposed Camelot School on its east side, received comments at the May 5 Commission meeting. The project proposal is for 100 units on the five acres with similar density to Sunrise Assisted Living and Bickford Cottage.
The proposed building is four stories with the first floor providing a parking garage. The developers expressed the desire to locate here due to the surrounding facilities in place involving medical offices and its location near shopping facilities.
The Planning Commission expressed concerns regarding the architectural view with regard to use of brick and those changes are to be considered at tonight's meeting.
Regional Sports Center
A public hearing is also scheduled tonight for an amendment to a Planned Unit Development held by Ridgefield Sport Complex in order to hold dog agility competition events on the property. The change came about because these events were held on the property causing parking problems along Ridgefield Road. The issue is to be resolved with the plan including parking facilities.
