Passed by 5-0 voice vote. 5. Items For Action and/or Discussion a) Discussion and Possible Action on the Possible Rezoning of Parcel Discussion and Possible Action on CSM 2026-01. Applicant: Hannah Cholip Agent: Adam Degroot, Parish Survey and Engineering Address: 415 Fredonia Ave; Parcel Numbers 090500506002 and 090500505000 b) Discussion and Possible Action on the Rezoning of Parcel Numbers 090500506002 and 090500505000 from B-1 Business to RS-3 Single Family Residential. Applicant: Hannah Cholip Agent: Adam DeGroot, Parish Survey and Engineering Address: 415 Fredonia Ave Administrator Jenkins stated that the two action items would be handled together. At the January 5, 2026 meeting, the Commission voted to deny Ms. Cholip’s request to rezone her entire parcel from commercial zoning to residential. She has since provided a CSM and a new rezoning request for the smaller lot, with the house, that the CSM creates. Adam Degroot explained the dimensions of the new lot meet the requirements of the RS- 3 Single Family Residential zoning district. The business parcel would be in the back of the lot with a driveway that fronts on Fredonia Ave and meets the requirements of the B-1 Business zoning district. Mr. Degroot said CSM creates a usable residential and usable business parcel. He said the CSM would make it easier for Ms. Cholip to sell either parcel. Administrator Jenkins stated that changing the zoning of either proposed parcel is in conflict with the Village’s Comprehensive Plan and would require the Village to update the plan. Mr. Degroot acknowledged the Commissions desire to maintain a robust business district but noted many residential parcels surrounding the property. Administrator Jenkins clarified the actions requested of the Commission: if they wish to move forward with the rezoning request, the Commission should set a public hearing and then make a recommendation to the Village Board. The Commission will make a recommendation on the CSM after the public hearing. Administrator Jenkins asked Ms. Cholip if she had plans to sell the commercial lot. She does not. Motion to Set a Public Hearing on the Rezoning Request from B-1 Residential to R-S3 Single Family Residential at 415 Fredonia Ave on March 2 nd, 2026 at 7:00PM made by Commissioner Franck. Seconded by Commissioner Winker. Commissioner Winker asked Ms. Cholip’s realtors how they managed to inadvertently sell her a commercial lot. The realtors responded that none of the documentation they had seen referred to the lot as a commercial one. Administrator Jenkins responded strenuously that every single document that went through Village staff to the title company before the sale indicated that the parcel is commercial and could not be used for residential use only. Passed by 5-0 voice vote. 6. Correspondence: none 7. Items for Future Consideration: none 8. Motion to Adjourn made Commissioner Franck. Seconded by Commissioner Weiland. Passed by 5-0 voice vote.
