Plainfield Housing Development Plan Moves Forward
Proposal calls for 183 single-family homes.
Plainfield trustees on Monday gave the OK for the village attorney to draft an ordinance that will allow the annexation of 79 acres in Kendall County into the village.
The property, located north of Walker, east of Ridge and west of County Line roads, would become the site of three distinct neighborhoods of 183 single-family homes under a proposal by TMJ Investments. The site is west of the Springbank development and north of Walker Point.
On Monday, village planner Michael Garrigan told Plainfield trustees that the homes would comply with village design standards.
Applicant TMJ Investments doesn't yet have a builder on board for the project.
The same group is behind the Grande Park subdivision in Plainfield, attorney John Philipchuck told the board.
Under the proposal, the village would initially waive impact fees on the development. However, TMJ has agreed to a five-year "sunset clause" on the waiver. If the project is not under development within five years of the approval of an annexation agreement, all applicable impact fees would have to be paid.
