9`40,S City of Elgin Agenda Item No. C/
/r-IrED,szs'
November 24, 1997
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert O. Malm, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Agreement with Kane County for
Otter Creek Lift Station and Far West Area
Development
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
Members of the City Council with information regarding a
proposed intergovernmental agreement between the city and Kane
County.
BACKGROUND
On August 14 , 1996, the Elgin City Council adopted the Far
West Area Plan, an amendment to the Elgin Comprehensive Plan.
The Far West Area Plan and Kane County' s 2020 Land Resource
Management Plan include many common objectives . Principal
among these similarities is a desire to pursue development
patterns that differ from the typical suburban sprawl form of
development .
The Far West Area Plan reflects the city' s intention to
encourage more sensitive and balanced development through the
extension of municipal water and sanitary sewer systems,
thereby permitting higher localized densities for prime
development sites while discouraging development of any kind
on sensitive lands . The Land Design section of the Far West
Area Plan in general and the open space policies in particular
set the basic guidelines for development .
The Far West Area Plan open space guidelines have formed the
conceptual basis for a proposed intergovernmental agreement
between the City of Elgin and Kane County (copy attached) . An
element of this agreement would include the dedication of an
approximately four (4) acre portion of property owned by Kane
County (the former Blume Property) as a location for the Otter
Creek sanitary sewer pump station. The City would commit to

following the open space policies embodied in the Far West
Area Plan and providing for a paved pathway system along
creekside open space corridors .
Adherence to the adopted open space policies could result in a
pedestrian/bike path linkage system throughout the Otter Creek
drainage basin. Based on existing city policy and past
experience, it is likely that most land developers will seek
to dedicate these linear open space areas to the Kane County
Forest Preserve District on a voluntary basis .
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
Elgin area members of the Kane County Board have been apprised
of the status of the proposed agreement throughout the course
�" of its negotiation and review.
X if�'� FINANCIAL IMPACT
(�� The agreement provides that the City (or developers as the
City is able to negotiate) be responsible for costs associated
with the construction of a paved pathway system paralleling
sanitary sewer lines to be installed in open space areas
III adjacent to watercourses throughout the Otter Creek watershed
(Exhibit 1 of the agreement) and for costs of obtaining a
survey and title commitment for the parcel of land that the
County will convey to the City for the sanitary sewer pump
station.
The Five-Year Financial Plan anticipates that the majority of
the Bowes Road Interceptor Sewer system (Otter Creek area)
will be constructed by the private sector as land development
demand dictates . The paved pathway system would serve as an
open space linkage and as a maintenance access road for
sanitary sewers . As such, the majority of the pathway system
could be installed by land developers as they extend elements
of the sanitary sewer system in the Otter Creek drainage
basin. If this policy is pursued, most of the costs for the
pathway system would be borne by land developers . The city' s
costs for a survey and title commitment should be approximate-
ly $2, 500 . 00 . The approved Otter Creek pump station project
budget (Account #396-4200-795 . 92-32, Project #339505) contains
sufficient funds to cover the survey and title costs .
LEGAL IMPACT
The Intergovernmental Agreement has been reviewed by the Legal
Department .

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose to reject the intergovernmental
agreement and attempt to purchase the county land or some
other site for the Otter Creek pump station.
RECOMMENDATION
With respect to provisions regarding land use development, the
proposed agreement commits the city to following already
adopted policies incorporated in the Far West Area Plan.
Provisions of the agreement regarding transfer of certain open
space areas to the County reflect the City' s limited ability
to manage wetlands and linear open space connecting several
municipalities . The staff recommends approval of the proposed
agreement.
