The motion was declared carried by a roll call vote with six (6) aye votes and zero (0) nay votes. K.3 Block 11 SSA
a) Public Hearing for Establishing Special Service Area 21-SSA-01 for Certain Properties in Block 11.
The public hearing was opened at 7:15 p.m. Director Zenner presented the item.
The Village previously entered into a redevelopment agreement with the owner of the property located at 113 Main Street. As part of this agreement, the owner agreed to participate in a SSA to cover the maintenance of recent improvements to accommodate these developments. The Village recently completed several improvements in Block 11 in the downtown including constructing a new alley, parking lot, and a stormwater detention facility. The Village is proposing to establish an SSA to provide a source of funding to maintain these improvements that serve the block. The Village established a base budget to cover items such as:
• Check and clean the stormwater detention facility every 2 years
• Resurface the parking lot in 20 years
• Crack seal the parking lot and alley every 5 years
• Sealcoat the parking lot and alley every 5 years
• Striping the parking lot every 3 years
• Signage for the parking lot every 10 years
• Mowing
The estimated annualized cost over 20 years would be $5,000 per year. Therefore, the Village proposes a maximum SSA levy of $5 per every $100 of assessed value for a maximum of $5,000. This SSA would encompass the properties located at 113 Main Street, 121 Main Street, 110 Adams Street, and 63 W. Washington Street. As other Block 11 properties redevelop, staff would recommend that those properties be included into the SSA at that time so maintenance costs can be equitably shared.
There was no one who asked to speak during the public hearing. The public hearing was closed at 7:16 p.m.
b) Ordinance Establishing a Village of Oswego Special Service Area 21-SSA-01 for Certain Properties in Block 11. Ordinance No. 21-25

A motion was made by Trustee Perez and seconded by Trustee Sollinger to approve an Ordinance Granting a Special Use Permit to Allow for a Funeral Home in the B-2 Community Shopping District at 5600 Route 34; Bauman Family Funeral Home.
Board, staff, applicant and attorney discussion focused on the handling of chemicals; oversized septic; health code requirements; captive tank; will be able to utilize as part of the funeral home; chemicals would go down the drain into the septic system and regulated through the captive system; 64 ounces to three gallons of solution; would need to be pumped out by a medical waste hauler; unsure where they take it to; same as what medical and hospital providers do for disposal; future customers would come from Oswego, Yorkville and Montgomery. There was no further discussion.
