The subject property is eft located south of Highland Avenue and west of Glenmore Lane. The petitioner proposes to develop the property with 13 buildings containing a total of 19 dwelling units.

FINDINGS After due notice as required by law, the Land Use Committee held a public hearing on Petition 66-91 on December 16, 1991 . The petitioner appeared at the hearing and presented documentary evidence. Objectors testified at the hearing and written objection has been filed. The Land Use Committee has made the following findings with respect to Petition 66-91 : A. Site Characteristics: The subject property contains approximately 4 .9 acres. The property slopes in a northwesterly direction and is currently unimproved. The property is traversed by Sandy Creek. B. Sewer and Water: The subject property is proposed to be served with sanitary sewer service via the extension of an eight . inch sewer line which serves eft Williamsburg Terrace Subdivision. Exhibit A -Page 1 - Water service is proposed to be provided through an eight inch water line connecting between a 16 inch water line along West Highland Avenue and an eight inch water line in Williamsburg Terrace Subdivision. Stormwater is proposed to be detained in a retention pond, which would encompass Sandy Creek. This proposal will require permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, Illinois Department of Conservation, and Illinois Department of Transportation-Division of Water Resources. C. Traffic and Parking: The proposed subdivision features one point of access to Highland Avenue. Highland Avenue functions as an east/west arterial and is scheduled for widening under the City' s 5-year Capital Improvement Program. Highland Avenue carries approximately 8 ,000 vehicles per day. Residences within a planned unit development generate approximately 7.8 vehicle trips per day. Accordingly, the proposed 19 unit subdivision could generate 148 vehicle trips onto the connecting street system. The off-street parking ordinance requires two off-street parking spaces. Each dwelling unit in the proposed development features a two car attached garage. Some additional parking can be provided in driveways, and in two street cut parking spaces proposed to be located near the entryway to the subdivision. Sources: Transportation Study, Elgin, 1990.

Trend of Development: In general, the overall trend of development has been urban residential. H. Comprehensive Plan: The subject property is designated "urban residential" in the Comprehensive Plan. 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 zoning and subdivision regulations: 1 . The privately owned and maintained cul-de-sac street is proposed to be 24 feet wide as opposed to 26 feet (E.M.C. 18.28.050 A) . 2. The diameter of the right-of-way of the cul-de-sac turn-a-round measures 106 feet as opposed to 110 " feet (E.M.C. 18 .24.020 G) . [[ 3 .

The front yard setbacks vary from the minimum R-4 District requirement of 25 feet (E.M.C. 19.18.060) . J. Fiscal Impact: A fiscal impact study for the proposed planned unit development has not been submitted.

The residential, commercial, and industrial components of the land use system are -Page 3 - phighly interdependent from a fiscal impact point of view, as well as from a community point of view. Communities are comprised of places to work, live, shop and recreate. Accordingly; the fiscal impact of a residential development must be considered within the context of the entire land use system and within the context of a community. K. PUD Standards: The majority of the Land Use Committee is of the opinion that Petition 66-91 is in substantial conformance with the PUD standards. L.
