Lisle board annexes two parcels, approves R‑1 zoning for future single-family development
Summary
At its May 19 meeting, the Village of Lisle approved ordinances annexing Lot 2 of the Karnes Assessment Plat and 5 S. 57 Karnes Road and amended the zoning map to R‑1 for both parcels. Staff said the parcels are contiguous to village boundaries and the owners intend to market one lot for sale and build a single-family home on the other.
The Village of Lisle on May 19 approved ordinances annexing two properties into village limits and amending the zoning map to R‑1 (single-family residential).
The board voted to annex Lot 2 of the Karnes Assessment Plat (to be marketed for sale) and to annex the property at 5 South 57 Karnes Road (for construction of a new single-family residence). Director Smetana told the board the properties are contiguous to the village and eligible for annexation.
During the public hearings, resident Susan Sorell asked whether new homes on annexed lots would be required to connect to village water. Director Smetana replied, “Yes, upon construction of a new single family home they will be required to connect to public water.”
Staff recommendation and reasons: Planning staff recommended approval on the grounds that each parcel is contiguous to the corporate boundary and eligible for annexation; the applicant’s stated intent is marketing or residential construction under R‑1 zoning. Notices for the public hearings were published in the Daily Herald on May 8, 2025, as required.
Board action: Both ordinances passed on roll-call votes. The clerk recorded unanimous aye votes for the motions to annex and to amend the zoning map.
What happens next: For the Karnes Assessment Lot 2, staff said the applicant intends to market the property for sale. For 5 South 57 Karnes Road, the applicant told staff the intent is to construct a single-family home; building permits and any required water connections will be addressed during the permitting process.
