On Monday, January 27, the Pleasant Prairie Plan Commission approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for a portion of the River View Neighborhood and the Land Use Plan for the proposed re-development of vacant lands. The proposed plans will develop approximately 95 acres of property generally located between 75th and 79th Streets, from 104th to 115th Avenues. The request was made by Anthony DeRosa, agent for Fiduciary Real Estate Development, Inc. The project is being divided into four separate development zones. Zone A is designated for multi-family apartments, to be known as Seasons at River View. Zone B will be reserved for senior living development. Zones C and D will be used for commercial areas, to be known as Shoppes at River View.
A conceptual plan was also presented by the developer and reviewed and recommended for conditional approval by the Plan Commission. The areas identified as Zone A, multi-family apartments, will be the first phase of development. The apartment complexes will provide a transitional buffer between the existing Chateau Eau Plaines single-family subdivision to the south and the commercial component that will develop along the south side of STH 50. The development will have private road access to 77th Street at two locations, along with private road access to 115th Avenue. The multi-family area will consist of 16 two-story buildings, 12 20-unit buildings, and four 15-unit buildings to create 300 total units. The unit mix consists of 24 studio apartments, 128 one-bedroom apartments, 124 two-bedroom apartments, and 24 three-bedroom apartments. Community amenities will feature a clubhouse for resident use, with a club room, fitness facility, resort-style pool, and leasing office with on-site management. Unit pricing will range from $1,100 to $2,200.
Future developments for Zone B will consist of 159 units that have common areas and the potential for all types of senior living care, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Zone C and D have approximately 34.5 acres that could include nearly 218,000 square feet of commercial development with a mixture of potential uses, including retail, office, or related medical services.
The River View development project intends to meet the needs of the fast-growing population and workforce in the community and surrounding area. Creating a master land-use plan with roadways and infrastructure improvements will benefit the region and improve stormwater drainage problems in the area.
