TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Alayne Weingartz
DATE: March 28, 2014
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Annexing Certain Territory within Naperville Township, Dupage County, Illinois, to the City of Aurora (9S774 Route 59)".
PURPOSE:
Forcible annexation of a less than 60 acre site contiguous to the City of Aurora. .
BACKGROUND:
Owner James Luurs has presented a zoning request to DuPage County to allow a communications antenna/tower to be built at the subject property. The site is bordered by single family residential homes in the City of Aurora. The City Council sent a formal objection to DuPage County in the hopes of providing the basis for disapproval of the requested use of this property. .
DISCUSSION:
Inasmuch as the subject property is wholly bounded by Aurora and Naperville, the immediately adjacent properties are zoned and occupied as single family residential homes, it is appropriate to take the strongest action possible to stop the possible construction of this communications antenna/tower at this location. There are other more appropriate locations for such a use. By annexing the subject property into the City of Aurora, Aurora can control the zoning and use for this site, to protect our residents health, safety and welfare.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Annexing this property into the City of Aurora will require a zoning or re-zoning of the site. .
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I recommend that this Ordinance forcibly annexing the subject property be sent to the Planning and Development Committee and ultimately the City Council for public hearing and approval of said forcible annexation.
