Things don’t always go as planned.
At the June 19 Peoria City Council meeting, Evergreen Devco, a development company, was seeking approval on a request to rezone an existing Planned Area Development (PAD) to the Trellis at Roundtree Ranch on approximately 18.5 acres at the northeast corner of 83rd and Olive avenues. But Evergreen will have to wait until Aug. 14 — the next City Council meeting — for its application to either be approved or denied.
Following Peoria Senior Planner Cody Gleason’s summary of the development, wherein his council communication indicated all property owners within a 600-foot radius of the site and all registered homeowners associations within one mile were notified of the required neighborhood meeting held Feb. 13, the mayor opened the public hearing portion of the presentation.
One property owner in Roundtree Ranch, a residential subdivision east of the proposed development, voiced concerns about the building heights within Trellis at Roundtree Ranch. In what appeared to be an explanation that indicated the higher level apartments on the east side of Trellis would have clerestory windows that would make it difficult for tenants to peer down on nearby Roundtree residents’ homes, the next speakers were called to the podium for comment.
