NORTH AURORA – Village trustees will have to vote again on an ordinance to annex 41 acres on the west side of Orchard Road after Batavia Public Library was not notified of the pending annexation.

North Aurora village trustees and Village President Dale Berman last month voted 5 to 2 to
annex and rezone land on the west side of Orchard Road – north of Tanner Road – from estate residential to business zoning and multifamily housing.

But before voting on the ordinance, the village didn’t provide the required 10 days’ notice to the Batavia library as required by law. With the annexation, the land is being disconnected from the Batavia library and connected to Messenger Public Library in North Aurora.
