WORKSHOP
#1 CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW—RIVERSTONE AND BRUMMEL PROPOSED
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS.
Mr. Jon Proulx stated that the applicants are requesting concept plan review for a pair of proposed
residential developments known as the Brummel Farm, located north of 127th Street and west of
Book Road, and Riverstone, located south of 127th Street, west of Naperville-Plainfield Road. The
north property is in unincorporated Will County and would require annexation into the Village. The
concept plan has been developed in a coordinated effort with the Brummel property to the north and
west. These are two independent projects, but the applicants are working together to present a
coordinated project.
Mr. Proulx reviewed the Brummel property. The applicant is proposing to develop the site with 164
homes on 55.2 acres. The homes include 87 single-family detached homes and 77 townhomes. Mr.
Proulx then reviewed the Riverstone property. The applicant is proposing to develop the site with
207 homes including 167 single family detached homes and 40 duplexes.
Mr. John Luczynski, President of J. Edward Land gave a presentation highlighting Concept Plans for
the Brummel Farm and Riverstone property including the land uses, density, and land plan.

would like to see two entrances/exits and would like to see meandering streets in Brummel. Mayor
