Summary
The North Aurora Village Board on April 20 approved two ordinances finalizing the Silverleaf planned-unit development and map amendment for a 99-lot subdivision, including design guidelines, right-of-way dedications and code updates; the vote was unanimous.
The North Aurora Village Board on April 20 approved final ordinances to adopt the Silverleaf planned-unit development (PUD) and related map amendment, clearing the way for a 99-lot single-family subdivision in the village.
Nathan, a village staff member who presented the proposal, told the board the package updates the 2008 PUD to include design guidelines, right-of-way dedication, a bike path and revisions to impact-fee language and required improvements. "So the Silver Leaf Development is back for its final approval," Nathan said during his presentation.
The proposal was the subject of a brief public hearing. Resident Joe Kramer asked for specifics about minimum house and lot sizes. "I'd like to know what the minimum size for a single story house is in this," Kramer said. Nathan answered, "The minimum square footage that I recall was 1,800 square feet," and confirmed the smallest lot would be 9,500 square feet.
After discussion the board moved and seconded the ordinances. On the roll call the trustees recorded unanimous support as read by the clerk: Trustee Christiansen — yes; Trustee Curtis — yes; Trustee Gaitley — yes; Trustee Lowery — yes; Trustee Nejvedge — yes; Trustee Salazar — yes. The motion carried and the ordinances were adopted.
The approved measures update the village code sections tied to impact fees and required improvements for the project and include dedicated right-of-way and a planned bike path through the development. Village staff said the approvals conclude the board's legislative review; next steps will include final plats and administrative permitting before construction starts.
The public hearing and votes on the Silverleaf items took place during the April 20 Village Board meeting and were recorded as part of the official minutes.
