OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
The Olde Mill Subdivision and Olde Mill Addition were approved as single family residential subdivisions near 108th Avenue and Deer Point Road. In 1999, the Olde Mill Subdivision was approved for 42 single family lots. In 2002, the Village Board approved the Olde Mill Addition for 17 lots to 22 lots on 9.51 acres, depending on final stormwater detention designs. Overall, the revised site plan was approved for 64 lots in 2006.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The petitioner proposes to consolidate lot 52 (10700 Deer Trail Court) and lot 53 (10716 Deer Trail Court) of the Olde Mill Addition Phase III into a single lot to increase the side yard area and accommodate future accessory structures for the existing single-family home on lot 53. Future accessory structures may be located on lot 52, which is currently vacant. The consolidated lot size will be 26,577 square feet.
The petitioner is proposed minor grading changes to create a more level area on lot 52. The utility and drainage easement for both lots, which measures a total of 15 feet wide, will remain as is between the properties to accommodate a possible re-subdivision of the lots in the future
The total number of lots in the Olde Mille Addition, and therefore single family homes, will be reduced from 22 to 21. The proposed lot consolidation does not significantly alter the approved subdivision density.
The recommendation motion includes the following conditions:
1) That the petitioner submit a Record Plat of Subdivision to the Village for recording.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
Additional details about the project are discussed in the Plan Commission report, which is attached for reference.

The residents expressed concerns about the project, including the possibility of creating a private park, future noise issues, and the type of proposed accessory structures (such as a tennis court or basketball court).
