EXHIBIT A
ORDINANCE NO. 79 -63
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR PARK, SCHOOL
AND LIBRARY DONATIONS
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove has experienced a rapid popula-
tion increase due to annexations and the subdivision and planned unit devel-
opment of vacant land; and
WHEREAS, planning studies have indicated that such population growth
will continue, resulting in the rapid disappearance of available land 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 and library 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 therefrom, 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 calcu-
lated; and
WHEREAS, it has been found and determined that the locations of park and
recreation, school sites, and adequate library facilities to serve the immed-
iate 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 and cash contribution to insure adequate
library facilities 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, con-
venience, health, welfare and safety requires that standards be provided in order
that owners and developers are informed with respect to the policy of the Pres-
ident 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 development or cash contribution in lieu of actual land dedi-
cation, or a combination of both, at the option of the Village, and make a cash
contribution to provide adequate library facilities, in accordance with the
following criteria and formula:
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 intended.
Land set aside by developers for parks, recreation and
conservation purposes shall not be what has been left over
-1-
0 •
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 re-
quirement shall be 5.5 acres of land per 1,000 of ultimate
population in accordance with the following classifications:
Types of Minimum Acres per
Recreation Area Size Range 1,000 people
1. Play Lot
2. School -Park
(Neighborhood
Playground)
3. Neighborhood

Minimum 32 acres
Minimum 4 acres up
to 30 acres
5. Community -wide Minimum 12 acres
Recreation Park up to 30 acres
TOTAL
C. Location:
1.0
1.25
2.0
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
development 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.
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 recreational services. Depending
on the size of the'development, a portion of the park and recre-
ation 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 projected 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 degree of improvement and
the installation of recreational facilities, including equipment
-2-
0 0
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 subdivider or developer
must guarantee that these private recreation areas will be perma-
nently 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
Development" as adopted by the Buffalo Grove Park District shall
be used for the guidance of the developer. When an adjustment
for private recreation areas is warranted, it will be necessary
to compute the total park land dedication 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 residential - 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 (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 classification as stated herein. The product thereof
shall be the acres of land deemed needed to have sufficient land
for school sites to serve the estimated increased children in
each school classification.
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:
Maximum Number of Students Minimum Number
School Classification for each such School Class- of acres of Land
by Grades ification for each School
Site of Such
Classification
Elementary Schools,
Grades - Kindergarten
thru 5th (K -5)
Junior High Schools
Grades 6th thru 8th (6 -8)
High Schools, Grades 9thi
thru 12th (9 -12)
-3-
600 students 8 acres
900 students 15 acres
2300 students 40 acres
0 0
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 Comprehensive 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 to Library
Districts
A. Requirement:
The ultimate density of a proposed development shall bear direct -
ly upon the cash contribution required. The total population
of a development will be determined pursuant to Section 5 -
Density Formula.
B. Contribution:
A cash contribution equivalent to 1.8 books per - person gener-
ated from a proposed subdivision or planned unit development
at a cost of $12.00 per book shall be required.
SECTION 4. 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 inapprop-
riate for park and recreational purposes 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
contributions in lieu of park and recreation land dedication
shall be held in trust by the Village, or other public body
designated by the Village, solely for the acquisition of park
and recreation land as hereinbefore 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 sub-
division or development or for the improvement to any existing
school site which already serves such needs or for the improvement
or use of any school site specifically and uniquely attributable
to the proposed subdivision or development and also for the con-
struction of any school building 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.
-4-
B. 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 $35,000 per
acre and such figure shall be used in making any calculation
herein unless the subdivider 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 development or other evidence thereof
and final determination 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 subdivider or developer
and from other sources which may be submitted to the Village
Board by the Park District, School District or others.
C. Criteria for Requiring Dedication and a Fee:
There may be situations in subdivisions or planned unit develop -
ments when a combination of land dedication and a contribution
in lieu of land are both advisable.
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 dedicated
as a site as aforesaid, and a cash contribution in lieu
thereof shall be required 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 com-
plete the site. The remaining portions shall be re-
quired by dedication, and a cash contribution in lieu
thereof shall be required.
SECTION 5. Densitv Formula
EXHIBIT A - "Table of Population Density" is attached hereto.
The "Table of Population Density" is generally indicative 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 contribu-
tions in lieu thereof 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 development and in that event final determination
-5-
9 .
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 District, Library 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 6. Reservation of Additional Land
Where the comprehensive plan or the standards of the Village
call for a larger amount of park and recreational land or
school sites in a particular subdivision or planned unit
development than the developer is required to dedicate, the
land needed beyond the developer's contribution shall be re-
served for subsequent purchase by the Village or 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 7. 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 developments in order to produce useable recre-
ation areas or school sites without hardship on a particular
developer.
SECTION 8. Topography and Gradinq_
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 9. 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 therefore;
The sidewalk and parkway improvements will be installed before
final acceptance of public improvements.
SECTION 10. Land Conveyance by Warranty Deed
Any land to be dedicated or donated shall be conveyed by
warranty deed. Prior to acceptance, a title insurance
commitment in an amount of no less than $1,000 must be pro-
vided. Said title insurance commitment must be acceptable
to the Village.
SECTION 11. Cash Contributions
Cash contributions shall be made at the time building permits
are issued. In the event a subdivider or developer 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, School District, and Library District and
make a final determination of a payment schedule. Alternative
payment schedules shall always precede the issuance of building
permits.
SECTION 12. 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 provisions therefore shall be
governing all lands within the Village and shall be incorpor-
ated in any pre- annexation agreement governing such land.
SECTION 13. Severability
If any provisions of this Ordinance, or the application there -
of to any person or circumstances is declared invalid by a
court of competent 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.

or use of any school site specifically and uniquely attributable
to the proposed subdivision or development and also for the con-
struction of any school building 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.
-4-
B. 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 $35,000 per
acre and such figure shall be used in making any calculation
herein unless the subdivider 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 development or other evidence thereof
and final determination 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 subdivider or developer
and from other sources which may be submitted to the Village
Board by the Park District, School District or others.
C. Criteria for Requiring Dedication and a Fee:
There may be situations in subdivisions or planned unit develop -
ments when a combination of land dedication and a contribution
in lieu of land are both advisable.
These occasions will arise when:
(a) Only a portion of the land to be developed is proposed
as the location for park or school site. That
portion of the land within the subdivision falling
within the park or school location shall be dedicated
as a site as aforesaid, and a cash contribution in lieu
thereof shall be required 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 com-
plete the site. The remaining portions shall be re-
quired by dedication, and a cash contribution in lieu
thereof shall be required..
SECTION 5. Density Formula
EXHIBIT A - "Table of Population Density" is attached hereto.
The "Table of Population Density is generally indicative 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 contribu-
tions in lieu thereof 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 development and in that event final determination
-5-
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 District, Library 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 6. Reservation of Additional Land
Where the comprehensive plan or the standards of the Village
call for a larger amount of park and recreational land or
school sites in a particular subdivision or planned unit
development than the developer is required to dedicate, the
land needed beyond the developer's contribution shall be re-
served for subsequent purchase by the Village or 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 7. 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 adjoinng developments in order to produce useable recre-
ation areas or school sites without hardship on a particular
developer.
SECTION 8. 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 9. 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 therefore.
The sidewalk and parkway improvements will be installed before
final acceptance of public improvements.
SECTION 10. Land Conveyance by Warranty Deed
Any land to be dedicated or donated shall be conveyed by
warranty deed. Prior to acceptance, a title insurance
commitment in an amount of no less than $1,000 must be pro-
vided. Said title insurance commitment must be acceptable
to the Village.
SECTION 11. Cash Contributions
Cash contributions shall be made at the time building permits
are issued. In the event a subdivider or developer files a
written request to make payment at some time other than at the
-6-
issuance of building permits, the Village Board will consult
the Park District, School District, and Library District and
make a final determination of a payment schedule. Alternative
payment schedules shall always precede the issuance of building
permits.
SECTION 12. 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 provisions therefore shall be
governing all lands within the Village and shall be incorpor-
ated in any pre - annexation agreement governing such land.
SECTION 13. Severability
If any provisions of this Ordinance, or the application there-
of to any person or circumstances is declared invalid by a
court of competent 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 14.
This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after
its passage, approval, and publication in pamphlet form accord-
ing to law.
