Roll-type curb inlets shall be Neenah R-3501-A, or East Jordan 7171, or equivalent.

14.6.4.3. Sustainable development.

1)

Intent. The purpose of this article is to provide flexibility to the developer who subdivides property and aggregates his or her open space in one (1) or more tracts, to provide enhanced recreational benefits to his or her development and enhanced protection of natural features, such as wetlands or wooded areas, and, in the case of architecturally integrated subdivisions, constructs buildings on the lots created in accordance with a unified plan of development.

2)

General standards—Cluster. In any subdivision of a tract consisting of ten (10) acres of land or more, the developer may create lots which deviate from the minimum lot size and lot width; except that the dimensional standards for any lot created shall not be reduced below the dimensional standards of the next most intensive district.

a)

For purpose of this section, the next most intensive district is as follows:

b)

The developer shall demonstrate that at least ten (10) percent of the tract is characterized by significant natural features deserving protection, and that for the most part those areas will be placed into open space. The word "Cluster" shall appear in the title of any plat seeking to use this style of development.

c)

For purpose of this section, the lot area of the R2A district shall be construed as being 22.5 percent less than the lot area of the R2 district and the lot width of the R2A district shall be construed as the same as the R2 district.

3)

Architecturally integrated subdivision. In any cluster subdivision, the developer may create lots and construct buildings which deviate from the minimum side and rear yard setbacks except for those lots abutting land that is not part of the subdivision. The development will comply with the standards for cluster set out in Section 14.6.4.3(2) of this title. The words "Architecturally Integrated Subdivision" shall appear in the title of any plat seeking to use this style of development.

4)

Density. The number of lots or dwelling units allowed in a cluster or architecturally integrated subdivision shall not exceed the number obtained by multiplying the net developable acreage by the density for the district as set out in the table of dimensional standards located in Chapter 2 of this title. The net developable acreage is the gross acreage less any lands in floodway, regulatory wetlands, detention or retention ponds, and street rights-of-way.

5)

Useable open space. To the extent reasonably practicable, the amount of land saved by creating lots that are smaller than the standards set forth in Chapter 2 of this title shall be set aside as passive, active, preserved, or natural open space. The amount of usable open space provided shall exceed forty (40) percent of the development. At least seventy-five (75) percent of the lots that are reduced in size shall be adjacent to the open space preserved. Any open space preserved shall be placed in a property owner's association, or shall, with the Village's consent, be dedicated to the Village or another public entity.

6)

Emergency access. Because of the flexibility allowed in this article, every architecturally integrated subdivision shall be required to demonstrate that the Village and other emergency service providers will have adequate access to each dwelling unit for purpose of police and fire protection.

7)

Architectural drawings. Where a developer proposes to use the architecturally integrated style of development to deviate from the yard requirements in this title, any preliminary plat submitted shall be accompanied by architectural drawings showing the facades and footprints of the proposed structures. These drawings may be roughly drawn at the preliminary plat stage, with the focus on window placement, orientation, and distance between buildings, and with provisions addressing privacy. These matters will be more definitively addressed in submittals accompanying the final plan. Every development will provide a minimum of five (5) different front facades.

14.6.4.4. Dedication of park land and school sites as a requirement of plat approval.

1)

Findings and determinations.

a)

Whereas, the Village has experienced a population increase due in part to the subdivision and planned unit development of vacant land within the jurisdiction of Cary; and

b)

Whereas, such population growth might result in the rapid disappearance of available land and the marked increase in land values; and

c)

Whereas, the Village has found that productive community life depends in part on the availability of recreational and park space and adequate school and fire protection facilities; and

d)

Whereas, it is found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, welfare, and safety requires that a minimum of one (1) acre of land for each one hundred (100) persons residing within the Village be devoted to park and recreational purposes; and

e)

Whereas, it is found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, welfare, and safety requires the establishment of school sites within the Village in accordance with the following criteria:

i.

Four hundred (400) capacity elementary schools, kindergarten through fifth grade, on fifteen (15) acres of land,

ii.

Seven hundred fifty (750) capacity junior high school, grades sixth through eighth, on thirty-five (35) acres of land,

iii.

One thousand (1,000) capacity high schools, grades ninth through twelfth, on sixty (60) acres of land; and

f)

Whereas, it is determined that the "Table of Estimated Ultimate Population," which is published by the Illinois School Consulting Service, is generally indicative of current and short-range projected trends of the number of school-age children and of adults to be generated from proposed subdivisions or planned unit developments; and

g)

Whereas, it has been found and determined that the locations of park and recreational, school sites, and provision for fire protection facilities to serve the immediate and future needs of residents and children of each new subdivision or planned unit development is just as essential to proper land development as are streets, water, sewer, and sidewalks; and

h)

Whereas, aside from the finding relating to the fair market value of improved land specified in this title, it is determined by the Village to require cash contributions substantially less than the amount which would otherwise be produced by a consideration of all of the aforesaid factors; and

i)

It has been determined, and is declared, that it is urgent that the ordinance codified in this chapter take effect immediately upon its passage and approval.

2)

Required. As a condition of approval of a final plat of subdivision, each subdivider or developer will be required to dedicate land for park and recreational purposes and land for school sites, to serve the immediate and future needs of the residents of the development, or cash contribution in lieu of actual land dedication, or a combination of both, at the option of the Village, in accordance with the criteria and formula set forth in this chapter. This required dedication shall be in addition to the five (5) percent minimum land area dedicated for public access as specified in this chapter.

14.6.4.5. Criteria for park and recreation land dedication.

1)

Requirement and population ratio. The ultimate density of a proposed development shall bear directly upon the amount of land required for dedication. The total requirement shall be one (1) acre of land per one hundred (100) of ultimate population. This requirement shall not include land required for stormwater, drainage systems, or retention/detention facilities. It is recognized that population density, age distribution, and local conditions change over the years, and the specific formula for the dedication of land, or the payment of fees in lieu of, as stated in this chapter, is subject to periodic review and amendment if necessary.

2)

Location. The official map of the Village and/or "Cary Park District Park Master Plan" shall be used as a guideline in locating park sites. Each subdivider or his or her agent shall obtain a statement in writing from the park district and submit a copy of it to the Village recommending: the exact size and location of each parcel to be used for park and recreation purposes; or the amount of cash to be paid in lieu; or a combination of land and cash to be paid in lieu; prior to consideration and approval of such park and recreational land dedication by the Village Board of Trustees.

3)

Cash contribution in lieu of land dedication. In the event the Cary Park District Board should determine that a cash contribution or a combination of land and cash contribution shall be made by the subdivider or developer in lieu of the required land dedication, the Village shall apply a formula as follows: the required land donation minus the land being dedicated divided the required donation, that fraction times the product of the total number of units multiplied by the appropriate scheduled rate as set out in this chapter, yields the cash donation.

14.6.4.6. Criteria for school site dedication.

1)

Requirement and population ratio. The ultimate number of students to be generated by a subdivision or planned unit development shall bear directly upon the amount of land required to be dedicated for school sites. The land dedication requirement shall be determined by obtaining the ratio of:

a)

estimated children to be served in each such school classification over the

b)

maximum recommended number of students to be served in each such school classification as stated in this title, and then applying such ratio to the

c)

minimum recommended number of acres for a school site of each such school classification as stated in this title. The determined amount of land dedicated shall be equal to the acres of land deemed needed to have sufficient land for school sites to serve the estimated increased children in each such school classification. This requirement shall not include land required for stormwater, drainage systems, or retention or detention facilities.

2)

Classifications and size of site. School classifications and size of school sites within the Village shall be determined in accordance with the criteria previously set forth in the recital portion of this chapter. The official map of the Village and/or the standards adopted by the impacted school district shall be used as a guideline in locating sites.

3)

Density formula.

a)

The current "Table of Estimated Ultimate Population" per dwelling unit of population density, which is published by the Illinois School Consulting Service, shall be used in calculating the amount of required dedication of acres of land and any combination of land dedication and cash contribution. For purposes of this section, the current table shall mean the most recent table of estimated ultimate tabulation per dwelling unit published by the Illinois School Consulting Service as applied simultaneously with the request for approval of the final plat of subdivision or planned unit development pursuant to the ordinances of the Village.

b)

In the event a subdivider or developer files a written objection to the "Table of Estimated Ultimate Population", he or she shall submit his or her own demographic study showing the estimated additional population to be generated from the subdivision or planned unit development and in that event final determination of the density formula to be used in such calculations shall be made by the Village Board of Trustees based upon such demographic information submitted by the subdivider or developer and from other sources which may be submitted to the Village Board of Trustees by the park district, school district, or others. It is recognized that population density, age distribution and local conditions change over the years, and the specific formula for the dedication of land, or the payment of fees in lieu of dedication, as stated in this chapter, is subject to periodic review and amendment if necessary.

14.6.4.7. Criteria for cash contribution in lieu of land dedication.

1)

Requirement and population ratio. The ultimate number of students to be generated by a subdivision or planned unit development shall bear directly upon the amount of land required to be dedicated for school sites. The land dedication requirement shall be determined by obtaining the ratio of:

a)

estimated children to be served in each such school classification over the

b)

maximum recommended number of students to be served in each such school classification as stated in this title, and then applying such ratio to the

c)

minimum recommended number of acres for a school site of each such school classification as stated in this title. The determined amount of land dedicated shall be equal to the acres of land deemed needed to have sufficient land for school sites to serve the estimated increased children in each such school classification. This requirement shall not include land required for stormwater, drainage systems, or retention or detention facilities.

2)

Required. When the available land for dedication is determined to be too small or inappropriate for park and recreational purposes or a school site, the Village shall require the subdivider or developer to pay a cash contribution in lieu of the land dedication required. Cash in lieu of the required park land contribution shall be computed as per the schedule set forth in this chapter.

3)

Fair market value. The cash contributions in lieu of land shall be based on the fair market value of the acres of land in the area improved as specified in this title, that otherwise would have been dedicated as park and recreation and school sites. The present fair market value of such improved land in the planning jurisdiction of the Village will be determined by the Director of Community Development, and such figure may be used in making any calculation in this title unless the subdivider or developer files a written objection of the determined amount. In the event of any such objection, the developer shall submit an appraisal showing the fair market value of such improved land in the area of his or her development or other evidence justifying the objection and final determination of said fair market value per acre of such improved land shall be made by the Village Board of Trustees based upon such information submitted by the subdivider or developer and from other sources which may be submitted to the Village Board of Trustees by the park district, school district, or others.

4)

Schedule. The cash contribution per each residential dwelling unit for library district, fire protection district facilities, and for park and school purposes where the Village requires solely cash in lieu of land dedication for school and park sites, shall be in accordance with the "Contribution Per Residential Units" table made available by the Director of Community Development.

5)

Time of payment—Property outside Village. Where the property in the subdivision is located outside of the Village boundaries but within its plan jurisdiction, the cash contribution required by this chapter shall be payable to the Village when application is made to the Village to approve such subdivision or planned unit development.

6)

Time of payment—Property within Village. Where the property in the subdivision is located within the Village boundaries, the cash contributions required by this chapter shall be payable to the Village either upon the sale of each lot or parcel, or at the time application is made to the Village for the issuance of a residential building permit in connection with any premises in such subdivision or planned unit development, whichever event occurs first; provided, however, that if not sooner paid, fifty (50) percent of the cash contributions shall be due and payable eighteen (18) months after the final plat approval and the remaining fifty (50) percent of such contributions shall be due and payable thirty-six (36) months after such final plat approval.

7)

Method of calculating number of bedrooms. In those situations where the cash contribution is due upon an application being made for a residential building permit, such contributions shall be calculated pursuant to the schedule set forth in this chapter based on the type of residential unit to be constructed and the number of bedrooms specified in such application.

8)

Method of calculating increased number of bedrooms—Supplementary payment. In each of those situations where the cash contribution, as detailed in this Section, is due and payable prior to the application for a residential building permit, such cash contribution shall be calculated pursuant to the above schedule and on the basis that the single-family dwellings to be subsequently constructed will contain a minimum of three (3) bedrooms, and that the apartments, townhouses, row houses and quadraplexes will contain one (1) bedroom per each allowable residential unit; provided, however, that if later an application for building permit is made showing more than the aforesaid number of bedrooms per dwelling unit, the applicant for such building permit shall then be required to pay a supplementary cash contribution to the Village to make up the difference between the amount previously paid by the developer or subdivider and the amount required for the actual number of bedrooms to be constructed in such residential dwelling unit.

9)

Notice to be placed on all final subdivision plats. The following language shall be placed as a notice on all final subdivision plats:

NOTICE

All of the property described herein and platted in lots, blocks and other parcels or units, is subject to the payment of a fee to the Village of Cary, Illinois, for park, library, school, and fire protection purposes at the time of the initial sale of any such lot, block or other parcel or unit.

10)

Use of funds. The Village shall remit the cash contributions to the affected school, library district, park, and fire protection districts on a periodic basis not less frequently than quarterly. Such cash contributions shall be held in a special fund by each of said districts and shall be disbursed by them only for such lawful purposes as may be authorized by statute or by law. No such cash contribution shall be distributed to any of the impacted governments unless they have executed an intergovernmental agreement regarding impact fees with the Village of Cary.

14.6.4.8. Land dedication and cash contribution.

There will be situations in subdivisions when a combination of land dedication and a contribution in lieu of land are both necessary. These occasions will arise when:

1)

Only a portion of the land to be developed is proposed as the location for a park or school site. That portion of the land within the subdivision falling within the park or school location shall be dedicated as a site as detailed previously in this chapter, and a cash contribution shall be required in lieu of any additional land that would have been required to be dedicated.

2)

A major part of the local park or recreational site or school site has already been acquired and only a small portion of land is needed from the development to complete the site. The remaining portions shall be required by dedication, and a cash contribution shall be required in lieu of a dedication.
