Belvidere adopts two annexation ordinances on second reading for Deer Hills and Blackhawk areas
Summary
On second reading the council approved Ordinances 7‑30H and 7‑31H to authorize an annexation agreement with Blackhawk/Blackhawk Reserve LLC and to annex parts of Deer Hills (plat 1) north of US Business Route 20; both ordinances passed unanimously on roll call.
The Belvidere City Council on July 21 approved two annexation ordinances on second reading.
Ordinance 7‑30H authorizes an annexation agreement between the City of Belvidere, Blackhawk and Blackhawk Reserve LLC, and Country Homes LLC; Alderman Peterson moved and Alderman Stevens seconded the motion. The ordinance passed on roll call with ten members recorded in favor.
Ordinance 7‑31H adopts the annexation of certain territory lying north of US Business Route 20 and east of Beaver Valley Road (identified in the record as plat 1 of the Deer Hills project). The mayor described the item as part of a long‑running effort to “mop that up” and noted the annexation is advantageous both now and for the future. Motion by Alderman Stevens, second by Alderman Peterson; the ordinance passed on roll call (10 in favor).
Both measures were taken as part of the council’s unfinished business on second reading and no amendments were made during the meeting. The ordinances move the properties into city jurisdiction; further details about zoning, utilities, or developer obligations were not discussed at length during the session and therefore are not reported here.
