RECYCLED FOR A BETTER ENVIRONMENT
V
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The members of the Corridor Planning Council for Central Lake County come
together in an effort to reach a common vision of future development and to
identify the necessary methods for achieving it. 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."
