VOTES
The Board voted on the following items during the formal meeting:
- Approved: An Ordinance Rezoning Property to the R-3 Residential District, Granting an Amendment to a Special Use for a Planned Unit Development and Approving a Preliminary P.U.D. Plat for Southern Crossings
- The Village Board approved Lennar's request to amend the existing Special Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development (PUD), approve the Preliminary PUD Plat, and rezone approximately 27 acres in the Southern Crossings area to the R-3 Residential District. The development includes conditions related to roadway standards, park land dedication, architectural requirements, public safety accommodations, and long-term maintenance projections, along with specific code departures to allow smaller lots and modified setbacks. The proposal, recommended for approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission in a 4-2 vote, aligns with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and provides an appropriate transition between commercial and residential areas.
- Approved: An Ordinance Approving and Authorizing the Execution of a Development Agreement with Calatlantic Group, LLC (Lennar)
- The Board of Trustees approved a Development Agreement between the Village of Channahon and Calatlantic Group, LLC for the 27.6-acre Southern Crossings property, establishing terms for rezoning to R-3, creation of a new Planned Unit Development, and construction of required public and private improvements. The agreement outlines development standards, infrastructure obligations, architectural requirements, fees, and long-term maintenance provisions, ensuring the project proceeds in accordance with approved plans and in the best interest of the Village and its residents.
- Approved: Award Route 6 Water Main Improvements
- The Village Board has awarded the 2026 Route 6 Water Main Improvement project to Steve Spiess Construction in the amount of $1,750,386.00 for installation of ductile iron water main, consistent with Village standards. The project includes approximately 3,590 feet of 16-inch water main, 220 feet of 12-inch water main, and related work, with pricing reflective of the anticipated Route 6 crossing conditions.

- The Board of Trustees approved the purchase of a new Flygt plant water pump in the amount of $27,738.70 to support operations within the Wastewater and Streets Divisions.
