United City of Yorkville
Sunflower Estates HOA SSATown Hall MeetingAugust 27, 2013
Why we called this meeting We are proposing to fix three detention basins in the
subdivision
Basins have filled with silt and other debris, which reduces stormwater capacity
First option is to dredge the basins - $110,000 Annual SSA dues recommended to be $250 per home through 2023
Second option is to naturalize the basins - $55,000 Annual SSA dues recommended to be $150 per home through 2023
City must approve HOA SSA levy by December
Before we proceed…
The detention basin fix and the street flooding on Walsh Circle are not
related.
Location of Detention Basins
Naturalization vs. Dredging
Naturalization: Involves turning the basin into a wetland-
style basin
Benefits Cheaper than dredging, both in one-time
setup costs and ongoing maintenance Naturally filters pollutants in stormwater run
off Current standard for all new detention basins
in subdivisions
Naturalization drawback?
Naturalization vs. Dredging Dredging:
Simply removing the accumulated silt from the bottom of the basin
Benefits Leaves basin aesthetics as is
Drawbacks More expensive than naturalizing, both in initial cost
and long-term maintenance Must be done every 15-25 years No plant filtration of stormwater occurs
