Ordinance Implementing a Municipal Grocery Retailers’ Occupation Tax and Municipal Grocery Service Occupation Tax for the Village of Lake Zurich (Assign Ord. #2025-04-608)  2 Summary: As part of the State of Illinois’ Fiscal Year 2025 budget, the General Assembly repealed the 1% statewide tax on groceries effective January 1, 2026. The State gave municipalities the authority to implement a replacement grocery sales tax to be enacted locally by ordinance. The 1% grocery tax generates approximately $1.3 million of General Fund revenue annually, which directly supports core municipal services of Police, Fire, and Public Works. The Village proposes to implement a municipal 1% grocery tax to replace the expiring state grocery tax. This change results in no increase in the taxes paid on grocery sales while maintaining a critical, stable revenue stream needed for municipal operations. E. Reduction in Letter of Credit for Zen Properties at 865 Telser Road Summary: Zen Properties provided a guarantee of site improvements in the form of a Letter of Credit (LOC) for $143,040.70 as a performance and payment security for sire work at the development. They have requested to reduce the guarantee to a maintenance LOC in an amount of $14,304.07 that has been agreed to by the Village’s Development Review Team. The reduced LOC is required to guarantee improvements for a period of two years and cannot be less than 10% of the total initial cost of improvements. Staff recommends a reduction of the LOC to $14,304.07. F. Reduction in Letter of Credit for Heritage Church at 255 Quentin Road Summary: Shawn Mann of Professional Building Services, representing Heritage Church, have provided a guarantee of site improvements in the form of a Letter of Credit for $470,510 as a performance and payment security for site work at the development. They have request to reduce the guarantee to a maintenance LOC in an amount of $42,773.70 that has been agreed to by the Village’s Development Review Team.

Ordinance Granting a Variation for a Swimming Pool at 202 Mark Lane (Assign Ord. #2025-04-609) Summary: Owner Mr. Jan Jozwiak has filed a zoning application to allow for a swimming pool to be constructed within the interior side yard at 202 Mark Lane. The proposed location will exceed the minimum rear setback requirement but require a variation to be located within the interior side yard. The proposed pool will be located 40 feet from the rear lot line and 29 feet from the interior side lot line. At the April 16, 2025 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, staff recommended approval of the variation for the pool and approval of the ordinance submitted to the Village Board.  3 H. Ordinance Amending Title 7, Chapter 6 of the Lake Zurich Municipal Code Concerning the Regulation of Trees (Assign Ord. #2025-04-610) Summary: The existing tree ordinance was last amended in October 2007. Since then, there have been mini text amendments in 2012, 2019, and 2023 to update certain procedural provisions. The current amendment proposes to add non-emergency tree pruning standards and penalties to the existing code with the remaining provisions of the Tree Ordinance remaining unaltered. I.
