Planning Overview/ Discussion

 

This annexation is being initiated by staff.

 

The subject property, 2100 Manning Road, sometimes referred to as the Gardner property, is located on the north side of Manning Road, west of Fairview Avenue.  The parcel is completely surrounded by the City of Darien.  There are not any other unincorporated parcels within the immediate vicinity.

 

Under Section 7-1-13 of the Illinois Municipal Code, the City may annex territory not exceeding 60 acres and which is surrounded by one or more municipalities.  The subject property is less than 60 acres and is surrounded by at least one municipality, Darien.  A copy of the Zoning Map showing the location of the subject property is attached to this memo.

 

Under Section 7-1-47 of the Illinois Municipal Code and Section 5A-6-3 of the Darien Zoning Ordinance, any territory annexed into the City is automatically zoned R-1 Single-Family Residence.  Therefore, upon annexation, the subject property will be zoned R-1 Single-Family Residence.

 

Please see the attached memo dated August 27, 2010, from John Murphey, City Attorney.

 

 

Staff Findings/Recommendations

 

Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached ordinance annexing the subject property.

 

 

Decision Mode

 

The City Council will consider this item at its meeting on September 7, 2010.
