WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 11 -12-5, and 11-12-11 of the Illinois
Municipal Code, municipalities are granted the authority to apply their
subdivision regulations to unincorporated areas contained within the terri-
tory governed by their official plan or map; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to the case of City of Urbana vs. County of
Champaign, the Supreme Court of Illinois determined that a Planned Unit
Development can be considered as a subdivision pursuant to State Statutes;
and,
WHEREAS, the Village of Lake Bluff has an adopted official plan and
subdivision regulations which define a planned unit development as being
subject to said regulations; and,
WHEREAS, a 7 acre, 72 unit apartment development was proposed within
the unincorporated planning area of the Village of Lake Bluff; and,
WHEREAS, the Village of Lake Bluff objected to said development
because of the developers failure to submit improvement plans to the Village
for review under its subdivision ordinance; and,
WHEREAS, it appears that Lake County and the developer were working
together in an attempt to avoid the application of the Lake Bluff subdivision
ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Trial Court Judge imposed the requirement that under
the Urbana case, the Village must show that the construction would have a
developmental impact on the health and safety of the residents of the Village;
and,
WHEREAS, the Judge determined that the avoidance of developer school
and park contributions, the adverse traffic impact and potential drainage
problems to Lake Bluff was insufficient showing of impact; and,
