DeKALB | A new supportive-living facility and some possible town homes may pop up in DeKalb soon, pending city council votes.

Wednesday’s DeKalb plan commission approved final plans for a supportive-living facility and the Garden Town Homes of RiverMist Wednesday. The commission also discussed neighborhood down-zoning.

The proposed supportive-living facility will have 76 apartments, located in the 2500 block of Annie Glidden Road, just west of the DeKalb County Nursing Home.

“Anybody of any income can live in this facility,” said developer Blair Menton, “We look to support a population that makes under 25,000 per year.”

The supportive-living facility will have the same services as an assisted-living facility. It also will have its own transportation.

“We have a country store, so they don’t have to go out, but we do take them to Wal-Mart,” Menton said.

The plan commission also approved the final plan for the Garden Town Homes of RiverMist. The plan added 14 units, bringing the total to 149. Two, three or four units can be included per building. There will also be some two-story units on Cutler, Sangamon, and Spruce Drive.

Some stop signs and possible parking restrictions were discussed for the private streets.

“We do have some pretty decent flow-ability through there,” said Ivan Kirpan, project representative.

The down-zoning of “Neighborhood H,” located between Taylor Street, Seventh Street, Lincoln Highway and Peace Road is progressing slowly, said John Guio, plan commission chair.

Re-zoning allows tenants to alter the use of any city lot to serve a more appropriate use.

Fourth Ward Alderwoman Donna Gorski will hold a neighborhood meeting Feb. 15 to discuss the possible down-zoning of the neighborhood.
