17101 Wolf Road Purchase and Sale Contract
History
The property at 17101 Wolf Road is 5.95-acre piece of property on the east side of Wolf Road, in unincorporated Cook County. The property was previously a school bus storage and maintenance facility. The Village was notified in January of 2025 that the current owner was pursuing special use permit to allow for an automobile repossession lot. In February of 2025 the Village passed a resolution formally objecting to the granting of the special use permit by Cook County. In April of 2025, the Village hosted an informational meeting at the Orland Park Civic Center. Village elected officials also attended the Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals hearings to object to the approval of the special use permit.
Since that time period, the Village has been in negotiations with landowner for the purchase of the subject property and has since come to an agreement to purchase the property for $1,300,000. Upon execution of the attached contract, the Village will enter a 30-day due diligence period to investigate any and all aspects regarding the physical condition of the real estate. Payment will be made upon closing. The closing date will be mutually agreed upon after satisfactory completion of the due diligence period.
There is currently a large gravel parking lot with a small office/vehicle repair shop on the subject property. Once the property is purchased, the Village intends to demolish the existing structure and revert the property to its natural state. This includes restoration with natural plantings and a stormwater improvement project. Depending on feasibility, a passive recreation area may be included on site.
