FINDINGS OF FACT
LAND USE COMMITTEE
PLANNING AND LAND USE COMMISSION
CITY OF ELGIN
I. SUBJECT
Consideration of Petition 21-91 Requesting a M-i Limited
Manufacturing District Special Use for a Planned Unit
Development, a R-4 General Residence District Special Use
for a Planned Unit Development, a Rezoning from M-1
Limited Manufacturing District to R-4 General Residence
District, and Preliminary Plat Approval, Property Located
on the South Side of East Chicago Street, East and West of
Ceresa Drive, by Woodview Development, Inc. , as Applicant
and Progressive Enterprises and Ron Hopkins, as Owners.
II. CONSIDERATIONS
A petition has been filed by Woodview Development, Inc.
requesting a rezoning from R-4 to R-4 PUD and M-1 to R-4 ,
special use approval for a residential planned unit
development, and preliminary plat approval. The subject
property is located south of East Chicago Street, west of
and adjacent to the Elgin High School athletic fields.
The petitioner proposes to develop the subject property
with 304 townhouse units. Approximately seven acres of
land fronting on East Chicago Street would be retained for
commercial development.
III.FINDINGS
After due notice, as required by law, the Land Use
Committee held a public hearing on Petition 21-91 on May
6, 1991 . The petitioner testified at the public hearing
and presented documentary evidence. Objectors appeared at
the hearing and written objection has been filed.
The Land Use Committee has made the following findings
with respect to Petition 21-91:
A. Site Characteristics: The subject property contains
approximately 65.019 acres, of which approximately
20.27 acres are located within the Poplar Creek
Floodplain. The property is undeveloped.
Elevations range' from approximately 800 feet at the
northeast corner of the property to 742 feet at the
southwest corner for a maximum relief of approximately
58 feet. A substantial grove of oak trees is located
Exhibit A
-Pace 1 -
along the north ridge line of the Poplar Creek
floodplain. The property includes three separate
areas which have been identified as wetlands.
B. Sewer and Water: Sanitary sewer service is to be
provided by connecting into an existing 24 inch
sanitary sewer line. Storm water is proposed to be
detained in two detention areas and then discharged
into Poplar Creek. Water service is to be provided by
a proposed twelve inch watermain, which would complete
a loop between an existing 23 inch watermain, located
along East Chicago Street, and an existing, sixteen
inch watermain, located along Varsity Drive.
The proposed twelve and eight inch watermains would
have adequate capacity to serve the proposed
development. It shall be the developer's
responsibility to demonstrate that the proposed six
inch watermain's located in the cul-de-sacs would have
adequate capacity to serve the proposed multiple unit
buildings.
C. Traffic and Parking: The proposed development
features two points of access. One point of access
intersects with East Chicago Street and aligns with
Ceresa Drive. The second point of access intersects
Villa Street via Varsity Drive.
East Chicago Street carries approximately 14,500
vehicles per day. Villa Street carries approximately
9,500 vehicles per day.
Townhouses generate approximately 5.2 vehicle trips
per dwelling unit. Accordingly, the proposed 304 unit
residential development could generate 1,580 vehicle
trips onto the adjoining street system.
No specific plans have been submitted for the
development of the proposed commercial site.
Development of the site would be significantly impacted
by changes in the existing grades. Accordingly, an
estimate of traffic which could be generated by
commercial development of the site is not provided.
The off-street parking spaces required to serve the
development of the commercial site would vary
depending on the proposed use of the property.
Provision of the minimum number of parking spaces
required to serve a particular use is a condition of
site plan approval.

-Page 2 -
D. Zoning History: The subject property was annexed and
rb. zoned M-1 in 1962. Portions of the property were
rezoned to R-4 and B-4 in 1988, and a special use for
a residential planned unit development was approved.
The special use expired in 1989 .
E. Zoning Status: The subject property is unimproved.
However, the property can be developed in accordance
with the zoning and subdivision ordinance standards.
F. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: The area located to
the north of the subject property is zoned B-3, B-4
and M-1 . The area is developed with an automobile
dealership, and various other commercial and
manufacturing uses.
The area located to the east of the subject property
is zoned R-2. The area is developed with Elgin High
School.
The area located to the south of the subject property
is zoned R-2, M-1 and B-4 . The area is developed with
various commercial and industrial uses.
The area located to the west of the subject property
is zoned B-3 and M-1. The area is developed with the
Elgin Rifle Club, various industrial uses and mobile
home parks.
G. Trend of Development: East Chicago Street and Villa
Street have experienced a commercial strip pattern of
development. The most prominent land use along East
Chicago Street is the concentration of automobile
dealerships. Development along the Villa Street
commercial strip has been piecemeal and unrelated.
Other prominent land uses in the area include Elgin
High School, mobile home parks, and residential
subdivisions being developed by U.S. Shelter.
H. Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is
designated "urban residential" and "open space"
(Poplar Creek floodplain) . The . East Chicago Street
frontage is included in an area designated
"transportation corridor" .
I. Planned Unit Development Departures: The proposed
planned unit development departs from the R-4 District
standards regulating lot area, lot width, floor area
ratio, and yards. In addition, the proposed
development departs from the definition of a "lot" ,
and the concept of "purity of zoning" . The proposed
development departs from the subdivision standards
regulating the centerline curvature of streets and the
design of cul-de-sacs.
-Page 3 -
J. Fiscal Impact:The fiscal impact analysis is based on a
"' development proposal considered in 1990 . It should be
noted that the proposed development features 24 fewer
dwelling units and addition commercial acreage.
The fiscal impact of a residential development must be
viewed in terms of existing and future revenue
generating land uses located within the City of Elgin
and School District U-46 . The residential, commercial
and industrial components of the land use system are
highly interdependent from a fiscal impact point of
view. Accordingly, the fiscal impact of a residential
development must be considered within the context of
the entire land use system.
K. Suitability of Present Zoning: In view of the
surrounding land use and zoning, the trend of
• development in the area, and the goals, objectives and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use
Committee is of the opinion that the current M-1
Limited Manufacturing District zoning of "Parcel 3" is
unsuitable, and should be rezoned to R-4 General
Residence District.
L. Planned Unit Development Standards: The Land Use
Committee is of the opinion that the proposed planned
unit development is in substantial conformance with
the planned unit development standards.
M. Conditions for Approval: The Land Use Committee is of
the opinion that approval of Petition 21-91 should be
subject to the following conditions:
1. Revisions to the preliminary plan and the preliminary
engineering plan per the Bureau of Inspection
Services, the Engineering Division, the Planning
Department, and the Water Department.
2. Substantial conformance with the revised preliminary
plan and preliminary engineering plan.
3 . Provide a written description of efforts that will be
taken to preserve and protect, or mitigate the
jurisdictional wetland areas identified in the report
prepared by K. Struck Companies, Inc. , dated May 29,
1990.
4 . The P.U.D. site plan contemplates gradings, filling,
and dredging in areas currently designated as flood
fringe and/or floodway, for the purposes of
constructing buildings, a road and bridge, and
stormwater detention in these areas. The City will
rik require conditional letters of approval from the Army
Corps of Engineers, the IDOT Division of Water
Resources (DWR) and FEMA prior to final plat
-Page 4 -
approval. No construction permits shall be issued
eft. until a final letter of map revision has been issued
by FEMA and DWR.
5. Provide documentation demonstrating that the six inch
watermains located in the cul-de-sacs will have
adequate capacity to serve the proposed residential
dwelling units.
6. Cul-de-sac streets and common parking areas shall be
privately owned and maintained, and shall be indicated
as such on the preliminary plan.
7. Payment of the local share of the cost of future
signalization at the East Chicago Street/Ceresa Drive
intersection. Payment due prior to final plat
. approval of the first phase of the development.
8. Indicate alternatives for a second means of access and
stormwater detention areas, to be constructed in the
event that the location of these facilities in the
Poplar Creek floodplain is not approved. Submit
