Title
An Ordinance Annexing Territory Pursuant to 65ILCS 5/7-1-13 (Norfolk Southern Railway Company, PINs 27-16-500-001-0000, 27-17-500-001-0000, and 27-20-500-003-0000)
History
The Village has identified +/- 8-acre unincorporated parcel (excluding public streets, rights of ways and roadways) located in the Grassland Planning District, for involuntary annexation. The parcel comprises a railroad track owned by Norfolk Southern Railroad Company.
Staff identified that the railroad tracks north of the subject parcel were annexed into the Village in 1892, and the tracks immediately to the south were annexed into the Village in 1975, hence this parcel qualifies by the Illinois Statute, for annexation through municipal ordinance.
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.
