Council approves final plat for Sage Industrial Park No. 9 subdivision
Summary
The council approved Resolution 25-20, authorizing the final plat for Sage Industrial Park Number 9, a two-lot subdivision east of the city. Staff said Lot 1 is 7.19 acres and Lot 2 is 14.232 acres; access and utilities are private within the subdivision and the county also approved the project.
The Evanston City Council voted to approve Resolution 25-20, authorizing the final plat for Sage Industrial Park Number 9, a two-lot subdivision located near the city’s eastern boundary off Sage Industrial Road.
City staff described the plat as dividing Lot 4, Block 1 of the Sage Industrial Park Number 6 Subdivision and a portion of an unplatted parcel to the south into two lots. Lot 1 is 7.19 acres and Lot 2 is 14.232 acres, staff said. A 30-foot access-and-utility easement was shown to provide access for future development of approximately 11 acres of adjacent unplatted land; staff cautioned that if Lot 2 were sold, additional access from Sage Industrial Road would need to be provided for the buyer.
Staff said city water and sewer mains are in the East Frontage Road south of Sage Industrial Road and that water and sewer extensions into the subdivision would be private. A 15-foot utility easement aligns with an existing overhead power line, the presentation noted. City staff recommended approval after reviewing the plat.
Councilor Linn introduced the resolution; Councilor Schmidt seconded. Council members voted in favor and the resolution passed.
Why it matters: The approved plat creates two industrial-sized lots intended to serve industrial uses in the Sage Industrial Park area. The council and staff flagged access, utility easements and the private-versus-public nature of internal improvements as items for owners to address if they sell portions of the property.
What’s next: City staff will record the final plat and owners will work through any private utility-extension and access needs required for future development or sale of Lot 2.
