Multiple Ordinances of the Village of Villa Park, Illinois Regarding Variations Related to the Development and Construction of an Apartment Building Located at 27 W. Park Boulevard, Villa Park

As discussed at the last Village Board meeting, Ross Builders, Inc. proposes to redevelop certain property for the purpose of redeveloping, constructing and operating a four (4) story, twenty-four (24) unit market-rate apartment building with elevator, individual storage units on each floor, with internal and external parking.  A total of six (6) variations to the Village's Zoning Code are required in order to allow for the development as proposed.  Hearings were held before the Village's Planning & Zoning Commission on the requested variations. The Commission voted 6 – 0 to recommend approval of four of the variance requests indicating strict application of the zoning code or unique characteristics of the site create a hardship. The Commission voted 3 – 3 on two of the variance requests with not all of the Commissioners finding the Petitioner has sufficiently demonstrated that the variance requests for parking relief and lot coverage are due to hardship caused by conditions of the site, or practical difficulties of the zoning ordinance, and not based on financial return. 

The Village Board will consider six separate ordinances on this matter, with each ordinance independently addressing a variation requested by the developer related to the subject property.

Since the early 1990s, the Village has been utilizing a rejuvenating agent known as "Reclamite" as part of its preventative maintenance program to extend the life of asphalt roadways that have been resurfaced or reconstructed. Reclamite restores asphalt components that are lost during the pavement aging process and helps protect against the air and water intrusion into the pavement. This extends the quality of the road surface delaying the need for other costly road maintenance such as crack filling and patching. Due to the limited applicators for this type of product, the Village has historically received one bid for this work. Therefore staff is recommending to waive the bidding requirements and to award the a contract to Corrective Asphalt Materials, LLC of South Roxana, Illinois, in the amount of $68,580.49. Funds have been budgeted for this work in the Street Improvement Fund account number 60.502.02.299.
