On Monday, October 2, the Pleasant Prairie Village
Board approved the Final Plat for the development of 45 single family
lots to be known as Arbor Ridge. This was originally platted as a
condominium development in 2006, but due to the recession it did not
develop as planned. In December of 2016 the Village Board approved an
amendment to the Prairie Ridge Neighborhood Plan and a Conceptual Plan
for 46 single family lots, with a preliminary plat approval on April 17
of this year. The approval of ordinances #17-49 and #17-50 rezoned the
45 lots into the R-4 Urban Single Family Residential District and the
three outlots into a Park and Recreational District, and the entire
property was rezoned into a Planned Unit Development Overlay (PUD)
District. The PUD ordinance sets forth the type of buildings, their
location and uses throughout the Arbor Ridge Subdivision. The developer
is going to construct all roads as public roadways with water, sanitary,
and storm water mains maintained by the Village.
The Arbor
Ridge single-family development consists of approximately 27 acres. The
single family lots range in size from 10,004 square feet to 24,392
square feet per lot with the average lot size of 15,243 square feet.
According to Bear Development, the developer, there will be a mix of
single and two-story homes with a minimum size of 1,800 square feet. It
is projected that 122 people could live in this subdivision when
complete, 19 projected to be public school aged children based on
projections from the 2010 Census. As part of the PUD and due to the
significant grade changes on some of the lots, there will be specific
ordinances in place such as no above ground fences, outbuildings,
gazebos, sheds, pools, sports courts, playground equipment, trampolines,
swing sets, and plastic storage bins/sheds outside on the lots. Decks
and patios that meet the setback requirement will be allowed, as well as
underground electric fences for dogs. Tree screening will be installed
for privacy. The developer anticipates starting construction in fall
2017 with the project being completed the summer of 2018.
