          3. The location of open space areas and areas for recreational use for the residents of this development.
          4. Statistical data on total size of project area, area of Useable Open Space, area devoted to sheltered/skilled care facility and that area devoted to cottage homes density computation and proposed number of units and specific uses by type, including the units within the sheltered/skilled care facility and accessory uses, and any other similar data pertinent to a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed development.
          5. The sign requirements, fence requirements, landscaping requirements, and other utilities, and parking requirements.
          6. Such site plan shall not be limited to the above requirements, but shall include all aspects of development of the subject property.
        4. Design Standards

          The following standards shall be used as a framework for evaluating the Site Plan:
          1. Topography

            The topography of the site shall be preserved, wherever possible, in its natural state by minimizing grade changes and alterations. Building sites and street locations should conform to existing land contours, to the extent possible.
          2. Streets

            The streets shall be curved, wherever possible, to provide gentle curvilinear street patterns. Streets shall be located, wherever possible, to preserve the natural elements of the site, as well as those of surrounding properties.

            Further, the number of new intersections with existing and proposed major or secondary arterial and collector streets shall be kept to a minimum. The use of cul-de-sacs or comparable design to provide access to the cottage homes is encouraged so as to provide privacy for the units, more variety in site planning and views oriented away from neighbors' yards and units
          3. Preservation of Landscape

            The landscape shall be preserved in its natural state, insofar as practicable, by minimizing tree and soil removal, so that the resulting development will be in keeping with the general appearance of neighboring developed areas and will not adversely affect the ecology of the area. Wherever the natural landscape is not preserved or no vegetation existed, mature landscape materials shall be installed in accordance with a plan approved by the Board of Trustees after receiving the recommendations of the Plan Commission.
          4. Relation to Environment and Existing Development

            The architectural style of proposed buildings and structures shall be related harmoniously to the terrain and to existing buildings and structures, to the extent possible, that have visual relationship to the proposed buildings and structures with an emphasis designed to diminish the apparent size of buildings. The density should be compatible with adjoining properties. All attempts shall be made to preserve natural wooded areas and topography. A creative approach to land development is encouraged if overall densities from the development may be reduced as a result of special circumstances and sensitivity to the existing landscape.
          5. Utility Services

            Electric and telephone lines shall be underground.
        5. Village Board Approval or Denial

          The Board of Trustees may grant the proposed special use, grant conditional approval or deny the special use in accordance with statute or may refer it back to the Plan Commission for further consideration. Such approval shall not constitute subdivision approval. If such development is not expressly subject to the subdivision ordinance of the Village, said development shall meet those standards for improvements set forth in said ordinance as required by the Board of Trustees following the recommendation of the Plan Commission.

          The Plan Commission shall recommend approval of, and the Board of Trustees shall approve, a site plan submitted pursuant to this subsection on the basis of specific written findings. In addition to the findings required under Section XIII of this Ordinance, no special use may be granted hereunder unless findings are made that:
          1. The development will enhance the appearance of the area by preservation of natural features of the property.
          2. The site plan must meet specified standards required by this Ordinance with respect to the proposed development or use.
          3. The proposed site plan must be designed in a manner that will not interfere with easements, roadways, rail lines or public or private rights-of-way.
          4. The proposed site plan must be designed in a manner that will not unreasonably destroy, damage, detrimentally modify or interfere with the enjoyment of significant natural, topographical or physical features of the site which can be preserved consistent with the development of the site for permitted uses.
          5. The proposed site plan must be designed so as not to dominate the immediate vicinity or to interfere with the development, use and enjoyment of neighboring property.
          6. The screening of the site and tree preservation must provide adequate shielding from or for nearby uses.
          7. Individual buildings and units must be arranged and situated to relate to surrounding properties and to improve the view from and the view of buildings.
          8. The proposed site plan must make adequate provision for the creation or preservation of open space and its continued maintenance.
          9. The proposed site plan must be designed in a manner which will not create drainage or erosion problems.
          10. The proposed site plan must be designed in a manner which will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, parking, utility facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare.
        6. Modification of Requirements - Site Plan Review

          Modification of specific requirements of this Subsection VI,B,2,n shall be permitted consistent with the intent of this Subsection VI,B,2,n to permit greater flexibility in design standards so as to encourage more innovative and imaginative site design. Modification of specific requirements of this Subsection VI,B,2,n shall also be permitted to allow development for such use, but only if developed in a manner consistent with the overall intent of such lot and bulk regulation standards. The specific standards herein before set forth may be modified on the basis of a specific site plan which demonstrably achieves the basic purposes of such standards such as insuring appropriate relationships between buildings and structures, preventing overcrowding and providing a safe and attractive living environment. Any such modifications, however, shall not increase the permitted density. If any such modifications are requested by formal application and by submission of a specific site plan to control development of the area, after review and consideration of such application and such specific site plan, the Plan Commission may recommend to the Village Board of Trustees such modifications as it deems appropriate without further public hearings, and the Village Board of Trustees shall then make such decision on the proposed modifications as it deems appropriate. There is no specific right to any such modifications hereunder, and, therefore, the decision of the Village Board, whether to grant or deny any requested modification, shall be final. If the decision is to grant any such modifications, then the applicant shall be bound to develop the land in accordance with such decision and the approved site plan.

  9. PRIOR R-6 RESIDENTIAL & CONGREGATE CARE DISTRICT – APPENDIX IV
    Prior to the adoption of this 1997 Comprehensive Amendment, there existed a residential zoning classification known as the R-6 Residential and Congregate Care District. It is hereby found and determined that the regulations provided for therein are not in keeping with the Official Comprehensive Plan of the Village nor in keeping with the trend of development within the Village. Moreover, the areas surrounding that portion of the Village which was zoned under such classification have been developed in a more restrictive manner than such R-6 District regulations. Therefore, it has been hereby found and determined that the prior R-6 Residential and Congregate Care District classification, and all regulations thereunder, be and are hereby declared of no further force and effect; provided, however, any property which was zoned under said R-6 Residential and Congregate Care District classification prior to July 1, 1991, shall be governed by the regulations set forth in Appendix IV attached hereto and made a part hereof and any specific special use (either a planned unit development or otherwise) issued prior to July 1, 1991, and any such property shall not be considered as a non-conforming use, either lawful or unlawful.
  10. COUNTY LINE ROAD OVERLAY REGULATIONS
    1. Findings
      1. The area adjoining County Line Road is a unique area with special significance and character different from other properties in the Village, since it is the main entryway to the Village and serves as the focal point for the Village and there exists currently estate-like development along such Road. Thus, development along County Line Road has a unique impact on the entire Village and its residents, sets the tone for the Village, and, if properly developed with high quality residential development of an estate-like character will enhance and increase property values not only for land along said Road but for the entire Village as well.
      2. The Village of Burr Ridge is convinced that the preservation and development of this area requires additional rules and regulations supplementing existing ordinances in order to specifically address the unique character of the area.
      3. The County Line Road Corridor Area includes and affects all that property adjoining County Line Road.
      4. A public hearing and continued public hearings have been held by the Plan commission of the Village pursuant to published and mailed notice to property owners in the County Line Road Corridor Area.
      5. The creation of the County Line Road Corridor Area and the following rules and regulations regarding development therein is consistent with and fosters the purposes and intent of this Zoning Ordinance as set forth in Section II hereof.
      6. The creation of the County Line Road Corridor Area and the following rules and regulations regarding development therein will promote and enhance orderly development within both the Corridor Area and the Village as a whole, and will preserve and enhance property values within both the Corridor Area and the Village as a whole.
    2. Definitions
      1. The "County Line Road Corridor Area" shall include all property adjoining County Line Road, regardless of the depth of such property from County Line Road and whether such property is zoned to permit residential, non-residential or planned unit development uses. Non-residential property within the County Line Road Corridor Area which is divided after August 10, 1987, may be developed with higher densities than those set forth in Section VI,J,5 and VI,J,6 of this Ordinance with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
      2. "Property adjoining County Line Road" shall include all lots, parcels, or tracts of land which have frontage on County Line Road as of August 10, 1987, and shall include all of such lot, parcel or tract as the same exists as of August 10, 1987, regardless of any future division or subdivision thereof.
