70 townhomes proposed for former Siemens-Furnas factory site in Batavia. cityofbataviail
Pulte Home Co. proposes to build them on 18 acres at McKee Street and Van Nortwick Avenue. The development would straddle McKee, with about half of the townhouses being built next to H.C. Storm Elementary School.
The city council will hear a presentation about the idea at its committee of the whole meeting on Aug. 22. The meeting is at 7 p.m. at the Jeffery D. Schielke Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave. To build the townhouses, Pulte would need to get the council to rezone the land to a single-family residential high-density district. It currently is zoned for mixed uses.
Furnas Electric Co. began building on the southern part of the site around 1940 when Van Nortwick was on the western edge of Batavia. Siemens bought Furnas in the 1990s.The plant closed in 2006, and the buildings were torn down in 2009. The city took away its industrial zoning because aldermen did not want to see another factory or other industrial business built there.
In 2014, foundations were removed. The company removed contaminated soil in 2017. The land contained foundry sands containing black sand and black powder. The sands had hydrocarbons with levels too high to permit residential construction over them. The sands were used as fill as the factory expanded.
