Title/Name/Summary
Estates at Ravinia Meadow - Ordinance Proposing the Establishment of a Special Service Area and Providing for a Public Hearing
History
On October 6, 2025, the Village Board of Trustees approved an Amendment to a Special Use Permit for a Planned Development with Modifications from the Land Development Code; a Special Use Permit for Disturbance of a Non-Tidal Wetland; Site Plan, Landscape Plan, Elevations, and Subdivision for Estates at Ravinia Meadow located at 16100 Ravinia Avenue.
The subdivision consists of 129 detached single family homes on an approximate 72-acre site. The property is located in the R-3 Residential Zoning District.
Special Service Area
As a condition of approval of the Estates at Ravinia Meadow subdivision, the establishment of a Special Service Area (SSA) is required to guarantee the long-term maintenance of the stormwater detention and management facilities, retaining walls, multi-use paths, fences and monument sign. If activated, the proposed SSA will provide the Village with the necessary resources to assume maintenance duties, in the event the stormwater detention and management facilities, retaining walls, multi-use paths, fences and monument sign are not maintained. An SSA allows the Village to levy an additional tax to assist with financing costs for such maintenance, repair, and/or replacement.
In accordance with State statute, the attached ordinance is structured to announce a public hearing to take place at the Village Board meeting scheduled for January 19, 2026. It is also anticipated that the Ordinance Establishing the SSA will be brought forward to the January 19, 2026 meeting. A public hearing notice will be published around December 22, 2025, within the 15- to 30-day time period required prior to the public hearing, to inform the public of the upcoming public hearing. The taxpayer of record notices will also be mailed on the same day.
The 72.56-acre property is owned by Pulte Home Company, LLC who has provided the Village with a signed agreement allowing the 60-day waiting period to be waived. The 60-day waiting and public comment period has been waived for the establishment of this SSA.
This Ordinance is now before the Village Board for consideration.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to adopt an Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE PROPOSING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICE AREA NUMBER 13 IN THE VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK, AND PROVIDING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING AND OTHER PROCEDURES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
