Stahelin Properties Proposed Zoning/Plat Changes in Sable Ridge Subdivision
We are against changes to the original subdivision plat and zoning of land owned by Stahelin Properties within the Sable Ridge Subdivision located in Joliet, IL. Stahelin is proposing adding 239 rental apartments and 132 townhouses. The area owned between Bluestem and Black Rd. was zoned commercial and the original plat was for development of commercial in that area. The original plat and zoning called for Single Family homes and duplexes in the land owned between Theodore St. and Sable Ridge Dr. Stahelin is proposing that area be rental apartments mixed with townhouses. Stahelin is making this proposal in order to get the greatest financial return on their investment while ignoring the negative impact this will have on the existing subdivisions owners. Residents bought their properties with the understanding that the build out of the remaining land within the subdivision would be consistent with the original plat and zoning. The economic downturn has already turned many single family residences into rental properties. This has increased the pressure on home prices of which many residents are under water on their mortgages. Adding rental apartments would further deteriorate prices for existing homes and the family oriented nature of the subdivision. Please join in this petition to keep Stahelin Properties from making their proposed changes.

As a local resident for 16 years I do NOT want this re-zoned for rental property and townhomes. Builders have just started building new homes again in the area. Stahelin made a business decision to buy the property, tell them they need to wait!
We need commercial investment that adds to the tax base to take the burden off home owners. This will not bring any relief to the home owners who are invested in their homes and communities
As a Sable Ridge resident, this will negatively impact the value of my home. We do not have the roominthe schools for an additional 471 families, nor do with have the infastructure to support this. I am also leary of the potential crime itcould bring to ourcommunity.
This development would be detrimental to the area. It would put a strain on the local schools. There is no public transportation or jobs nearby to support residents of this type of proposed community.
Amending the original plans will not be beneficial to the subdivision or the community as a whole. Joliet needs to attract more homeowners. Homeowners tend to take more pride in their homes as they are a long term personal investment. Rental properties tend to have high turnover rates and negatively impact the community.
Please don’t allow this!!
Absolutely Not!

The infrastructure surrounding the area could not withstand that kind of traffic flow. Vast numbers of rental properties in one area have proven to decrease home values, over populate schools and unfortunately bring crime. Bringing this type of density to this area zoned commercial should remain as such.
