In response to serious interest expressed by developers over the last large, relatively undeveloped property in the community, Village officials became concerned over the ultimate type and character of development that would occur along Rand Road, a major thoroughfare. Teska was retained by the Village to update the Comprehensive Plan to address this issue by exploring new planning and design approaches that would ensure that new development would fit into and enhance the Village's high quality image.
Based on design guidelines contained in the Plan, Teska revised the traditional planned unit development standards for the Village. The new planned development district includes a system of Floor Area Ratio standards that rewards developers who assemble larger parcels to avoid problems with 'piece-meal' development. Teska has also modernized the Village's sign ordinance to enhance readability, created standards for a new tree preservation ordinance and multiple development reviews for the Deer Park Town Center.
