TO: Mayor Robert J. O'Connor
FROM: Bill Wiet, Chief Development Services Officer
DATE: April 28, 2017
SUBJECT:
To sell a small portion of the City's former landfill to Heartland Recycling LLC to allow for Heartland to fill in a swale/valley area between the two properties, increasing the amount of developable land, and being able to dispose of additional materials.
PURPOSE:
Heartland Recycling is currently filling the former quarry (bought from the City of Aurora) with clean construction debris, the goal of which is to redevelop the site when the quarry is ultimately filled and graded. Being able to fill this additional area provides for additional land in which to build upon when the filling is completed.
BACKGROUND:
The City property being considered for sale consists of approximately .66 acre in size, immediately south of Heartlands quarry site, and running from State Rt. 25 to the east. Heartland states that the filling of the quarry is ahead of schedule, and being able to utilize this additional area for clean construction debris, including for the City's public works projects, will level off the valley and become a part of any proposed future use of the quarry site, more than likely an office, research or industrial use.
DISCUSSION:
The City, as part of the original agreement, will be provided with 15 acres of the quarry site free of charge. This area will be determined upon completion of the filling at the site and pursuant to a subdivision of the property.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This sale will have a positive impact on the future redevelopment of the site, which in turn will increase the tax revenues at the site.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the Contract for the Purchase and Sale of a Portion of City Owned Real Estate Located the Northeast Corner of Sullivan Road and State Route 25 be approved.
