Burr Ridge board declares three parcels surplus as sale with buyer advances
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution declaring three parcels (Lot 37, Lot 38 and part of Lot 39, excluding the Veterans Memorial) surplus to allow a purchase-and-sale agreement with buyer Goddard to proceed; the village will retain the Veterans Memorial and work on cross-access easements. The recorded vote was 5–0 after Trustee Anita Mittal reconnected.
Village staff told the Board of Trustees on Jan. 12 that the village is close to completing a purchase-and-sale agreement (PSA) with buyer Goddard and asked the board to declare specific parcels surplus as part of the sale process.
Village Manager Evan said the PSA “sets forth conditions that both sides would perform on provided everything in the entitlement phase goes to plan” and explained that declaring the parcels as surplus would allow the village to advertise the sale and later consider the PSA for adoption. He said the southern lot line will move closer to the Veterans Memorial but the memorial itself will remain in village ownership and staff will negotiate cross-access easements to preserve parking access.
The parcels identified in exhibit A were described in the meeting packet as Lot 37, Lot 38 and part of Lot 39, excluding the Veterans Memorial. The board approved the resolution; the initial roll call recorded a 4–0 tally while one trustee was temporarily disconnected. After Trustee Anita Mittal reconnected she verbally recorded her vote in favor, making the final recorded vote 5–0.
The village manager and staff emphasized this action establishes the record parcel lines to support the PSA; final sale and entitlement approvals will follow the plan-commission and board processes required by local ordinance.
