Village Approves TID Amendments and Creation of Two New Tax Increment Districts
The Board of Trustees approved resolutions related to Tax Increment Districts (TIDs). Resolution 7A amends the project plan and boundaries of TID number nine, allowing for the transfer of $5.9 million in excess revenue to TID number six. Resolution 7B amends the project plan for TID number 12, designating it as a donor district and proposing to transfer $4.2 million in tax increment to TID six. Resolution 7C creates a new TID, number 20, around the former Coals Facility off Bridgewood Drive for its redevelopment into an industrial use. Resolution 7D creates TID 21 at the northeast corner of Lilly Road and Main Street for the redevelopment of a vacant lot, which requires significant soil movement and retaining walls.
Village Board Denies Conditional Use Permit for 80-Foot Cell Tower in Village Center
The Village Board of Trustees considered a request for a conditional use permit by Derek McGrew Cellulose LLC to install a new wireless communication facility. The proposed site is at N89W16785 Appleton Avenue in the C2 Community Business Zoning District with the OVC Village Center overlay. The Plan Commission and Architectural Control Board had previously recommended denial of the application. Several residents spoke in opposition, citing concerns about the tower's height, aesthetic impact on the historic village center, potential negative effects on property values, and health concerns. The applicant, ATT, and its legal counsel presented a revised 'stealth' tower design and argued for the need for improved cell coverage, presenting letters of support from residents and businesses. They also highlighted state law limitations on regulating tower height and aesthetics. After extensive discussion about the new design's suitability and its presentation to the board, the board ultimately voted to deny the conditional use permit.
