A. Ordinance Granting Approval of a Planned Unit Development, Amendment to
the Ofhcial Zoning Map, Preliminary Plat, Development Concept plan, Special
Use Permits and Modihcations to the Zoning and Land Development Code for
a Residential Subdivision Known as Meadow Wood East Ord. #2025-01-600
Summaryi Applicants Mr. Mike Naumowicz with Mr. Kirk Rustman requests
approval to amend their petition for a Planned Unit Development associated
with the subdivision known as Meadow Wood East located at Manchester
Road. The PZC had recommended approval of the petition at the conclusion of
their public hearing process on October 16, 2024.
This request is provided as an amendment to the report discussed at the
January 6, 2025 Village Board meeting. The application was continued to allow
the developer to address issues raised by the Village Board regarding the
impacts on the existing residential neighborhood to the south.
The Applicant has submitted a revised site plan to address the Village Board’s
questions. Changes include repaving Manchester Road; improving storm water
management in compliance with current Lake County requirements; adding a
six-foot high composite fence with landscaping to screen the residences to the
Village 0f Lake Zurich Board 0f Trustees Regular Meeting. Monday, February 3rd, 2025. 4
south, and building new h0mes with designs focusing 0n energy efficiency and
sustainability.
After reaching out to area builders and developers, the Applicant determined
that building the homes themselves was the best approach to controlling
design consistency and scheduling. The Applicant provided five (5) new single-
family models to be offered for construction on the 15 lots. Aspect Design Inc.
has been retained for their architectural services to work with potential buyers
to finalize the design of each home, prepare permit documents and coordinate
construction until completion. The designs for the models are attached with
their proposal.
The Applicant proposes completing the site work and road resurfacing within
two years of the issuance of the Site Improvement Engineering Permits. The
Applicant then anticipates completing the construction of the 15 new single-
family homes within two years after the completion of the site improvements.
The approval ordinance has been updated to reflect the changes to the development
proposed by the Applicant as reflected in the conditions for approval. For reference,
the updated conditions for approval of the PUD are reiterated below.
Dir. Of Community Development Sarosh Saher introduced Mike Naumowicz and
Kirk Rustman, developers and Jeffrey Letzter of Aspect Design Inc. Mr.
Naumowicz gave a brief PowerPoint update on the changes and Mr. Letzter
highlighted the five designs being presented. Mayor Poynton asked about the
possibility of having the maj ority of ranch homes of the 15 lots. Mr. Letzter stated
that the exteriors designs of ranch homes can be modified to avoid “look alike”.
The developers were asked about start date, conclusion time, price line, basements,
contacting neighbours. Mike Naumowicz stated that they will start on
infrastructure, prices will be $600k + , have 24 months from issuance of 1“ permit,
there will be walkout basements. Dir. Saher assured the Board that the same design
is avoided being repetitive.
Recommended Action: A motion was made by Trustee Spacone, seconded by
Trustee Riley, to approve Ord. #2025‘01'600 Granting a Planned Unit
Development for the Residential Subdivision Meadow Wood East.
