In a recent government meeting, the Village of Lombard discussed a significant annexation request for the Pinnacle at Myers Subdivision, which includes properties located at 1308 through 1330 South Myers Road. The petitioner is seeking approval for an ordinance to annex these properties, with the property at 1308 already within the village's corporate limits.
The meeting saw a divided vote among trustees, with four in favor and two against the annexation. Following this, the Plan Commission recommended several actions regarding the proposed development, which is set to include 24 detached single-family residences.
Key recommendations from the Plan Commission include:
1. A comprehensive plan map amendment changing the designation from Estate Residential to Low Density Residential.
2. A rezone of the property at 1308 South Myers Road from R1 to R2 single-family residence district.
3. Upon annexation, a rezone for the properties at 1312 through 1330 South Myers Road from R0 to R2.
4. Establishment of a new plan development allowing for the construction of the residences, which includes several deviations from existing village standards.
These deviations encompass allowances for increased building height, reduced lot widths, and variations in yard sizes. The development plan also proposes a minimum of 39% open space and includes provisions for landscaping and utility placements.
The discussions reflect ongoing efforts to manage residential growth in Lombard while balancing community standards and development needs. The next steps will involve further evaluations and potential adjustments to the proposed plans as the village moves forward with the annexation and development process.
