classifications of the CITY'S Zoning Code:
Parcel 1: R3 Planned Unit Development General Residence District
approximately fifty two (52) acres, legally described on EXHIBIT
"D" attached hereto and made a part hereof, and
Parcel 2: B3 Service Business District approximately thirty four (34) acres,
legally described on EXHIBIT "E" attached hereto and made a part
hereof;
OWNER shall be entitled to construct a minimum of two hundred fifty six (256)

detention areas, setbacks from Route 47 and Galena Road, utility easements, square footage of
commercial space and park areas. The CITY hereby approves the aforementioned Planned Unit
-4-
Development Preliminary Plan for Parcel 1 and agrees to approve Preliminary Plats of subdivision
and Final Engineering plans and Final Plats of Subdivision for Parcel 1 even beyond one (1)year
from the date of this Agreement provided the respective final plats and engineering plans (which
may be in phases) are in substantial conformance(on a Phase by Phase basis)with the Planned Unit
Development Preliminary Plan for Parcel 1 hereby approved. It is agreed that the park donation
required pursuant to Ordinance is a donation of 6.0 acres of land. OWNER shall contribute 1.9 acres
of land and Eighty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand Dollars and 00/100
($86,257.00),which is the cash equivalent of the remaining acreage requirement. The CITY further

TERRITORY without the OWNER'S written consent to such amendment or modification,which
consent can be withheld in OWNER'S sole discretion;provided,however,life-safety provisions of
building codes and inspection and hook-up fees which are charged on a non-discriminatory basis
city-wide can be modified or amended from time to time and such modifications shall be applicable
to the TERRITORY. In the event of a conflict between any applicable CITY ordinance, rule or
regulation and the Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan and engineering attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "F" (or any final plats and final engineering in substantial conformance with such
exhibits) or the terms of the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement and the aforesaid approved
-5-
Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan and engineering (and any final plats and final
engineering in substantial conformance therewith) shall control and prevail.
3. FUTURE FINAL PLATS AND FINAL ENGINEERING.
The CITY recognizes the development of the TERRITORY may occur in stages or
units (sometimes referred to herein as "Phases") over a period of time. Accordingly, the CITY
grants permission to OWNER to stage the development over a period of twenty(20)years in length
and to submit separate final plats and final engineering for approval for each Phase. The CITY shall
act upon any final plat and final engineering submitted to it for approval within a reasonable time
of its receipt of such final plat, final engineering and all necessary supporting documentation and
information. The plat review and consideration by the CITY shall not exceed the limitations set out
in 65 ILCS 5/11-12-8(2002). The CITY shall not require engineering to be submitted for any Phase
of the TERRITORY,that is not within the particular Final Plat for a Phase or Unit being submitted
for approval by OWNER; provided, however, the City can require engineering for sewer, water,
storm water lines and utilities that cross undeveloped Phases.
4. SECURITY.
A. In satisfaction of any bonds or deposits required to guarantee construction or
performance under applicable CITY ordinances or regulations,OWNER,at its election,may furnish
to the CITY a subdivision bond as provided by the Illinois Compiled Statutes, an irrevocable letter
of credit or other security acceptable to the CITY(such subdivision bond,irrevocable letter of credit
or other security acceptable to the CITY, as elected by OWNER, is hereinafter referred to as
"Security"),in a form approved by the CITY and issued by a sound and reputable banking,bonding
-6-
or financial institution authorized to do business in the State of Illinois with the amount of Security
to be posted pursuant to CITY Ordinance or as specified herein if provided otherwise.
B. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it is understood that the
Security shall apply only to those public improvements for which security is required by the CITY'S
Subdivision Control Ordinance that is in effect at the time the CITY executes this Agreement. It
is further agreed that a separate OWNER of any portion or Phase of the TERRITORY shall not be
required to post Security for any improvement work to be perfonned on another OWNER'S portion
of the TERRITORY.
C. The CITY agrees to review final plats of subdivision along with the
accompanying engineering plans,and if the same are acceptable,the CITY shall execute the plat of
subdivision when OWNER delivers the Security to the CITY,which can be within one(1)year from
the date of said conditional approval. The CITY shall not require the posting of Security for the
construction on the TERRITORY of private improvements (such as private storm water
management facilities)but if,for a given Phase of development within the TERRITORY,the CITY
determines that such private improvements have not been adequately completed or properly
constructed,the CITY shall have the right,with respect to such Phase of development,to withhold
the issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy until such improvements have been
completed or until necessary corrections to such improvements have been made to the reasonable
satisfaction of the CITY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the OWNER posts Security with the
CITY in the amount of one hundred five percent(105%) of the amount estimated by OWNER and
approved by the CITY, to be needed to complete such private improvements or to effect such
-7-
corrections, the CITY shall not withhold the issuance of such building permits or certificates of
occupancy.
D. The Security shall constitute a guarantee that all the public improvements
required in a Phase will be constructed by OWNER pursuant to this Agreement and the current
applicable CITY ordinances, and shall be completed (except the final course of asphalt, public
sidewalks and public parkway trees which will be installed by the developers of each Phase)within
a period of time not to exceed two (2) years from the final plat approval for each Phase of the
TERRITORY (any extension of time of the foregoing two (2) year period will be mutually agreed
upon by OWNER and the CITY in writing), and that should OWNER fail or default in the
completion of such obligation within the permitted time,then the CITY may use the Security to the
extent necessary to complete or repair any and all of the improvements secured thereby.
E. OWNER shall be relieved of all continuing responsibility under a Security
provided pursuant to this Section 4 once the CITY has accepted all public improvements required
to be constructed with respect to a given Phase of the development of the TERRITORY,all warranty
work for such Phase, if any, has been performed by OWNER and approved by the CITY, and all
warranties of OWNER hereunder have lapsed;provided,however,that upon completion of a major
portion of the public improvements required with respect to a given Phase of the development of
the TERRITORY, the Security shall be promptly reduced in an amount proportional to the work
then completed, as determined by the CITY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CITY shall be
entitled to retain a portion(not to exceed fifteen [15%] percent) of the Security posted for a Phase
as security for the OWNER'S performance of any warranty work required hereunder for such Phase,
-8-
and to use said portion of the security to perform such warranty work for such Phase in the event
that the OWNER fails to do so as set out in the terms of the current CITY Ordinance so long as said
Ordinance is generally applied to all property within the CITY. Upon the expiration of the
OWNER'S warranty obligation hereunder per Phase,the CITY shall promptly release any remaining
retained amounts under the relevant Security for such Phase.
5. POTABLE WATER SUPPLY SANITARY SEWER RECAPTURE
FUNDING MECHANISMS AND WATER WELL AND TOWER SITE.
A. The CITY represents and warrants to OWNER that the CITY'S potable water,
fire now and water storage facilities will have sufficient capacity to adequately serve the needs of
the OWNER and occupants of the TERRITORY as developed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement when a water tower is constructed on the portion of the TERRITORY described on
Exhibit "I" attached hereto and that will be dedicated to the CITY by the OWNER as part of this
Agreement. The CITY has received the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency("EPA")permit
to construct a one million gallon water tower on such land and will commence such construction
within a reasonable time after the execution of this Agreement by the City.The CITY has disclosed
to OWNER that it is under an EPA mandate to reduce levels of radium in its potable water supply
that requires the expenditure of substantial sums by the CITY in order to obtain permits for
continued water main extensions.
In the event the CITY does not commence actual on-site construction of the proposed
water tower within two(2)years,or does not complete such construction with three(3)years,of the
date of execution of this Agreement by the CITY,ownership of the two (2)acre parcel for the water
-9-
tower site that is being conveyed to the CITY pursuant to this Agreement, and all improvements
thereon, shall revert to the OWNER and at the request of the OWNER,the CITY shall execute and
deliver to the OWNER a warranty deed for such site conveying title free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances and the CITY shall be responsible for all real estate taxes payable through the date
of reconveyance.
B. With the respect to sanitary sewer treatment capacity, the CITY shall work
with OWNER to acquire adequate sanitary sewer treatment capacity for uses within the
TERRITORY as developed pursuant to this Agreement. Additionally, the CITY shall also assist
OWNER in providing adequate means of delivery of such sanitary sewer capacity to the
TERRITORY,subject,however,to the requirements of the YorkvilleBristol Sanitary District which
has jurisdiction or authority over such capacity. The CITY shall use its best efforts to obtain such
governmental approvals and permits, but in the event that its best efforts are not successful, the
CITY shall not be liable for any failure to provide adequate means of delivery of the sanitary sewer
treatment capacity contemplated under this Subsection 5B arising from its inability to obtain such
approvals and permits; and the CITY undertakes no duty to pay for the extension of sanitary sewer
extensions to the TERRITORY.
C. If at the time OWNER proposes to develop any portion or Phase of the
TERRITORY, either the YorkvilleBristol Sanitary District does not have sufficient capacity or
facilities to handle the waste water treatment of that portion or Phase of the TERRITORY being
developed or the CITY does not have adequate means of delivery of the aforementioned waste water
to the treatment plant, it is agreed that the CITY shall not object to any plan proposed by OWNER
-10-
to handle the waste water treatment requirements of that portion or Phase of the TERRITORY being
developed,which plan may include,without limitation,a land application system or common septic
to handle the aforementioned waste water treatment requirements. No individual septic systems
shall be permitted in the residential portion of the subdivision.
D. The CITY represents and warrants to OWNER that there is no administrative,
judicial, or legislative action pending or being threatened that would result in a reduction of, or
limitation upon, any party's right to use the sanitary sewer once the current on-going Yorkville-
Bristol Sanitary District plant expansion is completed.
E. The CITY represents and warrants to OWNER that OWNER shall not become
liable to the CITY or any other party for recapture upon the annexation and/or development of the
TERRITORY for any existing sewer or water lines or storm water lines and/or storage facilities that
may serve the TERRITORY;provided,however, subject to the terms of this Agreement, OWNER
shall be responsible to pay sewer and water connection fees subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,the method for financing water and sanitary sewer extensions to the
TERRITORY has not been determined, nor is being waived by the CITY;provided such financing
does not result in any cost or expense to OWNER, other than customary connection fees not
otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and that are applicable on a city-wide basis.
F. The CITY agrees that if requested by OWNER,the CITY shall cooperate with
OWNER in the establishment of a funding mechanism (including, without limitation, sales tax
rebates or creation of a Special Service Area or other private funding mechanism for the purpose
of financing all public improvements off-site to the TERRITORY or any part or parts or Phase or
-11-
Phases thereof then owned by the requesting OWNER,including,without limitation,potable water,
fire flow and/or water storage facilities, roads, storm water facilities (i.e., storm water sewers,
collection and conveyance improvements, detention ponds if they benefit off-site properties),
sanitary sewer facilities and other off-site public improvements. Such cooperation will include,
without limitation,the enactment of ordinances to: (i) create a Special Tax Service Area, or(ii)to

6. EASEMENTS AND APPROVALS.
OWNER shall obtain all easements, governmental approvals and permissions
-13-
necessary or convenient for the construction of the offsite improvements necessary for development
on the TERRITORY and shall include the exercise, at OWNER'S request, of its eminent domain
powers in order to acquire off-site easements. All reasonable costs related to or associated with
condemnation of property as well as the cost of acquisition of the real property approved in advance
by OWNER for easement purposes only, and not as to acquisition of fee title, shall be the
responsibility of OWNER. The CITY shall not be obligated to incur any acquisition cost not
approved by OWNER. OWNER shall convey to the CITY such reasonable on-site and off-site
easements as may be necessary for the construction and existence of the public improvements
required or contemplated under this Agreement. All easement agreements shall be prepared by the
party responsible for obtaining the easement in question and approved by the CITY prior to
execution by OWNER or the CITY, as appropriate.
7. CONNECTION TO CITY SERVICES FEES AND ABSENCE OF SPECIAL
SERVICE AREA OR SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR THE
TERRITORY.
A. OWNER,subj ect to the terms of this Agreement,shall install within the Phase
being developed the necessary sewer and water extension mains to serve those portions or Phases
of the TERRITORY then being developed in conformity with the final engineering plans approved
by the CITY'S engineering staff and/or the YorkvilleBristol Sanitary District, as applicable.
OWNER shall be responsible for paying to the CITY tapon/connection fees pursuant to CITY
Ordinance, and as amended from time to time; as is generally applicable throughout the CITY.
B. The parties hereto agree that any water and sewer connection fees due under
-14-
the CITY'S ordinances as well as any other fees or charges incident to the connection to or use of
CITY sewer and water mains shall be paid when building permits are issued for each individual
building constructed on the TERRITORY except that said tapon fees for model homes shall be paid
at the time the actual connection is made for such model homes. If OWNER contributes to the
construction of new water facilities or contributes to the construction of the expansion of existing
water facilities that serve any portion or Phases of the TERRITORY and/or other property,the CITY
agrees to waive any and all water connection fees applicable to the portion or Phase of the
TERRITORY (or all thereof) served by the water facilities up to the amount (which will include
interest at a reasonable rate as is determined by the CITY at the time of the request, accrued from
the date such construction was completed)contributed by OWNER towards construction of the new
water facilities or construction of the expansion of existing water facilities. Notwithstanding any
other term or provision in this Agreement to the contrary,the foregoing waiver of connection fees
shall only inure to the benefit of the OWNER that contributes to the aforesaid construction unless
such OWNER specifically assigns its rights thereto in a written assignment and notifies the City of
such assignment (which may be a partial assignment).
C. To the extent that any fees charged by the CITY or other governmental
agency by reason of this Agreement or City Ordinance, are not frozen by the specific terms
contained in this Agreement, such fees may be prepaid as follows:
If the CITY increases any fees that are not prohibited from being increased by the
terms of this Agreement and are applicable to the Territory, the CITY will provide
OWNER with notice thereof and OWNER will be permitted the right to prepay the
-15-
fees as they existed prior to such increase at any time within thirty(30) days after
receipt of the notice of the increase of the fees from the CITY. OWNER's right to
prepay will apply to all fees or only certain fees applicable to the TERRITORY as
selected by OWNER and prepayment of a particular fee will prevent the increase in
such fee from being applicable to that portion of the TERRITORY for which such
fee was prepaid. For fees charged on a per residential unit basis, OWNER may
estimate the number of residential units and pay such fees based on such estimated
number of units or may prepay for only a certain number(determined by OWNER)
of units. Once the calculation is made,no refund of any portion of any prepayment
made will be allowed.
D. The CITY represents and warrants to OWNER that no part of the
TERRITORY is currently subject to nor is there pending any request to subject any part of the
TERRITORY to any special service area or special assessment district that will result in any special
taxes or assessments for any portion of the TERRITORY; other then charges to existing drainage
districts of record; if any.

certain of the public improvements and facilities within a Phase of the TERRITORY under
development have been completed, and(ii)delivery to the CITY of all required documentation,the
CITY shall inspect said improvements and indicate,in writing,either its approval or disapproval of
the same. If such improvements are not approved,the reasons therefor shall,within said thirty(30)
calendar days period,beset forth in a written notice delivered to OWNER. Said reasons shall relate
to defects in labor and materials and the clearing of manholes and catch basins only and not to items
in the nature of general and ordinary maintenance or changes in standards. Upon OWNER's
corrections of the items set forth in said notice,the CITY,at OWNER's request,shall re-inspect the
improvements to be corrected and either approve or disapprove said improvements in writing within
ten (10) working days of receipt of OWNER's notice requesting said re-inspection. As public
improvements are partially completed and paid for by OWNER,the Security deposited by OWNER
with the CITY shall, if requested by OWNER, be proportionately reduced or released on an
individual improvement-by-improvement basis.
C. OWNER shall be allowed to construct the required off site and onsite
improvements simultaneously with the issuance of building permits for individual lots and/or
buildings,but it is understood that building permits may not be issued unless OWNER has provided

control prevents installation of such sidewalks and/or landscaping), serving any said lot or building
shall be installed by OWNER and approved by the CITY,however,before an occupancy permit is
issued for said lot or building,and the balance of the required onsite subdivision improvements not
required to serve said lot or building may be constructed in phases after issuance of the aforesaid
occupancy permit, as the development on each Phase progresses.
D. All completedpublic improvements constructed on,or in connection with the
development of, the TERRITORY or any Parcel or Phase thereof following their inspection and
approval by the CITY shall be conveyed by a bill of sale to, and accepted by, the CITY on an
improvementbyimprovement basis within thirty (30) days of receipt of written request for
acceptance submitted to the CITY by the OWNER. The CITY'S acceptance of any conveyance of
a public improvement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall be on a Phase or
developmentbydevelopment basis(i.e.,acceptance of public improvements in a particular Phase or
unit of development of the TERRITORY shall not be contingent upon acceptance of public
improvements in another Phase or unit of development,provided the public improvements being
accepted can function and perform their intended purpose independent of the public improvements
in another Phase or unit of development, or if dependent on the public improvements in another
Phase or unit of development,the public improvements on such other Phase or unit of development
-18-
have been accepted by the CITY).
E. The CITY shall issue permits to OWNER to authorize the commencement
of construction of utility improvements on the TERRITORY or any Parcel or Phase thereof prior

improvements are being constructed has been approved by the CITY; and (4) the IEPA and the
YorkvilleBristol Sanitary District,as applicable,have issued permits for the construction of sanitary
sewer and water lines for the Phase on which the improvements are being constructed. The CITY
agrees to process IEPA sewer and water permit applications separate and apart from the review of
final engineering plans so that the IEPA will be in a position to issue such permits prior to CITY
approval of final engineering plans. OWNER shall indennnify the CITY against any claims, actions
or losses the CITY may suffer, sustain or incur because another governmental agency takes action
against the CITY after OWNER undertakes development activities pursuant to the provisions of this

16. RECAPTURE AND BENEFITTED PROPERTIES.
If: (a) sewer and/or water lines installed in any Phase of the TERRITORY by
OWNER are sized to a capacity to serve properties other than OWNER'S; (b)the construction and
installation of any water and/or sewer connections and extensions will benefit any property lying
outside the applicable Phase of the TERRITORY; (c)in order to improve the TERRITORY or any
portion thereof, OWNER is required to expend funds to construct or enlarge the wastewater
facilities, water facilities and/or stone water facilities (i.e., storm water sewers, collection and
conveyance improvements, and detention ponds) which facilities will benefit any property lying
outside of the applicable Phase and which is not owned by OWNER installing same,(the foregoing
(a), (b) and (c) are hereinafter collectively referred to in this Section 16 as "capacity"); or (d) any
of the road improvements will benefit any property lying outside of the Phase of TERRITORY in
which the road improvements are installed; the costs and expenses of any capacity above and
beyond the capacity needed by OWNER and the cost and expense of the road improvements relative
to that portion of the road improvements that will benefit the other property lying outside the Phase
in which the road improvements are installed shall be subject to recapture if connection thereto is
made by any other party. The CITY agrees, pursuant to Chapter 65, Sections 5/951 of Illinois
-25-
Compiled Statutes (2002), to execute a recapture agreement contract with OWNER by which the
CITY agrees to reimburse OWNER from amounts collected from benefitted property owners for that
portion of the cost of such capacity and/or road improvements which will benefit other properties
and to hold hearings on such contract as are required by statute. The recapture agreement shall
provide for reimbursement from such other parties connecting to such capacity and/or benefitting
from such road improvements on a prorata basis. Each person using such capacity and/or benefitting
from such road improvements shall pay to OWNER the cost for that portion used and/or that will
benefit such other owners together with interest at a reasonable rate as determined at the time a
recapture agreement,is sought on such portion with such interest to accrue commencing on the date
of acceptance by the applicable governmental authority of such capacity and/or road improvements
and continuing until OWNER has been repaid for such portion. Any recapture agreement shall
include customary provisions for the repayment to OWNER of all costs and expenses, including,
without limitation,administration fees and approved reasonable interest rate thereon of constructing
and installing such capacity and/or road improvements. The CITY agrees to hold all public hearings
necessary to bind the other parties using the capacity and/or benefitting from the road improvements
to the recapture agreement benefitting OWNER. Both the area benefitted by the capacity and/or
road improvements and the amount of said benefit for each property shall be determined by the
CITY. Such recapture agreement contract shall be for a term of twenty (20) years and shall also
provide that the CITY shall collect such costs of the capacity used by other owners and/or the costs
of road improvements,together with all costs, expenses,interest and administrative fees charged to
the owner of such property outside the Phase or portion of the TERRITORY (which may include
-26-
the entire TERRITORY)upon which the capacity or road improvements have been installed upon
the first to occur of the time of platting, development or issuance of a building permit for such
owners' properties or the connection to and use of the said capacity and/or road improvements by
the respective properties of each owner. The CITY agrees not to issue building permits to a
benefitted owner of property until such property's recapture amount and interest have been paid in
full. The CITY shall have no liability under the recapture agreement contract except for amounts
collected from benefitted property owners or if the CITY issues building permits without obtaining
collected funds from such property owners for their recapture amounts due under the recapture
agreement contract.
17. CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY AND MODELS.
A. The CITY shall not be obligated to issue a certificate of occupancy for any
building constructed within the TERRITORY until the entire building for which a certificate of
occupancy is being sought is connected to and capable of being served by sanitary sewers (which
may include connection to sewer facilities described in Section 5 C of this Agreement), storm
sewers, water mains, public streets, natural gas lines, and electric utilities, and is in conformance
with the CITY'S Building Codes. The CITY shall issue certificates of occupancy for buildings and
dwelling units constructed on the TERRITORY or any Parcel or Phase thereof within ten (10)
working days after proper application therefor or within ten(10) working days after the receipt of
the last of the documents or information required to support such application, whichever is later.
If the application is disapproved,the CITY shall provide the applicant within five(5)working days
after receipt of the application and all documentation or information required to support such
-27-
application, with a statement in writing of the reasons for denial of the application including
specification of the requirements of law which the application and supporting documents fail to
meet. The CITY agrees to issue such certificates of occupancy upon the applicant's compliance with
those requirements of law so specified by the CITY. The CITY, at its expense, shall retain the
services of such consultants and/or hire such employees as may be necessary to ensure that the
CITY is able to fulfill its obligations under this Subsection 17A. The foregoing,however, shall not
negate the obligation of OWNER to pay all fees otherwise payable for services rendered in
connection with the issuance of certificates of occupancy under applicable CITY ordinances. The
CITY shall not require OWNER to prepare and submit individual grading plans for dwelling units
constructed on the TERRITORY or any Parcel or Phase thereof as a condition precedent to issuance
of certificates of occupancy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, certificates of occupancy shall be issued by the CITY for
buildings and dwelling units whose driveway and/or sidewalk paving and grading improvements
have not been completely finished due to adverse weather conditions subject to the following
understandings: (i) if a certificate of occupancy is issued for such a building or dwelling unit and
a party fails to complete the driveway and/or sidewalk paving or grading improvements for such
building or dwelling unit as soon as weather permits but in any event by the following summer,the
CITY shall have the right to withhold the issuance of further building permits to such party until
such exterior work has been completed; (ii) with respect to the last Phase of development on the
TERRITORY,for any building or dwelling unit for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued
with incomplete exterior conditions, adequate security,which may be by a bulk surety in the form
-28-
of a letter of credit or surety bond, shall be posted with the CITY to ensure the completion of such
work; and (iii) the CITY is hereby granted rights of access to the applicable Phase of the
TERRITORY so that, if necessary, the CITY can complete such work. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if OWNER posts Security with the CITY in the amount of one hundred five percent
(105%) of the amount estimated by OWNER and approved by the CITY to be needed to complete
such improvements or to effect such corrections,the CITY shall not withhold the issuance of such
building permits or certificates of occupancy. Under no circumstances shall the failure of
Commonwealth Edison or another utility company to have installed street lights within a given
Phase of development on the TERRITORY constitute a basis for the CITY denying the issuance of
building permits or a certificate of occupancy for buildings and dwelling units constructed or to be
constructed within such Phase of the TERRITORY.
B. The CITY agrees to allow OWNER to construct and use a model unit for each
type of housing product being constructed in the particular development Phase after a final plat of
subdivision for a Phase has been approved and recorded for all or any portion of the TERRITORY.
OWNER and each builder or developer to whom OWNER sells a portion of the TERRITORY shall
be permitted to apply for and shall receive one (1) temporary certificate of occupancy for each
different type or design of model building which they may respectively construct within the
TERRITORY,provided,however, that no such temporary certificate of occupancy shall be issued
unless the model building at issue otherwise complies with the CITY'S building codes and related
codes,and,in the reasonable opinion of the CITY building department,is suitable for nonresidential
occupancy. The CITY agrees to permit in the model home area temporary fencing, lighting,
-29-
signage,parking lots and promotional structures. Each developer shall submit to the CITY for its
approval plans and specifications for the model homes that the developer seeks to construct within
a model home site. The CITY shall review and approve or disapprove,by written notice,those plans
and specifications within thirty(30) days of their submission. Failure to provide such notice shall
be conclusively deemed approval of such plans and specifications. Once those plans and
specifications have been approved by the CITY, the CITY shall issue building permits for the
construction of such model homes. Said model dwelling homes need not be connected to sewer and
water until they are occupied as residences,as long as temporary sanitary facilities(i.e.,septic fields
or holding tanks) are made available at the builders' cost,to serve said model dwelling units. If the
model homes otherwise comply with the building codes and requirements existing as of the time
such homes are constructed, any more restrictive changes in such codes enacted prior to the time a
request for issuance of final certificates of occupancy is submitted to the CITY shall not be
applicable to such model homes. Before model homes are occupied as residences, they shall be
connected to sewer and water facilities and all other utility services offered to homes in the Phase
of development of the TERRITORY that contains such model homes. The CITY also agrees to
allow OWNER to constrict and use a temporary sales office and a construction trailer per
development Phase. The temporary sales trailer shall be removed at such time as the model units
being served by said temporary sales office are available for residential use. The aforesaid
temporary use permits shall be issued upon the CITY'S approval of each final plat of subdivision
for each Phase of Parcel 1.
18. DISPLAY PURPOSES.
-30-
The CITY agrees to allow OWNER to open for display purposes the model units
prior to co �ection to sanitary sewer and water subject to OWNER obtainin
m g approval of the CITY
for temporary water and sanitary sewer services or alternate means of satisfying said lack of
available utilities at the model home area being developed.
19. TEMPORARY PARKING.
The CITY agrees to allow OWNER to construct temporary parking facilities (with
binder course asphalt) or other appurtenances to the model units and sales office prior to recording
a final plat of subdivision for that Phase of the TERRITORY upon which the model units and sales
offices are to be located subject to the approval of the CITY and compliance with the CITY'S
building codes.
20. FEMA LETTERS OF MAP REVISION.
The CITY shall cooperate with OWNER in securing conditional and final letters of
map revision from the Federal Emergency Management Agency so that the limits of floodplain
existing on the TERRITORY,if any,are accurately delineated. The CITY acknowledges and agrees
that the issuance of such letters shall not be a condition precedent to the commencement of grading,
construction or development activities on the TERRITORY and OWNER shall have the right to
proceed with such activities, at their risk,prior to the issuance of such letters provided: (i)no work
is undertaken in the regulatory floodway; (ii) the party seeking to undertake such work first
establishes, to the satisfaction of the CITY, the boundaries of the floodplain on the portion of the
TERRITORY upon which said work is to be undertaken; (iii) the party undertaking such work
provides one hundred percent(100%)compensatory storage for any portion of the floodplain it fills;
-31-
(iv)no dwelling unit lot situated in the floodplain that is awaiting issuance of a letter of map revision
is conveyed to any third party purchaser until such letter of map revision is issued by FEMA; and
(v)the party seeking to undertake the work issues a hold hannless indemnification letter to the CITY
in a format acceptable to the CITY. If FEMA or another governmental agency other than the City
or its divisions issues a stop work order on a portion of the TERRITORY that is awaiting issuance
of a letter of map revision, the CITY shall not be deemed in default under the provisions of this
Agreement and the party seeking to undertake work on such portion of the TERRITORY shall stop
such work until such stop work order is rescinded or declared invalid. Such party shall not be
required to stop work on portions of the TERRITORY that are not within the floodplain,
notwithstanding the issuance of such stop work order.
21. TRANSFER.

because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly classified
in any particular district or districts without consideration, in each
case, of the impact of those uses on neighboring land and of the
public need for the particular use at the particular location. Such -
special uses fall into two (2) categories:
1. Uses publicly operated or traditionally affected with a public
interest.
2. Uses entirely private in character but of such an unusual nature
that their operation may give rise to unique problems with respect to
their impact upon neighboring property or public facilities.

members of the City Council.

other property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose already

shall not be located over the sewer main. Inlets and catch basins shall have 4 required weep holes
(2" diameter) with an approved drainage fabric covering. All backfill is to be a CA7 aggregate.
All storm sewer roadway crossings from structure to structure must be backfilled with CA7
aggregate and completely encapsulated in an approved drainage fabric. In this manner the curb
subgrade, the storm crossings and the inlets and catch basins create a roadway underdrain system
for longer roadway life.
If subgrade conditions are excessively sensitive to moisture or other special conditions, a capped,
perforated plastic underdrain may be required under the curb and gutter. All storm water
conduits 12" diameter and larger shall be internally televised in color just prior to City acceptance
and shall be free of defects, sags, dirt and debris. All parking lots shall be drained internally and

the concrete storm sewer pipe, the joint shall be sealed with hydraulic cement. In no case shall the
sump pump discharge pipe extend beyond the inner surface of the concrete storm sewer pipe.
Connections, however, shall be into a structure where ever practical.
Individual storm sewer services shall not be required in areas of the development where soil and
ground water conditions indicate that sump pumps would run very infrequently. If the developer
does not wish to install storm sewer services, he shall perform soil borings at regular intervals
(300' to 400' grid typical) during the final plan preparation stage to determine soil types and
-S10-
Standard Specifications
ground water elevations. Boring locations are subject to approval by the City. Each boring shall
extend at least 20 feet below existing ground elevation and be referenced to the development
benchmarks. If the boring logs show granular soil and also show ground water elevations at least
5 feet below planned basement floor elevations, then individual storm sewer services shall not be
required in that area of the development. During excavation of every basement in that area, the
developer shall verify (with City representative present) that the granular soil and deep ground
water conditions exist. If either condition is found not to exist at a building location, the
developer shall construct a storm sewer service to that building in conformance with these
Standard Specifications.
The design of the storm water collection system shall be for a 10 year storm running just full. The
only exception to this is where the receiving storm water system has less capacity and here the
new system of conduits shall be designed for a 5 year event running just full. The minimum
velocity shall be 2.5 fps and the maximum shall be 8 fps. The storm sewer pipe shall have a
minimum cover of 3 feet. Storm sewer manholes shall be 5' in diameter and constructed of

Where a continuous grade is carried across an inlet or catch basin casting, the open vaned cover
shall be used, Neenah No. R-32868V, East Jordan No.EV-7520, or approved equal. All
manholes castings shall be Neenah No. R-1030, East Jordan No. 105123 and type B cover, or
approved equal. All type B covers shall have "City of Yorkville" and "Storm" cast into the top
and shall be the concealed pickhole type. All sections of the manholes shall be completely sealed
with butyl.rope including the casting. Manholes shall not be allowed in the pavement, curb and
gutter or sidewalk. All flared end sections 15" or larger shall have grates.
In Estate residential developments, a ditch shall be required on both sides of the street and shall
have a minimum profile slope of 1% (side slope 4:1 on the street side, and 3:1 on the lot side).
The storm water storage system shall be designed utilizing a modified Rational method as follows:
1. Q=(Cm)IA where a run off co-efficients or Ca is calculated for the site based upon actual
proposed surface coverage. Cm then equals 1.25 times Ca.
2. The following run off co-efficients shall be utilized as minimums:
Surface C
Grass .50
Asphalt/Concrete .98
Roof 1.00
Detention/Retention 1.00

shall reduce this allowable release rate where the downstream accepting system is experiencing
-S11-
Standard Specifications
drainage problems such as the Elizabeth Street Swale where all receiving discharges are limited to
0.10 cfs/acre. The outlet structure design shall address the 2 year (0.04 cfs/acre) and the 25 year
(0.08 cfs/acre) storm control in addition to the 100 year event.
4. The minimum size restrictor shall be a 4 inch by 12 inch long HD PVC pipe. The design
must be designed for easy maintenance and cleaning during a storm event. The discharge shall be
directly to a downstream storm sewer if one is available within a reasonable distance. If not, the
discharge will be to the surface with approved energy dissipation and downstream erosion
protection.
5. The rainfall intensities to be utilized are those established by the Illinois State Water
Survey's Bulletin 970 as amended for the specific City of Yorkville area. In designating the
required storm water storage volumes, the maximum value calculated using the various events
shall be utilized. See Figure 3 for a sample calculation.
6. The storm water storage areas must have a containment for 12 inches of additional storm
water storage with an approved calculated overflow area at 6 inches above calculated 100 year
elevation. This overflow shall have an erosion concrete curtain wall with a minimum thickness of
8 inches, a minimum depth of 3 feet below grade and a length to extend a minimum of 4 feet
beyond the limits of the overflow on either end. This wall is not to be formed but is to be .
trenched or excavated into natural soil or into the compacted fill and is to be finished flush to the
ground.
7. The storm water storage areas will not be accepted by the City or included in calculations
for park land donations. However, the City may elect to accept such areas if they are combined
with a park area that meets the requirements as specified in the attached exhibits. Should the City
not accept the storm water storage area, the area will need to be covered by an easement,
including access thereto, such that should the private ownership not maintain said area as
necessary, the City can cause such corrections and bill the owner including any and all
administrative costs. The engineering plans shall have a full sheet dedicated to the soil erosion
and sedimentation control requirements for the development including silt fencing, straw bales,
drainage fabric, etc. Failure to properly maintain this system may result in major storm sewer
cleaning within the site and in the offset storm system. The City reserves the right to place a hold
on all building permits and inspections. Keeping the streets clean is part of this plan and failure to
do so will result in these actions. The engineering plans shall have a one or more full sheets
dedicated to the final grading of the entire site. The minimum grade for all grass areas shall be
2% except that Swale areas may be at 1% if it is over an approved, piped underdrain. Slopes shall
be shown with arrows at all locations from all break points. A grading plan on an 8-1/2" x 11"
paper for the actual building must be submitted for each building permit submitted and will
become a part of the building permit. All top of foundation elevations will be a minimum of 2.
feet, and a maximum of 3 feet above the street centerline elevation measured at the center of the
lot in question unless the City Engineer directs otherwise based on site specific conditions.
Drives must be at a minimum slope of 2% and a maximum slope of 8% toward the curb flow line
from the garage. When the forms for the foundation are ready to pour, a top of foundation
-S12-
Standard Specifications
elevation and location certification of a registered surveyor or engineer, as approved by the
building inspector, is required prior to pouring the concrete into the forms. The tolerance here is
0.15 feet lower and 0.5 feet higher, and behind all applicable setback and easement lines.
Requests for an occupancy permit must include an as-built grading plan signed and sealed by a
registered land surveyor showing the original approved grades and slopes along with the actual
grades just prior to the occupancy permit request. The actual grades must fall within a tolerance
of 0.15 feet in order to receive an occupancy permit. Top soiling and seeding or sodding, if
applicable, must be in place prior to the final grading plan. All City incurred costs of reviewing
these grading plans shall be the responsibility of the developer. Note that specific building codes,
ordinances and permitting procedures which may be established by the City shall supersede these
requirements.
8. The storm water areas shall be designated according to the guidelines below. In addition
to these standards, the City may require that stormwater detention and retention facilities
incorporate currently acknowledged Best Management Practices to improve stormwater quality.
A. Storm Water Retention(Wet Ponds)

based upon the above, the study shall include, but not be limited to addressing the following
issues:
INTRODUCTION: A general description of the proposed development including it's size,
location, the political jurisdiction in which the site is located, the boundary limits of the study area,
and, any other information needed to aide in the review of the development's traffic impacts.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A description of the existing and proposed land uses of the
development. (If alternative land uses are being proposed, the highest trip generation uses shall
be assigned for each land use).
_S19-
Standard Specifications
SITE ACCESSIBILITY: A clear and concise description of the proposed ingress/egress points
to the proposed development including a sight distance analysis.
EXISTING EXTERNAL ROADWAY NETWORK: A description of the existing external
roadway networking the vicinity of the proposed development to include functional classification,
primary traffic control devises, signalized intersections, roadway configurations, geometric
features (curves and grades), lane usage, parking regulations, street lighting, driveways serving
sites across from or adjacent to the site, and right-of-way data. (The area of influence shall be
determined by the traffic generated from the site, the trip distribution of traffic, and the trip
assignment of the traffic generated by the development over the surrounding area road network).
EXISTING AM, PM AND TOTAL DAILY TRAFFIC VOLUMES - Existing AM, PM and total
daily traffic volumes for access driveways (if existing), intersections and the roadway network in
the site vicinity shall be determine and displayed on a graphic(s) in the final report. To determine
AM and PM existing traffic volumes, machine counts and/or manual counts shall be conducted
during a three hour period of the morning between approximately 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM of a
average or typical weekday, and between approximately 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM on an average or
typical weekday. Peak hour counts may be required on Saturday and/or Sunday depending on the
proposed land use. All AM and PM peak hour counts shall be recorded and summarized in 15
minute increments and included in the Appendix of the final report. Manual counts shall include
vehicle classifications, i.e. passenger cars, single-unit, multi-unit trucks and buses. Traffic counts
shall show both entering and exiting traffic at the proposed access points (if existing) in addition
to turning and through traffic movements at critical intersections.
TRIP GENERATION RATES AND VOLUMES - Trip generation rates and volumes for each
type of proposed land use shall be determined for the AM and PM peak hours, and total daily
volumes may be required on Saturday and/or Sunday depending on the proposed land use. The
trip generation rates shall be calculated from the latest data available contained in the Institute of
Transportation Engineer's "Trip Generation Manual". If trip generation rates for a specific land
use are not available from the "Trip Generation Manual", the City of Yorkville shall approve the
substitute rates.
SITE GENERATED TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT - The most logically traveled
routes in the vicinity of the development shall be used for trip distribution and assignment
purposes. The directional distribution of site-generated traffic approaching and departing the
development should be shown in both graphic and tabular form. All assumptions used in the
determination of distribution and assignment shall be clearly stated.
EXISTING PLUS SITE GENERATED TRAFFIC VOLUMES - Existing plus site generated
traffic volumes for the AM, PM peak hours, and total daily traffic for access drives, intersections
and the roadway network in the site vicinity shall be determined and displayed on a graphic(s) in
the final report. Traffic volumes shall show both entering and exiting traffic at the proposed
access points in addition to turning and through traffic movements at critical intersections.
-S20-
Standard Specifications
FUTURE TRAFFIC (EXISTING PLUS SITE GENERATED) VOLUMES -Future traffic
(existing plus site generated traffic volumes) for the AM, PM peak hours, and the total daily
traffic for access drives, intersections and roadway network in the site vicinity shall be determined
and displayed on a graphic(s) in the final report. Projected increases in the external (non-site
related) roadway traffic must also be determined. (The selection of a horizon year for which
traffic operation conditions are to be characterized may be considered as the date full buildout and
occupancy is achieved. If the project is a large multi-phased development in which several stages
of development activity are planned, a number of horizon years may be required that correspond
to the bringing on line of major development phases. Horizon dates should be timed to coincide
with major stages of the overall project or to coincide with increments of area transportation
system improvements).
INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS -Proposed access driveways and influenced
intersections shall be subject.to an existing plus projected capacity analysis. Projected traffic
conditions shall include the effects of any committed developments within the influenced area.
The existing and projected levels of service derived from the analysis shall be used to aid in the
evaluation of design and operation alternatives of the access driveways and influenced
intersections. The capacity analysis shall be in accordance with the techniques described in the
most recent edition of the Transportation Research Board's "Highway Capacity Manual", Special
Report 209.
SPECIALIZATION WARRANTS - If it is anticipated that the development's driveway(s) or
existing external non-signalized intersections will satisfy signalization warrants, a warrant analysis
shall be conducted using the projected volumes determined from the trip generation. The results
of such an analysis shall be tabulated in the traffic impact study.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS - Clear and concise descriptions of the findings
shall be presented in the final report. These findings shall include all recommended improvements
for access facilities, internal roadways and intersections, and external roadway and intersection
improvements.
