I sat in on the Planning Commission to learn more about the 2 property owners' plans to have their 5 families rezoned as 5 x Single family properties (w 0 lot lines). Two (or more) motivations for this:
-reduce Prop Tax burden. 3+ Families are charged at a higher rate in the County
-prepare for sale of Coop/Condos in the future.
I'm trying to learn more about this to see if it makes sense for the Village to encourage or to discourage. Encourage: better cost control for landlords, which are an important group in the Village. The money they save can be used for repairs, as an example. Discourage: more condos mean less apartments, again a vital group in the Village. Discourage: money out of our and schools pockets....
