1:43

Uh potentially might be good through email as well, because then we can include that information into our packets so it becomes part of the record.

Plainfield Plan Commission Meeting - March 3, 2026

The Plan Commission held a brief meeting on March 3, 2026, at 7:00 PM in the Village Boardroom.

Consent Calendar

  • The minutes of the February 3, 2026 Plan Commission meeting were approved by voice vote with no opposition.

  • Diane Gary addressed the Commission regarding the case at the northwest corner of Johnson Road and Ridge Road. She indicated she came to speak on that case. The Chair informed her that the applicant had requested a continuance to the March 18, 2026 meeting. Ms. Gary asked if she could still comment that evening because she would be unavailable on March 18. The Chair directed her to submit comments via email to Jonathan so they could be included in the record.

Discussion Items

  • Northwest Corner of Johnson Rd. & Ridge Rd. (Case 2114-091825.AA.REZ.SU.VAR.SPR.PP / 2120-121925.AA.REZ.SPR.PP): The Commission discussed a request to open and continue the public hearing for the proposed annexation and rezoning to the Wednesday, March 18, 2026 Plan Commission meeting.
