Planning Board Meeting
December 23, 2025

CEO John Baker mentioned this meeting is to approve or not approve the rezoning and has
nothing to do with Site plan approval as that would need to have its own Public Hearing and
would also need to have the Village Boards approval. He also mentioned that Mr. Beatty could
build 4 single family homes on the lot without any rezoning but would rather do rental units.

Member Greg Keyser questioned if the Health Care Overlay could come into play and what
effect that might have. He explairied that it means any type of medical office such as Dentist or
Chiropractor office could go in later so he would like to get some clarification from the Village
Zoning map before making any decision tonight on the rezone.
He does agree that this would meet the Villages Comprehensive Plan for additional housing but
feels the size of the unit may not aesthetically fit in the neighborhood and asked Mr. Beatty ifhe
would consider two smaller units?

Mr. Beatty said one unit would allow more green space and to keep in mind this drawing is only
to get an idea of what it could look like. He said it will not be a big square box but will have nice
siding and will aesthetically fit in with the rest of the neighborhood.

Chairman Muhlbauer asked if anyone in the audience would like to come forward for public
comment at this time.

Kristine Klein came up and said she has lived on the street for about four years across from the
vacant lot and has concerns about an apartment building going there. She feels it would create a
lot more traffic and wonders how it would affect the water and sewer. She enjoys looking out at
the green space and doesn’t think it will fit in the neighborhood. She mentioned she only found
out about it by seeing the yellow sign announcing the public hearing laying in the snow as the
wind blew over, so she got the word out to her neighbors.

Chairman Muhlbauer asked what she feels would be acceptable to which she replied to a single
family dwelling.
