annexed to the Village when it becomes contiguous to the Village
boundary; upon annexation, the 80 ace property will be zoned AG
Agricultural; the 44 acre property currently subject to rezoning
will not, upon contiguity, be annexed to the Village; the applicant
will provide a 60 foot easement from the center lane of Heggs Road
on both the 44 acre and the 80 acre properties for highway and/or
utility purposes. The applicant will also make dedications of and
improvements to Heggs Road in accordance with the Wheatland
Township requirements. Upon platting of the 80 acre property, the
owner agrees to grant easements and Rights-of-way for public
improvements and utilities. The Village agrees not to file any
objections to the rezoning of the 44 acre property. Upon
application for rezoning and platting of the 80 acre property,
the owner agrees to pay all impact fees in effect at the time of
platting in conjunction with any land contributions currently
required by Village Ordinances.
The applicant intends to rezone the 44.8 acre subject property from
Will County Agricultural to Wi11 County Single Family Residential
to allow for the development of 42 single family residential
dwelling units. The subject property is adjacent to an existing
single family residential development. The existing development is
served by well and septic, as will be the proposed development.
This rezoning is subject to Village consideration per Illinois
State Statutes because it is within one and one-half miles of the
current Village boundary. The Village may only object or support
the rezoning as it is a county zoning case.
