The Arlington Heights Village Board approved plans for the construction of 66 row house on a little over five acresPulte also agreed to build 26 guest parking spaces in two areas. Pulte also agreed to remove construction debris, grade and seed another seven acres that are currently zoned for single-family residences.

Streets near the row house will be kept private at 22 feet wide. Each home also will have two spaces in its driveway behind its garage. Pulte also agreed to pave 26 guest parking spaces in two areas.

Only trustee Bert Rosenberg opposed the plans, hoping for a 6- or 7-foot wide strip of land so their could be wider streets with onstreet parking.

The middle units will have 1,464 square feet with base prices in the mid-$200,000 range. End units will have 1,736 square feet with prices starting in the upper $200,000 range.

The proposal to relocate Lauterberg & Oehler Funeral Home from its current location on Northwest Highway to Memory Gardens Cemetery at the corner of Euclid and Waterman was rejected at a Village board meeting Monday night.

The village board voted 6-2 against an ordinance that would have allowed the construction project to begin at the west end of Memory Gardens Cemetery. Thomas Hayes and Helen Jensen voted for the project’s approval. A preliminary vote July 20 to allow the ordinance variance was 7-1 in favor of Lauterburg and Oehler Funeral Home.

Service Corporation International, owner of both the cemetery and the funeral home, was seeking a zoning variance to build in the cemetery, but the plans failed because SCI, which owns the cemetery and the funeral home, would not agree to move the funeral home further east.

Service Corporation International options are to move the project further east, at additional expense, or find another property location.

The Arlington Heights Village Board voted for preliminary approval of Lauterberg & Oehler Funeral Home to build a new funeral home next to Memory Gardens at the southeast corner of Euclid Avenue and Waterman Avenue. The only trustee who voted against the plans was John Scaleta. The vote came after midnight after more than 25 residents gave feedback — opposing and supporting the new location.

The board voted against a crematorium. An embalming facility may be included later. If finalized, Lauterberg & Oehler Funeral Home would move from their building of over 50 years at Northwest Highway and Gregory Street.
