If the Planning & Zoning Commission (P & Z) concurs with the staff recommendation and is of the opinion that the final plat of consolidation complies with the Village’s comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, and the subdivision regulations, I would ask that the Commission provide an affirmative recommendation to approve the Plat of Consolidation subject to the following: 1) Final engineering review and approval. 2) Recording of the document by Village Staff. 2 STAFF REPORT – 3118 WHITE OAK LN CONSOLIDATION FINAL PLAT – CONSOLIDATION CASE NO. 2025-11-SR-FP Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
