Fox River Grove asks staff to study recapture agreement after resident-funded Johnson Street sewer extension
Summary
A resident paid to install a 100–200 ft sanitary sewer extension on Johnson Street and asked for a recapture agreement to reimburse them if future properties connect; the board directed staff to examine logistics and costs, with the petitioner offering to pay direct agreement-preparation costs.
At its July 2 meeting the Fox River Grove Village Board heard from Administrator Soderholm about a privately funded sanitary sewer extension on Johnson Street. One property owner paid for the installation of a single sanitary sewer line extension, described in the minutes as roughly 100–200 feet, and has requested that the village consider a recapture agreement to reimburse that owner should future properties choose to connect to the line.
Administrator Soderholm said the petitioner would pay the direct costs involved in preparing the recapture agreement. The board discussed the general logistics and expressed a consensus for staff to investigate options and return with recommendations; no formal motion or vote to approve an agreement was recorded.
The minutes do not specify the property owner's name, the exact measured length of the extension, or an estimated reimbursement schedule. Staff follow-up will need to determine applicable connection fees, any formula for reimbursement, affected parcels, and whether village ordinances or state rules constrain recapture arrangements.
