Adjournment  MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Erik Berg, Management Analyst DATE: June 9, 2025 SUBJECT: Public Hearing Vacation: Wilson Right-of-Way Background The board of 1000 S. Lorraine Rd. Condominiums has filed a petition to vacate a certain right-of-way (ROW) which is a portion of Wilson Avenue (displayed on the right). A copy of the petition for this property is attached as Exhibit A and a copy of the Plat of Vacation is included as Exhibit B. Property owners within a 250-foot radius of the property were notified of the public hearing; notice of the public hearing was printed in the Daily Herald. Existing Conditions and Proposed Use – Wilson ROW The parcel is approximately 5,500 square feet in area and includes part of the property’s drive approach. The board is currently seeking a permit to expand the property’s parking lot, but since a portion of the drive approach to be expanded lies within City right-of-way, a vacation of the ROW is required to complete the project. Compensation Section 58-138(a)(4) of the Wheaton City Code details the appropriate compensation for requests for vacation. Since the City is maintaining an easement over the ROW, no compensation is required. The City will be maintaining an easement over the ROW for utilities; letters from utility companies – AT&T, Commonwealth Edison, Nicor, and Comcast - were included with the petition and are in Exhibit A. None of the utility companies objected to the request for vacation. The only other compensation required is the application fee, which covers the cost of legal notice, court reporting, and recording fees; this fee was submitted with the petition. Recommendation The petitioner has satisfied the Code’s requirements. Therefore, staff recommends that Council grant the petitioner’s request and vacate the Wilson ROW. Exhibits Attached: A.
