PARK AND SCHOOL LAND DONATIONS
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove has experienced
a rapid population increase due to annexations and the subdivision
and planned unit development of vacant land; and
WHEREAS, planning studies have indicated that such pop-
ulation growth will continue, resulting in the rapid disappearance
of available land and the marked increase in land values; and
WHEREAS, the Village has found that healthful, productive
community life depends in part on the availability of recreational
and park space and adequate school facilities; and
WHEREAS, demographic studies of the residential portions
of a proposed subdivision or planned unit development can be readily
and scientifically conducted to determine the number of elementary
and secondary school age children and adults to be generated there-
from, and provide a method whereby dedications of land directly
attributable to the activity of the subdivider - developer and the
proposed subdivision or planned development may be calculated; and
WHEREAS, it has been found and determined that the loca-
tions of park and recreation and school sites to serve the immediate
and future needs of residents and children of each new subdivision
or planned unit development is just as essential to proper land
development as /are streets, water, sewers and sidewalks, and to that
end the Village has determined that the dedication of land for park
and recreation and school sites or cash contributions in lieu of
actual land dedication (where the latter is deemed impractical) or
a combination of both, should be required of each subdivider or developer
of a planned unit development; and
WHEREAS, it is hereby found and determined that the public
interest, convenience, health, welfare and safety requires that
standards be provided in order that owners and developers are in-
formed with respect to the policy of the President and Board of
Trustees:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the President and Board
of Trustees of the Village of Buffalo Grove, Cook and Lake Counties,
Illinois that:
As a condition of approval of an annexation, a final plat
of subdivision, or of a final plat of a planned unit development,
each owner, subdivider or developer will be required to dedicate
land for park and recreational purposes and land for school sites, to
serve the immediate and future needs of the residents of the develop-
ment, or cash contribution in lieu of actual land dedication, or a
combination of both, at the option of the Village, in accordance with
the following criteria and formula:
MC
SECTION 1. Criteria for Park and Recreation Land Dedication
A. Philosophy of Acceptance:
The land or site for Park and Recreation land dedication
must be suitable for the purpose for which it is intend-
ed. Land set aside by developers for parks, recreation
and conservation purposes shall not be what has been
left over after residential, commercial, industrial,
and other municipal development has been taken for
prime land.
B. Requirement and Population Ratio:
The ultimate density of a proposed development shall
bear directly upon the amount of land required for
dedication. The total requirement shall be 5.5 acres
of land per 1,000 of ultimate population in accordance
with the following classifications:
Types of
Recreation Area
1. Play Lot
2. School -Park
(Neighborhood
Play Ground)
3. Neighborhood
Park
4. District -Wide
Park or Play
Field
5. Community Wide
Recreation Park
C. Location:

TOTAL
5.5 acres of land
per 1,000 people
The Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan and /or
the "Standards by Types of Recreation and Park Areas"
as adopted by the Buffalo Grove Park District shall
be used as a guideline in locating sites. A central
location which will serve equally the entire develop-
ment is most desirable and whenever feasible the site
shall be in close proximity to elementary school sites.
In large developments these sites can be located
throughout the development according to established
standards for park area distances.
-2-
n�_
D. Credit for Private Open Spaces and Recreation Areas:
When subdividers or developers provide their own open
space for recreation areas and facilities, it has the
effect of reducing the demand for local public recrea-
tional services. Depending on the size of the develop-
ment a portion of the park and recreation area in
subdivisions or planned unit developments may at the
option of the Village Board be provided in the form of
"private" open space in lieu of dedicated "public"
open space. The extent of same shall be determined
by the Village Board, based upon the needs of the pro-
jected residents and in conformance to the total park
and recreation land for the general area.
In general, a substitution of private open space for
dedicated parks will imply a substantially higher de-
gree of improvement and the installation of recreational
facilities, including equipment by the developer as
part of his obligation. Detailed plans of such areas,
including specifications of facilities to be installed,
must be approved by the Village Board, and before any
credit is given for private recreation areas, the sub-
divider or developer must guarantee that these private
recreation areas will be permanently maintained for such
use by the execution of.the appropriate legal documents.
Private "swimming clubs" are included in this provision.
A copy of "Suggested Criteria for Swimming Pool Develop-
ment" as adopted by the Buffalo Grove Park District shall
be used for the guidance of the developer. When an ad-
justment for private recreation areas is warranted, it
will be necessary to compute the total park land dedica-
tion that would have been required from the subdivision
or planned unit development and then subtract the
credit to be given.
SECTION 2. Criteria for Requiring School Site Dedication
A. Philosophy of Acceptance:
All Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High Schools
shall be located to serve the greatest number of
children possible within walking distance. Access
shall be available on fully improved streets.
Adjacent land use to the school site must be considered.
School sites shall not serve as buffers between residen-
tial - commercial and residential - industrial use.
B. Requirement and Population Ratio:
The ultimate number of students to be generated by a
subdivision or planned unit development shall bear
directly upon the amount of land required to be
dedicated for school sites.
The land dedication requirement shall be determined by
obtaining the ratio of: (1) estimated children to be
served in each such school classification over the
-3-
0
0
(2) maximum recommended number of students to be
served in each such school classification as
stated herein, and then applying such ratio to
the (3) said minimum recommended number of acres
for a school site of each such school classifica-
tion as stated herein. The product thereof shall
be the acres of land deemed needed to have suffic-
ient land for school sites to serve the estimated
increased children in each such school classifica-
tion.
C. School Classifications and Size of School Site:
School classifications and size of school sites within
The Village shall be determined in accordance with
the following criteria:
School Classifi-
cation by Grades
Elementary Schools,
Grades - Kindergar-
ten thru 5th (K -5)
Junior High Schools
Grades 6th thru
8th (6 -8)
Maximum Number of
Students for each
such School Classi-
fication
600 Students
900 Students
High Schools, Grades 2300 Students
9th thru 12th (9 -12)
Minimum Number
of Acres of Land
for each School
Site of Such
Classification
8 Acres
15 Acres
40 Acres
Whenever planning is done jointly with the Park District for
a school -park site, the school -owned portion shall comply
with the specifications contained herein.
D. Location:
The Comprehansive School Plan and or the standards
adopted by the affected School District shall be
used as a guideline in locating sites. Variances
in land uses could, however, change the locations
and or number of sites.
SECTION 3. Criteria for Requiring a Contribution in Lieu
of Park and School Sites
A. Where the development is small and the resulting site
is too small to be practical or when the available
land is inappropriate for park and recreational pur-
poses or a school site, the Village shall require the
subdivider or developer to pay a cash contribution in
lieu of the land dedication required. The cash contri-
butions in lieu of park and recreation land dedication
shall be held in trust by the Village, or other public
-4-
Csm
e
body designated by the Village, solely for the
acquisition of park and recreation land as here -
inbefore classified, which will be available to
serve the immediate or future needs of the
residents of that subdivision or development or
for the improvement of other existing local park
and recreation land which already serves such
needs.
The cash contributions in lieu of school sites
shall be held in trust by the Village, or other
public body designated by the Village solely for
use in the acquisition of land for a school site
to serve the immediate or future needs of children
from that subdivision or development or for the
improvement to any existing school site which al-
ready serves such needs or for the improvement or
use of any school site specifically and uniquely
attributable to the proposed subdivision or devel-
opment and also for the construction of any school
buildings or additions thereto. If any portion of
,a cash contribution in lieu of park and recreation
land dedication, or cash contribution in lieu of
school site is not expended for the purposes set
forth herein within ten years from the date of
receipt, it shall be refunded to the developer
who made such contribution.
Fair Market Value:
The cash contributions in lieu of land shall be
based on the "fair market value" of the acres of
land in the area improved as specified herein,
that otherwise would have been dedicated as park
and recreation and school sites. It has been
determined that the present "fair market value"
of such improved land in and surrounding the Village
is $25,000 per acre and such figure shall be used
in making any calculation herein unless the sub-
divider or developer files a written objection
thereto. In the event of any such objection the
developer shall submit an independent appraisal by
an MAI appraiser showing the "fair market value"
of such improved land in the area of his develop -
ment or other evidence thereof and final determin-
ation of said "fair market value" per acre of such
improved land shall be made by the Village Board
based upon such information submitted by the sub-
divider or developer and from other sources which
may be submitted to the Village Board by the Park
District, School District or others.
Criteria for Requiring Dedication and a Fee:
There may be situations in subdivisions or planned unit
developments when a combination of land dedication and
a contribution in lieu of land are both advisable.
-5-
o •
These occasions will arise when:
(a) Only a portion of the land to be developed
is proposed as the location for a park or
school site. That portion of the land
within the subdivision falling within
the park or school location shall be ded-
icated as a site as aforesaid, and a cash
contribution in lieu thereof shall be re-
quired for any additional land that would
have been required to be dedicated.
(b) A major part of the local park or recreation
site or school site has already been acquired
and only a small portion of land is needed
from the development to complete the site.
The remaining portions shall be required by
dedication, and a cash contribution in lieu
thereof shall be required.
SECTION 4. Density Formula
EXHIBIT A - "Table of Population Density" is attached
hereto.
The "Table of Population Density" is generally indica-
tive of current and short range projected trends in
family size for new construction and shall be used
in calculating the amount of required dedication of
acres of land or the cash contributions in lieu there-
of unless a written objection is filed thereto by the
subdivider or developer.
In the event a subdivider or developer files a written
objection to the Table of Estimated Ultimate Population
listed herein, he shall submit his own demographic study
showing the estimated additional population to be
generated from the subdivision or planned unit devel-
opment and in that event final determination of the
density formula to be used in such calculations shall
be made by the Village Board based upon such demographic
information submitted by the subdivider or developer
and from other sources which may be submitted to the
Village Board by the Park District, School Districts,
or others. It is recognized that population density, age
distribution and local conditions change over the years,
and the specific formula for the dedication of land, or
the payment of fees in lieu thereof, as stated herein,
is subject to periodic review and amendment if necessary.
SECTION 5. Reservation of Additional Land
Where the comprehensive plan or the standards of the
Village call for a larger amount of park and recrea-
tional land or school sites in a particular subdivision
or planned unit development than the developer is re-
quired to dedicate, the land needed beyond the developer's
contribution shall be reserved for subsequent purchase
by the Village of other public body designated by the
Village, provided that such acquisition is made within
one year from the date of approval of the final plat.
cm
SECTION 6. Combining with Adjoining Developments
Where the subdivision or planned unit development is
less than 40 acres, public open space or a school
site which is to be dedicated should, where possible,
be combined with dedications from adjoining devel-
opments in order to produce useable recreation areas
or school sites without hardship on a particular
developer.
SECTION 7. Topography and Grading
The slope, topography, geology, grading and ground
cover of the dedicated site must be suitable for its
intended purposes and conform to design standards
established by the Village Engineer. Grading on
sites shall not differ greatly from surrounding land.
SECTION 8. Improved Sites
All sites shall be dedicated in a condition ready for
full service of electrical, water, sewer and streets
(including enclosed drainage and curb and gutter) as
applicable to the location of the site, or acceptable
provision made therefor. The sidewalk and parkway
improvements will be installed before final acceptance
of public improvements.
SECTION 9. Land Conveyance by Warranty Deed
Any land to be dedicated or donated shall be conveyed
by warranty deed. Prior to acceptance, a title insur-
ance commitment in an amount of no less than $1,000
must be provided. Said title insurance commitment
must be acceptable to the Village.
SECTION 10. Cash Contributions
Cash contributions shall be made at the time building
permits are issued. In the event a subdivider or devel-
oper files a written.request to make payment at some
time other than at the issuance of building permits,
the Village Board will consult the Park District and
School District and make a final determination of a
payment schedule. Alternative payment schedules shall
always precede the issuance of building permits.
SECTION 11. Annexation
The policy of land dedications or cash contributions
in lieu thereof as set forth herein shall also apply
to annexations of any land to the Village and provis-
ions therefor shall be governing all lands within the
Village and shall be incorporated in any pre- annexation
agreement governing such land.
-7-
SECTION 12. Severability
•
If any provisions of this Ordinance, or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances is declared in-
valid by a court of competant jurisdiction, such
partial invalidity shall not affect other provisions
or applications of this Ordinance, which can be given
affect without the invalid provision or application
thereof, and to this extent the provisions of this
Ordinance are declared to be severable.
SECTION 13.
This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from
and after its passage, approval, and publication in
pamphlet form according to law,

tive of current and short range projected trends in
family size for new construction and shall be used
in calculating the amount of required dedication of
acres of land or the cash contributions in lieu there-
of unless a written objection is filed thereto by the
subdivider or developer.
In the event a subdivider or developer files a written
objection to the Table of Estimated Ultimate Population
listed herein, he shall submit his own demographic study
showing the estimated additional population to be
generated from the subdivision or planned unit devel-
opment and in that event final determination of the
density formula to be used in such calculations shall
be made by the Village Board based upon such demographic
information submitted by the subdivider or developer
and from other sources which may be submitted to the
Village Board by the Park District, School Districts,
or others. It is recognized that population density, age
distribution and local conditions change over the years,
and the specific formula for the dedication of land, or
the payment of-fees in lieu thereof, as stated herein,
is subject to periodic review and amendment if necessary.
SECTION 5. Reservation of Additional Land
Where the comprehensive plan or the standards of the
Village call for a larger amount of park and recrea-
tional land or school sites in a particular subdivision
or planned unit development than the developer is re-
quired to dedicate, the land needed beyond the developer's
contribution shall be reserved for subsequent purchase
by the Village of other public body designated by the
Village, provided that such acquisition is made within
one year from the date of approval of the final plat.

SECTION 6. Combining with Adjoining Developments
Where the subdivision or planned unit development is
less than 40 acres, public open space or a school
site which is to be dedicated should, where possible,
be combined with dedications from adjoining devel-
opments in order to produce useable recreation areas
or school sites without hardship on a particular
developer.
SECTION 7. Topography and Grading
The slope, topography, geology, grading and ground
cover of the dedicated site must be suitable for its
intended purposes and conform to design standards
established by the Village Engineer. Grading on
sites shall not differ greatly from surrounding land.
SECTION 8. Improved Sites
All sites shall be dedicated in a condition ready for
full service of electrical, water, sewer and streets
(including enclosed drainage and curb and gutter) as
applicable to the location of the site, or acceptable
provision made therefor. The sidewalk and parkway
improvements will be installed before final acceptance
of public improvements.
SECTION 9. Land Conveyance by Warranty Deed
Any land to be dedicated or donated shall be conveyed
by warranty deed. Prior to acceptance, a title insur-
ance commitment in an amount of no less than $1,000
must be provided. Said title insurance commitment
must be acceptable to the Village.
SECTION 10. Cash Contributions
Cash contributions shall be made at the time building
permits are issued. In the event a subdivider or devel-
oper files a written request to make payment at some
time other than at the issuance of building permits,
the Village Board will consult the Park District and
School District and make a final determination of a
payment schedule. Alternative payment schedules shall
always precede the issuance of building permits.
SECTION 11. Annexation
The policy of land dedications or cash contributions
in lieu thereof as set forth herein shall also apply
to annexations of any land to the Village and provis-
ions therefor shall be governing all lands within the
Village and shall be incorporated in any pre - annexation
agreement governing such land.

thereof, and to this extent the provisions of this
Ordinance are declared to be severable.

and after its passage, approval, and publication in
pamphlet form according to law.
