10.BRIEF AND CONCISE DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT (be aura to Ntdicate elze/acmage of pro)ea site)
The City's 2000 Comprehensive Master Plan identified a need for a new regional park
is the far west planning area. The City of Elgin's western edge is one of the fastest
growing areas in Northern Illinois. Thousands of new homes are currently planned or
under construction. The regional park concept seeks to "meet community-based
recreational needs as well as preserving unique landscapes and open spaces." The
Comp. Plan specifically calls for a site to "balance active and passive uses.....
consideration given to fishing ......and protecting water habitat." With over 10% of the
community registered for sports leagues in Elgin the acquisition of a large site with the
capacity to accommodate thousands of weekly user with diverse recreation options is
the top acquisition priority. The subject site of this application addressed all those
goals. Specifically the project seeks funding to purchase 225 acres of gently rolling
farmland that contains a section of Pingree Creek and the North Plato Drainage Ditch.
The site location, topography, and surrounding land use is ideally suited to the
regiomal park concept. Proposed development features include stream re-meander,
habitat restoration(interpretation, a lake, sports complex for ballfields and soccer, bike
Laths, parking, playground, community center, and site maintenance structure.
