TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Law Department
DATE: January 1, 2025
SUBJECT:
Ordinance the Expanding Special Service Area Number 208 related to real property commonly known as Lincoln Crossing South or Lincoln Crossing Phase 2.
PURPOSE:
To expand Special Service Area 208 as a result of the expansion and continued development of the Lincoln Crossing subdivision.
BACKGROUND:
The expansion of this SSA was proposed on October 10, 2024. The public hearing for the proposed extension of SSA 208 was held on November 12, 2024.
DISCUSSION:
On June 14, 2022, the City adopted O22-043 and established SSA 208 in accordance with the Special Service Area Tax Law (35 ILCS 200/27-5 et seq) and the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/1-1 et seq) for Lincoln Crossing subdivision. Since Phase 1 of the subdivision has been completed, Lincoln Prairie Aurora, LLC, is seeking to develop the remaining portion of the subdivision and the new area needs to be added to existing dormant SSA 208.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There is no immediate impact to this action, however if the City fails to expand the SSA to include the second phase of development, it will have limited recourse against future homeowners of Lincoln Crossing South, in the event the onsite stormwater retention, detention, drainage control systems and common areas are not maintained and repaired.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the adoption of this Ordinance.
