Open Space and Park Amenities
Heartland in Yorkville
Land/Cash Ordinance as it pertains to Park Land
Heartland in Yorkville is comprised of 186 single family homes and 11.762 acres of
commercial. The land planning at Heartland has been skillfully conceived to create
19.294 acres of permanent open space. A 1.4 mile paved trail system meanders through
the permanent open space. As a result of consultation with the Park Board, City Staff,
and City Council members, we propose the following solution for the Land/Cash
ordinance as it pertains to park land:
1. The Developer will install at their cost, an 8 foot wide continuous asphalt paved ,r
trail system, substantially as indicated on the Preliminary Plat.
2. The final planning for the trail system will be a joint effort of the Developer, the
Park Board, and the City Staff.
3. The Developer shall grant to the City of Yorkville a permanent public pedestrian
access easement to all public trail systems.
4. The Developer at his expense, will install a public tot-lot adjacent to the trail
system.
5. The final location and planning for the tot-lot will be a joint effort of the
Developer, the Park Board, and the City Staff.
6. The Developer shall grant to the City of Yorkville a permanent public pedestrian
access easement and maintenance easement to the tot-lot.
7. The Developer/Homeowner's Association shall maintain the trail system.
8. The City of Yorkville shall maintain the tot-lot.
9. Both the trail system and the tot-lot shall be included in the City of Yorkville
Parks liability insurance coverage.
4071,, The swimming pool and swim clubhouse shall be open to all residents of the City
of Yorkville on a yearly fee basis and at the sole discretion of the
Developer/Homeowner's Association.
11. The Developer shall contribute $50,000 cash to the City of Yorkville Park Board.
Items 1 through 11 shall fulfill any and all obligations that the Developer shall be
obligated to under the City of Yorkville Land/Cash Ordinance regarding park land.
As per the City of Yorkville Land/Cash Ordinance, the 12.631 acres of open space being
provided by the Developer has a value of$473,662. The paved trail system installation is
estimated to cost.$85,000. The swim club and, swimming pool is estimated to cost
$160,00. The tot-lot is estimated to cost $40,008, heartland in Yorkville is providing
more that $808,600 in land and public recreational services to the City of Yorkville. We
feel that this amount far exceeds the requirements of the City of Yorkville Land/Cash
ordinances as it applies to park land.
Respectfully submitted.
