PLANNING, BUILDING and DEVELOPMENT
8.4 21-1910
Committee action to amend an agreement extending the Final Plat approval date for the Wanish Park Planned Unit Development (PUD).
∙ The Final Plat for Wanish Park Planned Unit Development, originally approved by the Planning, Building and Zoning Committee in 2008, contains 94 townhome and condominium units with ownership/occupancy age-restricted to individuals 50+ and sets aside approximately 50% in permanent open space.
∙ On July 13, 2010, per Section 151.191 of the Lake County, Illinois Code of Ordinances, the Planning, Building and Zoning Committee entered into an agreement with the developer (Wanish, LLC) suspending the County’s approval of the Final Plat for Wanish Park PUD which enabled the release of the development’s performance assurances. The agreement with the developer included terms for completing or terminating the subdivision process. Due to economic constraints, the original agreement has been extended multiple times and is currently set to expire on December 31, 2021.
∙ Wanish, LLC is requesting a two-year extension of the agreement to retain the viability of the subdivision approval. This extension will provide the time needed for the property owner to negotiate sale of the property to a developer. The sixth amendment to the agreement extends the expiration date to December 31, 2023. Staff recommends approval of the agreement amendment, as attached.
8.5 21-1881
Discussion of franchise agreement highlights for residential waste collection service for non-exempted unincorporated areas in Lake County.
∙ As part of the landscape waste open burning and landscape waste disposal discussion over the past 2 years at the PWPT Committee, staff identified residential waste franchising (including landscape waste hauling) in non-exempted unincorporated areas as a practical opportunity to provide residents an alternative to open burning of landscape waste.
∙ Per Committee direction, a Request for Proposal was extended to 14 vendors, and sealed proposals were received from 4 vendors, while 1 vendor was determined to be non-responsive.
∙ Based on the criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals, the evaluation committee selected two vendors as the most favorable proposals. Vendor 1 will service the northwestern and northeastern quadrants of Lake County and Vendor 2 will service the southwestern and southeastern quadrants of Lake County. Waste collection services would start June 1, 2022.
∙ Staff will discuss key details from the waste hauling franchise agreements and bring those agreements forward to PWPT and F&A for action on January 5, 2022, and January 6, 2022, respectively.
8.6 21-1882
Discussion of an ordinance amending Chapter 94: Public Nuisances of the Lake County, Illinois Code of Ordinances regulating open burning of landscape waste.
∙ Over the past 2 years, the Planning, Building and Development Department have explored options for permanent open burning restrictions and landscape waste disposal and has sought and received significant public input on this topic.
∙ Based on direction received at the August 4, 2021 Joint Public Works, Planning & Transportation (PWPT) and Energy & Environment (E&E) Committee meeting, staff presented a draft set of text amendments restricting the open burning of landscape waste in the unincorporated areas to the PWPT Committee for consideration at its September 1, 2021 meeting.
∙ Staff will present the details on the revised amendments for Committee discussion prior to bringing the amendments back to Committee for recommendation and forward to the County Board for final action.
∙ If the County Board approves the ordinance, the regulations would take effect June 1, 2022.:
