The Crystal Lake Planning and Zoning Commission is meeting this evening at 7:30 p.m. in the Crystal Lake City Hall, 100 West Woodstock Street.
A public hearing on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Map-- was slated to be heard this evening. That has been continued to the November 2 Commission meeting.
Sage YMCA, 701 Manor Road -- public hearing -- scheduled for this evening has also been continued to November 2 meeting.
Main Street Apartments – East Main Street and N. Congress Parkway—
This is part of a larger tract of land considered for annexation in 2007 and was then referred to as Main Street Crossings. Annexation for this was planned for a development into retail, office and manufacturing for 62 acres divided into five lots along an extended Exchange Drive. Final approval for the project never proceeded to the City Council.,
The property owner has engaged in a tree removal program to better showcase the property. The removal was approved under the City’s tree preservation ordinance.
Owners of the property have been approached to sell a 6.5 acre portion of the land located in the southwest corner of the overall 62 acres. The project will seek Illinois Housing Department Authority approval and finding. A full application is required by December for next year’s funding and zoning approval from the City is one of the application requirements. A full public hearing is slated for November 2 Commission meeting.
The proposed apartment complex would provide a maximum number of 71 units with a proposed density of 10.9 units per acre. The R-3B district permit nine dwelling units per acre unless certain standards are met with the development. Added variations may also be needed.
All the details are scheduled to be provided at the November 2 Commission meeting.
Curran Martial Arts Academy -- 110 Woodstock Street – The Academy is presently located at 221 Liberty Road where they were granted a Special Use Permit in 2008. They are downsizing since their co-tenants at that location moved out of their existing location.
The site they seek to utilize on Woodstock Street is currently occupied by a variety of service, office and manufacturing tenants. The site was rezoned in early 2008 to R-4 to allow for a PUD for a 57-unit townhome development, which has not been constructed and has been granted extensions until 2013.
A use variation is required for the Martial Arts Academy since commercial recreation is not permitted in the R-3B zoning.
