Commissioners reject platting exemption for nonprofit parcel split 3–2

Feb 10, 2026

Kendall County denied a request to split a tract into a 3-acre lot and a 22-acre lot without platting, finding the request sought relief primarily for financial reasons and failed the court's relief criteria; the motion failed 3–2.

The full story

An applicant seeking to divide a single tract into a 3-acre parcel for a nonprofit use and a 22-acre remainder asked the court to waive platting requirements and frontage minimums. Planning staff explained platting would allow the requested division (three-acre minimum lots with a 10-acre average) but the applicant sought an exemption to avoid platting costs and to reduce frontage requirements (requested 191 feet vs. 250 feet required).
