Principal Planner Armstrong presented the project which will include 186 single family homes.
The Planning and Development Commission has recommended approval of this project subject
to the conditions outlined in the submitted memorandum.
Attorney Patrick Rankin represented Remington Homes. He indicated that Remington Homes is
aware of concerns expressed by the neighboring subdivision and several members of the City
Council and he addressed them as follows:
Item number one dealt with the two access roads between the two subdivisions.
Mr. Rankin indicated that Remington Homes is willing to design the two access
points such that they are gated so as not to physically connect.
Item number two concerned the type of lighting. Mr. Rankin said that Remington
Homes is committed to installing the same type of light standard as used in the
Providence subdivision.
Item three concerned the lift station and who will pay for it. Mr. Rankin indicated
that Remington Homes will pay for this improvement.
The last item concerned Lots 33 and 34 on the plan. These two lots are located
near the wetlands and Remington has committed to not building on either of those
lots.
Councilmember Kaptain asked when Remington Homes had met with the Oak Ridge Farm
residents and Mr. Rankin replied that this took place between the first and second Planning
Commission hearings. He indicated no meetings had been held with the residents since the first
of the year.
A Remington Homes representative then described the two detention ponds located within the
proposed subdivision.
Several residents of Oak Ridge Farm subdivision then addressed the Council with their concerns
regarding conservation of wetlands, connectivity of streets, and safety.
Mr. Rankin then repeated Remington Homes’ desire to do whatever the City directed regarding
the connectivity of the two access points between Oak Ridge Farm and the proposed subdivision.
Discussion regarding different types of gates or landscape barriers then took place. Council was
advised by a staff member of the Fire Department that a fire engine weighs approximately
76,000 pounds and that driving through a grassy area during the winter or during a wet season
could be difficult.
Councilmember Figueroa asked who would maintain the gate, if one were installed. Mr. Rankin
replied that would be either the City or the homeowners’ association, depending on the
covenants of the agreement.

installation of decorative gates or collapsible bollards at the connections to Longview and
Greenview Lanes. The type of barrier is to be decided by a representative from the Oak Ridge
Farm Homeowner’s Association, a City Staff member, and a representative of Remington
Homes. If, at a future date, the gate is to be removed, both neighborhoods are to be properly
consulted. Councilmember Kaptain stated he would not support the proposal because of the
lack of continuity of growth and the necessity of the sewer pump station.

1. Whenever a police officer has probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle is
subject to seizure and impoundment pursuant to this section, the police officer
shall provide for the towing of the motor vehicle to a facility controlled by the
city or its agents. When the motor vehicle is towed, the police officer shall notify
the person who is found to be in control of the motor vehicle at the time of the
alleged violations, if there is such a person, of the fact of the seizure and of the
motor vehicle owner's right to request a preliminary hearing to be conducted
under this section.
2. Whenever the owner of a motor vehicle seized pursuant to this section requests
a preliminary hearing within twelve (12) hours after the seizure, a deputy police
chief of the city or his designee shall conduct such preliminary hearing within
twenty four (24) hours after the seizure, excluding Sundays and holidays. All
interested persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the
preliminary hearing. The formal rules of evidence will not apply at the hearing. If,
after the hearing, the deputy police chief or his designee determines that there is
probable cause to believe that the motor vehicle was used in the violation of
subsection A of this section he shall order the continued impoundment of the
motor vehicle as provided in this section unless the owner of the vehicle posts
with the city a cash bond in the amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00)
plus fees for towing and storing the motor vehicle. If the deputy police chief or his
designee determines that there is no such probable cause, the motor vehicle will
be returned without penalty or other fees.
3. Within ten (10) days after a motor vehicle is seized and impounded pursuant to
this section, the city shall notify by personal service or by certified mail, return
receipt requested, the owner of record of the date, time and location of a hearing
that will be conducted pursuant to this section. The hearing shall be scheduled and
held, unless continued by order of the court or hearing officer, not less than fifteen
(15) days and not more than forty five (45) days after the vehicle was seized. All
interested persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the
hearing. If after a hearing, it is determined by a preponderance of evidence that
the motor vehicle was used in the commission of any of the violations described
in subsection A of this section the motor vehicle shall continue to be impounded
until the owner pays a penalty of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) plus fees for
towing and storage of the motor vehicle. The penalty and fees shall be a debt due
and owing the city. However, if a cash bond has been posted the bond shall be
applied to the penalty. If it is determined at a hearing that the motor vehicle was
not used in such a violation, the vehicle or cash bond shall be returned without
penalty or other fees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section,
whenever a person with a lien of record against a motor vehicle impounded under
this section has commenced foreclosure proceedings, possession of the motor
vehicle shall be given to that person if he agrees in writing to refund to the city
the net proceeds of any foreclosure sale, less any amount necessary to pay all lien

holders of record, up to the total amount of penalties imposed under this
subsection C.
4. Any motor vehicle that is not reclaimed within thirty (30) days after the
expiration of the time during which the owner of record may seek judicial review
of the city's action under this section, or the time at which a final judgment is
rendered in favor of the city, or the time a final administrative decision is
rendered against an owner of record who is in default, may be disposed of as an
unclaimed motor vehicle as provided by law.
Section 3. Severability. If any provision, clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of
this ordinance or application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall for any reason be
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, said judgment
shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this ordinance and the application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances, but shall be confined in its operation to the
provision, clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved in the
controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and to the person or circumstances
involved. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent of the City Council that this ordinance
would have been adopted had such unconstitutional or invalid provisions, clause, sentence,
paragraph, section or part thereof not been included
Section 4. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of
this ordinance be and are hereby repealed.
Section 5. That this ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and
publication in the manner provided by law.

ORDINANCE S10-07 PASSED GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM CERTAIN
PROVISIONS OF THE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE PASSED FOR
THE PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS 601 SOUTH STATE STREET (ELGIN
SHORES FOREST PRESERVE)

Ordinance No. S10-07
AN ORDINANCE
GRANTING A VARIANCE FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
FOR THE PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS
601 SOUTH STATE STREET (ELGIN SHORES FOREST PRESERVE)
WHEREAS, the city has adopted a Stormwater Management Ordinance to promote
effective, equitable, acceptable and legal stormwater management measures by establishing
reasonable rules and regulations for development that include managing and mitigating the
effects of urbanization on stormwater drainage through planning, appropriate engineering
practices and proper maintenance, and through the promulgation of rules and regulations for
protecting the public health and safety and reducing the potential for loss of human life and
property from flood damage; and
WHEREAS, the Stormwater Management Ordinance is codified in Title 21 of the Elgin
Municipal Code and includes standards and procedures for granting variances from the
provisions of the Stormwater Management Ordinance when strict compliance with the
requirements of the Stormwater Management Ordinance are impracticable; and
WHEREAS, the Stormwater Management Ordinance requires new construction to be
made at the flood protection elevation (FPE); and
VOLUME LXXII JULY 25, 2007
542
WHEREAS, the development 601 South State Street (the “Subject Site”) by the City of
Elgin and the Forest Preserve District of Kane County (collectively, the “developer”)
contemplates the construction of a recreational area with adjoining off-street parking facilities, a
boat launch, a boardwalk, and grading for a detention basin and compensatory storage; and
WHEREAS, the development of the subject site is unique because it is located in the Fox
River floodplain, and strict compliance with the Stormwater Management Ordinance would
require filling the eastern portion of the proposed detention facility for the subject site in order to
create a berm two feet above the 100-year floodplain elevation of the Fox River; and
WHEREAS, the fill required to create the compensatory storage on the Subject Site
required under the Stormwater Management Ordinance will have a greater, negative impact to on
the on-site natural wetland and woodland areas on the subject site than the proposed stormwater
variations being sought; and
WHEREAS, the proposed stormwater variations essentially reduce the volume of the
proposed detention basin to a conservative, zero discharge rate due to the detention basin’s
location in the floodplain; and
WHEREAS, the proximity of the detention basin to the Fox River suggests that the
detention basin will reach a peak elevation and access the compensatory storage on the Subject
Site before the Fox River reaches maximum crest; and
WHEREAS, the stormwater variance being sought for the Subject Site is not for the
purpose of increasing impervious area on the site, but rather to reduce floodplain fill, and will not
increase the probability of flood damage nor lessen the degree of protection to any structure; and
WHEREAS, the Subject Site is not located in the floodway or in a wetland and
incorporated Best Management Practices through water quality basins adjacent to impervious
areas; and
WHEREAS, the developer has applied, pursuant to Petition 12-07, for variances from
certain provisions of the of the Stormwater Management Ordinance, such sections being Section
203(i)(b) which governs the construction of storage facilities within the regulatory floodplain;
203(h)(1) which requires a minimum of two fee of freeboard above the base flood elevation
around the perimeter of detention facilities; and, 203(h)(12) which sets requirements for
maximum allowable water level fluctuation; and
WHEREAS, the city’s Planning and Development Commission unanimously
recommended approval of the variance request under Petition 12-07 during its April 2, 2007
meeting, the Planning and Development Commission’s finding of facts for Petition 12-07 being
incorporated into this ordinance by reference as if set out herein in full.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Elgin,
Illinois as follows:
JULY 25, 2007 VOLUME LXXII
543
Section 1. Incorporation of Preambles. The preambles of this ordinance are hereby
incorporated into this ordinance as if set out herein in full.
Section 2. In accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 9 of the Stormwater
Management Ordinance, Petition 12-07, seeking a variance from the provisions of Sections
203(i)(b), 203(h)(1) and 203(h)(12) of the Stormwater Management Ordinance, to construct a
recreational area with adjoining off-street parking facilities, a boat launch, a boardwalk, and
grading for a detention basin and compensatory storage, at 601 South State Street, is hereby
granted, subject to the developer’s substantial conformance with the Statement and Purpose and
Application for Variance dated November 1, 2006, with revisions dated March 7, 2007, as
prepared by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd., and in substantial conformance with the
Development Plans prepared by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd., last dated April 17,
