PLEASE SEE ATTACHED STAFF REPORT FOR FULL REPORT.

As part of the Special Use approval, Pulte relied on a 2005 Covenant and Grant of Stormwater Drainage Easement Agreement signed between Costco Wholesale Corporation and the Catholic Bishop of Chicago (seller of the subject property), which allows the stormwater from the northern portion of the project site to drain into the stormwater management facility (SMF) located between the Costco and Pulte’s site.
During review of the proposed plans, MWRD required that Pulte provide volume control for the portion of the site tributary to Costco SMF. To accomplish this, Pulte was going to provide volume control on a Costco outlot that would be deeded to Pulte in exchange for Pulte performing restoration work on the SMF.
MWRD, however, required that this agreement be fully executed before they provided Pulte with a permit.

Main Changes to the Site Plan are as follows:
