[ARCHIVED] Prairie Winds Apartment Project In St. Charles

The original item was published from July 28, 2017 3:01 PM to July 1, 2018 12:15 AM

Rumor
The City of Geneva has the authority and/or jurisdiction regarding the 250-apartment Prairie Winds development located along the north side of Bricher Road, immediate west of the Lowes store, between Randall and Peck roads.

Fact
The City of Geneva does not have any authority or jurisdiction regarding the Prairie Winds project since it is located in the City of St. Charles.

While Geneva does maintain Bricher Road, Geneva’s participation in the development plan centered exclusively on stormwater management and traffic impacts. The former was consistent with Kane County’s stormwater management standards and the latter was enhanced based on Geneva’s review and recommendations (via an independent third party traffic consultant).

In addition, the City of Geneva pledges to remain attentive to any and all traffic issues and Prairie Winds develops, and as always, will work with the City of St. Charles (and the developer) to explore and advance traffic mitigating solutions as warranted.

The Prairie Winds project was approved by St. Charles City Council on May 1, 2017.  Approved plans for the project are posted on St. Charles’s website.
