Information
The Petitioner
,, Prairie Group LLC,, is proposing to create four residentially zoned lots of record out of one parcel
located at 1200 Prairie Avenue and the north end (0.10 acres) of Prairie Avenue right-of-way (the "Subject Property"
t
The project requires vacating right-of-way,, subdividing the Subject Property,, rezoning the Subject Property, and fron
yard setback variations abutting a proposed cul-de-sac.
The Subject property was zoned RX Single Family Residential when it was annexed into the village in 2004. Newly
annexed properties are zoned RX by default. The Subject Property is surrounded on three sides by R1 residential
property and on the north by duplexes and a multifamily development in Arlington Heights. Staff has reviewed the
proposed R1 zoning classification and believes that the proposal will not have a negative impact to the surrounding
property or neighborhood. The R1 zoning designation is consistent with existing land uses on adjacent property and
the Comprehensive Plan's future land use designation.
The Petitioner is seeking a variation to the front yard setbacks for three proposed residential lots fronting on the
proposed cul-de-sac. The dedicated right-of-way for the cul-de-sac takes as much as forty-five feet (45') away from
the front of the proposed lots, greatly shortening them. Village staff believes that the Petitioner's front yard setback
request complies with the variation standards and is supportive of the request. The proposed cul-de-sac significantly
encroaches into parcels 2,, 3, and 4,, creating shallow development envelopes. The five foot (5') setback reduction will
not create homes that are any closer to the length of Prairie Avenue than existing homes on teh street due to the size
of the cul-de-sac dedication. Front yards not affected by this area will have a standard thirty foot (30') front yard
setback.
The Petitioner seeks to eventually construct four homes on the Subject Property. Building four homes would
conservatively generate more than $32,,000 in annual property taxes on vacant land currently generating only $6,00#
in annual property taxes.
Staff has received written comment from the public voicing concern for a potential increase in flooding in the area as
a result of this development.
