TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Tracey M. Vacek, Senior Planner
DATE: November 18, 2024
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Annexing Property located at 1681 Jericho Road to the City of Aurora, pursuant to a Water Service Agreement (City of Aurora - 24-0903 / AU29/1-24.466-A - TV - Ward 4)
PURPOSE:
To annex the property located at 1681 Jericho Road into the City of Aurora.
BACKGROUND:
The Subject Property is located at 1681 Jericho Road and is currently a single-family home within unincorporated Kane County. A previous owner, Vickie Paquin, entered into a Water Service Agreement with the City on July 13, 2001, in order to receive city water. At that time, the property was not annexed into to the City of Aurora. The WSA was recorded on the property, and it runs with the property.
The Subject Property is contiguous to City of Aurora municipal boundaries to the north (The property to be annexed is considered contiguous to the municipality, even if a railroad separates them.) and to the south as this portion of Jericho Road was recently annexed. Therefore, the proposal is to annex the property pursuant to a Water Service Agreement. The Subject Property currently has city water and is paying double water rates. As a result of the Annexation, the current property owner will be paying regular city water rates once annexed. The property will be annexed in with R-1 One Family Dwelling District zoning.
