Lieser Village Administrator Scott Richmond Steven J. Super John Sweet STAFF REPORT To: Chairman Brian Carlson and Members of the South Elgin Planning & Zoning Commission From: Lauren Blayney, Planner Date: September 16, 2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting RE: CD 20-13: – Concept Plan – North Pointe Subdivision ** Please note, this Concept Plan review is to allow the applicant to obtain information and guidance from the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) prior to preparation of the Preliminary Plan, should the applicant chose to advance the project. Feedback from the PZC is advisory only. It does not give the applicant any formal approvals or endorsement of a specific site plan, as not enough details are available at this stage of the project to provide this. This proposal would include annexation into the Village of South Elgin. If upon review of the Concept Plan by the Planning and Zoning Commission and, subsequently, the Village Board, the applicant chooses to advance the proposal, further staff review and negotiations to enter into an annexation agreement will still need to occur. As a result, revisions to the overall site plan may still occur. Background Information: Applicant: Richard M. Guerard 310 S. County Farm Road Wheaton, IL 60187 Property Owner: Michael Kenyon PO Box 134 South Elgin, IL 60177 Subject Property: PIN(s): 06-36-401-001, 06-36-401-002, 06-36-401-003, 06-36-401-004, 06-36- 176-016, 06-36-200-027, and portion of 06-36-200-014 Comprehensive Plan Designation: Office and/or Industrial Current Zoning: Farming, & Unincorporated Farming District (Kane County) Page 12 PZC Staff Report | CD 20-13 September 16, 2020 Surrounding Land Uses: North: Unincorporated South Elgin Farming Use South: Commercial & Multi-Family Residential East: Village of Bartlett West: Kane County Forest Preserve Prairie Path Request: The Applicant, Richard Guerard, is requesting feedback on a Concept Plan for a Single-Family Residential Subdivision located at the North West intersection of Middle Street and IL-25. Location Map: Page 13 PZC Staff Report | CD 20-13 September 16, 2020 Planning and Zoning Commission Review: Project Summary: The proposed project would be located on approximately 38-acres located at the northwest corner of Middle Street and IL-25. Approximately 22 of the 38-acres are currently annexed into the Village, leaving 16-acres needing to be annexed into the Village. The applicant, Rich Guerard, is proposing a single-family residential subdivision. Based on the site plan submitted to staff dated August 19, 2020, and contained in this packet, the applicant is proposing approximately 112 single-family dwelling units. A typical lot would be larger than other lots in the nearby South Pointe: Typical Typical Typical Total Subdivision Lot width Lot Depth Square Footage R-1 Single Dwelling Unit District 60 feet N/A 7,500 sq. ft. R-2 Single Dwelling Unit District 50 feet N/A 5,000 sq. ft. Proposed North Pointe Subdivision 63 feet 125 feet 7,875 sq. ft. South Pointe Subdivision 51 feet 125 feet 6,375 sq. ft. The main access into the subdivision is shown at the intersection of E. Middle Street and Southwind Boulevard with a secondary, right-in/right-out, access onto IL-25 at the intersection of IL-25 and Slade Road. There is no direct bike access from within the proposed subdivision to the Illinois Prairie Path to the west shown on the site plan. The developer has shown a 35-foot wide landscape buffer and detention basins along the east and south side of the development along IL-25 and E. Middle Street. Part of the subject property is not annexed into the Village of South Elgin and, therefore, will require annexation into the Village. Among other entitlements, rezoning of the property and an annexation agreement will be necessary. Comprehensive Plan: The Village’s Comprehensive Plan notes this location as Planning Subarea 8D. This subarea is intended to have industrial and/or office (no retail) land uses. Due to changes in the market since the drafting of the Comprehensive Plan, Village staff would support residential development on this property. Mobility connection improvements have been identified in Subarea 8D. Improvement are necessary on Middle Street, directly south of the property. Some road improvements are engineered with the development of South Pointe Subdivision and Park Pointe Subdivision along Middle Street. The Comprehensive Plan recommends that any development should minimize the impacts on aquifer sensitivity areas. Page 14 PZC Staff Report | CD 20-13 September 16, 2020 South Elgin Bike & Pedestrian Plan: The South Elgin Bike & Pedestrian Plan shows a sidepath to be located on the south side of Middle Street between IL-25 and East Avenue. The sidepath has been engineered by the Park Pointe Subdivision to the south of E. Middle Street. Unified Development Ordinance: The developer has indicated that they wish to rezone the property to the R-1 District. The typical lot shown meets the R-1 District requirements. Staff Review: Staff has provided some initial feedback to the developer. A few items that we noted of importance to the Commission are: The developer should consider how the storm detention ponds will be accessed for future maintenance. Lots 46-48 may need to be eliminated to provide access separate from the park. Based on the number of units proposed on the site plan, the Village anticipates a park site donation of approximately 4-acres. The proposed site plan provides approximately 1-acre. A traffic study will be required to be submitted for formal review of the development. With any request for preliminary planned development/subdivision approval, the developer should provide the location and design of the development signage. Depending on the signage proposed, variation requests may be necessary and can be reviewed by the Commission and the Village Board at the same meeting as the proposed planned development. PZC Feedback on Concept Plan: Per the UDO, the role of the Planning and Zoning Commission for a Concept Plan Consultation is to provide information and guidance to the applicant. As part of the discussion, the Commission should provide feedback whether the Concept Plan is consistent with the intent of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan and other land use policies of the Village and if it substantially meets the requirements of the UDO and other regulations. The Commission may wish to consider and offer feedback on: Comprehensive Plan, Bike and Pedestrian Plan, and Land Use: o Goals of the Comprehensive Plan, and Bike and Pedestrian Plan Site Plan: o Overall layout, street configuration, stormwater location, etc. Landscaping and Buffering: o Landscape buffer along E.

  • The Algonquin Citizen: Fall 2020 Edition
    The Algonquin Citizen News from the Village of Algonquin Fall 2020 Remembering Village President John Schmitt We at the Village are still very saddened by the sudden passing of Village President John Schmitt. President Schmitt’s love and passion for Algonquin was undeniable, and his legacy is evident throughout the community he selflessly served. President Schmitt was first elected to serve as Village Trustee on the Algonquin Village Board in 1993. He was appointed Village President in 2002 and was elected to his first full term in 2005; he has remained in this position ever since. Schmitt, a Vietnam-era veteran and Pennsylvania native, spent his private-sector career in technology and management in addition to serving the Village of Algonquin. During his time serving the Village, Schmitt oversaw tremendous growth in Algonquin. In 1993, the assessed valuation of Algonquin was approximately Village President John Schmitt speaking at the $233 million; this valuation grew to $1 billion today. The Village’s population IL-31 Western Bypass ribbon-cutting ceremony also grew from approximately 12,000 in 1993 to over 30,000 residents. Under Schmitt’s leadership, fiscal management and transportation were policy priorities. Algonquin has maintained balanced budgets for Schmitt’s entire tenure on the Village Board, with a property tax rate nearly identical to when he started. Additionally, many regional transportation projects, including the IL-31 Western Bypass, Longmeadow Parkway, and the expansion of Randall Road, came to fruition supporting economic development in Algonquin. Our deepest condolences to his wife Cheryl, his children and grandchildren, his extended family, his many friends, as well as the community that he loved serving.

  • JANE ADDAMS MEMORIAL TOLLWAY Overview
    JANE ADDAMS MEMORIAL TOLLWAY Overview PROJECT OVERVIEW The Illinois Tollway is rebuilding and widening the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) as a 21st century, state-of-the- art corridor linking the Chicago Rockford International Airport to O'Hare International Airport. The $2.5 billion I-90 Rebuilding and Widening Project is increasing capacity, reducing delays and strengthening economic activity. Originally built in the 1950s, the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway is part of Interstate 90, the longest interstate in the United States, and covers 77 miles extending from near the Wisconsin border to the Kennedy Expressway. The I-90 corridor from downtown Chicago to Rockford serves nearly one million travelers per day. In 2011, the Illinois Tollway Board of Directors approved the 15-year, $12 billion capital program, Move Illinois: The Illinois Tollway Driving the Future. Move Illinois commits $2.5 billion to deliver a dramatic facelift to- I 90 by rebuilding and widening 62 miles between Rockford and O’Hare with eight lanes from the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) to Randall Road and six lanes from Randall Road to I-39. In addition, the Tollway is accommodating transit options for the I-90 corridor - the first time in the agency’s history. BENEFITS The I-90 Rebuilding and Widening Project is expected to save drivers up to 27 minutes on the average trip from Elgin to the Kennedy Expressway. In addition, the improved roadway will accommodate as many as 83,000 more vehicles per day and will save drivers $440 million annually due to reduced congestion and delays.
