The Plan Commission on July 9 recommended approval of a petition to discontinue (vacate) an unimproved portion of Fundamental Way as part of a development requirement tied to earlier subdivision approvals for the Heyday property.

Rick, village staff, said the petition is signed by the adjacent property owners, including the school district, the Heyday developer, Friends of the Cottage Grove Library and Trowbridge Dental, satisfying the requirement that a majority of frontage owners agree to the vacation. Staff said there is sufficient space to construct necessary circulation and a pedestrian path will connect the residential area to the school driveway area so the vacated segment will not block connectivity.

Commissioner Don moved to recommend approval; Commissioner Alex seconded. The motion carried. Staff said the vacate petition fulfills a requirement in the approved development agreement and village ordinance and that final recording steps will follow.
