Title/Name/Summary

11610 Whispering Hill Drive - Property Donation Acceptance

 

 

History

In 1995, the property at 11610 Whispering Hill Drive was developed as stormwater detention for the Deercrest residential subdivision. The property is generally located at Southwest Highway at 17600 South. The property at 11610 Whispering Hill Drive was supposed to dedicated to the Village when the subdivision was accepted. For some reason, this did not take place.

 

As a result, the property fell into tax delinquency, and was subsequently purchased for the back taxes. Michael Carter, previously lived at one of the adjacent residences in the Deercrest subdivision. He purchased the subject property through a tax sale.

 

He soon realized the site was not developable. As such he as offered to donate the property to the Village at no cost. Village staff is recommending approval of the dedication. The site will continue to provide stormwater detention and will be owned and maintained by the Village. A resolution accepting the donation is attached for review.
