COMMUI�TITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 96-115 � <br /> June 25, 1996 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and � <br /> City Council Members ' <br /> FROM: Daniel R. Sommerfeldt, Acting City Manager ', <br /> George C. Weaver, Community Development Director , <br /> Robert A. McQueen, Senior Planner II <br /> SUBJECT: Annexation of premises commonly known as 4142 North Westlawn Avenue I' <br /> A valid petition requesting annexation of the subject premises has been filed with the City Clerk's <br /> Office. Containing 7.7 acres, the subject tract is developed as a highway maintenance facility for <br /> the Illinois Department of Transportation. The reason for requesting annexation is to obtain City <br /> water to serve the e�sting facility; an e�sting watermain is adjacent along North Westlawn <br /> Avenue. <br /> Sanitary sewer service is not available; the existing development is served by an individual septic <br /> tank system; the nearest sanitary sewer is located approximately one quarter mile southeast in the <br /> Bachrach Industrial Park. <br /> Inasmuch as this tract is owned by the State of Illinois, it is tax exempt. <br /> Staff recognizes this annexation as producing a logical extension of the corporate limits within <br /> the projected growth area of the City of Decatur. Future annexation requests are anticipated from <br /> the adjoining residential area to the immediate east. Staff recommends approval of the petition as <br /> presented. <br />
