The Council provides a forum for coordinated planning, for sharing information on development impacts and for avoiding overloading public facilities, environmental damage, and destructive intergovernmental competition. Transportation demands in the corridor require a cooperative response. However, it is recognized that Council members differ on the central issue of whether an expressway should be constructed within the corridor. The Council will not seek to resolve that issue but will identify the development pattern which must be protected regardless.of what transportation facilities ultimately are constructed in the corridor. Thus, the development plans would become a given in the assessment of transportation plans. In no way will concurrence in the land use agreements of the Council be construed as agreement in construction of an expressway or other particular transportation facilities. However, because of the importance of transportation issues, the Council must consider transportation demands as it seeks consensus on an overall land use pattern and seek the best available information on the transportation development process. In order to develop an adequate growth strategy for the area, Council members will seek to reach consensus on the following: l.Agreements on Future Land Use in the Corridor. The Council will seek to identify an overall development pattern that can receive the endorsement and support of all member jurisdictions, thus providing mutual support. Individual pairs of communities, with Lake County, will seek to enter into more detailed agreements regarding the land uses in their adjacent areas. 2. Jurisdictional Boundary Compacts. Boundary agreements will be sought between adjacent communities. The role of the Council will be to establish a process and provide encouragement to the respective parties. Agreement on boundaries will be important to assure that land use agreements are not upset by subsequent annexations. 3.Environmental Controls. Minimum standards will be sought for local regulation of the environment, to protect all communities from the effects, direct and indirect, of development in the corridor. Because of the importance of highway construction, the Council will seek concurrence on these.standards from IDOT and other highway construction agencies operating in the corridor. Further,.these standards will allow the Council to consider and possibly seek adjustment in the location or design of the proposed expressway. 4.Implementation Methods. In order to reinforce local authority, the Council will attempt to identify additional methods of assuring the achievement of the ' collectively agreed upon growth strategy. This may involve legislative action regarding intergovernmental agreements or environmental standards. It is our understanding that the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission representatives will apprise the Council of regional development concerns, and that when Council agreement is reached, the Commission will consider our consensus plan for inclusion in the Regional Land Use Policy Plan. W A. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Principles related to environmental protection will help to safeguard the existing environmental quality of the Corridor by eliminating,` or at least minimizing, impacts of growth on the area's natural resources. Application of these principles will be necessary to protect and enhance the environment with or without the introduction of an expressway facility. It is the intent of these princirles to upgrade the quality of the present natural environment which has suffered from past agricultural and suburban impacts. The first four principles stated below pertain to development regulations which are also to be addressed in the Lake County stormwater management plan. That plan will lead to ordinances establishing minimum standards to be enforced throughout the county. Principles 1 -4 are offered in anticipation of agreement on broader or more stringent standards within the Corridor than may be required on a county -wide basis. PRINCIPLES 1. Streams and Wetlands: Each - Corridor municipality and Lake County will regulate development to protect streams and wetlands within the Corridor by adoption of ordinances consistent with minimum standards recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Require adequate mitigation measures for approved modifications, including 1.5 to 1 mitigation for filled wetlands, and maintenance and monitoring for at least 5 years." 2. Floodnlain Management: Each Corridor municipality and Lake County will manage floodplains within the Corridor through the adoption of ordinances consistent with minimum standards recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Require hydraulically- equivalent compensatory storage for all construction in flood fringe areas, unregulated depressional storage areas, and wetlands." 3. Soil Erosion and Sediment Control: Each Corridor municipality and Lake County will manage soil erosion and sediment control within the Corridor through the adoption of ordinances consistent with minimum standards- recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Require that erosion and sediment control measures be in place as part of land development process and before significant grading or disturbance is allowed." 4. Stormwater Detention and Drainage: Each Corridor municipality and Lake County will regulate stormwater detention and drainage within the Corridor through the adoption of ordinances consistent with minimum standards recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Use hydrograph -based methodologies in combination with Illinois State Water Survey Bulletin 70 rainfall data in design of stormwater systems." 5. Groundwater Protection: The Corridor municipalities and Lake County will utilize the authority delegated to local government by the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act to assure the protection of groundwater within the Corridor. Example Standard: "The Corridor Council will, by (date) appoint a groundwater committee to develop recommendations for carrying out the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act." 6. Woodland /Vegetation Protection: Each Corridor municipality and Lake County will preserve and expand the use of appropriate trees and other forms of vegetation through the adoption of ordinances (including replacement factors) consistent with minimum standards recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Each Corridor municipality and Lake County shall adhere to a list of tree species acceptable for planting on municipal /county owned property. Such a list shall, by agreement, also apply to lands owned by agencies of the State of Illinois." 7. Open Space Preservation: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will establish standards and a program for permanent open space preservation to protect critical natural resources, to provide buffers between incompatible land uses, to expand outdoor recreation opportunities, and to preserve as much as possible the existing open /semi -rural character of the Corridor. Example Standard: "Twenty (20) acres of new, regionally oriented open space /conservation land should be established for every 1000 new residents and jobs within the Corridor, primarily within environmentally sensitive areas and areas of high scenic value." 8. Noise: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will establish standards for noise levels and design criteria for mitigation pertaining to any major development within the Corridor including, but not limited to, the design of any expressway proposal. Example Standard: "Any proposed expressway should be constructed below grade wherever possible to facilitate noise mitigation. Latest technology should be examined for the most aesthetically and environmentally appropriate solutions." 9. Artificial Illumination: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will establish standards for artificial illumination and design criteria for mitigation pertaining to development within the Corridor including, but not limited to, the design of any expressway proposal. Example Standard: "Lighting in conjunction with any proposed expressway should be limited to interchange areas only." B. LAND USE Common objectives of land use control within the corridor include: * Minimizing traffic generation at each level of development intensity within the corridor; Maximizing the compatibility of land uses located adjacent to neighboring jurisdictions, as well as that of land uses with greater than local impacts; and * Maintaining the open, environmentally attractive character of the corridor. Accordingly, the land use principles presented below, whether related to land use adjacent to the expressway or corridor wide issues, seek to fulfill these objectives. PRINCIPLES 1. Comprehensive Planning: Each Corridor municipality and Lake County will prepare and maintain its own comprehensive development plan. W Example Standard: "Each plan should be submitted to the Corridor Council for advisory review purposes prior to adoption by the authorizing governmental unit." 2. Capital Development Programs: Each Corridor municipality anticipating significant population or employment growth and Lake County will prepare and maintain its own multi -year capital development program to be reviewed and updated at reasonable intervals. Example Standard: "Each capital development program will be updated not. less than once every two years, " 3. Balanced Development: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will seek a balance within central Lake County between the size and characteristics of the local housing supply and the size and nature of local employment opportunities. Example Standard: "A ratio of not less than 2 residents per job should be maintained." 4. Alternatives to the Automobile: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will regulate land development consistent with minimum standards recommended by the Council for the purpose of promoting the use of pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation facilities and services. Example Standard: "Corridor municipalities and Lake County will require sidewalks for new residential construction at a density of _ or more dwelling units per acre." 5. Land Planning and Auto Trip Length: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will regulate land development consistent with minimum standards recommended by the Council for the purpose of shortening distances of commonly made trips. Example Standard: "Corridor municipalities and Lake County will avoid necessitating the use of arterial highways for trips (auto, bus, bike, or pedestrian) between adjacent, large -scale developments." 6. Land Use /Transportation Facility Compatibility: Corridor municipalities, Lake County, and appropriate state agencies will assure the mutual compatibility of major transportation facilities and adjacent land uses through the application of standards recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Corridor municipalities, and Lake County will adopt the PACE development guidelines to direct site planning for new developments." 7. Land Use Conflicts: The Corridor Planning Council will serve as a forum for discussing standards and procedures for planning and managing land uses which are: 1) adjacent to municipal borders, 2) of greater than local impact, or 3) in transition areas between high growth and conservation areas. Example Standard: "The Corridor Council will define developments of "greater than local impact" and provide a mechanism to facilitate the voluntary resolution of conflicts regarding such developments." C. URBAN /LANDSCAPE DESIGN Urban /landscape design principles identify those subject areas where aesthetic values need to be protected or enhanced throughout the Corridor. The standards developed under these principles can pertain to overall development within the corridor as well as to specific design characteristics of any major new road. V PRINCIPLES 1. Landscape Design: Each Corridor municipality, Lake County, and, by agreement, appropriate Illinois agencies will regulate development of major transportation facilities and adjoining frontage areas in accordance with minimum. landscape design standards recommended by the Council. Standards may also.be. developed for application between major, incompatible land uses.. Example Standard: "Along state highways and strategic regional arterial routes, landscape easements shall be '100 feet wide." 2. Signage: Each Corridor municipality, Lake County, and, by-agreement,- appropriate Illinois agencies will regulate-non-directional signage in accordance with minimum standards recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Corridor .municipa1ities and Lake County will regulate off - premises signs within 1500 feet of any proposed expressway." 3. Design Treatment of Possible Future Exoresswav: The Corridor Council.and, by agreement, appropriate Illinois_ agencies will adopt and enforce standards relating to the location, design and aesthetic qualities of any expressway. proposed to be built within the Corridor. Such standards may pertain to alignments, berms,' bridges,• borrow• pits, culverts, interchanges, maintenance facilities, medians, rest stops, shoulders, stormwater drainage and retention facilities, toll collection facilities, or any other physical or aesthetic feature of a proposed expressway or tollroad. Example Standard: "Where possible, roadside drainage: and detention improvements should be designed as natural streams, swales and wetlands." D. UTILITIES Existing plans for utility service could be affected by the possible introduction of an expressway facility which could isolate small portions of -sewer 'service areas. Changing land. use plans and higher growth expectations may also require a review of present wastewater facility.plans for central Lake County. Other issues include the treatment of electrical and gas lines in the event of any major new development in the corridor.. PRINCIPLES 1. Wastewater Facilities: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will review existing wastewater facility plans for the Corridor area and revise as necessary in the light of the Principles of Agreement, revised land use plans and growth projections, and in conjunction.,with any proposed expressway construction. 2. Electrical and Gas Lines: Corridor municipalities, Lake County and the Illinois Department of Transportation will work with the utility companies to ensure earlier notification and coordinated provisions of new services or changes ' in service provisions caused by any major developments in the Corridor. Example Standard: "Should an expressway be constructed, earlier notification to utility companies should be given to ensure the'most efficient provisions of electrical and gas services." W W E. TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION Principles pertaining to transportation coordination_ are for the purpose of minimizing the need for automobile travel and /or reducing traffic congestion. A separate agreement between the Corridor Council and the Illinois Department of Transportation will provide for the consistency of the FAP 432 EIS with these Principles of Agreement. PRINCIPLES 1. Transportation Demand Management: Corridor municipalities and Lake County will seek to establish employer based programs designed to reduce traffic generated during .peak periods by the adoption of ordinances consistent with minimum standards recommended by the Council. Example Standard: "Large employers within the Corridor shall each develop a traffic management plan specifying demand management practices to be utilized toward attaining a municipally approved peak period trip generation rate. 2. Mass Transportation: The Corridor Council and private developers will work with Pace and Metra to explore the expansion of mass transportation alternatives. 3. Bicycle and Pedestrian Circulation: The Corridor Council will seek to develop and implement a plan for bicycle usage and pedestrian circulation throughout the Corridor area. Example Standard: "Should an expressway be constructed, special provisions should be made for bicycle and pedestrian crossings in accordance with a Corridor Council plan." 4. Upgrading Regional Arterials and Local Collector Streets: The Corridor Council municipalities, and Lake County will cooperate with the Illinois Department of Transportation in developing plans for Strategic Regional Arterials, other arterial highways, and a local collector street system. Example Standard: "Each Corridor municipality will establish a system of local collector streets to provide both north -south and east -west traffic movement for local trips. The collector street system will then be coordinated with the Strategic Regional Arterial System and other arterials." i 5. Arterial Access Management: Each Corridor municipality and Lake. County will regulate. access to arterial highways from adjacent properties and intersecting roads in accordance with Council recommended standards. Example Standard: "Corridor municipalities and Lake County will adopt regulations prohibiting direct arterial highway access, i.e. curb cuts, for properties along arterial roads within 114 mile from any expressway interchange."
