A home on Graceland Lane in Frankfort Township is planned as a group home for up to four seniors and a caregiver to share as an independent living arrangement. The Will County Board voted 14-5 Thursday to permit a group home so up to four seniors and a caregiver can live independently together in a single-family house at 20029 Graceland Lane in Frankfort Township.
The existing single-family home will be for seniors who may experience some limitations, but want to age in place in their community or who don’t want to live alone, county officials said. A caregiver will be on site at all times to assist the four seniors who live there. Board member Jim Richmond, a Republican from Mokena, said he was concerned about the residents’ well-being because the home is small, lacks a fire suppression system and is not compliant with the American with Disabilities Act. Richmond was one of five board members to vote against the special-use permit.
The projects, Dralle Sun, LLC and Dralle Sun 2 LLC by 22C Development, are planned for vacant land near Frankfort, University Park and Monee. They are also about 2.5 miles from the proposed south suburban airport. A 5-megawatt solar farm, Dralle Sun 2, would be located nearby on nearly 40 acres at the southeast intersection of South Ridgeland Avenue and West Dralle Road.
