Title
An Ordinance Annexing Territory Pursuant to 65ILCS 5/7-1-13 (11450 179th Street)
History
The Village has identified +/- 5 acres (excluding public streets, rights of ways and roadways) of unincorporated parcels located in the Grassland Planning District, which qualify by the Illinois Statute, for annexation through municipal ordinance. An ordinance authorizing annexation is now presented to the Village for consideration.
These parcels were identified in the Comprehensive Plan as Annexation Area #63 and were listed as a high priority for annexations. The Comprehensive Plan calls for the area to be zoned R-4 Single Family residential.
Cook County has designated the parcels R-1 Single Family Residential District.
Each area eligible for unilateral annexation was evaluated for annexation potential based on factors including, development quality concerns, fiscal impact on village, environmental issues, nuisance issues, natural resource protection, Village preferred land use and utility serviceability.
Per the Illinois Municipal Code ILCS 65 requirements, written notice of contemplated annexation was sent to the taxpayer of record, and the Cook County Board, and was published in Daily Southtown.
Therefore, it is recommended that the properties identified in this ordinance be annexed and uses of the property be subject to Village Ordinances.
Recommended Action/Motion

AND
Authorize the Village Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with interested property owners within 90 days of the passage of this ordinance, subject to Village Attorney review.
