Helwig, City Manager SUBJECT: Facility Planning Area Amendment NIPC Water Quality Review Number 95-WQ-105 Village of Gilberts PURPOSE To provide the Mayor and Members of the City Council with comments and a recommendation concerning the City of Elgin' s position relative to the Village - of Gilberts ' proposed facilities planning area (FPA) amendment. BACKGROUND The Village of Gilberts has requested an amendment of state and areawide water quality management plans to reflect the transfer of 152 .57 acres from non-FPA areas in unincorporated Kane County into the Gilberts FPA so that wastewater service can be provided to a proposed residential development (see enclosed notice and application for water quality amendment) . The enclosed letter addressed to Ms . Deborah L. Washington, Director of Project Review for the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) forwards initial comments and a recommendation regarding the City of Elgin' s position relative to the proposed FPA amendment. The Village of Gilberts secured approval for a major addition of land to their facility planning area in 1993 . The Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission conditioned their support on the initiation of construction of a sanitary treatment plant and a local collection system within five (5) years . To date, the staff is unaware of any actions by the Village to initiate construction of the required facilities . In short, it is the staff ' s opinion that it is premature to permit an expansion of ' a facilities planning area which is not yet served by any sanitary sewer or collection system.

Deborah L. Washington Director, Project Review Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission 222 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 1800 Chicago, Illinois 60606 RE: Facility Planning Area Amendment NIPC Water Quality Review Number 95-WQ-105 Village of Gilberts Dear Ms . Washington: eft . The purpose of this letter is to forward comments and a recommendation regarding the City of Elgin' s position relative to the referenced facility planning area (FPA) amendment. The following is a summary of our initial comments and recommendation: COMMENTS 1. Property Description The subject property includes approximately 152 . 57 acres, located near the northwest corner of the intersection of Big Timber Road and Tyrell Road. The property is bisected by Tyler Creek and the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad right of way. Land cover includes woodlands, wetlands, and croplands . 2 . Surrounding Land Use and Zoning The areas located to the north and west of the subject property are located within the corporate limits of the Village of Gilberts . These areas are developed or will be developed with residential subdivisions . The areas located to the south and east of the subject property are located in unincorporated Kane County. These areas are developed with county forest preserves, a boy scout camp, estate residences, and cropland. The areas located to the immediate east and southeast of the subject (i) NIPC.LTR/PZTEXT/1000PL.PR/1400SA.PP/GLBRTFPA Printed on recycled paper property are within the Fox River Water Reclamation District (FRWRD) FPA. 3 . Regional Plans The Strategic Plan for Land Resource Management was adopted by the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) in 1992 . The two basic objectives of the plan are to improve the stewardship of environmental resources and to achieve a more balanced development pattern throughout the six county metropolitan area. This can only be achieved through intergovernmental coordination. The plan addresses two strategies to shape the form of the region. The first strategy involves the completion of the regional greenways network. The second strategy involves the development of Diversified Regional Centers (DRC) . Opportunities to establish a regional greenways network are identified in the Northeastern Illinois Regional Greenways Plan adopted by NIPC in 1992 . Greenways establish a buffer area which protects natural and cultural resources, provides recreation opportunities, and enhances the quality of life and the aesthetic appeal of neighborhoods and communities. Both Tyler Creek and the Chicago .and Northwestern Railroad right of way are identified in the plan as potential greenway and trail system corridors . The properties located in close proximity to the I-90 Tollway/Randall Road interchange will develop as a DRC. This DRC will have a regional impact beyond the boundaries of the Elgin corporate limits . The manner in which development occurs within this larger geographic area - the impacts on land use decisions, housing demand, transportation, utility service, stormwater management, open space, the environment; will involve issues of regional concern. The solutions will require intergovernmental coordination and cooperation. 4 . County Plan The Kane County Regional Planning Commission is nearing completion of a public hearing draft of the 2020 Land Resource Management Plan for Kane County. The cover letter included with the public review draft of the plan states that "Kane County is rapidly approaching a crossroads due to increasing growth, expanding municipal boundaries, and renewed pressure on open space and natural resources . At this crossroads are two basic choices : Balanced, managed growth or conventional suburban sprawl . The choice is ours ! r With this plan, regional and municipal planning officials, elected officials, and citizens throughout Kane County can take the initiative and move into the 21st century by forging ahead to support the cooperation, coordination, and NIPC.LTR/PZTEXT/1000PL.PR/1400SA.PP/GLBRTFPA rift formation of partnerships needed to achieve the desired future character of Kane County" . The proposed plan recommends the creation of eight planning partnership areas (PPA) in Kane County. The "Greater Elgin PPA" includes Elgin and the Villages of Gilberts, Sleepy Hollow, and Pingree Grove. One of the implementation strategies in the proposed plan calls for the various planning jurisdictions to develop land resource management plans for all or parts of each of the eight PPAs, and to adopt those plans through intergovernmental agreements based on the provisions of the Local Land Resource Management Planning Act. The 2020 Land Use Plan included with the public review draft of the Land Resource Management Plan designates the majority of the subject property as "proposed open space, conservation, recreation, drainage area" . The remainder of the property is designated "resource management area" . The open space designation recognizes the greenway/trail system potential along the stream course and rail line, and the value of the adjoining wetlands and woodlands . The proposed open space on the subject property, in combination with existing and proposed open space areas adjoining the property, create a critical mass for a large bio-reserve located central to the Greater Elgin PPA. 5 . Elgin Plan The Elgin Planning Department and the Elgin Planning and Development Commission are considering a number of revisions to be incorporated into a public hearing draft of the proposed Far West Area Plan for the City of Elgin. The objective is to see the plan adopted during the first half of this year and to negotiate the primary elements of an intergovernmental agreement between the City, Kane County, and other interested planning jurisdictions by the end of the year. The proposed plan endorses NIPC' s Strategic Plan for Land Resource Management. The proposed plan includes many of the same basc goals and objectives found in Kane County' s draft 2020 Land Resource Management Plan. The Far West Area Plan represents a commitment by the City of Elgin to quality land resource management - directing a balance among the need for development, the cost of development, and the conservation of the natural environment. 6 . Tyler Creek Demonstration Project rft The City of Elgin, Village of Gilberts, Kane County Development Department, Kane Forest Preserve District, and Openlands Project, with the support of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and other interested NIPC.LTR/PZTEXT/1000PL.PR/1400SA.PP/GLBRTFPA parties have participated in the development of a plan to protect and restore Tyler Creek. In a report just released by the Openlands Project, Protecting and Restoring Tyler Creek: Creating an Ecological Greenway in a Watershed Context, the portion of Tyler Creek which bisects the subject property is identified as one of three existing high quality reaches where protection of critical stream and stream corridor areas is recommended as the primary goal . It is suggested that the Kane County Forest Preserve District is the most appropriate agency to lead in protecting the high quality areas of the Tyler Creek watershed. 7 . NIPC Water Quality Review Number 93-WQ-005, Village of Gilberts The Water Resources Committee of the Northeastern Planning Commission viewed its support of the transfer of 440 acres from non-FPA areas in Kane County into the Gilberts FPA in 1993 as a short-term, interim response to area wastewater needs . The committee recognized the Village of Gilberts ' intent to secure sewer service with the construction of an IEPA permitted treatment facility through a partnership with a local developer. Support was, in part, focused on the provision of sewers to the Village of Gilberts to address •rowin• se•tic s stem •roblems. Su• •ort was conditioned on the initiation of construction of the sanitary treatment plant and local collection system for problem septic areas within five years, or the Commission would rescind its support and petition the IEPA to reverse any related FPA amendment. No construction has been initiated to date and, as the current petition indicates, the Village of Gilberts is still in the process of siting a new waste water treatment facility. Now the Village of Gilberts is requesting to add 157 acres to the FPA in support of a development forecasted to include an additional 323 households and 1100 persons. RECOMMENDATION The City of Elgin objects to the proposed change to the Gilberts FPA until such time that Kane County, Elgin, the Village of Gilberts, and the other planning jurisdictions in the area have had an opportunity discuss land resource management issues which will impact upon the region.

Relationship to Adopted Water Quality Management Plans Gilberts Facilities Planning Area The Village of Gilberts is the designated management agency for the Gilberts FPA. The 1979 Area wide Water Quality Management Plan for Northeastern Illinois, stated the following for the Gilberts FPA. Gilberts FPA There are no municipal type plants in the Gilberts FPA. The Gilberts Needs Analysis report noted that the Village would probably to unable to afford a sewage collection and treatment system. Unfortunately, Gilberts also faces the problem of soils unsuitable for on-site disposal for septics. The recommended plan calls for the continued decentralized treatment of wastewater within the Gilberts FPA. Treatment would be provided by septic systems in areas where they work properly. Nontraditional alternatives, such as mounded sand absorption fields, the partial sewering of problems areas to a community absorption field, or the partial sewering to holding tanks with trucking of sewage to a treatment plant would be considered in areas unsuitable for septics. The following amendments have been approved by I'EPA since the adoption of the AWQMP and the Illinois Water Quality Management Plan. • Village of Gilberts request to reflect the following: 1) Phase I construction and operation of a new 0.75 mgd mechanical wastewater treatment facility to serve the existing Gilberts FPA with discharge to Tyler Creek; and, 2) termination of Village of Gilberts' NPDES permit for its proposed aerated lagoon system treatment facility (NIPC WQ No. 94-WQ-005). NPDES Permit was modified by IEPA on June 6, 1994 to reflect new facility. • Transfer of 440 acres from non-FPA areas in Kane County into the Gilberts FPA (NIPC WQ No. 93-WQ-005). • Village of Gilberts request for construction and operation of a new 0.25 mgd aerated lagoon treatment plant. IEPA granted NPDES permit on 12-31-91 (NIPC WQ No. 91-WQ-017). ■ Holiday Park request for new treatment plant to service 411-unit mobile home park. IEPA granted NPDES permit on 7-22-85 after public hearing (NIPC WQ No. 84-WQ-034). Plant has not been constructed as of 2-1-93. • r • • Notice of Public Meeting Page 4 NIPC WQ Review No. 95-WQ-105 3. Review Considerations The staff review and subsequent Water Resources Committee consideration of the requested amendment will be based on the "Recommended Criteria for Facilities Amendments to the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan for Northeastern Illinois." These criteria delineate five conditions which must be met as necessary prerequisites for any amendment and an additional four conditions also of concern to the Commission. The Commission welcomes any and all comments regarding the relationship of the requested amendment to these criteria. Prerequisite Criteria:, These conditions are a necessary prerequisite of any amendment. 1 . Any proposed facility amendment must be designed to meet State of Illinois water quality standards for the receiving waters and the appropriate discharge standards, or must receive a variance from the Illinois Pollution Control Board. 2. The population and employment for which the proposed amendment is designed must fall within the twenty-year forecasts for the facility planning area most recently adopted by the Commission, or the Commission may agree to adjustments within the regional forecast total: 3. The applicant must demonstrate that the unit of local government granting zoning to the project has formally accepted financial responsibility for the wastewater treatment system in event of system malfunction or failure. Such acceptance must be in the form of a resolution from the unit of local government granting zoning. 4 The proposed amendment should not reduce the effectiveness of the water quality improvement strategy contained in the original plan, either point for • nonpoint source control. 5. The proposed amendment should not adversely affect the cost effectiveness of the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan for meeting water quality standards in the facility planning area as a whole. Supporting Criteria The following conditions will be considered as amendment requests are reviewed. The Commission and/or the areawide Water Resources Committee will judge the importance of each criterion on a case-by-case basis. rik 6. The proposed amendment should have the endorsement of the designated management agency for wastewater treatment and substantial support by the municipalities within the affected facility planning area. • Notice of Public Meeting Page 5 NIPC WQ Review No. 95-WQ-105 . 7. The proposed amendment should not adversely affect adjoining units of government. 8. The proposed amendment should be consistent with other county and regional plans or state policies, such as the Governor's Executive Order #4 on the preservation of agricultural land. Likewise, provisions of Illinois Senate Bill 172 (Public Act 82-682) should be met. If the proposal would require the amendment of another regional plan, the Commission will consider the wisdom of that amendment at the same time. 9. Consideration will be given to evidence of municipal or county zoning approval and commencement of development activity prior to Areawide Water Quality Management Plan adoption in January, 1979.
