              A bunch of residents plan to object to a 55-year-old and older group being proposed on Homer Township-owned land at a workshop later this month in Homer Glen.

              Some residents stated the 40 acres of land, simply west of Bell Street close to the present Homer Township Founders Crossing senior housing group, was designated as open area greater than 20 years in the past and will stay undeveloped.

              Final month, Homer Township officers introduced they need to work with Homer Glen officers and developer John LaFlamboy of Midwest Property Improvement to construct Autumn Ridge, consisting of 93 single-family houses and 20 duplex buildings on the Welter Farm property, which was purchased by the township for $2 million in 2001.

              Earlier than Homer Glen had included as a village, Homer Township voters in April 1999 accredited a referendum to difficulty $8 million in bonds to purchase areas throughout the township as a part of its open area plan. About 65% of residents accredited the bond sale.

              So far, the township has bought about 200 acres, lots of which continues to be farmed.

              “In gentle of speedy residential development it is very important put aside open land that may be preserved for all residents, wildlife, and nature alike,” the township’s web site stated.

              Some residents stated they’ve been blindsided by a possible growth and plan to take their considerations to the Homer Glen Village Board on Could 25. The land is inside village boundaries, which must approve any growth. The township board voted in April to maneuver ahead with the challenge.

              “Lots of people labored very lengthy hours and really lengthy days to get this on the poll,” resident Stan Wolak stated. “Voters voted for open area. They handed bonds for this. We voted for one purpose solely, to cease growth and protect open area in Homer Township.”

              Wolak stated the land belongs to all of the individuals of the township and to make use of it for houses feels as if these residents are subsidizing a developer. If the township have been to buy a vacant 40 acres at as we speak’s costs, it will value a number of instances as a lot, he stated.

              As soon as houses are constructed, the open area is misplaced, Wolak stated.

              “It’s such an exquisite piece of land,” he stated. “There’s no changing it. As soon as it’s gone, it’s gone.”

              “The individuals ought to have a proper to vote on what occurs to this property,” Campabello stated. “In the event that they need to undergo with a growth, let’s put a referendum again on the books.”

              Resident Keith Grey, a former Homer Glen trustee, stated when residents protest potential developments to the Village Board, that land is owned by a developer who has a proper to develop the land inside village ordinances. This land, nonetheless, is owned by the individuals, he stated.

              “You take what is actually group owned land and creating it,” Grey stated. “To me that’s mistaken. We did, as a group, purchase the land. We put it in a lock field and thought it was open and guarded.”

              A referendum is all the time a tough promote to the group, and the outcomes ought to be revered, Grey stated.

              Close by residents additionally stated they’re involved with diminished property values, cut-through site visitors and potential for flooding as a result of a few of the open area is on a flood plain.

              “We as taxpayers paid for that land 20 years in the past,” resident Debbie Laskowski stated. “To me what they’re attempting to do is egregious.”

              Township officers, nonetheless, stated they imagine the proposal can be a win for space companies, taxing our bodies and senior residents.

              Homer Township Supervisor Steve Balich stated the property taxes from Autumn Ridge may generate about $407,000 for Homer Elementary District 33C and about $190,000 for Lockport Excessive Faculty District 205 with out burdening the college system with extra college students. Companies would additionally recognize extra rooftops in the neighborhood, he stated.

              At a particular city assembly final fall, the electors accredited transferring six township-owned parks and sports activities fields to the village of Homer Glen and accredited the township board to buy, promote or lease township property. The 55-year-old group was not but identified on the time, Balich stated.
