Summary
The Village Board approved a zoning amendment to change the parcel at 213 South Fourth Avenue from R-2 to R-1 after the Plan Commission recommended approval 8–1; the change aligns the parcel's zoning with anticipated single-family uses following demolition of a prior structure.
The Village Board voted to approve a zoning amendment petition to reclassify the property at 213 South Fourth Avenue from R-2 to R-1.
The Zoning and Code Enforcement Officer presented the petition, noting the Plan Commission on July 28 recommended approval by an 8–1 vote. The presenter said a single-family home had existed on the parcel before the village acquired and demolished the structure; the rezoning would “define the zoning classification to match the future permitted uses of the parcel,” the officer said.
Trustees moved and seconded the measure; a roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed. The meeting record did not identify construction plans for the lot; the presenter said no permits will be issued until utility companies sign off and legally terminate rights to any affected easements. The record did not specify a proposed buyer, developer, or construction timeline.
The board's action changes the parcel's zoning classification to align with single-family residential uses as described by municipal staff.
