The Village at Chicago Park approved for development
By Scott Rogers • February 28, 2014
Earlier this month, City Council approved a proposed project on Chicago Avenue that will include 15 residences --- 9 single family homes and six duplexes. Per the developers narrative provided to the Planning Commission.... The Village at Chicago Park intent is for environmentally friendly, relatively small mixed residential development with single-story and two-story homes with footprints from 1,500 sq-ft to 2,100 sq-ft under roof. The principle for the intended size of the homes is to be sustainable, energy efficient, low maintenance, and attractive by utilizing elements that mirror natural aspects. The homes are intended to include porches, a garage, and stoops all within the small footprint. The homes can be constructed and oriented so that the southern exposure is utilized for solar energy. Efficient house shell and controlled crawl space construction with the above elements provide for an eco-friendly neighborhood. The Village at Chicago Park will incorporate pedestrian walks on both sides of the street. These walkways will connect to the emergent walk system along Chicago Avenue as the developer seeks to keep things neighborhood oriented increasing the accessibility to a greater community. The Village at Chicago Park's emphasis is on sustainability. These concepts combined with the use of quality products, excellent craftsmanship, on site open space, and small lots create an environmental and pedestrian friendly, low maintenance attractive neighborhood.
