Public Hearing for a Resolution Approving an Annexation Agreement for 0.14 acres at the intersection of Elgin Avenue and Leach Avenue.
end
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, Raul Ramirez Nunez, is the current owner of the vacant lot in question as well as the adjacent property at 502 Leach Ave, located just south of the vacant lot. The applicant wishes to annex into the City of Joliet so that he can consolidate the vacant lot with the house lot at 502 Leach Ave, which is within city boundaries and zoned R-3 (one-and-two-family residential). The intent of the annexation is to be able to construct a shed on the vacant lot. The applicant was informed by Will County that an accessory structure is not allowed on a parcel that does not have an established primary structure. The property owner also cannot consolidate lots with different zoning classifications.
?
?City water and sanitary sewer lines are located approximately 30' to 40' east of the subject property within the City right-of-way. The property owner will be financially responsible for bringing water and sewer to the property, connecting the property to the water and sewer lines, and paying tap-on fees should future development occur. The property owner would also then be subject to the City's development impact fee. Sewer and water connection details and fees are further defined as part of the Annexation Agreement. Detachment fees for the East Joliet Fire Protection District have been paid by the applicant in the amount of $263.35. The property is not in a library district and therefore library detachment fees are not required.?
