Menard’s Project (Sanitary Sewer) History.

 

September, 2004.  Referral to the November 2, 2004 Plan Commission Meeting for Public Hearing for the Menard’s PUD and Annexation of the property located at the Northwest Corner of Lake-Cook Road and Old Route 53.

 

The Bridge Newsletter- Across The Board – Fourth Quarter 2004.  Referrals to Plan Commission.  9/28/04.  November 2, 2004 Plan Commission Meeting for Public Hearing:  Menard’s Planned Unit Development and Annexation at the Northeast Corner of Lake-Cook Road and Old Route 53.

 

The Bridge Newsletter- Comment – Fourth Quarter 2004.  The proposed Menards Retail Development.  The exact location of the sanitary sewer has yet to be determined.  Menards is exploring either running it along old Route 53 or possibly Old Hicks Road within the existing pubic right-of-way to limit impact on adjoining properties.  The latter option may be preferred by all because; (1) there would be no need to obtain easements from private property owners or permission from IDOT within its right-of way.  A required easement from the Village would have to be negotiated; (2) The Old Hicks Road alignment would be closer to residential properties that may need future sewer hook ups; (3) Old Hicks Road would bring the sewer through the nine-acre parcel and would provide service to it; (4) the Village would get a freshly paved road.  Menards is reviewing the engineering and will get back to the Village.

 

November 2004 – February 1, 2005.  Having considered the Menard’s application during the course of four (4) meetings (November 2, 2004; December 7, 2004; January 4, 2005 and February 1, 2005) the Plan Commission conditionally recommended approval of the request for approval of the following:  (1) Zoning Code Text Amendment to create the Highway Retail “HR” Zoning District; (2) Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the subject parcel as HR; (3) Special Use for a PUD and (4) Preliminary Subdivision Plat.

What’s Happening With The New Menard’s Store. 

We expect that the last of the approvals will come this summer.  Soon afterward, Menard’s will begin the installation of a sanitary sewer under Checker Road and Schaeffer Roads.  During that time, both roads will be reduced to single lane traffic.  Construction details will be provided to all affected households before the sewer project begins.  For more information, please call Village Manager David Lothspeich at 847-634-9440.
