INFILL ANNEXATION — 14022 S. ROUTE 59
Mayor Collins called the meeting to order at 7:29 p.m. Present roll call stands.
Mr. Michael Garrigan stated that in accordance with 65 ILCS 5/7 -1 -13, the Village is proposing
to annex the property at 14022 S. Route 59 as infill annexation. The subject property is the old
"Plainfield Supplies" and is approximate 1.63 acres. The site is located on Route 59 and is north
of the old "Ball Glass" factory. The subject site is totally surrounded by the Village of
Plainfield.
The annexation is being initiated by Village staff to address jurisdictional inconsistencies that are
caused by pockets of unincorporated areas throughout the Village. Staff is seeking uniform and
consistent application of Village land use, traffic, and public service regulations.
Ms. Anissa Chmura addressed the Board on behalf of her husband, Mark Chmura, who was not
in attendance. Mr. Chmura expressed some concerns with the infill annexation including
expense, zoning, and owner notification, and forced annexation.
There were no other Public Comments.
Mr. Garrigan stated that the cost to the Village is very minimal, about a couple hundred dollars.
Mr. Garrigan also pointed out that the property is currently in a commercial district and without
being annexed, the Village does not have any control over the uses at that location. Additionally,
in the event of an emergency, Will County would need to be called out increasing the response
time.
Trustee Fay moved to close the public hearing and return to the regular business meeting.
Seconded by Trustee Lamb. Voice Vote. All in favor, 0 opposed. Motion carried.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
