This item is a preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the Neustoneshire Phase Two residential subdivision, located north of Van Dyke Road and west of County Line Road in Council District #3. The applicant, D.R. Horton, Inc. - Midwest, proposes to develop 147 single-family residential lots on approximately 54.2 acres of currently undeveloped agricultural land. The project is intended to be completed in one phase over approximately three years.

Key Provisions:

• Zoning and Lot Standards: The site is zoned R-1B (single-family residential). The project includes a variation to reduce the minimum lot area for Lots 21 and 25 to 8,978 and 8,886 square feet, respectively, to accommodate a wider right-of-way dedication for Van Dyke Road.
• Design Variances: The developer requests a variation from residential design standards to allow 100% of dwelling units to have at least 25% brick or stone on the front elevation (instead of the standard 50% of units having 50% brick or stone). Additionally, a variation is requested to reduce the required 30-foot landscape area adjacent to Van Dyke Road to 18 feet.
• Infrastructure: The plan includes a 38-foot right-of-way dedication for Van Dyke Road and connects to the existing street network from Neustoneshire Phase One. Stormwater detention will be managed on the south side of the property.
• Park Contribution: The Joliet Park District has requested a cash contribution in lieu of a park land dedication.

Financial Details:

• The developer will utilize internal financing for the project. Public improvements, water/sewer connection fees, and school impact fees are required. The developer is currently negotiating the cash-in-lieu park contribution amount with the Joliet Park District.

Timeline:

• Site work is projected to begin in early spring 2026.
• First home starts are projected for September 2026.
• Sales are scheduled to begin in December 2026.
