Crystal Lake panel favors downtown homes plan

From the Chicago Tribune:

CRYSTAL LAKE - A proposal to build more than 50 row houses next to City Hall in downtown Crystal Lake has won preliminary approval from the city's Planning and Zoning Commission.

The three-story townhouses would be priced around $375,000 a unit and would be pitched to "transit-oriented" residents who work in Chicago and want to live within walking distance of Crystal Lake's restaurants and shops, said developer John Green of Chicago-based Centrum Properties Inc. The site is about two blocks from a commuter train station.

Green wants to build 57 units. At a meeting Wednesday, planning commission members indicated a preference for fewer units.
