Debbie Schoop, Executive Asst. Date NBl COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM VILLAGE OF HOFFMAN ESTATES SUBJECT: Request by Bradwell Estates LLC and K. Hovnanian Homes for a site plan amendment for a new owner/builder to construct different home models in a previously approved single family subdivision (Bradwell Estates) MEETING DATE: August 4, 2014 COMMITTEE: Planning, Building and Zoning FROM: Peter Gugliott~ames Donahue~

REQUEST: Request by Bradwell Estates LLC and K. Hovnanian Homes for a site plan amendment for a new owner/builder to construct different home models in a previously approved single family subdivision (Bradwell Estates).

BACKGROUND: Bradwell Estates Subdivision was approved as a 17 lot single-family subdivision on January 20, 2014. The developer (Bradwell Estates LLC) has not started any work on the subdivision post approval.

Due to other projects currently under development by the original developer (Bradwell Estates LLC), they have looked for another builder to construct the majority of the subdivision, including the infrastructure and most of the homes. The original developer has entered into a contract with K. Hovnanian Homes to develop Bradwell Estates with the same land plan as was approved earlier this year.

One of the conditions of the final site approval for the subdivision was that "Approval of Bradwell Estates is granted based on the proposal that Bradwell Estates LLC (d.b.a. Projx Construction Group) will construct all homes within this unit consistent with the home plans provided in the packet. Any proposed house construction by any other builder, or any significant change in the house models to be constructed, will require Village review and approval, in accordance with Village Code."

DISCUSSION: Bradwell Estates LLC has contracted with K. Hovnanian Homes, a nationally recognized homebuilder, to commence and coordinate the development of Bradwell Estates. K. Hovnanian will post required security, contract and manage the installation of all public infrastructure and comply with all the previously approved plans including plat, engineering and landscape. All obligations outlined within the Annexation Agreement will be assumed by K. Hovnanian Homes. Bradwell Estates LLC (d.b.a. Projx Construction Group) will retain the ability to build some homes in the subdivision, but the vast majority will be constructed by K. Hovnanian Homes. Planning, Building and Zoning Committee -2- August 4, 2014

DISCUSSION: (Continued)

K. Hovnanian Homes is proposing to offer four home plans from 2,500- 3,400 square feet as the base models with each plan offering 3-5 distinct elevations. All front elevations will feature masonry (stone or brick) in some form and are similar in character to the previously approved homes. K. Hovnanian Homes anticipates home revenues ranging between $500,000-$750,000 for the subdivision. As allowed by the Annexation Agreement, K. Hovnanian Homes may opt to construct a model home on the site.

K. Hovnanian Homes will still be bound by the original approvals for the Bradwell Estates Subdivision with respect to landscaping, engineering, on-site and off-site improvements, and all conditions of approval. They will not be seeking to change the previously approved plat of subdivision or final engineering.

K. Hovnanian Homes is currently working on an agreement with the Hoffman Estates Park District to amend their previous agreement with Bradwell Estates LLC that will transfer all obligations and requirements to K. Hovnanian Homes as part of this approval. The Park District is expected to approve the amended agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approval of a request by Bradwell Estates LLC and K. Hovnanian Homes for a site plan amendment for a new owner/builder to construct different home models in a previously approved single family subdivision (Bradwell Estates); subject to the following conditions (includes previous conditions of approval):

1. The final plat of subdivision shall be recorded within nine months of Village Board action or prior to obtaining the first building permit, whichever occurs first.

2. No individual lot shall be subsequently re-subdivided within the subdivision.

3. The development is subject to the terms of the Bradwell Estates Annexation Agreement.

4. A permit shall be secured from Cook County prior to commencing any work in the Bradwell Road right of way.

5. Approval of Bradwell Estates is granted based on the proposal that Bradwell Estates LLC (d.b.a. Projx Construction Group) or K. Hovnanian Homes will construct all homes within this unit consistent with the home plans provided in the packet. Any proposed house construction by any other builder, or any significant change in the house models to be constructed, will require Village review and approval, in accordance with Village Code.

6. The following Subdivision Code waivers are granted with this approval:

a. A waiver from the Subdivision Code (Section 10-3-2-C-1) to allow a centerline radius of 55 feet with a minimum back of curb radius of 41.5 feet instead of the required a 200 foot radius for the centerline of a horizontal curve for a minor street. Planning, Building and Zoning Committee - 3 - August 4, 2014

RECOMMENDATION: (Continued)

8. As shown on the landscape plan, the landscape buffer plantings behind Lots 1-12 and in the lots along Bradwell Road shall be installed in entirety at one time and shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for any house in this subdivision.

9. Building permits for dwelling units shall not be issued by the Village prior to the paving and installation of streets with the binder course in place which meet Village requirements as reasonably determined by the Village, including but not limited to emergency vehicle needs. No building construction beyond the concrete foundation may occur without the installation of looped water mains and associated improvements which meet Village requirements for fire suppression as determined by the Village.

10. Prior to installation of any private utilities including, but not limited to, the CornEd boxes the petitioner shall provide a minimum 24-hour notification to the Village to allow on-site inspection by a Village representative to ensure that the approved plans are followed.

11. As part of recording the final plat of subdivision, a Statement of Awareness, provided by the Village, shall be recorded for the entire property.

Copies of the signed Statement of Awareness must be provided to the Code Enforcement Division of the Development Services Department prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Hovnanian. I have included in this application a letter from Projx Construction detailing why this partnership has been formed. Below you will find a narrative description of K. Hovnanian's intentions related to Bardwell Place. Also included as part of this application are the attachments detailed below.

Site Deve lopment K.

Subject: Bradwell Estates

First I would like to thank Hoffman Estates in working with me and my team on planning and approving Bradwell Estates. We have worked on the project for over two years and are very close to having all of the permits in hand to be able to start the land development. Over the last few years my company, Projx Construction Group, has been working on a few different interesting projects including Bradwell Estates and a very unique project called Breakwater Chicago. I have attached a photo and summary of this project. Projx was awarded the contract to build this project about a year ago with the hopes of the project being approved. Breakwater is a unique floating entertainment facility about the size of a football field to be located near Navy Pier on Lake Michigan. The project has recently been approved and a formal announcement to the public is scheduled to happen on June 10, 2014. Based upon this recent development, I have been trying to plan out the next year to handle commitments that Projx Construction Group has made to their clients.

In the best interest for our clients and Hoffman Estates, I am proposing that I bring on a builder partner for Bradwell Estates. I have discussed this arrangement with a number of home builders and have determined that the best fit would be with K. Hovnanian Homes. K. Hovnanian a national home builder with a secure financial backing and a good reputation . I had met with the village of Palatine as part of my decision making process and they confirmed that K. Hovnanian has been a responsible builder in their town. I propose that K. Hovnanian would act as the developer, improve the lots per the approved engineering, secure the guarantee and build homes for their customers. Projx would build homes for their customers and maintain commitments that they have for current clients and any future clients. I hope staff and the board would give their blessing to this arrangement. I want to make sure we fulfill our obligations to our clients by providing good service, quality and value.

I would appreciate the opportunity to work with Hoffman Estates to make any necessary changes to the annexation agreement and additional architecture to be added to the product mix.

Sincerely,

Todd Polcyn President Projx Construction Group
