Railroad . The applicant proposes to develop the 35.321 acre parcel into an industrial subdivision to be known as the Oakridge Industrial Park. As part of the site preparation phase of the development, the applicant desires to mine gravel for on-site road construction, as well as for sale. III. FINDINGS After due notice, as required by law, the Land Use Committee held a public hearing on the proposed special use on August 3, 1987. The petitioner testified at the public hearing and presented documentary evidence. Objectors appeared at the hearing but no written objection has been filed to the proposed special use. The Land Use Committee has made the following findings with respect to Petition 51-87: A. Site Characteristics : The subject property is an irregularly shaped parcel containing approximately 35. 321 acres. Elevations range from 774 feet to 802 feet for a maximum relief of 28 feet. The property is not developed. B. Sewer and Water: The developer proposes to provide onsite stormwater detention on the northerly 250 feet of the subject property . A temporary stormwater detention basin is proposed to be located on Lot 9 and a portion of Lot -Page 1- Exhibit A 11 . No construction is to be permitted on the temporary stormwater detention basin until the permanent stormwater control facilities are completed . fl The subject property may be serviced through a 12 inch sanitary sewer located on the west side of the E.J. & E. railroad . The existing sanitary sewer line was designed and intended to serve the subject property. The subject property may be serviced through a 12 inch watermain which now services the property located on the west side of the E.J. & E. railroad, or the property may be serviced directly from the 16 inch Elgin-Bartlett watermain.

Traffic and Parking: The Route 20 Bypass serves as a major arterial street serving the south and west sides of the city. Route 20 has a design capacity of approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. Currently Route 20 carries approximately 23,000 vehicles per day. Assuming that an average of 45,000 square feet of building area will be constructed for every two acres of land, a total of 487, 241 square feet of gross floor area could be developed on the subject property. With 90 percent of the gross floor area developed with industrial use and 10 percent developed with office use, approximately 3,932 vehicle trips per day could be generated from the proposed development onto U.S. Route 20. Office uses generate approximately 17. 7 vehicle trips per day per 1 ,000 square feet of gross floor area. Industrial uses generate approximately 7 vehicle trips per day per 1 , 000 square feet of gross floor area . Off-street parking requirements for individual buildings will be determined during the plan review process , prior to the issuance of a building permit. Office uses require 1 parking space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. Industrial uses require 1 parking space per 1 ,000 square feet of gross floor area. Information concerning traffic generation and parking for the temporary mining use has not been supplied by the applicant. Sources: City of Elgin, Engineering Division.
