ARTICLE VII

SPECIAL USE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT

Sec. 114-469.- Concept plan review.

Prior to submitting a request for approval of a special use preliminary PUD plan a petitioner may request a concept plan review form the village technical staff which may include some or all of the following staff: zoning administrator (building director), public works director, fire chief, police chief, village engineer and village attorney. Application for the concept plan review shall be made on the approved application form and submitted to the zoning board of appeals and accompanied by the appropriate fees.

(1)

Information to be submitted by the petitioner for the concept plan review. A concept plan drawn to scale and showing lot and block arrangement, street pattern and location, proposed detention and open space areas, connection to existing village street system and utility needs. It is not intended that the concept plan be completed as a precisely engineered plan but it must contain sufficient detail to permit a technical and planning review. At this stage the petitioner should expect the technical staff to identify planning and design issues and recommend major changes in the concept plan if they are deemed necessary.

(2)

Number of copies and submittal deadline. Five copies of the concept plan shall be submitted to the zoning administrator at least 14 days prior to the technical staff meeting at which it is to be reviewed.

(3)

Review time and report. The technical committee will complete their review of the concept plan within 30 days of the applicant's submittal. After the technical staff has met and reviewed the concept plan, the applicant will be informed of the technical and planning issues identified as well as the recommended major changes, if any. At this time the applicant may choose to prepare and submit a complete preliminary PUD plat application, revise the concept plan according to the technical staffs' review, resubmit the concept plan and meet with the staff or request to meet with the technical staff to discuss the items and issues raised by the staff. If the petitioner makes a complete preliminary PUD plan application immediately after their concept plan review, the technical staff will prepare concept plan review comments that will be included in the subsequent preliminary PUD plan report to the village plan commission.

(4)

Fee. A concept plan review fee of $200.00 plus a consultant fee to cover the costs of the village attorney and village engineer shall be submitted with the application.
