ITEM SUMMARY:
The Thorntons Gas Station at 1330 S. Neltnor Boulevard is located at the northwest corner of Illinois
Route 59 (Neltnor Boulevard) and Illinois Route 38 (Roosevelt Road). In 2016 the City issued permits for
the construction of a new gas station and appurtenances, new parking lot and drive aisles, storm sewers,
stormwater management facility and BMP system, and installation of a new 8” diameter watermain and
two fire hydrants for fire protection purposes.
The referenced project has substantially been complete since August 2018; however, the City has not
formally accepted the development’s public improvements. The Developer has satisfactorily completed
all required public improvements, and there have been no maintenance issues over the past several
months. The developer has posted a Maintenance Bond in the amount of 10% of the estimated
construction cost for the public improvements being accepted per the Subdivision Regulations. The
Maintenance Bond will be held for eighteen months from the date of acceptance. The Developer has
requested the City accept said public improvements and release their original development security.
The developer has submitted the required Final Waivers of Lien, Deed of Conveyance/Bill of Sale, and
as-built drawings, for this project. A water main easement was recorded with the DuPage County
Recorder’s Office in August 2018. Staff recommends that City Council approve the following:
1. Acceptance of all water distribution system improvements located within a dedicated public right-of-
way or dedicated easement area, as installed as part of the Thorntons Gas Station Project, as City of
West Chicago ownership and maintenance responsibility.
The water service lines (from the water service shut-off valve or b-box to the building), the irrigation water
lines, and the fire suppression lines (from the water shut-off valve at the City main to the building), shall
remain the ownership and maintenance responsibility of the property owner.
The Development's overland stormwater drainage systems, stormwater detention basin, stormwater
management BMP system, storm sewer system, underdrain system, all on-site sanitary sewer main and
service lines, and the interior parking lots and roadways, shall remain the ownership and responsibility of
the property owner.
Staff from the Department of Community Development has inspected the development improvements
and recommends acceptance. Staff also recommends the release of the original development security
held for said development.
