102 acres from “SFR1” Single-Family Residential to “PD-I” Planned
Development Industrial and “PD-C” Planned Development Commercial zoning.
The applicant, Mark Goode with Venture One Real Estate located at 95100
Bryn Mawr Avenue in Rosemont, Illinois, introduced himself. He noted Jeff
Raduechel, Senior Vice President of Development Services for Venture One
Real Estate was also in attendance. Mr. Goode stated the purpose of this
petition goes back many years and gave some history of the development and
the ownership. He said in 2004, the development was owned by Paul Layman
and Macom Corporation and they did a development agreement to construct
the Target building. Mr. Goode said in 2007 Macom Corporation bought the
Orr Parcel which was zoned “SFR1” Single-Family Residential. He said Park
88 Group, LLC bought Park 88 in 2009-2010 and have built three buildings for
3M, working under a development agreement that is still in effect. Mr. Goode
said he would like the development agreement to be updated to accommodate
future growth for the remaining vacant parcels. Mr. Goode stated the
development could support several new buildings and has the area to
accommodate over 2 million square feet.
Principal Planner Olson went through the staff report dated June 28, 2019,
stating the applicant, Park 88 Group, LLC, is requesting approval of an
amendment to the Development Agreement for Park 88 approved by
Ordinance No. 04-53 and the Annexation Agreement approved by Ordinance
07-61 to accommodate future growth. He stated the petitioner is also
requesting that approximately 102 acres of property, also called the Orr Parcel,
in the northeast portion of the development be rezoned from “SFR1” Single-
Family Residential to “PD-I” Planned Development Industrial and “PD-C”
Planned Development Commercial.
Principal Planner Olson went through the history of approval for Park 88. He
said in 2004 the City Council approved the Final Plat and Final Development
Plans for the Target Distribution Center, then in 2007 approved the Final Plat
and Final Plan for the first 3M building along Fairview Drive. Principal Planner
Olson said in 2010 the City Council approved the Final Plan and Plat for the
second 3M building and in 2015 a third 3M building was approved.
Principal Planner Olson gave a summary of the changes between the 2004 and
2007 Ordinances and the proposed development and annexation agreements.
He said the list of permitted uses was expanded and is more specific, reflecting
the current Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) list of uses. He said the
area of the site within 400 feet of East Lincoln Highway will be allowed retail
and service uses and be rezoned to “PD-C” Planned Development –
Commercial. Principal Planner Olson also noted setback standards for
buildings and parking lots from the ComEd right-of-way (along the west side of
Peace Road) are proposed to be more consistent with the setbacks in the
agreement from a street right-of-way. He said the maximum building height
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 3, 2019
Page 3 of 6
remains at 100 feet; however, the amendment would increase the height from
40 feet to 60 feet when additional setbacks apply.
Principal Planner Olson noted changes are proposed for the interior roadway
alignments, with future buildings and roadway layouts better defined in the
northeast portion of the site, east of Target. He said an area of smaller lots and
an internal public roadway at the northwest corner of Peace Road and Fairview
Drive is proposed for removal, and the area is to be replaced with one large
building with private roadways. He added the City has presently programmed
the portion of Peace Road from I-88 to Illinois Route 38 (Lincoln Highway) for
improvements at an estimated total cost of $10 Million with Federal and state
grants covering eighty percent of the costs and local funding covering twenty
percent. He said the owner has agreed to be responsible for the payment of
$750,000 for any local share of the cost of designing and constructing Peace
Road. Principal Planner Olson added the proposed agreement states the City
will perform maintenance work on Macom Drive in 2020.
Principal Planner Olson went on to mention the proposed language establishes
new architectural guidelines and removes the private development guidelines
and Development Review Committee that was in the 2004 Ordinance. He also
noted modifications are proposed for the landscaping standards to be more
consistent with the current UDO regulations. Principal Planner Olson stated
language as it relates to signage is proposed to be more in-line with the current
UDO standards and contains more specific language regarding allowable wall
signage and “address” features on buildings. Lighting standards were also
expanded to be “dark sky” compliant and to be more consistent with the current
UDO regulations. Maximum pole heights are proposed at 35 feet compared to
the 30-foot maximum in the UDO. Principal Planner Olson mentioned the
amended agreement requires the owner to make a one-time contribution to the
City of $120,000 for a public bike path along Fairview Drive. He said it is
anticipated the City will construct a path on the north side of Fairview Drive to
allow for the safe movement of employees who walk or ride bikes to the various
employers along the roadway.
Principal Planner Olson continued going through the June 28th staff report
noting the Standards of Rezoning criteria have been met, including compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan. He said the rezoning request conforms to the
intent and purpose of the UDO and he described how the standards for a
Planned Development have been met. He said there was a Citizen Response
Form from Gary Tadd, representing 407 Industrial Drive (Pinkston-Tadd
Roofing Services) indicating their support for the rezoning and amendments.
Another Citizen Response Form was received from Panduit (1700 East
Fairview Drive) containing some comments/questions regarding the petition.
He said staff responded to the questions posed.
Chair Doe opened to public comment.

Paul Borek, Executive Director of the DeKalb County Economic Development
Corporation (DCEDC) spoke about the benefits of Park 88 to DeKalb County.
He described Park 88 as a first-class business complex and noted there has
been 3.5 million square feet of industrial development that has occurred. He
said this has generated a large amount of revenue for the County and the taxing
bodies involved. He said the development of the 3M buildings and the Target
Distribution Center have generated over 2,300 jobs. He said the DCEDC
supports this petition and said it will attract additional world-class businesses.
Ms. Buckley asked for clarification regarding the proposed retail area. Mr.
Goode said they are proposing to rezone an area along East Lincoln Highway
to PD-C. Ms. Buckley asked if there were any potential users for the property.
Mr. Goode responded not at this time. Mr. Maxwell said he supports the
proposal and only had concerns regarding light pollution and the pedestrian
walkways but acknowledged they had been addressed. Mr. Klein commended
the applicant for the work done on this project. Ms. Barbe stated she did not
realize there had been 2,300 jobs generated by Park 88 and noted she
supports the request and advised the applicant to try and avoid the “boxiness”
of the buildings along the entryways. Chair Doe asked about the proposed
sidewalk along Fairview Drive and its route. Principal Planner Olson mentioned
staff will review to see where the safest area would be along Fairview. Chair
Doe asked about crosswalks over Fairview to the employers. Principal Planner
Olson responded by stating there would have to be an examination of where
the best locations for crosswalks would be. Chair Doe noted it could be
dangerous on that road and advised to improve the appearance of the future
buildings to be more updated. Ms. Buckley asked about maintenance work on
Macom Drive. Principal Planner Olson stated there is none at this time, just
some maintenance on the roads and patching proposed in 2020.
Chair Doe gave the public one more opportunity to speak. There was none.
Chair Doe closed the public hearing. Chair Doe asked if the Commissioners
had any more questions or comments.
Mr. Klein made a motion to approve an amendment to the Development
Agreement for Park 88 approved by Ordinance No. 04-53 and the Annexation
Agreement approved by Ordinance 07-61 to accommodate future growth on
the subject site and to recommend approval of the rezoning from “SFR1”
Single-Family Residential to “PD-I” Planned Development Industrial and “PD-
C” Planned Development Commercial for approximately 102 acres per the
Amended and Restated Park 88 Development Agreement attached as Exhibit
A to the staff report, with PD-C zoning applying to the area within 400 feet of
the southerly right-of-way of East Lincoln Highway. Seconded by Ms. Barbe.

F. REPORTS
Principal Planner Olson mentioned the next Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting will be Wednesday, July 17th, and there is one public hearing. He stated
the public hearing will be for a rezoning to accommodate a video gaming
establishment at 1704 Sycamore Road. He also mentioned the City Council had
approved the rezoning and annexation of the ComEd substation site along
Pleasant Street at their June 24th meeting.
Principal Planner Olson reminded the Commission of the Zoning 101 seminar at
the Ogle County Courthouse on July 18th.
Relocation of City Hall – City Manager Bill Nicklas stated the City Council recently
approved a letter of intent to take control of the Park District owned Nehring
Building at Second Street and East Lincoln Highway at no cost and move the City
Hall there. He added this would occur sometime in the next six months. He stated
this should have no impact on the Planning and Zoning Commission as meetings
will be moved to the DeKalb Library. City Manager Nicklas noted the Library wants
to limit City meetings to just one night per week, which will be Mondays. He said
the Commission meetings will be moved to the first and third Mondays of the month
since the City Council meetings are the second and fourth Mondays. He said this
would start in 2020.
Mr. Klein asked about the logic of moving out of the current City Hall to the Nehring
Building. City Manager Nicklas stated there were pros and cons to everything. He
said the cons of staying in the current building included the age of the building
which was built in 1967 and the needed upgrades to the HVAC system, which are
expensive. He also noted accessibility is an issue and he would also like to put
the City government back in the heart of the downtown. He said the original City
Hall was next to the Nehring Building, and while the City is no longer the size of
government it used to be, the City has a growing and developing downtown. He
said he wants to immerse the City in the fabric of the downtown and take
advantage of the foot traffic to the new City Hall to improve business in the
downtown area. He also said they have done a study of the parking needs, and
there is adequate public parking around the Nehring Building to accommodate the
move.
Ms. Barbe wanted to know what will happen to the current City Hall building. City
Manager Nicklas stated the annex building (across Fourth Street from City Hall) is
currently on the market. He said the current building will not be on the market until
the City is closer to moving and said there has been interest in renting or taking
control of the building. He noted it was also possible to subdivide the property and
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 3, 2019
Page 6 of 6
sell it that way. Chair Doe stated comments on social media were not favorable to
the move, but she is personally in favor, and thinks the Nehring Building is
beautiful. She said she appreciates the willingness to immerse the City Hall in the
downtown. She said Sycamore has their City Hall in their downtown area as well.
City Manager Nicklas noted the Nehring Building is built well, structurally sound
and has real limestone. Mr. Maxwell stated he believes it makes good financial
sense and will improve foot traffic in the downtown area. City Manager Nicklas
stated government should be here to serve the public and the interior of the
building will be set up that way. He also said there will be some improvements in
the new building to accommodate the reuse.

I. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The applicant, Park 88 Group, LLC, is requesting approval of an amendment to the
development agreement for Park 88 approved by Ordinance No. 04-53 and the
annexation agreement approved by Ordinance 07-61 to accommodate future growth in
the Park 88 development. The Park 88 is approximately 570 acres in size and located
generally on the west side of Peace Road, south of E. Lincoln Highway and north of
Fairview Drive. The petitioner is also requesting that approximately 102 acres of
property (Orr Parcel) in the northeast portion of the development be rezoned from
“SFR1” Single-Family Residential to “PD-I” Planned Development Industrial and “PD-C”
Planned Development Commercial.
At the present time, Park 88 Group, LLC is the owner of the remaining undeveloped
parcels within Park 88, including the Orr Parcel. Park 88 Group, LLC is proposing to
amend and restate the original development agreement in its entirety to facilitate the
development of the remaining undeveloped lands within Park 88 as a modern
commercial and industrial property. The applicant proposes to update the standards
related to land use, setbacks, building height, interior roadway alignments, Peace Road
improvements, roadways costs and maintenance, building appearance, landscape
standards, signage, lighting, fences and pedestrian/bicycle paths. Previously developed
properties within Park 88 will remain governed by the provisions of the original
development agreement from 2004. There are no new buildings proposed with this
request, just amendments to the existing agreements to facilitate future development.
The development agreement includes the approval of a new Concept Plan for the area
including potential building pads, parking/loading areas and access points. Preliminary
and Final Plans for the individual undeveloped lots will require review and approval by
the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council
In order to facilitate the development of the undeveloped properties remaining within
Park 88 (in particular the Orr Parcel), the applicant is also requesting to amend the
terms of the 2007 Annexation Agreement (Orr Parcel). Accordingly, to be consistent
with the zoning of the developed parcels in Park 88, the Orr Parcel (which is currently
zoned SRF1) is requested to be rezoned to the PD-C and PD-I classifications. The PD-
C zoning is proposed to apply to the area within 400 feet of the southerly right-of-way of
E. Lincoln Highway, with the remaining being rezoned to PD-I.
A summary of the approval history of Park 88 is provided below:
Ord 04-53; Passed June 28, 2004: Authorized the Execution of a development
agreement with DeKalb Associates regarding Park 88 for property generally bounded by
the UP RR on the west, Fairview Dr. on the south, Peace Rd. on the east, and the north
property line of the existing Target Distribution Center. Established PD-I zoning for the
site and approved a Preliminary Development Plan and Plat for Park 88. Agreement did
not include property currently shown on the City’s zoning map as SFR1 (Orr Property).
The agreement approved the Target Distribution Center and included the extension of
Macom Dr.
Page 2 of 8
Ord 04-71 and Ord.04-72; Passed July 26, 2004: Approved the Final Plat for the lots
west and north of Macom Drive, but not all the way to Peace Road. Approved the Final
Plat and Final Development Plans for the Target Distribution Center.
Ord 07-39; Passed April 9, 2007: Approved the Final Plat and Final Plan for the first 3M
building along Fairview Dr.
Ord 07-61 and Ord. 07-62; Passed July 16, 2007: Authorized the execution of an
Annexation Agreement with Park 88, LLC and annexed property (Orr Property) located
west of Peace Road, south of E. Lincoln Highway and to the north of the existing Park
88 development.
Ord 10-40; Passed June 28, 2010: Approved the Final Plan and Plat for the second 3M
building.
Ord 2015-035; Passed July 27, 2015: Approved the Final Plan and Plat for the third 3M
building.
A brief summary of the changes between the 2004 and 2007 Ordinances and the
proposed development and annexation agreement is below:
Land Uses
The list of permitted uses was expanded and is more specific. The allowable uses are
more reflective with the current UDO list of uses. For the area of the site within 400 feet
of E. Lincoln Highway (to be rezoned PD-C), retail and service uses are added.
Bulk Regulations - Setbacks, Building Height
Establishes setback standards for buildings and parking lots from the ComEd right-of-way
(along the west side of Peace Road) that are more consistent with the setbacks in the
agreement from a street right-of-way. Maximum building height remains at 100 feet;
however, an amendment increases the height from 40 feet to 60 feet when additional
setbacks apply.
The maximum site coverage (75% - 90%) in the 2004 Ordinance is proposed to be
amended to 70%. The floor area ratio (FAR) will remain at 75%.
Interior Roadway Alignments
Potential future building and roadway layouts are better defined in the northeast portion
of the site, east of Target (Orr Parcel). An area of smaller lots and an internal public
roadway at the northwest corner of Peace Road and Fairview Drive is proposed for
removal. The area is to be replaced with one large building with private roadway access
points.
Page 3 of 8
Peace Road Improvements and Roadways Costs
The City has presently programmed the portion of Peace Road from I-88 to Illinois Route
38 (Lincoln Highway) for improvements at an estimated total cost of 10 million dollars and
it is presently included within a federal and state grant program that results in the provision
of eighty percent (80%) of the costs of designing and constructing the improvements from
grant funding, with a twenty percent (20%) local funding obligation. The owner has
agreed to be responsible for the payment of $750,000.00 for any local share of the cost
of designing and constructing this portion of Peace Road. The agreement also stipulates
the City will perform maintenance work on Macom Drive in 2020.
Although not mentioned specifically in the agreement, the City is working with ComEd on
obtaining an access easement across the ComEd right-of-way next to Peace Road so
adequate access can be provided to the northeast portion of the site (area east of Target).
Architectural Standards and Building Appearance
Proposed language establishes architectural guidelines with acceptable materials,
prohibited materials and compatibility between buildings. Removes private development
guidelines and Development Review Committee that was in the 2004 Ordinance.
Landscape Standards
Landscaping standards are being modified for easier understanding and to be more
consistent with the current UDO standards. Language is also included to ensure that
proper screening of semi/truck parking from adjacent roadways is obtained. Landscaping
details and cross section profiles are included as exhibits to agreement to provide clear
guidance on requirements.
Signage, Lighting and Fences
For signage, the language is proposed to be more in-line with the current UDO
standards and contains more specific language regarding allowable wall signage and
address features on buildings. Overall maximum wall sign sizes for non-retail and
service uses are proposed instead of maximum sizes based upon lineal feet of building
frontage.
Lighting standards were expanded to be “dark sky” compliant and to be more consistent
with the current UDO regulations. Maximum pole heights are proposed at 35 feet
compared to a 30-foot maximum in the UDO. Justification is warranted for higher poles
based on larger buildings and parking areas associated with typical warehouse and
distribution centers.
More specific language was added for fencing including allowing fencing up to eight feet
Page 4 of 8
in height in the front yards if 10 feet away from the right-of-way. Fences must also have
a “wrought iron look” with powder coated black color. Fencing in the side and rear yards
will be allowed up to eight feet in height with a “wrought iron look” or black vinyl coated
chain-link fences. Due to the large outdoor parking areas and security needs of potential
users of Park 88, the proposed standards are justified.
Pedestrian/Bicycle Paths
The 2004 agreement waived the requirement for sidewalks along Fairview Drive and
Peace Road provided that a 10 foot wide path was constructed. For the other streets, a
sidewalk or path on one side of the street was approved. A sidewalk was constructed
along the north and west sides of Macom Dr. The amended agreement requires the owner
to make a on-time contribution to the City of $120,000 for a public bike path. It is
anticiapted the City will construct a path on the north side of Fairview Dr. to allow for the
safe movement of employees who walk or ride bikes to the various employers along the
roadway.
III. STANDARDS OF REZONING (Orr Parcel – 102 Acres)
1. The proposed rezoning conforms to the Comprehensive Plan, or conditions
have changed to warrant the need for different types of land uses in that area. The
proposed rezoning is appropriate considering the length of time the property has
been vacant, as originally zoned, and taking into account the surrounding areas
trend in development.
The 2005 Comprehensive Plan recommends commercial uses on the northern portion of
the “Orr” site fronting on E. Lincoln Highway and Light Industrial and Office/Research
uses for the remainder of the site. The trend of development in the area over the last few
years has been commercial including the construction of the 978,000 sq. ft. 3M
Distribution Center and a Casey’s General Store at the northwest corner of Peace Road
and E. Lincoln Highway. The rezoning of the 102 acre “Orr Property” to the PD-I and PD-
C zoning districts meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the
trend of development in the area.
2. The proposed rezoning conforms to the intent and purpose of the Unified
Development Ordinance.
Re-zoning of the subject site to the PD-I and PD-C Districts will allow the project to comply
with the regulations of the UDO except as stated in the development agreement. The
“PD-C” and “PD-I” zoning districts, as provided under the City of DeKalb’s Unified
Development Ordinance, will be the most appropriate zoning classifications for the
remaining undeveloped properties within Park 88.
3. The proposed rezoning will not have a significantly detrimental effect on the
long-range development of adjacent properties or adjacent land uses.
Page 5 of 8
Areas to the north, west and south are mostly developed. The proposed zoning and land
uses are consistent with and compatible with the surrounding area and the
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning to PD-I and PD-C should not have a
detrimental effect on the adjacent properties or land uses.
4. The proposed rezoning constitutes an expansion of an existing zoning
district that, due to the lack of undeveloped land, can no longer meet the demand
for the intended land uses.
The subject property is proposed for “PD-C” Planned Development - Commercial and
“PD-I” Planned Development – Industrial zoning. The “PD-C” and “PD-I” district
designations will allow uses on the site that will be compatible with the surrounding area.
In addition, the rezoning will enhance the Park 88 area with higher standards of design
than other adjacent properties and will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
recommendations.
5. Adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided.
Existing utilities already serve the site or will be extended to meet the needs of future
development.
IV. STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
General Standards: The approval of the Development Plan may provide for such
exceptions from the regulations associated with traditional zoning districts as may be
necessary or desirable to achieve the objectives of the proposed planned development.
However, such exceptions shall consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the
standards contained in this Section and have been specifically requested in the
application for a planned development; and further, that no planned development shall be
allowed which would result in:
1. Inadequate or unsafe access to the planned development;
The subject site abuts Peace Road and will have access to Macom Drive, which connects
to Fairview Drive and Peace Road (signalized intersection).
2. Traffic volumes exceeding the anticipated capacity of the proposed major
street network in the vicinity;
Provisions are included in the development agreement to provide improvements along
Peace Road and Macom Drive to accommodate future growth.
3. An undue burden on public parks, recreation areas, schools, fire and police
protection and other public facilities which serve or are proposed to serve the
planned development;
Page 6 of 8
The Planned Development designation will not have any undue impact on public parks,
recreation areas, schools, fire and police protection or other public facilities. The zoning
of the site to PD-I and PD-C will have a positive impact on these public facilities due to
the increased property taxes that will be generated.
4. A development which will be incompatible with the intent and purposes of
this Ordinance;
The applicant is requesting PD-I and PD-C zoning, which allows the City to approve
regulations that will control the zoning, development and maintenance, operations and
other property improvement related issues.
5. Detrimental impact on surrounding area including, but not limited to, visual
pollution;
The surrounding area is mostly developed to the west, north and south. The proposed
zoning and land uses are consistent and compatible with the surrounding area and
Comprehensive Plan. The proposed rezoning should not have a detrimental effect on the
adjacent properties or land uses. Development restrictions will be placed on the site to
ensure there is no detrimental effect to surrounding areas.
V. Citizen Comments
The City received a Citizen Response Form from Gary Tadd representing 407 Industrial
Drive (Pinkston-Tadd Roofing Services) indicating their support for the rezoning and
amendments (copy provided in packet). We also received a Citizen Response Form from
Panduit (1700 E. Fairview Dr.) containing some comments/questions regarding the
petition. Staff responded to the questions posed and a copy is provided in the
Commissioner’s packet.
VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes that Park 88 Group LLC’s proposed use of the remaining undeveloped
properties within Park 88 will be compatible with and will further the planning objectives
of the City and the redevelopment of those properties will be of benefit to the community,
will permit orderly growth, increase the tax base, and will promote and enhance the
general welfare of the City and its residents.
Sample Motion:
Based upon the submitted petition and testimony presented, I move that the Planning and
Zoning Commission forward its findings of fact and recommend to the City Council
approval of an amendment to the development agreement for Park 88 approved by
Ordinance No. 04-53 and the annexation agreement approved by Ordinance 07-61 to
accommodate future growth on the subject site and to recommend approval of the
rezoning from “SFR1” Single-Family Residential to “PD-I” Planned Development

way of E. Lincoln Highway.

RECITALS
The Parties acknowledge that the statements and representations contained in the recitals,
both inclusive of the foregoing recitals are true and accurate and incorporate such recitals into this
Agreement as if fully set forth in this Article I.
ARTICLE II
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT
A. Amendment and Restatement of Original Agreement: This Agreement is an
amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement in its entirety with respect to the Owner
Properties only. The Original Agreement is terminated and will be of no further force or effect
regarding the Owner Properties.
B. Original Entitlements: Contemporaneous Approvals: The Property was previously
annexed to the City. The Parties acknowledge that at the time of the Original Agreement and
thereafter, there were zoning approvals, plan approvals, and related approvals granted to the
Property which may or may not have complied with the then-applicable requirements (hereafter,
the “Original Entitlements”). At the present date, the Parties acknowledge that there is this
Agreement, the ordinances passing this Agreement, the Development Standards approved
herewith, the Exhibits attached hereto (hereafter, the “Contemporaneous Approvals”). The
Parties expressly agree and acknowledge that the Contemporaneous Approvals shall supersede the
Original Entitlements regarding the Owner Properties, shall supersede the Original Agreement
regarding the Owner Properties, and shall govern the future development of the Owner Properties.
The Parties also acknowledge that this Agreement shall affirm and ratify the Original Entitlements
and all previous approvals granted by the City for the Previously Developed Properties, even to
the extent that they may be inconsistent with the Contemporaneous Approvals. Upon approval of
this Agreement, the Corporate Authorities shall proceed, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, to rezone the Owner Properties in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. All ordinances, plats, affidavits and other documents necessary to accomplish said
rezoning and approvals contemplated by this Agreement shall be recorded by the City at Owner's
expense. Owner shall hereafter develop the Owner Properties in accordance with this Agreement
and shall not petition to disconnect any portion or all of said Owner Properties from the City
hereafter.
C. Conveyance of Public Use Site: Owner shall convey to the City of DeKalb by general
warranty deed, with clear title free of any exceptions or liens that are not reasonably acceptable to
the City, the municipal site described in Section 4.03A of the Original Agreement, which site is
legally described on Exhibit D hereto (“Public Use Site”). That conveyance will occur within
ninety (90) days of the date of approval of this Agreement and will satisfy the obligations of the
Developer under Section 4.03A of the Original Agreement. Owner represents and warrants to the
City that Owner has no actual knowledge of any environmental contamination on the Public Use
Site.
Page 4 of 30
D. Future Development of Previously Developed Properties: The Parties agree and
acknowledge that the Previously Developed Properties have been improved and sold to third
parties, which third parties are not signatories to this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement
shall not serve to modify or amend any provision of the Original Agreement as relating to the
Previously Developed Properties or to bind or otherwise encumber the Previously Developed
Properties, nor shall it serve to amend any previously granted approvals relating to such properties.
In the event that any party seeks to undertake future development of one or more of the Previously
Developed Properties, such party may either undertake such development pursuant to the Original
Agreement and standards contained therein, or may request that the City entertain an amendment
to the Original Agreement as pertaining to said parcel or parcels.
E. CCR’s: The City hereby approves that certain Declaration of Protective Covenants for
Park 88 Business Park recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder on September 24, 2004 as
Document No. 2004019754 (“CCR’s”) and waives the requirement in the Original Agreement
that the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions attached to the Original Agreement
as Exhibit D be recorded against the Property. Owner will cause the CCR’s to encumber any
portion of the Owner Properties not presently encumbered by the CCR’s by executing a
Supplemental Declaration of Protective Covenants for Park 88 Business Park in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J and will cause that document to be recorded with the DeKalb County, Illinois
Recorder, at Owner’s expense, concurrently with the recording of this Agreement with the DeKalb
County, Illinois Recorder. The CCRs provided for the creation of a property owners’ association
(“Owners Association”), which shall, after the amendment of the CCR’s referred to above,
include the current or future owners of the Owner Properties. Owner shall also take such steps as
shall be reasonably necessary to cause fee title to the parcel identified as PIN 08-25-100-022 to be
conveyed to the Owners Association.
ARTICLE III
ZONING OF THE PROPERTY
A. Default Zoning. The Corporate Authority shall enact such ordinances as are necessary to
rezone the Owner Properties to “PD-C PD-I” Planned Development-Commercial, in accordance
with the Development Standards and the terms of this Agreement. The Development Standards
shall serve as the basis of development for the Owner Properties, and all future development of
the Owner Properties shall be in conformity with the Development Standards and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. No residential housing or occupancy shall be permitted anywhere
on the Owner Properties.
B. “PD-C / PD-I” Provisions. It is herein agreed that except as provided below, the PD-I
zoning, which shall apply to the entirety of the Owner Properties, shall conform to the
Development Standards with regard to permitted, prohibited and special uses. Any use not
specifically approved therein as a Permitted or Special Use shall be a Prohibited Use. Parking,
Outdoor Storage, Setbacks and related zoning considerations shall be governed by the
Development Standards.
1. Lincoln Highway Frontage: With regard to that portion of the Owner Properties
which are within four hundred feet of the southerly right of way of Lincoln
Page 5 of 30
Highway (hereafter, the “Lincoln Highway Frontage”), the following zoning and
use restrictions shall apply:
a. Lincoln Highway Frontage Needed for Development of Lot 20: The Parties
acknowledge that between the Commonwealth Edison Right of Way
adjacent to the westerly right of way of Peace Road (hereafter, the
“COMED ROW”) and the portion of the Previously Developed Properties
currently in use as a Target Distribution Center, a portion of the Owner
Properties is comprised of a large parcel identified as Lot 20 on the Concept
Plan attached hereto as Exhibit F (“Lot 20”). In the event that Owner is
able to demonstrate to the City’s reasonable satisfaction that the Lincoln
Highway Frontage should be used in connection with the development of
Lot 20 or any portion thereof (for example, for stormwater detention,
signage/monumentation, parking or landscape buffer), then, after
reasonable approval by the City, the Lincoln Highway Frontage may be
utilized for any such purpose and Owner shall provide a proposed
development plan for said areas including enhanced landscaping and
signage amenities, in form and content reasonably acceptable to the City.
b. Lincoln Highway Frontage Not Needed for Development of Lot 20: In the
event that the Lincoln Highway Frontage will not be used in connection
with the development of Lot 20 or any portion thereof (for example, for
stormwater detention, signage/monumentation, parking or landscape
buffer), as determined under subsection III(B)(1)(a) above, then Owner
shall locate its drainage and stormwater detention in such a fashion as to
preserve the Lincoln Highway Frontage for development with commercial
uses in accordance with the permitted, special and prohibited uses afforded
under the PD-C zoning designation contemplated herein.
c. Zoning: The Lincoln Highway Frontage shall be zoned PD-C and shall
have the permitted, special and prohibited uses and development restrictions
as contemplated by the Development Standards. The balance of the Owner
Properties (other than the Lincoln Highway Frontage) shall be zoned PD-I
and shall be subject to the Permitted Land Uses described under Section
II(A) of the Development Standards.
C. Development Standards
1. Compliance with Development Standards: The Owner Properties shall be
developed in a fashion consistent with the Development Standards. At the time of
submission of any preliminary or final plat or plans or the submission of any site
plan contemplating the construction of a structure, or at the time of application for
any building permit that does not require the separate approval of final plats or
plans, Owner shall submit building elevations to demonstrate compliance with the
Development Standards. Prior to issuance of building permits, such elevations
shall be modified to comply with the Development Standards. Provided that the
Page 6 of 30
elevations comply with the Development Standards, the City shall not unreasonably
condition or withhold approval. The Community Development Director shall be
authorized to provide such approval or may, at her discretion, refer the approval to
the City Council for consideration.
2. Signage: Any permanent signs of any form on the Owner Properties shall hereafter
be installed only in strict compliance with the applicable provisions of the
Development Standards. Said signage may be installed and maintained for the
period that this PD-C / PD-I zoning designation remains effective for the Property.
a. Temporary Signage: Any marketing signs, off-site signage, temporary signs
or other non-permanent signs shall be permitted only as authorized under
the then-current UDO.
3. Fencing and Landscaping: All fencing and landscaping installed hereafter on the
Owner Properties shall conform to the requirements outlined in the Development
Standards, and fences shall be installed where required by said Development
Standards.
4. Stormwater Detention: Subject to the terms of this Agreement, any future
development of the Owner Properties shall be required to comply with the then-
current and applicable stormwater-related standards of the City, including but not
limited to stormwater discharge rate standards. Stormwater detention basins
constructed on the Owner Properties will be maintained in substantial accordance
with the standards described on Exhibit I hereto.
D. Density of the Project: Individual lots shall be allowed site coverage (as defined in Article
3 of the UDO) of up to seventy percent (70%). The Floor Area Ratio (as defined in the UDO) shall
not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) for any individual lot containing a single-story building.
Any future development of the Owner Properties contemplating greater density or site coverage
shall require an amendment of this Agreement and the PD-I / PD-C zoning on terms and conditions
mutually acceptable to the Parties.
E. City Right of Entry Under CCR’s: The rights of the City to enter portions of the Owner
Properties under Section 4.13 or Section 7.4 of the CCR’s, including without limitation, those
provisions that permit the City to enter such areas and perform maintenance thereon, will not be
amended without the City’s prior written consent.
F. Special Service Area: Owner acknowledges that a portion of the Owner Properties are
currently subject to Park 88 Special Service Area (City of DeKalb SSA No. 8 as described by
Ordinance 04-78 recorded October 6, 2004 as Document No. 2004020709). Owner and its
respective successors, assignees and grantees, shall not object to and agree to cooperate with the
City in establishing a special service area (“SSA”) for areas of the Owner Properties which are not
currently subject to an appropriate backup SSA. Such an SSA will provide the City with a source
of revenue for maintaining, repairing, reconstructing or replacing the storm water drainage system,
detention and retention areas, common areas, special management areas or other improvements
Page 7 of 30
located on the Owner Properties, should the Owners Association fail to perform its responsibility
in accordance with City Codes, other applicable requirements of law, or pursuant to the CCR’s.
Owner and Owner’s successors or assigns, in interest or otherwise, agree to and do hereby waive
any and all protests, objections and/or rights to petition for disconnection regarding any such SSA.
The SSA is for the exclusive purpose of creating a revenue source for the City for said
maintenance, and is not intended and shall not be construed to create an obligation of the City to
provide such maintenance. The City agrees that it will only levy against said SSA in the instance
that, after notice and opportunity to correct, the Owners Association has failed to fulfill the
obligations stated herein in accordance with the terms of the CCR’s.
G. Excavation and Grading
1. At-Risk Work: Owner shall have the right, prior to obtaining approval of final
engineering drawings and prior to approval of a Final Development Plan of any
phase of the Owner Properties, to undertake excavation, preliminary grading work,
filling and soil stockpiling on the Owner Properties in preparation for the
development of the Owner Properties, upon reasonable approval of preliminary
engineering, grading, soil erosion and sedimentation control plans by the
Community Development Director, and the posting of security in form required by
City codes and ordinances (collectively, “City Code”), in an amount not less than
120% of the engineer’s estimate of probable cost of such work. All permits related
to IEPA NPDES Construction Activities will be procured prior to the start of any
work. Such work shall be undertaken at Owner’s sole risk and without injury to the
property of surrounding property owners. Authorization for at-risk work shall not
constitute approval of the development proposed therein.
2. IEPA Violations: The Parties agree that, to the best of their knowledge, as of the
date of this Agreement there are no pending IEPA investigations of or
environmental contamination issues with the Owner Properties. Owner shall
immediately notify the City of any future written notices of environmental
contamination regarding any portion of the Owner Properties which are received
by Owner from any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Owner
Properties prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for that portion of the
Owner Properties.
3. Truck Staging, Lane Closure: During any period of time after the issuance of
permits for excavation, preliminary grading work, filling or soil stockpiling
regarding any portion of the Owner Properties but before the issuance of a final
certificate of occupancy for that portion of the Owner Properties (the
“Construction Period”), (a) Owner shall provide adequate space on the Owner
Properties at all times for staging of trucks on the property, and construction
deliveries or pickups shall not be permitted to queue on any public street, and (b)
Owner shall provide a designated on-site location for stockpiling of construction
materials that permits trucks to load and unload entirely on the Owner Properties,
without obstructing the flow of traffic on any public street or sidewalk. In the event
that Owner’s construction plans require the temporary closure of any public street
Page 8 of 30
or sidewalk, prior to such closure, Owner shall submit a traffic control plan to the
Community Development Director, shall modify such plan to be reasonably
acceptable to the Community Development Director in accordance with the
requirements of City Code, and shall thereafter abide by such plan in all material
respects. Owner shall not engage in any truck staging or lane closure on public
rights-of-way outside of the Construction Period without the City’s prior approval,
not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned.
4. Stockpiles: Owner will cause the existing stockpile of dirt and fill located on Lot
13 (as Lot 13 is identified on the Concept Plan attached hereto as Exhibit F) (“Lot
13”) to be removed within twelve (12) months after the date of execution and
delivery of this Agreement by both Owner and the City. The location of any
stockpiles of dirt, fill or other similar materials on the Owner Properties (other than
the existing stockpile referred to above) will be determined during the site plan
approval process for a particular project. The configuration and location of such
stockpiles shall be required to be approved through City approval of preliminary or
final engineering plans prior to their establishment, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or conditioned. Owner will provide security to the City in
accordance with Section III.H to ensure removal of such stockpile in accordance
with the requirements of this Section. All stockpiles shall be maintained with
sedimentation control in accordance with applicable laws, and with weed control
in accordance with City Code, while in place. All such stockpiles, other than
stockpiles of clay reasonably necessary for future development of the Owner
Properties, shall be removed from the Owner Properties within thirty-six (36)
months after the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the project to
which they relate. Stockpiles of clay reasonably necessary for future development
of the Owner Properties may remain beyond such thirty-six (36) month period,
subject to the maintenance requirements of this section.
5. Construction Trailers; Marketing Trailers, Advertising Trailers: Prior to
locating any construction or marketing trailer on-site, Owner shall provide the City
with a plan showing the location of any proposed construction or marketing trailer
and any utility connections for said trailer. No construction or marketing trailer
shall be located on the Owner Properties prior to approval of a plan showing the
proposed location, access route, utility services and parking facilities for the
proposed trailers by the Community Development Director (such approval not to
be unreasonably conditioned or withheld), nor prior to obtaining any required
permits for the trailer or utility services for said trailer. Nothing in this Agreement
will prohibit Owner from maintaining one marketing trailer served by power at the
Owner Properties at a location designated by Owner and approved by the City
(which approval will not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld). Owner will
provide security to the City in accordance with Section III.H to ensure removal of
any construction or marketing trailers and their related improvements in accordance
with the requirements of this Section. The existing marketing trailer on Lot 20 will
be relocated to another site on the Owner Properties prior to the issuance of a
temporary certificate of occupancy of a building on Lot 20. The existing
Page 9 of 30
advertising trailer located on Lot 20 will be removed prior to the issuance of a
temporary certificate of occupancy of a building on Lot 20 and will not be replaced.
All marketing trailers on the Owner Properties shall be removed within three (3)
months of the date of issuance of a building permit for the last developable lot in
the Owner Properties. All construction trailers on the Owner Properties shall be
removed within three (3) months of the date of issuance of a final certificate of
occupancy for the lot to which they relate.
H. Security for Public Improvements
Security to be provided by Owner for the completion of the public improvements
benefitting the Owner Properties or related public off-site improvements benefitting the Owner
Properties, including but not limited to the curbing, striping, utility connections, drainage
improvements and related improvements within the public right of way shall be provided prior to
the commencement of construction and shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and applicable City ordinances, as modified by this Agreement. Owner shall provide such security
to the City in the form of cash, irrevocable letters of credit or performance bonds (“Completion
Guaranty”). Bonds and letters of credit shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the City
Attorney and be issued by an entity reasonably acceptable to the City Manager from a bank or
financial institution located in the United States of America. Any bonds required under City Code
or this Agreement shall be from a company licensed to do business in the State of Illinois. Any
letters of credit required under City Code or this Agreement shall be from a financial institution
reasonably acceptable to the City Manager, and Owner shall provide such information or
documentation as to the status of the proposed financial institution as the City Manager shall
reasonably require, to demonstrate its creditworthiness and stability. The amount of a Completion
Guaranty posted with the City shall at all times equal one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the
cost of completing required public improvements. The City Council shall authorize the reduction
of such Completion Guaranty from time to time, but no more than once every one hundred and
eighty (180) days, as related offsite work or public improvements within the Owner Properties are
completed and reasonably approved by the Community Development Director and prior to their
acceptance of such improvements by the City. Owner will also be required to provide a
Completion Guaranty to the City in accordance with this paragraph, to secure Owner’s obligation
to remove stockpiles of dirt, fill or other similar materials under Section III.G.4 and removal of
trailers under Section III.G.5 above. In the event that Owner determines to undertake at-risk work
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Owner shall provide Security in accordance with
the requirements of this Section prior to initiating such work. Where any obligation of this
Agreement contemplates the provision of security for a multi-year period (e.g. trailer security under
Section III.G.5 above), Owner shall provide security with a minimum term equal to or longer than
the applicable period being secured, and shall maintain such security with a term extending to or
beyond the applicable period,
1. Acceptance of Public Improvements and Maintenance Bond for Public
Improvements: Upon completion of public improvements and acceptance by the
City, Owner shall provide a signed bill of sale for any items of personal property to
be transferred to the City, and shall execute all documentation reasonably required
to denote acceptance and transfer of ownership, warranties, and similar interests.
Page 10 of 30
Prior to the acceptance of the streets by the City, the streets shall be in a condition
acceptable to the City in accordance with the requirements of the UDO and
completed with the final lift of asphalt and any other required final improvements,
and all punchlist items previously identified by the City shall be satisfied. Upon
acceptance of any public improvement by the City in accordance with this
Agreement, Owner shall be entitled to a corresponding release or reduction of any
Completion Guaranty. For a 12 month period following acceptance of any public
improvement, Owner shall guarantee the workmanship of any public improvements
constructed, and shall be responsible for the performance of any repairs or
remediation required on such public improvements, as reasonably determined by
the Community Development Director, to return them to a condition in which they
would be appropriate for initial acceptance by the City, including the repair of any
ordinary wear and tear on the aforesaid improvements or the repair of any broken
or damaged improvements. To secure the performance of this obligation, Owner
shall provide a maintenance bond which shall remain in place for a 12 month period
from date of acceptance by the City. Said maintenance bond shall be equivalent to
five percent (5%) of the value of the improvement constructed, and shall be in the
form of a cash escrow, letter of credit, bond or other security acceptable in form and
content to the City. Owner shall also be responsible for the repair of damage to any
public improvement caused through the intentional or negligent conduct of Owner,
its contractors, subcontractors, agents, successors and assignees, and for the repair
of any design or construction defect in any public improvement that is identified
prior to or during the 12 month maintenance period (e.g. sagging sewer, sinkhole in
roadway, etc.).
I. Plan Review and Construction Supervision: Owner shall establish an escrow account
with the City pursuant to a professional fee reimbursement agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit E, and shall be responsible for the payment of all reasonable third party
planning and civil engineering fees incurred by the City with respect to the plan review, inspection
or construction observation associated with the Property. Owner shall maintain a minimum
balance in said escrow account of not less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) until all initial
development on the Owner Properties is completed.
J. Plat and Plan Approval: Any development on the Owner Properties shall be subject to
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Development Standards attached hereto and
applicable City Code. In the event of a conflict between the Development Standards, this
Agreement, and City Code, this Agreement shall prevail over the Development Standards and the
City Code, and the Development Standards shall prevail over City Code. The City reserves review
and approval of all preliminary and final plats, stormwater and engineering plans, landscaping
plans, proposed architectural designs, elevations, renderings or plans, mass grading plans, and all
related development or design plans which the City shall seek review and approval of during the
time of development, proposal of concept plans, preliminary or final plat review, building permit
application, or any other aspect of site development, which approval shall not be unreasonably
conditioned or withheld provided that the submittal is in compliance with this Agreement and
applicable provisions of the City Code.
Page 11 of 30
1. Review Process for Development: The City agrees that it shall take all reasonable
steps possible to ensure that any areas of the Owner Properties undergo a streamlined
review process. In order to ensure such streamlined review process, Owner agrees that it
shall comply with the professional fee reimbursement obligation described in subsection
(I) above.
a. Concept Plans / Staff Review Only: The City hereby approves the Concept
Plan attached hereto as Exhibit F (“Concept Plan”) as a conceptual site
development plan with the understanding and agreement that, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as Owner submits preliminary
and final plans and plats in general conformance with the Concept Plan, such plans
and plats shall be approved by the City in the ordinary course of the development
plan review procedure; provided, however, it is understood that Owner may in the
course of development of the Owner Properties make changes to the Concept Plan
at its own risk including, without limitation, changes in lot configuration and size,
buildings and signs, and provisions for certain amenities so long as such changes
do not conflict with a specific provision contained elsewhere in this Agreement or
affect the essential character of the proposed development. Owner may submit
changes to the Concept Plan for review and consideration by City Staff. Such
review shall be performed at Owner’s request and shall be utilized to provide
preliminary review comments regarding conformity with the Development
Standards. However, any final staff comments shall be reserved pending the
submission of Preliminary Plans or Final Plans that are submitted for formal
approval. No Owner initiated changes to the Concept Plan shall be deemed
approved by the City until the Preliminary Plans or Final Plans relating to the area
in question have been approved by the City.
b. Preliminary Plans: Owner may submit Preliminary Plans for approval.
Preliminary Plans shall be subject to a staff review and following such review and
completion of requested revisions, shall be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for review and recommendation. Such Planning and Zoning
Commission review and recommendation shall be completed at a public meeting,
but shall not require the conduct of a public hearing. Following the issuance of a
written recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the preliminary
plans and the recommendation shall be forwarded to the City Council for review
and approval, rejection, or conditional approval subject to the impositions of such
conditions and restrictions as the City Council shall determine to be appropriate. If
Owner elects to submit Preliminary Plans, all reasonable comments and conditions
imposed by the City Council in accordance with City Code shall be addressed prior
to the submittal of Final Plans. If Preliminary Plans are approved, the City shall
approve any Final Plans that are submitted in conformance therewith. Preliminary
Plans shall include, at minimum, the following documents:
1) An ALTA survey for the portion of the Owner Properties at issue;
2) A preliminary plat of subdivision;
3) Preliminary engineering plans (including lighting and photometric
Page 12 of 30
plans, topographical survey, proposed grading, and details of any
proposed public improvements, water mains/services, sewer
mains/services, and stormwater conveyance or detention
improvements);
4) A site plan, fully dimensionalized, inclusive of setbacks and
improvements;
5) Preliminary landscaping plans, including on-site and adjoining
right-of-way landscaping as required by the Development
Standards;
6) Conceptual building elevations;
7) To the extend required under Section IV.B.3, an updated traffic
study addressing such portion of the Owner Properties as is
proposed to be developed;
8) Any off-site drainage, utility or traffic improvements necessary to
facilitate the proposed development;
9) Any other documents required under the UDO or other applicable
laws, ordinances or regulations (e.g. FAA regulations, IDNR
regulations, etc.); and
10) Such other documents as shall be reasonably requested by the
Community Development Director.
c. Final Plans: Owner may submit Final Plans following the review of
Concept and/or Preliminary Plans (in which case the Final Plans shall reflect
modifications consistent with all comments, conditions and approvals previously
provided), or may elect to submit Final Plans without having previously submitted
Preliminary Plans, in the event that expedited review and approval is necessary. In
either case, Final Plans shall be reviewed utilizing the same mechanism as
Preliminary Plans (i.e. staff review, Planning and Zoning Commission
recommendation at a public meeting, and City Council approval, conditional
approval or rejection). In the event that any Final Plan is approved subject to any
condition requiring revision, Owner shall submit revised Final Plans as required.
The Community Development Director is thereafter authorized to review and to
approve the revised Final Plans, if revised in conformity with the applicable
requirements or conditions. In the event that the Community Development Director
does not conclude that the Final Plans have been revised as required, the
Community Development Director shall reject such plans. If Owner wishes to
proceed with development of the rejected Final Plans at such time, Owner shall
resubmit the Final Plans and they shall be subject to a new review process and for
approval or rejection by the City Council. All final plats shall have signature
blocks included in form and content reasonably acceptable to the Community
Development Director. Once approved, Final Plans shall be valid for a period of
thirty-six (36) months. In the event that Owner fails to develop the subject lots
within that period, Final Plans shall be re-submitted for review and approval prior
to construction.
d. Site Plans: In the case of any portion of the Owner Properties that has a
Page 13 of 30
previously approved Final Plan that Owner intends to build in compliance with, and
which is served by existing public and private utilities including water, sewer, storm
sewer, stormwater detention and similar facilities, Owner may submit a Site Plan
for review and approval. In the event that staff review of the Site Plan concludes
that the Site Plan meets all applicable standards and is in accordance with a
previously approved Final Plan, the Site Plan may be approved at the staff level
without requirement of consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission or
City Council.
e. Buildings on Platted Lot: One or more principal buildings may be placed
upon any platted lot without any requirement of subdivision or resubdivision;
provided that the entire affected platted lot is owned by the same owner or owners.
Separation and conveyance of one building on such a platted lot to a separate owner
is allowed only if authorized by the City as part of a lawful subdivision process
after confirming that the separate lots conform individually to City Codes and the
terms of this Agreement, and provide for adequate cross-access easements and
common area maintenance.
2. Overlay Zoning District: The Parties acknowledge that the entirety of the Owner
Properties shall have overlay zoning as contemplated above, and thus that configuration or
reconfiguration of portions or the entirety of the Owner Properties with varying uses which
are permissible under this Agreement shall not require a rezoning. Accordingly, following
the initial rezoning of the Owner Properties, use of the Owner Properties in accordance
with this Agreement and the overlay PD-C / PD-I zoning imposed hereunder shall not
require a public hearing or the other statutory processes associated with a rezoning.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement relating to commercial
uses being required on the Lincoln Highway Frontage shall remain in full force and effect.
3. Phasing of Development: The Owner Properties may be developed in one or more
phases. Such phases shall be configured in such a manner that each such phase shall be
served by all utilities, including adequate service capacity and looping within that particular
phase (and contained solely within the Property). Owner shall provide not less than one
point of access, comprised of a full access point to a public road, for each phase, unless
waived by the City. To the extent that roadway and utility improvements may be developed
or installed in phases, the City shall inspect and accept the same on a phase by phase basis
provided that such improvements are sufficient to service the phase developed on a stand
alone basis, as reasonably determined by the Community Development Director. Each
phase shall be required to adhere to all applicable provisions of this Agreement.
K. Rezoning of Property: The Parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement, the Owner
Properties shall not be rezoned to any zoning other than that imposed under this Agreement without
the approval of the City and Owner, with such rezoning requiring consent from the City in the sole
and absolute discretion of the City and the agreement of Owner to an amendment of this Agreement
on terms and conditions acceptable to Owner, and further agree that the approvals described in this
Agreement are based upon Owner and Owner’s agreement with the zoning imposed under this
Page 14 of 30
Agreement; any amendment of said zoning shall require an amendment to this Agreement, on
terms and conditions acceptable to the Parties.
L. Building Permits: The City shall issue building permits for which Owner applies within
twenty-one (21) days of the City’s receipt of the last of the documents required by the UDO, this
Agreement (such as final plat and plan approval) or the City Code to support such application. If
the application is denied, the City shall provide the applicant with a written statement specifying
the reasons for denial of the application and a list of additional materials and information required
to obtain approval, including specifications of the requirements of law which the application or
supporting documents fail to meet. An applicant may apply for building permits for portions of
the Owner Properties prior to the availability of storm sewer and sanitary sewer service to such
portion of the Owner Properties, provided that applicant installs those minimum life safety
improvements as identified and required by the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no temporary
occupancy permits shall be issued for such portions of the Owner Properties until the availability
and connection of such utilities is demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the City.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the City agrees to issue necessary
permits to the applicant, upon application by the applicant, prior to applicant’s submission of plans
for any entire building to allow (i) grading or the installation of drainage and utility facilities on
the Owner Properties, provided that the applicant submits a mass grading plan which complies
with applicable City Code, and (ii) construction of building foundations, provided the applicant
submits exterior enclosure drawings and foundation drawings which comply with applicable City
Code; provided, however, that the issuance of any such permits shall not authorize nor be construed
to authorize or to permit the construction of any portion of a building or an improvement, the plans
for which have not been reviewed and approved by the City and all such construction shall be at
Owner’s sole risk, it being acknowledged that until approval by the City, the plans for the entire
building (inclusive of work that was previously permitted and/or installed) may require revision.
ARTICLE IV
INFRASTRUCTURE
A. Water Mains and Potable Water Supply
1. City Water Supply: The City shall assist Owner in obtaining all required
permission to have access to any City water mains, at Owner’s sole expense.
Provided that there remains adequate pressure and flow at the time of proposed
connection, Owner shall have the right to connect to and use such system and mains
upon payment of those capital, tap-on and user fees required by the then-current
City ordinance or resolution. Tap-on / connection and capital fees shall otherwise
be due on a unit by unit basis at the time of building permit application in
accordance with the requirements established by then-current City Code. Said fees
may be changed by the City from time to time in the City’s sole and absolute
discretion, and Owner agrees to pay the amount as required by the City at the time
such payment is due as long as such amount is payable by similarly situated owners
generally and is not being applied on a discriminatory basis. Owner has verified
that there is current volume and pressure available in the water mains to service the
Page 15 of 30
Owner Properties, as of the date of this Agreement, for the potable water and fire
suppression needs of the Owner Properties. Owner shall be responsible for
constructing all on-site and off-site improvements necessary to connect to the
Owner Properties and any development on the Owner Properties to the presently
existing water mains and potable water supply of the City, in the fashion and
orientation contemplated by the then-approved Final Plans. Owner shall be
exclusively responsible for the payment of all costs, expenses and charges
associated with the design, construction and permitting of such improvements,
including but not limited to any security required under this Agreement or
applicable law, any permits required by the City, the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency, the Illinois Department of Transportation, or any other agency
having jurisdiction.
B. Streets, Access and Public Rights of Way
1. ROW Dedications: Relative to the Owner Properties, all right-of-way dedications
shall be made at the time of Final Plat and shall conform to the widths, dimensions
and amounts as approved in the Final Plans. The roadway specifications for the
Owner Properties shall be in accordance with the Development Standards or, if not
identified therein, in accordance with the requirements of the UDO and the
approvals of the City Council.
2. Road Improvements: Owner shall be responsible for the construction of all on-
site public and private road improvements reflected on any approved Final Plans,
and for the construction of those off-site public road improvements reflected on any
approved Final Plans.
3. Traffic Controls:
a. New Traffic Study. To the extent that proposed development of the Owner
Properties is consistent with the underlying assumptions of that certain traffic study
commissioned by the City through Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to evaluate
traffic operation along Peace Road and dated June 14, 2016, which traffic study is
the subject of an independent review by Sam Schwartz Consulting, L.L.C. dated
June 16, 2016 (“Existing Traffic Study”), no new traffic study or further update
of the Existing Traffic Study will be required. To the extent that proposed
development of the Owner Properties exceeds or is materially different from the
underlying assumptions of the Existing Traffic Study or contemplates an additional
access point to Peace Road at the Peace Road Intersection (defined below) for the
benefit of that development, then as a component of such new plan submittals,
Owner shall submit a traffic study to the City (which may be an update of the
Existing Traffic Study) for review in form and content reasonably acceptable to the
Community Development Director, or alternatively request that City prepare such
a study at Owner’s cost. Where said study (or the City’s reasonable review of the
same) determines that the proposed development of the Owner Properties will
warrant traffic control devices or signalization, a traffic control and signalization
Page 16 of 30
plan, potentially including plans for off-site traffic control devices and stoplights
on perimeter roads adjacent to the Property (including but not limited to Peace Road
adjacent to the COMED ROW), shall be submitted for review and approval by the
Community Development Director prior to final plat approval, and Owner shall be
responsible for installing all such improvements pursuant to the schedule indicated
in the plan. Under those circumstances, Owner will be entitled to recapture from
other properties benefitting from those traffic improvements.
4. Bike Path Contribution: Owner shall, within ninety (90) days of the date of
approval of this Agreement, make a one-time contribution of $120,000, which
funding may be utilized by the City towards the costs of constructing a public bike
path to service the Property and surrounding development.
5. Internal Roadways: All concept, preliminary and final plans shall comply with
the following requirements.
a. Access to Fairview Road: Owner shall be only granted one additional
access point to Fairview Road, to be located at the lot line between existing Lots 12
and 13. Said access point shall be restricted to use as an emergency access point
only, and shall be controlled with a gate and fence in configuration reasonably
acceptable to the Community Development Director, with the City’s Police and
Fire Department having use of said access point. This access point shall be
controlled by an emergency access system reasonably acceptable to the Community
Development Director.
b. Internal Roads: The Parties acknowledge that Owner shall not be required
to construct “Hartman Road” or any other previously contemplated internal roads
identified in various previous concept plans regarding both the Owner Properties
and the Property generally and that the City will not require such construction of
“Hartman Road” or any other such contemplated internal roads under the Original
Agreement, including, without limitation, a North/South internal road extending
from Macom Drive to Industrial Drive or an internal East/West road (“East/West
Road”) commencing at Peace Road (aligning with the currently proposed
signalized intersection entrance into the development on the Easterly side of Peace
Road commonly referred to as DeKalb Commons (“Peace Road Intersection”))
and terminating at the westerly edge of the Property, at the boundary line with that
certain parcel of property identified in the Original Agreement as the Algus
Retained Property.
c. Dedication of Additional Rights-of-Way: Owner shall, at the time of
approval of any preliminary or final plat for Lot 20, dedicate to the City rights of
way in final configuration, form and content reasonably acceptable to the City but
substantially similar to those depicted on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit K as
the “Industrial Drive Cul-de-Sac,” the “Industrial Drive Southern Extension” and
the “Algus Extension,” respectively.
Page 17 of 30
6. Signalized Intersection: To the extent a traffic study reasonably acceptable to the
City and Owner demonstrates that minimum warrants therefor are met under the
provisions of the then-current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, a
signalized intersection will be constructed at the Peace Road Intersection. To the
extent so recommended, the developer of the first to develop of the Peace Road
Lots (by Owner) or the DeKalb Commons property (by that owner) shall construct
that signalized intersection at the time of improvement of said property (prior to the
issuance of final certificates of occupancy for any portion thereof adjacent to the
proposed location of the signal (or in the case of the Owner Properties, adjacent to
the COMED ROW adjacent thereto)). Said intersection shall be constructed and
signalized concurrently with the first to occur of the construction of the East/West
Road or the approval of a final plan for the Peace Road Lots if not previously
constructed. In the event that a final plan is approved for the Peace Road Lots that
does not include a requirement for the East/West Road, then the signalized
intersection shall be utilized to provide primary access to the Peace Road Lots. In
the event that the owner of the DeKalb Commons property constructs said
signalized intersection, Owner agrees that it shall be responsible for the payment of
recapture in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the costs of designing and
constructing said intersection and signalization, and agrees to dedicate and donate
any right of way required for said intersection at no cost. Such recapture cost shall
be payable at the time of final platting of the Peace Road Lots and will only be
applicable to the owner of the Peace Road Lots at that time. In the event that Owner
constructs said signalized intersection, the owner of the DeKalb Commons property
shall be responsible for the payment of recapture in an amount equal to fifty percent
(50%) of the costs of designing and constructing said intersection and signalization,
and will be required to dedicate and donate any right of way required for said
intersection at no cost. Such recapture cost shall be payable at the time of final
platting of the DeKalb Commons property. Internal roadways constructed on
Owner Properties may, in Owner’s discretion, be either private roadways that are
privately maintained by Owner or the Property Owners Association, inclusive of
all maintenance, snow removal, deicing or other activities, or public roadways.
C. Storm Water Retention, Facilities and Improvements
1. Owner Responsibility: Except as provided in Article IV(C)(2) below, Owner shall
provide all necessary storm sewers, overland flow routes, detention systems and
compensatory storage for the Owner Properties in compliance with the UDO, the
existing flood plain ordinance of the City and all other applicable laws and
regulations, as modified or amended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. In
determining whether any parcel within the Owner Properties satisfies zoning
standards, any part thereof within a detention or retention system may be included
as part of the area of said parcel. In the event Owner elects to construct a combined
detention or retention system which serves all or a portion of the parcels that
comprise the Owner Properties, the land area dedicated to the retention or detention
system for a specific parcel shall be included in the land area of the parcel for
calculations of zoning standards with regard to maximum site coverage. Owner
Page 18 of 30
shall, at the time of development of any lot within the Owner Properties, encumber
with an easement of record any portion of the land area within that lot dedicated to
storm water retention or detention for the benefit of any property other than the lot
in question.
2. Existing Storm Water Retention, Facilities and Drainage Improvements:
Owner and Owner’s predecessors in interest have previously constructed certain
existing storm water facilities on the Property in accordance with the terms of a
storm water management plan attached hereto as Exhibit G (“Existing Storm
Water Plan”), which Existing Storm Water Plan has been approved by the City.
Requirements for the construction of future detention or storm water facilities shall
be based upon the new needs for storm water detention based upon the impervious
surface area generated by any proposed future development of the Owner
Properties. In the event of any future modification of the City’s storm water
retention and detention codes, any development proposed to occur on the Owner
Properties after the effective date of such modification shall comply with the
standards outlined therein (but all development completed prior to that date shall
comply with the City’s regulations applicable at the time of development). All new
development of the Owner Properties shall require new detention facilities and
compensable storage other than Lots 2, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 13 (as identified on the
Concept Plan, it being acknowledged that Lots 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 13 and portions of Lot
20 have been provided detention within the Existing Storm Water Plan.
3. Future Detention Basins: Owner shall comply with the following conditions for
any future detention basins:
a. Lincoln Highway Setback: In the event that the Lincoln Highway Frontage
develops with commercial use pursuant to Article III(B)(1)(b) above, no detention
basin shall be constructed within four hundred (400) feet of the southerly right of
way line of Lincoln Highway. In the event that the Lincoln Highway Frontage is
developed as part of the development of all or a portion of Lot 20, as contemplated
in Article III(B)(1)(a), the provisions of that section shall govern with regard to the
installation of detention, signage and screening. All detention setbacks shall
comply with Public Act 86-616.
b. Runway Protection Zone: Any detention basin constructed on the Owner
Properties within an officially recognized Runway Protection Zone or other similar
regulatory area shall include such modifications and improvements as shall be
required to comply with then-applicable regulations in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the Community Development Director. All storm water basins within
such Runway Protection Zones shall comply with FAA Advisory Circular 150-
5200-33B (or the then-current and applicable requirements). Said requirements
shall also apply to the existing detention basin located the northwestern corner of
Peace Road and Fairview Drive (“Lot 13 Pond”). Owner will either remove the
Lot 13 Pond or will modify the Lot 13 Pond to comply with applicable requirements
described above within thirty-six (36) months after the date of execution and
Page 19 of 30
delivery of this Agreement by both Owner and the City.
c. Future “North” Detention Basin: Owner agrees and acknowledges that
there is a present drainage/detention issue on adjacent properties. As a condition of
development of the Owner Properties, Owner agrees that it shall provide an
oversized northerly detention basin, generally contemplated to be north of the
existing Target development, in form and configuration reasonably acceptable to
the Community Development Director, to accommodate a release rate of 0.03
CFS/acre, which is lower than the maximum permitted under the then-current storm
water ordinance. Such basin shall be oversized in an effort to accommodate
existing offsite and onsite stormwater flows and to address a present (and
contemplated future) stormwater concern to Owner’s reasonable ability.
d. Regional Storm Water Drainage: Owner shall provide all necessary storm
sewers, detention systems, and compensatory storage to develop the Owner
Properties in compliance with the applicable provisions of the UDO and all other
applicable laws and regulations; provided, however, that said sewers and storage
facilities may be provided as a phase or part of the regional storm drainage system
as the various portions of the region are developed and provided that, at the time a
parcel within the Owner Properties is developed, the portion of the storm water
drainage and detention system serving that parcel has sufficient capacity (or is
expanded to provide such sufficient capacity) to accommodate storm water
discharge from that parcel into that system in accordance with the standards
outlined above.
D. Sanitary Sewers
1. Sanitary Sewer Service: The City shall cooperate with Owner and execute all
applications, permit requests and other documents required to obtain sanitary
sewage treatment service from the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District in order
to allow Owner’s connection to the existing and future sanitary sewer lines installed
on the interior and exterior of the Property. Owner shall pay to the requisite
governmental entity its respective shares of all permits, inspection and tap on fees
that are required at the time of connection to such sanitary sewer system. The City
shall cooperate with Owner in obtaining all necessary easements and shall grant
Owner access to all City owned rights of way to enable Owner to access the sanitary
sewer service for the Owner Properties, in accordance with the approved Final
Plans.
2. Owner Responsibility: It shall be Owner’s responsibility to contact the
Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District to ascertain the status of and make the
appropriate contributions toward any existing recapture agreements pertaining to
sanitary sewer lines, lift stations or other sanitary system infrastructure, or
contributions, accommodations, or agreements regarding the oversizing of sanitary
sewer lines or other sanitary system improvements required by the Kishwaukee
Water Reclamation District. Owner acknowledges that the City shall have no
Page 20 of 30
responsibility or liability for any recapture related to sanitary sewers. No separate
sanitary sewer fees are due to the City, except for standard building permits,
connection and inspection fees, and any fees collected by the City on behalf of the
Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District payable City-wide as a condition to
connection to and the use of the system by all properties.
ARTICLE V
INTENTIONALLY DELETED
ARTICLE VI
NEW BUILDINGS
No new buildings or structures shall be erected on the Property, except in compliance with
all applicable provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
FEES
A. Fees: Owner shall pay all fees, in the amount and at the time as required by any applicable
City Ordinance.
B. Peace Road Contribution: The Parties acknowledge that Owner has benefitted
substantially from the construction, improvement and maintenance of Peace Road, which road
provides the Owner Properties with their primary access to both Lincoln Highway and the I-88
tollway. Owner agrees to contribute to the future improvement of Peace Road as follows:
1. I-88 to IL Route 38 (Lincoln Highway): Owner acknowledges that the City has
presently programmed that portion of Peace Road from I-88 to Illinois Route 38 (Lincoln
Highway) for improvement, and it is presently included within a federal and state grant
program that results in the provision of eighty percent (80%) of the costs of designing and
constructing improvements from grant funding, with a twenty percent (20%) local funding
obligation. Owner shall be responsible for the payment of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand
and No/100ths Dollars ($750,000.00) as Owner’s portion of any local share of the cost of
designing and constructing this portion of Peace Roadway, to be paid to the City in
accordance with Section VII(B)(3) below.
2. Macom Drive: The cost of maintaining Macom Drive (which is owned by the
City) will be the exclusive responsibility of the City. In calendar year 2020, the City shall
perform crack-filling and other necessary surface repairs to Macom Drive (as determined
by the City in its sole discretion) at the City’s sole cost.
3. Payment of Obligation: Amounts payable to the City by Owner under Section
VII(B)(1) above will be allocated pro rata (determined on a per acre basis) among
subdivided lots within the Owner Properties and will be payable into escrow within sixty
Page 21 of 30
(60) days after delivery of written notice to Owner that bids for the programmed
improvements to Peace Road from I-88 to Illinois Route 38 have been awarded. That
escrow may be with the Chicago, loop office of a nationally recognized title company or
with the City pursuant to a form of escrow agreement agreeable to the Parties.
4. Grants Toward Obligation: The Parties agree that Owner may satisfy all or some
portion of its obligation towards the above-referenced costs through the identification and
provision of other forms of grant funding to satisfy the local match requirement. In the
event that the Parties successfully obtain additional grants that can be utilized to satisfy the
local match, and said grants are based upon the development or other activities within the
Property, such grants shall be applied as a credit against Owner’s obligation, on a prorata
basis, up to the full amount of such obligation. If the Parties are able to secure additional
grants to cover the full twenty percent (20%) local share based upon the development or
activities occurring on the Property, Owner would not be required to make a further
contribution towards project costs.
C. Other Grants: The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in seeking available
financial assistance from available grant programs that may benefit the Owner Properties or which
may provide for the funding or construction of public improvements that benefit the Owner
Properties. During the Construction Period regarding a particular development site at the Owner
Properties, Owner will exercise reasonable efforts to secure the cooperation of prospective
occupants of that site regarding available grant programs that may benefit the Owner Properties or
which may provide for the funding or construction of public improvements that benefit the Owner
Properties.
ARTICLE VIII
DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTIONS
A. Stop Work Orders: The City may issue stop orders in accordance with City Code as
necessary to insure development occurs as required by this Agreement and City Ordinances.
Unless issued in case of emergency, said stop orders shall be preceded by reasonable notice (not
less than three days) and opportunity to comply.
B. Compliance with City Ordinances: The City and Owner agree that, except as specifically
modified in this Agreement and as shown in applicable Final Plans, the Owner Properties shall be
developed in compliance with all ordinances, codes and regulations of the City in effect at the time
of development, including but not limited to the City Subdivision Control Ordinance. The Parties
acknowledge that it is the ultimate responsibility of Owner to comply with any and all requirements
of this Agreement and applicable City Codes.
C. Engineering Review and Permits: All construction shall be in accordance with the Final
Plans. Any issues not addressed by the Final Plans or any proposed changes to the Final Plans
shall be required to comply with the City Codes and any comments which are included within the
Final Plan approval. All such comments must be addressed prior to site development. All versions
of the plat, including the final plat, shall be subject to the requirements of the Development
Page 22 of 30
Standards. All permits from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or any other agency
with jurisdiction over the Property must be issued prior to work on water main, sanitary sewer or
storm sewer improvements commences; the City will reasonably cooperate with Owner in signing
such applications.
D. Utility Extensions: The installation of the necessary and appropriate on-site electric,
natural gas, cable, television, telephone facilities, future internet access facilities and other utilities
(when available) to the Property shall be by underground installation and pursuant to the
requirements of such utility companies or pursuant to the agreement of the City with such entities
and at no cost to the City. Owner agrees to bury all overhead utility lines existing at the time of
development that run within the Property at the time of development of the area in question.
E. Traffic Enforcement: Owner will not unreasonably object to the City’s traffic law
enforcement on private parking lots, roads and commercial areas of the Owner Properties in
accordance with City Code. Owner and the City agree and acknowledge that said enforcement
shall be limited to enforcement of accessible parking restrictions and fire lane parking zones.
F. Site Control: Owner acknowledges that, depending on weather conditions, construction
traffic entering and leaving a construction site creates debris, especially dirt, dust, and mud clots
on streets and roadways adjacent to a construction site on the Owner Properties. Owner agrees that
during the Construction Period it shall inspect and clean the streets and roadways adjacent to and
within 1,000 feet of the entrance to Owner’s construction site on the Owner Properties of debris
that came from the Owner Properties or in relation to the development thereof, and take reasonable
measures to control dust as needed daily while construction is occurring on said site. Within the
Owner Properties, Owner further agrees during the Construction Period to mow vegetation
exceeding eight inches, pick up trash and debris and repair and replace soil erosion control fencing
so as to comply with applicable ordinances of the City, all of which activities may be contracted
to its development trades and contractors. During the Construction Period Owner shall also patch
or repair damage to any roadway, path, driveway, sidewalk or other similar improvement within
or adjoining the Owner Properties, prior to the conclusion of the maintenance period for any such
improvement. As security for such obligations, and as a condition of the issuance of any filling or
grading permits, Owner agrees to deposit with the City the sum of twenty thousand ($20,000.00)
dollars (“Site Control Escrow”) prior to commencing any development work of any kind on the
Owner Properties. In the event Owner, during the Construction Period, fails to clean, snow plow
or de-ice the streets, mow weeds, pick-up debris or repair or replace soil erosion control fencing,
or fails to patch or repair any street, path, roadway or sidewalk prior to the acceptance of such
street, path, roadway or sidewalk as herein provided, within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of
notice from the City of Owner’s failure to comply with this provision, then the City may perform
or contract with others to perform such undertaking and deduct the cost thereof from the Site
Control Escrow. In the event that the City reasonably determines that the 48 hour waiting period
presents an undue hazard to public welfare or safety, the City may take action without satisfying
such waiting period. Owner shall, within 15 business days following written notice from the City,
replenish the Site Control Escrow as funds are from time to time properly withdrawn there from
by the City, so as to maintain the same at a twenty thousand ($20,000.00) dollar balance. All sums
remaining on deposit with the City pursuant to this provision shall be credited against other fees
or charges due from Owner upon conclusion of the last of the maintenance periods for public
Page 23 of 30
improvements within the Property, or completion of the development of all lots and units within
the Owner Properties in accordance with the last Final Plat thereof, whichever shall be the last to
occur. Any unused balance will be returned to Owner.
G. Sidewalks: Concrete sidewalks, as required and specified by applicable City Codes and
the terms of this Agreement, shall not be installed between November 15th and April 15th of any
given year, unless otherwise permitted by the City Building Department or by ACI Code. If Owner
constructs the East/West Road, Owner shall construct a public sidewalk as part of that
improvement. In addition, to the extent the owner of the COMED ROW grants a recorded
easement permitting the extension of the existing sidewalk at the east end of Macom Road to the
Peace Road right-of-way, then Owner, at Owner’s expense, will cause the existing sidewalk at the
east end of Macom Road to be extended over the COMED ROW to the Peace Road right-of-way
in accordance with permits therefore issued by the City and in accordance with the terms of any
such recorded easement. Other than the foregoing sidewalks, Owner will not be required to
construct any public sidewalks in connection with the Owner Properties. Nothing in this paragraph
affects Owner’s obligations under this Agreement to repair or replace any existing or future
sidewalks damaged in connection with Owner’s construction activities on the Owner Properties.
H. Building Codes: Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all development on the Owner
Properties shall conform to the then-current and applicable City Codes.
I. Certificates of Occupancy:
The City shall issue certificates of occupancy to applicant in a timely fashion, or issue a letter of
denial informing applicant specifically what corrections are necessary as a condition to the
issuance of a certificate and quoting the section of any applicable code, ordinance or regulation
relied upon by the City in its request for correction. The City shall grant individual certificates of
occupancy for multi-tenant commercial or industrial buildings on a unit-by-unit or store-by-store
basis in accordance with the then-current building code.
Owner may request issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) for a structure where
the structure and site meet all applicable minimum building, safety and fire code requirements but
where not all improvements related to the structure have been completed so as to justify issuance
of a final certificate of occupancy. Temporary certificates of occupancy shall not be delayed in
the event adverse weather conditions prevent construction of final surface courses on private
drives, final landscaping, and final exterior facade improvements (provided that the building is
weathertight and passes all applicable inspections for life-safety and occupancy concerns). If
Owner seeks a TCO, Owner shall post with the City an irrevocable letter of credit or bond from a
financial institution or surety reasonably acceptable to the City, in an amount not less than one
hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the anticipated completion costs for any remaining
improvements. A TCO shall have a maximum term of ninety (90) days for any interior issue and
a maximum term of six (6) months for any exterior issue. Such terms may be extended by the City
for up to three successive extensions of not more than thirty (30) days each. The Community
Development Director shall be authorized to issue TCOs, to approve of letters of credit or bonds
and cost completion estimates, to approve of TCO extensions, and to revoke or terminate a TCO;
provided that Owner may appeal any such revocation or termination to the City Council.
Page 24 of 30
J. Utility Easement Encroachments: Owner and Developer will reasonably cooperate with
each other in good faith to resolve any public utility encroachments (i.e., public utilities
constructed by Owner outside of public utility easements) at the Owner Properties in a mutually
agreeable fashion.
ARTICLE IX
MUTUAL ASSISTANCE
A. Mutual Cooperation: The Parties shall do all things necessary or appropriate to carry out
the terms and provisions of this Agreement; to aid and assist each other in carrying out the terms
and objectives of this Agreement and the intentions of the Parties as reflected by said terms,
including, without limitation, the giving of such notices, the holding of such public hearings, the
enactment by the City of such resolutions and ordinances and the taking of such other actions as
may be necessary to enable the Parties' compliance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and as may be necessary to give effect to the terms and objectives of this Agreement.
ARTICLE X
REMEDIES
A. Upon a breach of this Agreement, any of the Parties, in any court of competent jurisdiction,
by an action or proceedings at law or in equity, may secure the specific performance of the
covenants and agreements herein contained, may be awarded damages for failure of performance
or both. No action taken by any party hereto pursuant to the provisions of this Article or pursuant
to the provisions of any other Article of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an election
of remedies and all remedies set forth in this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of
any other remedy either set forth herein or available to any party at law or in equity.
B. In the event of a material breach of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the party alleged
to be in breach shall have thirty (30) days after written notice of said breach to correct the same
prior to the non-breaching party's seeking of any remedy provided for herein (provided, however,
that said thirty (30) day period shall be extended if the defaulting party has initiated the cure of
said default and is diligently proceeding to cure the same).
C. If any of the Parties shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and the party
affected by such default shall have given written notice of such default to the defaulting party, and
such defaulting party shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) day of such default
notice (provided, however, that said thirty (30) day period shall be extended if the defaulting party
has initiated the cure of said default and is diligently proceeding to cure the same), then, in addition
to any and all other remedies that may be available, either in law or equity, the party affected by
such default shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take such action as in its reasonable
discretion and judgment shall be necessary to cure such default.
D. The failure of the Parties to insist upon the strict and prompt performance of the terms,
covenants, agreements, and conditions herein contained, or any of them, upon any other party
Page 25 of 30
imposed, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any party's right
thereafter to enforce any such term, covenant, agreement or condition, but the same shall continue
in full force and effect.
E. If the performance of any covenant to be performed hereunder by any Party is delayed as a
result of circumstances which are beyond the reasonable control of such Party (which
circumstances may include acts of God, war, acts of civil disobedience, weather, terrorist acts of a
direct or indirect nature, material shortages, flooding, strikes or similar acts), the time for such
performance shall be extended by the amount of time of such delay.
ARTICLE XI
TERM
This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and
assigns for forty (40) years, commencing as of the date hereof, and for such further terms as may
hereinafter be authorized by statute and by City ordinance. In the event that a Court of competent
jurisdiction determines that for any reason a term of forty years is unenforceable, then the preceding
sentence of this Article XI shall be severed and stricken from this Agreement and this Agreement
shall have a term of twenty (20) years commencing on the date hereof. The expiration of the Term
of this Agreement shall not affect the continuing validity of the zoning of the Property or any
ordinance enacted by the City pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
A. Amendment: This Agreement, and the exhibits attached hereto, may be amended only by
mutual consent of the City and owner of an affected parcel, by adoption of an ordinance by the
City approving said amendment as provided by law, and by the execution of said amendment by
the City and that owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City and Owner may agree to amend
the provisions of this Agreement, during its term, without the approval or consent of the owners of
individual commercial lots that have been sold during the term of this Agreement, provided that
the amendment agreed to by the City and Owner does not create any new obligation or burden for
the individual lot owner(s). Purchase of any parcel within the Owner Properties after the recording
of this Agreement constitutes acceptance of the provisions of this Agreement, and waiver of the
right to object to any amendment authorized under this Article XII(A).
B. Severability: If any provision, covenant, agreement or portion of this Agreement or its
application to any person, entity or property is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the
application or validity of any other provisions, covenants, agreements and portions of this
Agreement, and to that end, all provisions, covenants, agreements and portions of the Agreement
are declared to be severable. If for any reason the zoning of the Owner Properties is ruled invalid,
in whole or in part, the Corporate Authorities, as soon as possible, shall take such actions (including
the holding of such public hearings and the adoption of such ordinances and resolutions) as may
be necessary to give effect to the spirit and intent of this Agreement and the objectives of the
Parties, as disclosed by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall be undertaken at the
expense of Owner, as applicable.
Page 26 of 30
C. Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth all agreements, undertakings and covenants
between and among the Parties regarding the Owner Properties. This Agreement supersedes all
contrary ordinances, prior agreements, negotiations and understandings, written and oral, and is a
full integration of the entire agreement of the Parties regarding the Owner Properties. In the event
of any conflict between two or more components of this Agreement providing standards, guidelines
or requirements for Owner to act upon in or around the Owner Properties, construction or related
activities for the Owner Properties, if Owner and City are able to agree upon the applicable standard
in a writing acceptable to both parties, said agreed upon standard may be utilized without an
amendment to this Agreement.
D. Successors and Assigns: This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, successors of Owner and its respective successors, grantees, lessees, and assigns, and upon
successor corporate authorities of the City and successor municipalities, and shall constitute a
covenant running with the land. This Agreement may be assigned without the City's approval, and,
subject to the terms and conditions of this section, upon said assignment and acceptance by an
assignee, the assignor shall have no further obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no owner of a Developed Parcel (as defined below) shall have any
liability under this Agreement for any “Obligation” (as defined below) except for Obligations
relating solely to the use of that Developed Parcel or the construction or maintenance of
improvements thereon, and, further, no breach of this Agreement by Owner or any other party will
restrict, impair or otherwise affect any Developed Parcel or the owner thereof. For purposes
hereof, a “Developed Parcel” means any subdivided parcel of the Owner Properties that has been
developed with a building for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the City and for
which all public improvements required by this Agreement to be completed prior to occupancy of
that building have been so completed (such building, public improvements and the related parcel
of land being referred to herein as a “Developed Parcel”).
All portions of the Owner Properties, other than Developed Parcels, will be subject to and bound
by all the terms of and obligations under this Agreement that govern or regulate the use and
development of that specific parcel of undeveloped land and the construction of as yet
unconstructed public improvements required under this Agreement in connection with the Owner
Properties but will not be bound by obligations under this Agreement that only govern or regulate
the use and development of other portions of the Owner Properties.
Upon a conveyance of any portion of the Owner Properties, the party conveying such portion shall
be released from any further obligations under this Agreement related to the Owner Properties
conveyed that accrue after the date of that conveyance; provided, however, that, to the extent a
bond, letter of credit or other security regarding the construction or maintenance of public
improvements (“Improvement Guaranty”) has been delivered to the City in connection with the
portion of the Owner Properties being conveyed, the current Owner will not be released from the
obligations secured by that Improvement Guaranty until such time as the new owner has delivered
a replacement Improvement Guaranty to the City.
As used in this Agreement the term “Owner” will mean Park 88 Group, LLC, a Delaware limited
Page 27 of 30
liability company as the owner of the Owner Properties as of the date hereof and any person or
entity who acquires fee title to any undeveloped portion of the Owner Properties from Owner.
Upon satisfaction of the duties and obligations of Owner under this Agreement to pay recapture,
if applicable, and to construct and maintain public and private improvements regarding a
Developed Parcel (“Obligations”), the City shall, at the request of Owner, issue a certificate in
recordable form confirming that the Obligations have been fully satisfied for purposes of this
Agreement regarding that Developed Parcel, and the Parties agree that such Obligations shall be
deemed to be fully satisfied regarding that Developed Parcel for all purposes of this Agreement
thereafter.
E. City Designees: Any reference to a specified City employee or official as contained herein
shall be deemed to refer to the specified employee or official, or his or her designee, or in the
absence of a specific reference, the City Manager or a designee thereof.
F. Notices: Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Agreement shall be in

remain unchanged and in full force and effect. In the case of any inconsistency between any of the
provisions of this Agreement and any of the provisions of the Orr Parcel Annexation Agreement,

XII.K of the Orr Parcel Annexation Agreement are each superseded by the terms of this Agreement
and will be of no further force or effect, (2) the concept plan attached as Exhibit B to the Orr Parcel
Annexation Agreement is superseded by the Concept Plan attached hereto as Exhibit F and will be
of no further force or effect, and (3) Owner will not have any obligation to grant access or utility

Property” (as that term is used in the Orr Parcel Annexation Agreement).

affect Owner’s obligations for the benefit of the Algus Retained Property under Section 14.09 of
the Original Agreement.
I. Time of Essence: Time is of the essence of this Agreement and of each and every provision
hereof.
J. Indemnification: Owner covenants and agrees to pay, at its expense, any and all damages,
expenses, liabilities and losses resulting from this Agreement, the construction and development
activities of Owner, or its agents, contractors and subcontractors regarding the development of the
Owner Properties, and to defend and indemnify and save the City and its officers, elected and
appointed agents, employees, engineers and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnifieds”) harmless
of, from and against such damages, expenses, liabilities and losses, except to the extent such
damages, expenses, liabilities and losses arise by reason of the gross negligence or willful or
wanton act or omission of the Indemnifieds. Owner shall provide satisfactory proof of insurance
covering such defense and indemnity of the Indemnifieds.
K. Written Assurance: Upon a written request from Owner or the owner of the lot within
the Owner Properties, the City will execute and deliver a “Written Assurance” (defined below) to
Owner, the owner of that lot or to a prospective purchaser or mortgage lender. A “Written
Assurance” is a writing which states that, except as otherwise provided in that Written Assurance:
(a) this Agreement has not been amended or modified in any manner not of record with the DeKalb
County, Illinois Recorder; (b) to the best knowledge of the party executing and delivering the
Written Assurance there are no defaults presently existing under this Agreement by the requesting
party; (c) there are no amounts presently due and owing to the party executing and delivering the
Written Assurance from the party requesting the Written Assurance under this Agreement; and (d)
except as provided in the Written Assurance all duties and obligations of Owner under this
Agreement have been satisfied with respect to that portion of the Owner Properties and no duties
or obligations remain to be performed by the owner of that portion of the Owner Properties under
this Agreement.

Supplemental Declaration of Protective Covenants for Park 88 Business Park
This Supplemental Declaration of Protective Covenants for Park 88 Business Park (“Supplemental
Declaration”) is dated as of ____________, 2019 and is made by Park 88 Group, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Developer”).
Recitals:
A. Developer is the successor to DeKalb Associates, an Illinois general partnership as the
“Developer” under that certain Declaration of Protective Covenants for Park 88 Business Park (“Original
Declaration”) dated as of September 21, 2004 and recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder on
September 24, 2004 as Document 2004019754.
B. Section 1.2 of the Original Declaration gives Developer the right to add to the Property
Additional Land that is contiguous or in reasonable proximity to the Property by recording a Supplemental
Declaration of Protective Covenants for Park 88 Business Park which satisfies the requirements of that
section.
C. Developer is the record owner in fee simple of that certain parcel of real property legally
described on Exhibit A hereto (“Additional Land”), which Additional Land is contiguous to or in
reasonable proximity to the Property and Developer desires to make the Additional Land subject to the
terms of the Original Declaration subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Supplemental Declaration.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals (all of which are incorporated into and
made a part of this Supplemental Declaration, as if fully set forth herein), Developer hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Terms that are capitalized but not otherwise defined in this Supplemental
Declaration but are defined in the Original Declaration will have the same meaning herein as given to them
in the Original Declaration.
2. Addition of Additional Land. Developer is the record owner in fee simple of the Additional
Land. The Additional Land is contiguous to or in reasonable proximity to the Property. The Additional
Land is hereby included in the “Property” and is hereby subjected to all of the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Original Declaration as if it were included in the definition of “Property” thereunder and
a legal description thereof were included on Exhibit A thereto. The term “Property” as used in the Original
Declaration is hereby amended to include the Additional Land.
3. Amendments to the Original Declaration for Additional Land. Section 1.2 of the Original
Declaration permits Developer to specify any of the Protective Covenants to which the Additional Land
will not be subject and any of the Protective Covenants to which the Additional Land will be subject in
modified form. Consequently, the Original Declaration is hereby modified as follows solely as it affects
and encumbers the Additional Land:
(a) Section 4.11 of the Original Declaration will not apply to the Additional Land.
The Additional Property will be subject to that certain Amended and Restated Park 88 Development
Agreement dated as of ____________, 2019 and recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder as
Document No. _________________ (“Amended Development Agreement”). Each Owner of
any portion of the Additional Land will comply with the Amended Development Agreement and
no Owner of any portion of the Additional Land will agree to any amendment to or modification
of the Amended Development Agreement without the Board’s express prior written consent.
(b) Section 4.13 of the Original Declaration will not apply to the Additional Land.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.11 of the Original Declaration to the
contrary, no modification of the terms of this Section 3 will be effective against any portion of the
Additional Land without the consent of the Owner thereof.
4. Reaffirmation of Original Declaration. To the extent this Supplemental Declaration is
deemed an amendment to the Original Declaration, the Original Declaration, as amended by this
Supplemental Declaration, shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms and provisions thereof
and hereof.

AMENDED AND RESTATED PARK 88 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
SUMMARY
A. Situated at the southeastern end of the City of DeKalb, Park 88 is a parcel of
property of approximately 465 acres owned by Park 88 Group, LLC.
B. The City and Park 88 Group, LLC (as successor to DeKalb Associates, an Illinois
partnership) originally entered into a Park 88 Development Agreement dated as of June 28, 2004
and recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder’s Office on August 5, 2004 as Document No.
2004016020.
C. The City and Park 88 Group LLC (as successor to Park 88, LLC, an Illinois limited
liability company) subsequently entered into an Annexation Agreement dated as of July 9, 2007
and recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder’s Office on August 15, 2007 as Document No.
2007014519 regarding a portion of Park 88 Group LLC’s properties commonly referred to as the
“Orr Parcel”. At the time of the annexation, the Orr Parcel automatically came into the City under
an SFR1 zoning classification.
D. At the present time, Park 88 Group LLC is the owner of the remaining undeveloped
lands within Park 88, including the Orr Parcel. Park 88 Group LLC and the City have agreed to
amend and restate the original development agreement in its entirety to facilitate the development
of the remaining undeveloped lands within Park 88 as a modern commercial and industrial
property in accordance with updated provisions and standards addressing matters such as land use,
setbacks, building height, interior roadway alignments, Peace Road improvements, roadways costs
and maintenance, building appearance/landscape standards, signage, lighting, fences and
pedestrian/bicycle paths. Previously developed properties within Park 88 will remain governed by
the provisions of the original development agreement.
E. In order to facilitate the development of the undeveloped properties remaining
within Park 88 (in particular the Orr Parcel) as a modern commercial and industrial property, Park
88 Group LLC and the City desire to amend the terms of the Orr Parcel Annexation Agreement.
Accordingly, to be consistent with the zoning of the developed parcels in Park 88, the Orr Parcel
(which is currently zoned SRF1) would be immediately rezoned as PD-C/PD-I.
G. The City believes that Park 88 Group LLC’s proposed use of the remaining
undeveloped properties within Park 88 will be compatible with and will further the planning
objectives of the City and that the redevelopment of those properties will be of benefit to the City,
will permit orderly growth, planning and development of the City, will increase the tax base of the
City, and will promote and enhance the general welfare of the City and its residents. .
H. The City believes that the “PD-C” and “PD-I” Planned Development-Commercial
and Industrial Zoning District, as provided under the City of DeKalb Unified Development
Ordinance (the “UDO”) will be the most appropriate zoning classifications for the development
of the remaining undeveloped properties within Park 88 (including the Orr Parcel).

Melissa,
Thanks for your comments/questions regarding the proposed amendments to the Park 88 project.
Please see responses below. A copy will be provided to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the
applicant.
Variance Requests
Park 88 has existing development standards from a 2004 Ordinance, which they are proposing to
modifying to accommodate future growth and to be more consistent with the City’s current zoning
and development regulations. I’ve attached the proposed development agreement language.
Fire Flow
Our Assistant Public Works Director indicates there should be no negative impacts on Panduit’s fire
flows based on proposed amendments or potential new construction. Additional looping of water
mains within Park 88 due to new construction may actually improve fire flows. Looping of 16” water
main that is currently stubbed across I-88 to the south of Panduit back to Rt. 23 along Gurler Rd.
should also improve fire flows for Panduit. If there are any additional questions regarding your
current or future fire flows, you can contact our Asst. PW Director, Bryan Faivre, at 815-748-8131 or
BFAIVRE@CITYOFDEKALB.com I’ve cc: Bryan on this e-mail.
Impact Fees - Traffic
Panduit will not be subject to any impact fees for traffic improvements related to Park 88.
If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

Are there any variance requests in the attached petition or are all of the
requirements stated already existing for this type of zoning.
Currently, our fire pump flow test are marginally acceptable as far as residual
pressure when flowing 150% of the pump capacity
Will this new development have any effect on our current water supply for our fire
protection system? What steps will the city of DeKalb take to ensure we maintain
an adequate water supply to our facility?
Will Panduit be subject to any impact fees for traffic improvements.
The documents indicate that other companies benefiting from the traffic
improvements will be required to share the expense for these improvements.
