SUBJECT Consideration of Petition 37-88 Requesting a Rezoning from R-2 Single Family Residence District to R-4 General Residence District with a Special Use for a Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Plan Approval for a Residential Subdivision to be known as Bayfield Farms and Requesting a Rezoning from R-4 General Residence District to B-3 Service Business District , property located North of Summit Street and East of Waverly Drive by the Kimball Hill Corporation, as Applicant and the Stewart Warner Corporation, as Owner. II. CONSIDERATIONS A petition has been filed by Kimball Hill, Incorporated requesting a rezoning from R-2 Single Family Residence District to R-4 General Residence District, a rezoning from R-4 General Residence District to B-3 Service Business District, an R-4 Special Use for a Planned Unit Development , and preliminary plan approval for a subdivision to be known as Bayfield Farms. The subject property is located north of Summit Street, and east of the Waverly Commons Townhomes and Bent Tree Subdivision. The petitioner proposes to develop the property with townhomes and a commercial site. The townhouse project would feature 436 dwelling units contained in a total of 74 buildings. III. FINDINGS After due notice, as required by law, the Land Use Committee held a public hearing on the proposed rezonings and special use for a planned unit development and preliminary plan approval on June 20, 1988. The petitioner testified at the public hearing and presented documentary evidence. Objectors appeared at the hearing but no written objection has been filed pursuant to this petition. The Land Use Committee has made the following findings with respect to Petition 37-88: A. Site Characteristics: The subject property contains 68. 866 acres. The property is gently rolling with -Page 1- Exhibit A elevations ranging from 786 to 801 feet. A natural wetland area is located on the northerly portion of the property. The area located to the south of the wetland is heavily wooded. B. Sewer and Water: The subject property is proposed to be serviced from an 18 inch sanitary sewer located on the property. The existing sanitary sewer line extends from the southeast corner of the Waverly Commons Townhomes, across the subject property, to Kennington Square. The subject property is proposed to be serviced from a 24 inch watermain located along Summit Street. Stormwater is proposed to be collected onsite and transmitted to the natural wetland area located to the north of the development. C. Traffic and •Parking: Summit Street functions as an east/west arterial street serving the east side of the city. Summit Street has a design capacity of approximately 18,000 vehicles per day and carries approximately 14,500 vehicles per day. Summit Street is planned to be resurfaced as part of the Route 58 improvement project scheduled to begin later this year. The project will include a four lane improvement from Hiawatha Drive to Waverly Drive, and the addition of turn lanes and signalization at the Summit Street/Waverly Drive intersection. The traffic carrying capacity of the street will be increased within the limits of the project. The proposed townhouse project and commercial site would have direct access to Summit Street. Only one street is proposed to intersect with Summit Street. The street would align with Shady Oaks Drive. Each dwelling unit within the townhouse project could be expected to generate approximately 7.8 vehicle trips per day. Accordingly, the project could generate approximately 3,400 vehicle trips per day. The proposed 11 . 75 acre commercial site is of adequate size to accommodate a 117,000 square foot shopping center. Shopping centers ranging in size from 100,000 to 200,000 square feet generate approximately 66. 7 vehicle trips per day for each 1 ,000 square feet of gross floor area. Accordingly, a 117,000 square foot shopping center could generate approximately 7, 804 vehicle trips per day. The off-street parking requirement for the townhouse project is two spaces per dwelling unit. The proposed townhomes feature one-car garages with room to accommodate a second car in private driveways. Additional parking is -Page 2- provided within the proposed cul-de-sacs. Accordingly, the parking ratio is 2.2 spaces per dwelling unit. The off-street parking requirement for development of the commercial site would vary dependent upon the proposed use of the property. Development of the property would be subject to site plan review and approval by city staff. Sources: Engineering Divison, City of Elgin. Design Manual, State of Illinois, 1984.

Zoning Status : The subject property is of adequate size to be developed in accordance with the requirements of both the existing and proposed zoning. F. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: The area located to the north of the subject property is zoned R-2. A natural wetland area is located to the immediate north of the proposed development. The area is in agricultural use. The area located to the east of the subject property is zoned R-2 and R-4. A portion of the area is improved with two single family homes and Kennington Square. The eft remaining area is vacant or in agricultural use. The area located to the south of the subject property is zoned R-2. The area is developed with single family homes and a medical office building. The area located to the west of the subject property is zoned R-2, R-4 and B-3. The area includes single family homes, townhomes, a bank, and three vacant parcels. G. Trend of Development : The trend of development in the area in which the subject property is located is towards a continuation of an urban residential pattern of development, along with continuing development of commercial property generally bounded by Hiawatha Drive and Waverly Drive. The single family homes located to the south and east of the subject property were annexed by the City of Elgin. H. Comprehensive Plan: The area in which the subject property is located is designated "urban residential". The natural wetland area is designated "open space". Summit Street and the abutting properties are designated as a "transportation corridor" . Development along a transportation corridor may be more intensive in nature. However, the impact on surrounding land uses and the -Page 3- street system should be given special consideration. I. P.U.D. Departures: The petitioner is requesting approval ("' to develop the proposed R-4 P.U.D. subject to the following departures from the strict application of the zoning and subdivision regulations: 1. The project features 74 building sites which will not all front on a public street, which is a departure from E.M.C. 19.04.360. 2. The building sites vary from the minimum R-4 design standards for lot area, lot width, floor area ratio, and required yards listed in E.M.C. 19. 18. 3. The project features pedestrian pathways throughout portions of the development in lieu of sidewalks on both sides of the streets, which is a departure from E.M.C. 18. 18.050(E) . 4. The project features streets with centerline curve radii of less than 300 feet, but in no case less than 150 feet, which is a departure from E.M.C. 18. 24.020 (L) . J. Suitability of Present Zoning: In view of the surrounding land use and zoning, the trend of development in the area, and the comprehensive plan, the committee has found the present zoning unsuitable, and believes the property eft should be rezoned as requested. R. P.U.D. Standards: The Land Use Committee has found that the proposed special use for a planned unit development is in substantial conformance to the planned unit development standards. L. Conditions for Approval : The Land Use Committee is of the opinion that the approval of Petition 37-88 should be subject to the following conditions: 1. Revisions to the preliminary plan and preliminary engineering plan per the Bureau of Inspection Services, Engineering Division and Planning Department. 2.
