EXHIBIT B
Plan Set
Vernon Township Facilities
3050 N Main Street
Item 1: Project Narrative
Vernon Township seeks to build a cricket pitch on our fields located at 3050 N. Main Street in
Buffalo Grove. As the Township continues to evaluate our existing portfolio of recreational
services and programs, we have been contemplating the addition of a cricket pitch to our fields.
Users currently use our baseball and softball fields informally to play cricket. Over the years,
many residents have reached out to elected officials regarding the desire to have additional
high-quality cricket pitches across the region.
Vernon Township has worked with vendor SportCourt Midwest to design and evaluate the
feasibility of a cricket pitch at the site. A 66' x 12' x 4" concrete pad is expected to be poured on
top of 4" of compacted stone and covered with 2" thick artificial turf.The orientation of the
cricket pitch is designed to be able to maintain use of the softball fields located at the NW and
SE corner of the property. The distance between the pitch and home plate exceeds the
expected field of play for the softball fields. The raised mound located on the baseball field at
the SW corner will be removed as part of this.
Vernon Township additionally plans to add padding to the light poles that are around the edges
of the field of play. The lights are not designed to illuminate the cricket pitch and no lights will
be allowed for use with cricket. Our existing lots at the Township Administration Building and
Community Service Building have 60 and 65 parking spaces, respectively. Each lot also has four
ADA spaces.
Estimated users are expected to vary, although we expect groups of�20 people to play most
weekends during the summer during our existing park hours. Weekday use is expected to be
light, with potential for youth league practices and games during the afternoon and evening in
the summers. We intend to extend our existing ballfield rules to cricket pitch users to maintain
consistency in rules.
Item 5: Written response to the Special Use Standards.
A. All special uses shall meet the following criteria:
1. The special use will serve the public convenience at the location of the subject
property;or the establishment,maintenance or operation of the special use will
not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,morals,comfort,or
general welfare;
i. With existing ballfields and recreational use,the addition of a cricket
pitch will further serve the public convenience at Vernon Township.
Appropriate safety measures are being implemented to avoid any issues.
2. The location and size of the special use,the nature and intensity of the operation
involved in or conducted in connection with said special use,the size of the
subjed property in relation t�such special use,and the location of the site with
respect to streets giving access to it shall be such that it will be in harmony with
the appropriate,orderly development of the district in which it is located;
i. Given the existing ballfields and recreational use,the addition of a cricket
pitch will be in harmony with the appropriate,orderly development of
the district. �
3. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property
in the immediate vicinity of the subject property for the purposes already
permitted in such zoning district,nor substantially diminish and impair other
property valuations with the neighborhood;
i. There is expected to be no major spill over into the property in the
immediate vicinity of the subject property.Any effects are not expected
to be different than the presence of a baseball or football team.
4. The nature, location and size of the buildings or structures involved with the
establishment of the special use will not impede,substantially hinder or
discourage the development and use of adjacent land and buildings in accord
with the zoning district within which they lie;
i. The cricket pitch does not greatly alter the existing purpose of the site
and it does not impede or hinder adjacent developments.
5. Adequate utilities,access roads,drainage,and/or other necessary facilities have
been or will be provided;
i. There are no expected utilities, roads,or other facilities needed. Drainage
is not expected to be an issue given the substantial grass fields capable of
absorbing the minimal runoff from the slab.
6. Parking areas shall be of adequate size for the particular special use,which areas
shall be properly located and suitably screened from adjoining residential uses,
and the entrance and exit driveways to and from these parking areas shall be
designed so as to prevent tra�c haza�ds,eliminate nuisance and minimize traffic
congestion in the public streets.
i. There are no planned changes to the Vernon Township parking lot.
Additional parking is available at the Township's Community Services
Building and Peterson Park.
B. The special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the
zoning district in which it is focated, except as such regulations may be varied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,business planned unit developments shall conform with
Section 17.44.040(D) unless varied.
C. The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend and the Corporate Authorities
may impose such conditions and restrictions upon the subject property,the location,
the construction and design of buildings and use of the property benefited by such
special use as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the foregoing criteria.
D. Notwithstanding Chapter 17.52,the Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend
and the Corporate Authorities may vary the regutations of the zoning district in which
the special use is located subject to meeting the criteria of Section 17.52.070(A)(1)—(3),
except for planned unit developments which shall meet the general objectives of
Section 17.28.050(A)(1)—(7).
