Title/Name/Summary
7300 at 155th Street Annexation
History
The Village has identified four unincorporated parcels that qualifies by Illinois Statute, for annexation through municipal ordinance. The four parcels, 19.5 acres in total, are located in Silver Lake South as ComEd easements. An ordinance authorizing annexation is now presented to the Village for consideration. An annexation study was conducted by the Village in 2007 and subsequently updated in 2022. In 2024, staff presented the findings to the Village Board. The Village Board, in February of 2024, directed staff to pursue unilateral annexation of several properties and indicated that if annexed it is preferred to use the area for recreational trails. The pursuit of unilateral annexation is being pursued for this property at this time.
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.
Therefore, it is recommended that the properties identified in this ordinance be annexed and uses of the property be subject to Village Ordinances.
Financial Impact
Based on the 2022 annexation study, the subject four parcels estimated revenue is $0.
