Village of Lily Lake Elect New Leadership
We are a team of 5 responsible business men and woman who have come together to help make Lily Lake a better place to live!
Low Income Housing Coming Soon?
Why they never told you!
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE TRUCK PARKING:
The Illinois General Assembly defines “Affordable Housing” as “ housing that has value or cost or rental amount that is within the means of a household that may occupy moderate-income or low-income housing.” This definition can also be found in the Village’s of Lily Lakes“Affordable Housing Planning Act” (the “Plan”) dated April 23, 2021 and adopted by the Village on April 26, 2021. The Plan also contains calculations which determine the affordable rents and housing payments for Lily Lake. The details of these calculation can be found on pages 3 and 4 (please reference the below link)
The Plan states that due to the “relatively high value of land in Lily Lake makes it impractical to achieve the goal of the Plan through the creation of new affordable single-family detached dwellings.” It then goes on to say “Rather, the focus could be on the creation of new affordable units in multi-family buildings.” The Village is located in the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area (the “Chicago MSA”). The Chicago MSA assigned an affordable monthly rent payment of $916 to the areas that are located in the Chicago Metropolitan region.
The average rent for a 1 – 3 bedroom apartment in St. Charles, Batavia, and North Aurora is $1,600 - $2,400 per month. The average monthly rent for a similar sized apartment in Geneva is $1,700 - $2,600 per month. To find an area that offers rents that are considered affordable by the Chicago MSA calculations of $916 per month, you need to look at DeKalb.
The Village will need to plan for a minimum of 18 housing units to be built over a projected timeline of five to ten years. Nine of these units will need to be built within the first five to seven years. The remaining units are to be available in seven to ten years. We are already two years into this timeline. The Village will, therefore, need to complete the first set of units within the next three to five years.
How does the April 23, 2021 Plan adopted by the Village propose to accommodate the proposed multi-family buildings within this timeline? Through the “elective rezoning” of the approximately 27 acres located along the Route 64 and Route 47 corridor which is currently zoned B1, B2, and other “lightly commercially zoned areas”. The Plan further states that it will even “discourage and perhaps eliminate existing B2 land use.” The redevelopment/rezoning options of these parcels were also enacted to “encourage the termination” of what the Village views as failing businesses (please reference the September 14, 2020 and October 5, 2020 approved minutes of the Planning Commission).
All of the communities surrounding Lily Lake, such as Elburn and Wasco, have commercial components that offer economic value. These components are key to enabling their communities to ability to support their residents not only with much needed revenue but with valuable conveniences. The intersection of Route 47 and Route 64 is in the heart of Lily Lake. What people need to see is a thriving community and that is what we will work to achieve as members of the Village Board.

Treat All Home And Land Owners Equally
Open communication is readily sharing information between the residents and the officials using transparency, honesty and consistent, using a proven method. We do not believe communicating through a social media app is transparent. The current administration has been doing it this way for years and it doesn't work. you should not have to hunt for it, information should be provided to you directly.
