On Monday, January 13, the Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission considered and approved a Conditional Preliminary Plat for the proposed 41 single-family lot subdivision to be known as Creekside Terrace. Dan Szczap, of Bear Development LLC, requested on behalf of Creekside Investments LLC, owners of the property north of the current Creekside Circle development. Creekside Circle is located off 91st Street, between 62nd Avenue and 66th Avenue in Pleasant Prairie.
The original conceptual plan for the development at Creekside was introduced to the Plan Commission in January 2019. After months of re-evaluation and recreating multiple drawing options, in March 2019, the Plan Commission recommended a plan to the Village Board that worked for both the developer and the Creekside Crossing residents.
The Conditional Preliminary Plat approval allows the remaining 47.5 acres of vacant land within Creekside Crossing to be re-developed into 41 single-family lots. The average lot size in the subdivision will be 17,810 square feet. A majority of the lots will be adjacent to open space, retention basins, or wetlands. This single-family development requires the construction of 62nd Avenue and the remainder of Creekside Circle. The Developer, at the developer’s cost, plans to install public utilities and build the roadways to service all 41 lots. The current plat places a cul-de-sac at the end of 62nd Avenue. Although, if wetlands are allowed to be filled by permit, 62nd Avenue could continue north, and 89th Street could extend east to create additional access to the subdivision.
Improvements are currently under construction for The Vista apartment project that will connect to the Creekside Terrace subdivision. The project developer has agreed to install public sidewalks within Creekside Crossing, to provide interior connections along Creekside Circle that complete neighborhood blocks and eliminate paths that dead end. The developer also intends to donate funds to the Village to add playground equipment in Creekside Park. The Creekside Terrace project intends to help meet the housing demand needs of the community as the Village continues to develop.
