ITEM SUMMARY:
The City Council approved an Intergovernmental Agreement in August of 2022 with the Forest Preserve
District of DuPage County providing for the eventual annexation of a 175-foot wide corridor within the
Blackwell Forest Preserve. The corridor is generally located on the south side of Gary’s Mill Road and
on the west side of Purnell Road. This corridor is currently unincorporated and contiguous to both the
current corporate limits of the City and the recently developed Trillium Farms residential subdivision. After
contiguity is achieved between the City’s corporate limits and Trillium Farms by way of this corridor,
Trillium Farms will eventually be annexed to the City, as is stipulated in the approved 2020 Pre-Annexa-
tion Agreement between the City and Pulte Home Company, developer of Trillium Farms.
The Intergovernmental Agreement to annex the Blackwell corridor was approved by the Forest Preserve
District in September of 2022 and serves as their petition for annexation of this corridor. A Plat of Annex-
ation of the corridor has been prepared and subsequently signed by the Forest Preserve District. City
staff has prepared an ordinance formally annexing the corridor to the City of West Chicago.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
