Title
Public Information Meeting - Knesley Subdivision Plat Amendment and Subdivision Modification Request, Shields Township - District 15.
Staff Summary
• Proposed plat amendment and subdivision modification request for Knesley Subdivision, located on the south side of Quassey Avenue, approximately 540 feet west of US Highway 41 and 0.36 miles north of Rockland Road, Shields Township.
• The subdivision and surrounding area is zoned R-3, as single-family residential.
• The applicant is pursuing a plat amendment to reconfigure an existing lot in the Knesley Subdivision to accommodate an additional building site. The proposed building site design will incorporate additional engineered site improvements designed to improve drainage in the vicinity of the subject property.
• Concurrently, the applicant is requesting a subdivision modification to allow the new building site access to the private portion of Quassey Avenue. Section 151.190(B)(1) of the Lake County Code prohibits private drives from serving more than three lots; the private portion of Quassey Avenue provides access to nine single family residences.
• This is a public information meeting; thus no action will be taken. The proposed plat amendment and subdivision modification request will be acted on at a subsequent Planning, Building and Zoning committee meeting.
