NEW BUSINESS
K.1 Approve a Concept Plan for the Northwest Corner of Route 31 and W. Washington Street, Otherwise Known as “Village Square.”
A motion was made by Trustee Sollinger and seconded by Trustee Marter II to approve a Concept Plan for the Northwest Corner of Route 31 and W. Washington Street, Otherwise Known as “Village Square.”
Director Zenner, a representative for Erdman and a representative from Charter Senior Living, LLC presented the concept. Erdman works strictly on healthcare and Charter is an operator and partner for these types of communities.
The subject property is an approximately 11-acre vacant area located at the northwest corner of Route 31 and W Washington Street and is zoned R-4 General Residence District and B-2 Community Shopping District. The site is currently vacant. The parcels and easements will be combined and re- platted to create a single lot with frontage on Washington Street and a shared property line with the River Run residential subdivision to the north, in addition to the adjacent Village Hall property. Site access will be available from Washington Street with a new private road that will align with Presidential Boulevard as well as from the existing access on Route 31. The proposed site plan indicates a portion of the existing Parkers Mill right-of-way will need to be vacated by the Village and will be replaced by a private entrance to Washington Street at Presidential Boulevard. This will reduce future access to the Village Hall Complex. No formal discussions have taken place yet on compensation for the vacated right-of-way. If the Village Board supports the concept plan, staff can have the property appraised.
The proposed senior living community will provide affordable housing with services for older adults in Oswego and surrounding communities. The proposed new development offers distinct levels of housing and care to serve area seniors.
• 142-unit senior living community
• 47 independent living cottages
• 66 assisted living units
• 29 memory care units
The main building will house assisted living and memory care apartments along with associated amenity and support spaces and is proposed to be three stories with a two-story wing extending toward the west. Service access, as well as staff parking, will be on the north side of the building and a secure outdoor garden for use by memory care residents will be situated southwest of the building. Construction of the building will be wood frame (IBC Type V-A), clad with engineered wood and/or cement board siding, with an asphalt shingle pitched roof. Attention will be paid to ensuring that the finishes, color palette, and detailing of the main building will be compatible with and complementary to the Village Hall structure across the Village Green.
The remainder of the site, to the west of the main building, will accommodate a variety of independent living attached cottages and townhomes. Site development will include 16 2-bedroom townhouses grouped into 4-unit clusters; 31 2-bedroom patio homes grouped into a series of duplex, triplex and quadplex structures; dwellings will be one story in height with one- or two-car attached garages; a network of paved pedestrian walkways and internal vehicular roadways and drives; surface parking for residents, visitors and staff; and recreational and service areas to interconnect and serve the development. Building materials will be similar to those occurring on the main building. The independent living component of the community will be built out incrementally as commitments for the units are secured. It is proposed to displace 38 angled parking spaces along the north and west sides of the Village Square. These spaces will be replaced with new spaces to be provided as part of the resident and visitor parking lot south of the main building.
The proposed land uses are not in compliance with some of the properties’ current zoning districts. The two parcels zoned B-2 Community Shopping District will be rezoned to R-4 General Residence and the entire development will be processed through a Special Use for a Planned Unit Development to allow for an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility and Independent Living Community.
Estimated Development Fees are as follows:
• Development Impact Fees (DIF) based on 142 units
➢ Village fees - $440,768
➢ Fire - $31,524
➢ Library - $32,376
➢ Park District - $59,072
• Land Cash Dedication Park Estimate - $209,899
The proposed Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility and Independent Living Community development reflects the future need for the anticipated senior housing in the Village and would be a compatible use to the neighboring residential neighborhoods.

Community Needs & Creating Jobs

• 80-100 staff members
➢ 10 positions $60,000+
➢ Executive Director $100,000+

➢ Hourly Staff - $12 - $15 / hr.
• Expected property taxes $500,000+ per year
Staff is generally agreeable to the proposed conceptual site plan and specific land uses. Some considerations for the Final Plan include:
1. Modify the southwest shared parking lot design so that it is better connected with Village Hall and our customers know that they may park there; or, create two separate areas.
2. Provide better sidewalk connections from the proposed development to the Village Hall site which provides pedestrian access to the downtown, specifically near the southwest parking lot and the detention pond. Also, from the recreational area to the pond.
3. Remove the five (5) visitor parking spaces from the entrance drive in the northeast corner on Route 31.
4. Better illustrate how the Village Green plaza will be modified and improved to accommodate entry and drop-off.
5. If no sidewalks, curbs, or gutters are proposed for the independent living area, special design elements should be incorporated to ensure no through-traffic on the private roads, traffic slowing mechanisms and no on-street parking.
6. It is recommended that the concrete path around the pond be widened to 8’-10’.
7. The landscape buffer along the northern property line should be significant and very dense.
Board, staff and representative discussion focused on choosing Oswego based on a market study; study conducted last December; a little delayed due to pandemic; see great demand in Oswego; not wanting to saturate the market; need to make sure there is shared parking; agree with market analysis; great idea for a transitional community; concept is good; development will be for-profit; designed to match Village Hall; siding on homes; pitched roofs; adding stone and blending; not a brick building; there will be elements of brick; chimney, vertical elements and base of building will be stone; vacating of the land; property needs to be appraised; compensation to the Village for vacated property; independent living will be rented/leased on a month to month basis; maintenance free; all utilities included; street and landscaping maintenance; 24/7 on-site management; minimum age for independent living is 65 and over, but usually 75+; 85+ for assisted living; 75+ for memory care; working with staff on solution for sidewalks; pond would be the responsibility of the property developers; keeping continuity to match the other pond; pond is meant to be a prominent feature; keeping and maintaining at the level they want; other pond owned by the HOA for Hometown; all infrastructure would go in next March; building the cottages and villas first, then the 3-story; everything at once, not in stages; move into the preliminary and final PUD by end of the year. There was no further discussion.
