NOW THEREFORE, Be It Ordained by the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Orland Park, Cook and Will Counties, Illinois, as follows:
SECTION 1
The Plan Commission of this Village has made its report of findings and recommendations regarding the proposed special use planned development permit with modifications. The findings of the Plan Commis-sion are herein incorporated by reference as the findings of this Presi-dent and Board of Trustees, as completely as if fully recited herein at length. All exhibits submitted at the aforesaid public hearings are also hereby incorporated by reference as fully as if attached hereto. This President and Board of Trustees further finds that the proposed special use planned development permit with modifications is in the public good and in the best interests of the Village and its residents and is consistent with and fosters the purposes and spirit of the Code as set forth in Section 1-102 thereof. Said special use planned development is also in accordance with the provisions of the Compre-hensive Land Use Plan of the Village, which designates the Subject Property as “Single Family Residential and Mixed Residential” in the “Regional Core” Planning District.
SECTION 2
In addition to the findings set forth in Section 1 hereof, this Board of Trustees further finds, in relation to the proposed special use planned development in the R-3 Residential zoning districts with modifications, as follows:
(a) The Subject Property is located between 161st and 165th streets, south of the current end of Ravinia Avenue and the Costco Wholesale location and located between the Mistee Ridge and Hummingbird Hill subdivisions to the east, and the Good Shepherd Cemetery & Mausoleum on the West. The development is envisioned to be a residential development. The Petitioner additionally seeks approval for a Special Use for the Disturbance of a Nontidal Wetland. The proposed development will impact .64 acres of wetlands, which will be mitigated off-site at an approved wetland mitigation bank.
(b) The proposed development is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and standards of the Com-prehensive Plan, any adopted overlay plan and the Code. The Comprehen-sive Plan designates this area as the Regional Core Planning District, with a planning designation of “Single Family Residential and Mixed Residential,” and the Subject Property is located in the R-3 Residential Zoning District. The Subject Property will fulfill the R-3 Residential District’s established principles by promoting residential development. The site plan contains 132 dwelling units and 6 outlots, which will contain common open space, a stormwater management facility (SMF), and a playground, among other features.
(c) The proposed development will be consistent with the character of the immediate vicinity of the Subject Property. The site is situated along 161st Street to the north, 165th Street to the south, the Mistee Ridge and Hummingbird Hill single family attached home subdivisions to the east, and the Good Shepherd Cemetery & Mausoleum to the west. North of the site is commercial, with the Costco Wholesaler, as well as a naturalized SMF which receives drainage from the north 20 acres of the Subject Property, pursuant to the Covenant and Grant of Stormwater Drainage Easement Agreement dated October 25th, 2005. To the south is residential in Orland Hills. The proposed development site is currently a vacant agricultural parcel.
(d) The proposed development plan indicates 2 points of ingress/egress. Vehicles can access the site through the internal roadway connection from either 161st Street or 165th Street. The main loop road and connections will be dedicated right-of-way roads. The overall road layout employs traffic-calming measures to prevent high speeds and to prevent the neighborhood from becoming a “short-cut” thoroughfare. The serpentine road layout results in lots with curved frontage; as such, the Petition requests a modification to allow for a reduction in lot widths from 80’ to 75’-77’ for standard lots, and to 66’ for lots with curved frontage, which are approximately 12% of the total lots on the Subject Property.
(e) The design of the development will minimize adverse effects. The proposed site plan illustrates planned development as described in (a) above which special use is a planned development incorporates two (2) special uses, with modifications, hereinafter described.
(f) There will be no adverse effects on the value of the property. The Subject Property is currently vacant. Additionally, the development will facilitate new landscaping on and around the Subject Property, and will allow for a connected network of perimeter sidewalks, roadways and walkways.
(g) Petitioner has demonstrated that public facilities and services, including but not limited to roadways, park facilities, police and fire protection, hospital and medical services, drainage systems, refuse disposal, water and sewers will be capable of serving the special use at an adequate level of service. All utilities are accounted for and can accommodate the proposed development layout. Specifically, adequate capacity for sanitary and water service will be available on site, the storm water management system serving has adequate capacity to service this development, and existing and proposed roads will adequately service the development.
(h) Petitioner has made adequate legal provision to guarantee the provision and development of any open space and other improvements associated with the proposed development.
(i) The development will not adversely affect a known archaeological, historical or cultural resource.
(j) The proposed development shall comply with all additional standards imposed on it by all other applicable require-ments of the ordinances and regulations of the Village.
