11 New Houses Approved for Land Near Wheaton North High School

Eleven houses will be built on 4.5 acres near Wheaton North High School under an annexation and zoning plan approved this week by the city council. Oak Creek Capital Partners, LLC, will build on land near 0N675 Morse St. on lots measuring 7,500 to 9,000 square feet.

The plan was approved despite objections from some residents to opening the cul-de-sac on Amy Lane to connect to Morse Street. People who already live in the neighborhood say traffic is too heavy at times, particularly during school hours.

“I just don’t see how in the world that is a benefit to anybody,” Tom Langan told the council on Monday.
