BACKGROUND:
On July 15, 2025, City Council passed Ordinance No. 25-066 approving the final plat of subdivision and owner's acknowledgement and acceptance agreement (OAA) for Northwoods of Naperville, a 64-unit townhome development comprised of approximately 12.18 acres located off Warrenville Road.

DISCUSSION:
The proposed Special Service Area No. 37 will provide funding for the continued operation, maintenance, repair and reconstruction of the private improvements for Northwoods of Naperville. The private improvements include, but are not limited to, all roads and driveways (including associated curb and gutter), streetlighting, sidewalks/carriage walks, trees, lift station with associated force main, sanitary gravity mains and service lines upstream of the lift station, water services from curb stop into each building, secondary electric service lines to the meters, storm sewer line and structures, and the storm water management facilities.
