Higgins Road REQUEST SUMMARY D.R. Horton is seeking approval of a Special Use for a Planned Development and Preliminary and Final Plat of Subdivision for a 72-lot townhome development, called Higgins Crossing, at 125 and 155 W. Higgins Road. Location: 125 & 155 W. Higgins Road Property Owner / Applicant: EFN Hoffman Estates Properties LLC / D. R. Horton Inc. Property Size: 6.18 acres Zoning / Land Use: B-2 Community Business, two unoccupied commercial buildings Adjacent Properties: North: Higgins Road ROW, B-2 Community Business West: A-1 Apartment District, Village Park & Town and Country Apartments South: R-8 Two-Family Residential, Hampton Knoll Townhomes East: B-2 Community Business, Valli Produce Center BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS The subject property is a 6.1 acre site located at the southeast corner of Evanston and Higgins Roads. The property is zoned B-2 Community Business and is improved with two unoccupied car dealership structures and surface parking lots. The site has been vacant for nearly 10 years and marketed for sale for the last several years without much commercial interest. D.R. Horton, contract purchaser, is seeking approval to redevelop the site as a townhome community. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Planned Developments for multi-family dwellings are permitted as a Special Use in the B-2 zoning district in conformance with Section 9-1-18A of the Municipal Code. The process is similar to the Village’s Special Use/Site Plan review process in that a Petitioner submits plans (as required per Section 9-1-18A) which are reviewed by staff and then brought forth to the Plan Commission and Village Board for consideration. Pending favorable approval, the applicant may submit for building permits. Page 1 of 5 Page 5 of 110 PROJECT SUMMARY AND SITE PLAN Except as noted, the development plans are consistent with all site design and build requirements as outlined in Section 9-1-18A-N of the Municipal Code, including building height, floor area ratio, land improvements, utilities, landscaping, parking, and signage. The project proposes 72 new attached residential units within 14 buildings. The new units would be oriented around a new private interior drive aisle. The drive aisle provides direct access to Higgins Road and Evanston Street. The building envelopes would maintain a 20’ setback from the exterior lot lines. The architectural plans show a front stoop which would be setback a minimum 15.5’ from the exterior lot lines. The units have rear load garages which would all have driveway access from the new private street. Units would be setback 18.5 feet from the private street to allow room for vehicles within the driveway. Each building would include 4 to 6 units and would be 3- stories in height. The facade includes Hardie Board siding and stone veneer. The units would all have 2 or 3 bedrooms. Page 2 of 5 Page 6 of 110 Landscaping Landscaping would be provided throughout the development and would include a mix of trees and shrubs in compliance with the code. Foundation plantings are provided around each building. A dense row of evergreen trees are proposed along the south and east lot lines. Parkway trees would be planted along Evanston Street with the proper species and spacing. Parkway trees are not proposed along the Higgins Road right-of-way due to underground utility conflicts. The bottom of the detention basin would be seeded with emergent and wet meadow grasses. Traffic and Parking The Higgins Road access would be maintained from the existing curb cut and would be right-in/right-out only. Higgins Road is an IDOT controlled right-of-way and they have jurisdiction to approve permits for the drive aisle connections and the sidewalk replacement. The access to Evanston Street would be relocated approximately 50 north of the current curb cut. The new location will align with the drive aisle for Village Park Apartments to the west to reduce traffic conflicts. The existing curb cut would be closed with barrier curb, and the previous drive aisle would be removed and landscaped. The drive aisle identified as Jacobs Court would remain private, and maintenance responsibilities would fall to the homeowner’s association. The private drive meets the minimum requirements for a two-way drive aisle. The Petitioner has submitted an Autoturn exhibit to verify there is adequate access for emergency vehicles and trash collection. Each unit includes a 2-car attached garage with parking for 2 additional vehicles in each driveway. There are an additional 23 guest Page 3 of 5 Page 7 of 110 parking spaces provided throughout the project. The parking ratio would be 4.3 spaces per unit. The Petitioner submitted a traffic and parking study for this project completed by KLOA. The traffic study indicates the overall traffic generated by this use would be less than the previous commercial uses of the site generated. The study analyzed the level of service (LOS) for all surrounding roadways and determined the proposal can be accommodated by the existing road system with minimal delays in the existing conditions. Public sidewalks would be reinstalled along Evanston Street. The multi-use path along Higgins Rd would be reconstructed and would include ADA upgrades. Pedestrian access into the site would be provided from sidewalk legs to the adjacent rights-of-way. An internal sidewalk system provides pedestrian access through the development. Engineering The site drains from south to north under the natural conditions. Stormwater would be collected on site and directed to a new dry bottom detention basin proposed in the center of the development. The basin would ultimately discharge at a restricted rate into an existing storm sewer in the Higgins Road right of way. New water mains would be extended around and through the project by connecting to existing adjacent mains. Services to each unit would be extended from the new internal mains. The plan would abandon an aging water main in the Higgins Road right-of-way and re-route the new main through the subject property along Higgins Road frontage. Sanitary mains would be extended from existing mains to provide service. IEPA and MWRD permits are is required for this project. Subdivision and Marketing Signage The plans identify building 13 at the northwest corner of the site as a model building. The Petitioner has submitted plans for marketing signs which would exceed the typical code restrictions. These include: 3 - 32 sf. double sided marketing billboards 1 - 24 sf. marketing billboard 3 ‘sailboat’ or feather flags up to 21’ in height 1 - 40 sf. model banner The plans indicate one subdivision identification sign along Higgins Road. This sign would be approximately 6’ tall and 20 square feet. All temporary marketing and permanent signage must obtain building permits. PLAT OF SUBDIVISION The property would be formally re-subdivided, as outlined in the attached Plat of Subdivision. Each unit would be on its own lot. All property which is not improved with a unit would be placed within a common area lot, including all streets, sidewalks, storm water detention and utilities. A homeowner's association would be established for the maintenance of the common areas, including the private aces drive, signage and stormwater detention improvements. The entire area common lot is within a blanket easement for utilities and access. The site will be subject to the establishment of a dormant Special Service Area (SSA) for future maintenance of common area ponds and drives should the HOA no longer be able to maintain these items. Final Declarations will be required to be recorded as a condition of final approval as well.

Horton, Inc., a Delaware corporation and publicly traded company having an address at 1341 Horton Circle, Arlington, TX 1 Page 17 of 110 76011. 4. Petitioner is the contract purchaser of the Subject Property. 5. The Subject Property consists of approximately 6.2 acres of real property located at the southeast corner of Higgins Road and Evanston Street and has a common address of 125 & 155 W. Higgins Road, Hoffman Estates, IL 60169. 6. The Subject Property is currently improved with two vacant buildings previously utilized as car dealerships. 7. The Subject Property has remained unoccupied and underutilized in its current configuration for much of the last decade despite multiple changes in ownership, including the Rohrman Auto Group, the Purdue University Research Foundation, and most recently, an affiliate of the Napleton Automotive Group. 8.

The Subject Property is currently zoned “B-2” Community Business District. 10. Section 9-1-18A(E)(1) of Village Code authorizes special uses for planned developments in the “B-2” Community Business District. 11. The existing zoning districts and land uses surrounding the Subject Property are as follows: a. North: “B-2” Community Business District consisting of various commercial uses on the north side of Higgins Road. b. East: “B-2” Community Business District consisting of Valli Produce and assorted commercial uses. 2 Page 18 of 110  c. South: “R-8” Two-Family Residential District consisting of duplexes in the Hampton Knoll Subdivision. d. West: “A-1” Apartment District consisting of the Village Park apartment complex. 12. The proposed entitlements meet all requirements for the redevelopment of the Subject Property and will facilitate the beneficial use of the Subject Property as stated below. SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT The Petitioner and builder is D.R. Horton, Inc. – Midwest. Petitioner is a multi-brand homebuilding company capable of serving homeowners during all phases of life. Petitioner has been building homes since being founded in 1978 and has grown to be the largest homebuilder both nationally and in the Chicago region – building over 93,000 homes nationwide and 1,000 homes in the Chicago area in 2024. Bringing decades of construction and development experience to each project, Petitioner has found success building communities that offer quality housing options designed to serve the diverse needs of the local community. Petitioner serves multiple buyer segments across a variety of price points, and Petitioner looks forward to providing a new housing option for the Village’s existing residents as well as those that would like to live in a well- respected municipality with excellent schools and park facilities. The Subject Property is located at the southeast corner of Higgins Road and Evanston Street. Historically, the Subject Property has been zoned “B-2” Community Business District and utilized for operation of car dealerships. Over the course of the past decade, car dealerships and commercial/retail uses in the area have gravitated north to Golf Road, rendering commercial use of the Subject Property no longer viable. As a result, the Subject Property has remained unoccupied 3 Page 19 of 110 and underutilized for the last 5+ years despite multiple changes in ownership, including the Rohrman Auto Group, the Purdue University Research Foundation, and most recently, an affiliate of the Napleton Automotive Group. The Subject Property has not been well maintained during this timeframe – windows have been boarded up, vegetation has become overgrown, and the Subject Property has been the subject of multiple building code violations and complaints. Petitioner now seeks Village approval to reposition and redevelop the Subject Property with a seventy-two (72) unit owner occupied townhome community to be known as Higgins Crossing. The proposed townhome development is consistent with the planning documents and reports adopted by the Village. The Village’s most current Comprehensive Plan was adopted August 6, 2007 (“Comprehensive Plan”). The Comprehensive Plan designates the future use of the Subject Property as “Commercial,” which designation was consistent with the Subject Property’s use at the time of the Comprehensive Plan’s adoption in 2007. However, given the age of the Comprehensive Plan, it did not anticipate the subsequent 2008 market crash nor the changing trends in development for the Subject Property and the surrounding area, which changes effectively rendered use of the Subject Property for commercial/retail purposes obsolete. Still, the proposed development is consistent with the broader vision for the Village set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. As the Comprehensive Plan notes, “as the Village looks to the future, there will be a greater demand for a variety of housing types and price points to meet the market demand of the current demographic trends.” This sentiment is echoed in the Village’s more recent Economic Development Strategic Plan adopted November 21, 2022 (“Economic Development Strategic Plan”) and Residential Market Analysis Report prepared January 26, 2023 (“Residential Market Analysis”). As the Economic Development Strategic Plan notes, development within the Village from the 1990’s 4 Page 20 of 110 through the 2010’s largely consisted of traditional suburban subdivisions with varying price points, such that “it’s time to encourage new products with new amenities that appeal to a new generation of residents.” Most relevant to the proposed development is the Village’s 2023 Residential Market Analysis, which was prepared at the direction of the Village for the specific purpose of evaluating the potential for multifamily for rent and attached for sale housing opportunities. The Residential Market Analysis concludes that the state of the new construction home market represents a significant opportunity for the development of attached for sale housing units in the Village, labeling the potential for this housing type as “significant.” Importantly, the Residential Market Analysis finds that the Village has yet to capture its share of this residential market, stating “moderate- to larger-scale townhome developments are generating strong sales volumes at multiple locations throughout the market, yet Hoffman Estates is currently void of such development activity.” As of the date of the Residential Market Analysis, there were 1,740 apartments and less than 350 attached for sale housing units approved or under construction in the Village, and the report found that “while other projects are at concept stage or in early discussion, the total number of units in planning is still 40% lower than market capacity through 2028 – not including upside potentials.” Higgins Crossing will assist in fulfilling the needs and gaps in the market identified in the Comprehensive Plan, the Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the Residential Market Analysis. This will be accomplished via the conversion of otherwise underutilized property to a vibrant townhome community targeting a variety of homebuyers, including some of the fastest growing housing segments of our population – millennials, young professionals, and empty nesters. 5 Page 21 of 110  Unlike the historical use of the Subject Property, the proposed development aligns with the current trend of development in the area and will logically transition between the surrounding uses, including the higher intensity commercial uses to the north and east, the Village Park apartment complex to the west, the Hampton Knoll duplexes to the south, and the detached single-family homes the further south you move from Higgins Road. Townhomes are also an appropriate transitional use along a principal arterial roadway corridor like Higgins Road. Whereas the uses along Golf Road to the north and Roselle Road to the east are commercial/retail in nature, the Higgins Road corridor is generally more residential, hosting a variety of residential housing developments including apartments, duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, and single-family detached homes. The proposed townhomes in Higgins Crossing will help support the existing commercial and retail uses in the area, including those along Golf Road and Roselle Road which are only a short walk away and easily accessible via the proposed carriage walks and sidewalks planned for the development and the existing sidewalk networks along Higgins Road, Golf Road, and Roselle Road. Valli Produce is located immediately adjacent to the east, providing an additional convenience for future residents. The future residents will also benefit from the development’s proximity to shopping districts, recreational amenities, and employment centers. Within a 3-mile radius, there are a large variety of retail establishments, groceries, restaurants, entertainment opportunities, and recreational amenities. Nearby employment corridors offer future residents the additional feature of conveniently located employment opportunities. Higgins Crossing will be easily accessible via separate access points from Higgins Road and Evanston Street. The existing access point from Evanston Road will be moved north to align with the entrance across the street to the Village Park apartment complex consistent with best 6 Page 22 of 110 planning practices to avoid conflicting turning movements coming out of the two neighboring subdivisions. The private, circular roadway internal to the development has been designed to circulate traffic efficiently and safely. The private roadways will be owned and maintained by the homeowners’ association to be formed for the community (“HOA”). On a broader scale, the Subject Property is conveniently located in close proximity to key transportation corridors, including the I-90 and I-290 interchange, offering easy access to the greater Chicagoland area and providing convenience for commuting residents. Higgins Crossing will be served by a large stormwater detention basin located central to the development. This naturalized detention basin will include a variety of seed mixes and areas of open water, providing the community with an attractive open space feature. The detention basin will be owned and maintained by the HOA to ensure its proper function and sustained aesthetic appeal. Landscape treatments will be utilized throughout Higgins Crossing to enhance the visual appeal of the community, including a mix of parkway trees, shade trees, and shrubs. In addition to foundation plantings around each building, extra care has been taken to strategically incorporate significant landscaping along the Subject Property’s south and east property lines to screen the development from the adjacent uses and to create the feel of a residential enclave. Architecturally, the proposed development is consistent with current market trends. The architectural style can be categorized as “timeless craftsman,” blending a variety of design features to create an attractive facade. The use of quality and low maintenance materials ensures the development will withstand the test of time. The townhomes will feature a mix of two and a half and three-story streetscapes consistent with market trends in the area and consumer demand. All units will be rear-loaded so no garages are visible to the public eye from Higgins Road and 7 Page 23 of 110 Evanston Street. The homes will feature 3 floor plans with no less than 2 elevations each. The standard base unit will be comprised of 2 bedrooms, 2.5-3.5 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, with a 3rd bedroom and den option available. Square footages will range from approximately 1,650 square feet to 1,800 square feet. Architectural enhancements will include masonry, architectural shingle roofs, multiple roof peaks for added interest, a variety of window sizes, bump outs to break up the vertical plane, and a variety of siding types, including hardy board lap siding, board & batten, and shaker shingle. The development will provide sufficient parking for both its residents and their guests. Each of the 72 townhomes will feature 2 garage spaces and 2 driveway spaces for 288 parking spaces. In addition, 23 guest parking spaces have been incorporated throughout the community, for a total of 311 parking spaces for the development, or 4.3 parking spaces per townhomes, which exceeds the amount of parking required by Village Code. Construction of the development will be completed in a single phase, with demolition and site development work to be completed in the first half of 2026, home construction to begin in June of 2026, and home sales commencing in December of 2026. ZONING REQUESTS AND STANDARDS 1. Approval of a Final Plat of Subdivision. Petitioner has submitted herewith a Final Plat of Subdivision for the Property. As the proposed Plat of Subdivision is compliant with Village Code, Petitioner requests the Plat of Subdivision be approved. 2. Approval of Special Use for Planned Development. Pursuant to Village Code Section 9-1-18-I, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall, in 8 Page 24 of 110 making its determination, find that adequate evidence is provided to meet the standards of a Special Use: a. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare. The proposed development is not detrimental to the health, safety, morals or general welfare and has been designed to avoid or mitigate possible adverse impacts. Historically, the Subject Property has been utilized for the operation of car dealerships. Over the course of the past decade, car dealerships and commercial uses in the area have gravitated north to Golf Road, rendering commercial use of the Subject Property no longer viable. As a result, the Subject Property has remained unoccupied and underutilized for the last 5+ years. The Subject Property has not been well maintained during this timeframe – windows have been boarded up, vegetation has become overgrown, and the Subject Property has been the subject of multiple building code complaints and violations. Petitioner’s proposed development will facilitate demolition of the existing buildings on the Subject Property for its redevelopment, converting otherwise underperforming property to its highest and best use. The proposed development also aligns with the current trend of development in the area and will logically transition between the surrounding uses, including the higher intensity commercial uses to the north and east, the Village Park apartment complex to the west, the Hampton Knoll duplexes to the south, and the detached single-family homes the further south you move from Higgins Road. Townhomes are also an appropriate transitional use along a principal arterial roadway corridor like Higgins Road. Whereas the uses along Golf Road to the north and Roselle Road to the east are commercial/retail in nature, the Higgins Road corridor is generally more residential, 9 Page 25 of 110 hosting a variety of residential housing developments including apartments, duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, and single-family detached homes. The proposed townhomes in Higgins Crossing will help support the existing commercial and retail uses in the area, including those along Golf Road and Roselle Road which are only a short walk away and easily accessible via the existing sidewalk network in the community. In addition to supporting the nearby commercial uses, the proposed development will enhance the Village’s revenue streams through new property, utility, and sales taxes. b. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within that neighborhood. The proposed special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. As previously noted, the Higgins Crossing development is a logical transitional use between the commercial uses to the north and east, the duplexes/townhomes to the south, and the apartment buildings to the west. The proposed townhomes in Higgins Crossing will help support the existing commercial and retail uses in the area, including those along Golf Road and Roselle which are only a short walk away and easily accessible to future residents. In addition to the development’s support of the local commercial/retail uses, Petitioner has taken extra care to strategically incorporate significant landscaping treatments along the Subject Property’s south and east property lines to screen the development from the adjacent residential uses and minimize any impact on neighbors. To enhance the visual appeal of the community, additional landscaping will be incorporated throughout Higgins Crossing, including a mix of parkway trees, shade trees and shrubs. 10 Page 26 of 110  Petitioner also retained Kenig, Lindgren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. to conduct a Traffic Impact Study dated August 21, 2025 (“Traffic Study”) to ensure Higgins Crossing would not have a negative impact on the existing traffic patterns of the area. Importantly, the Traffic Study concluded that: 1) the traffic generated by the proposed development will be less than the previous use on the site; 2) the traffic can be accommodated by the existing area roadway system; and 3) the access provided off Evanston Street and Higgins Road will ensure efficient and flexible access to the site. This is in part a result of Petitioner’s strategic design of the community to move the existing access point from Evanston Street to the north to align it with the entrance to the Village Park apartment complex consistent with best planning practices to avoid conflicting turning movements coming out of the two neighboring subdivisions. In addition to traffic, the development will provide sufficient parking for both its residents and their guests to minimize on-street parking and congestion within the area. Each of the 72 townhomes will feature 2 garage spaces and 2 driveway spaces for 288 parking spaces. 23 guest parking spaces have been incorporated throughout the community, for a total of 311 parking spaces in the development, or 4.3 parking spaces per unit, which exceeds the amount of parking required by Village Code. For the above reasons, the proposed development will not be injurious to or diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. To the contrary, the proposed development will eliminate an otherwise unattractive property use located along an important Village corridor and will facilitate redevelopment the Subject Property for its highest and best use, simultaneously enhancing the Village’s revenue streams through new property, utility, and sales taxes. c. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. 11 Page 27 of 110  The proposed development of Higgins Crossing will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. Historically, the Subject Property has been zoned “B-2” Community Business District and utilized for operation of car dealerships. Over the course of the past decade, car dealerships and commercial/retail uses have gravitated north to Golf Road, rendering commercial use of the Subject Property obsolete. As a result, the Subject Property has remained unoccupied and underutilized for the last 5+ years despite multiple changes in ownership, including the Rohrman Auto Group, the Purdue University Research Foundation, and most recently, an affiliate of the Napleton Automotive Group. Unlike the historical use of the Subject Property, the proposed development aligns with the current trend of development in the area and will logically transition between the surrounding uses, including the higher intensity commercial uses to the north and east, the Village Park apartment complex to the west, the Hampton Knoll duplexes to the south, and the detached single-family homes the further south you move from Higgins Road. Townhomes are also an appropriate transitional use along a principal arterial roadway corridor like Higgins Road. Whereas the uses along Golf Road to the north and Roselle Road to the east are commercial/retail in nature, the Higgins Road corridor is generally more residential, hosting a variety of residential housing developments including apartments, duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, and single-family detached homes. The proposed townhomes in Higgins Crossing will help support the existing commercial and retail uses in the area, including those along Golf Road and Roselle Road which are only a short walk away and easily accessible via the existing sidewalk network in the area. 12 Page 28 of 110  d. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided. All improvements and utilities will be installed consistent with best engineering, water quality, and management practices. Higgins Crossing will be served by a large stormwater detention basin located central to the development. This naturalized detention basin will include a variety of seed mixes and areas of open water, providing the community with an attractive open space feature. The detention basin will be owned and maintained by the HOA to ensure its proper function and sustained aesthetic appeal. With regards to access, Higgins Crossing will be easily accessible via separate access points from Higgins Road and Evanston Street. The existing access point from Evanston Road will be moved north to align with the entrance across the street to the Village Park apartment complex consistent with best planning practices to avoid conflicting turning movements coming out of the two neighboring subdivisions. The private, circular roadway internal to the development has been designed to circulate traffic efficiently and safely. The private roadway will be owned and maintained by the HOA to be formed for the community. Separately, trash and recycling receptacles will be collected by the Village’s current service provider. e. That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in public streets. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in public streets. As noted, Higgins Crossing will be easily accessible via separate access points from Higgins Road and Evanston Street. The existing access point from Evanston Road will be moved north to align with the entrance across the street to the 13 Page 29 of 110 Village Park apartment complex consistent with best planning practices to avoid conflicting turning movements coming out of the two neighboring subdivisions. The private, circular roadway internal to the development has been designed to circulate traffic efficiently and safely. The private roadways will be owned and maintained by the HOA to be formed for the community. As part of the Higgins Crossing development, carriage walks and sidewalks will be located throughout the development to provide residents with easy access to the existing sidewalk network along Higgins Road and Roselle Road for interconnectivity to the greater area. Petitioner also retained Kenig, Lindgren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. to conduct a Traffic Study to ensure Higgins Crossing would not have a negative impact on the existing traffic patterns in the area. Importantly, the Traffic Study concluded that: 1) the traffic generated by the proposed development will be less than the previous use on the site; 2) the traffic can be accommodated by the existing area roadway system; and 3) the access provided off Evanston Street and Higgins Road will ensure efficient and flexible access to the site. In addition to traffic, the development will provide sufficient parking for both its residents and their guests to minimize on-street parking and congestion within the area. Each of the 72 units will feature 2 garage spaces and 2 driveway spaces for 288 parking spaces. 23 guest parking spaces have been incorporated throughout the community, for a total of 311 parking spaces for the development, or 4.3 parking spaces per unit, which exceeds the amount of parking required by Village Code. f. That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located, except in each instance such as regulations may be modified by the Village Board pursuant to the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Except as otherwise depicted on the development plans submitted with the application 14 Page 30 of 110 material, the development will conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is to be located. g. That the special use shall support the economic development goals of the Village as conveyed through the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, or other relevant adopted sub- area or strategic plans. The special use shall support the economic development goals of the Village as conveyed through the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, or other relevant adopted sub-area or strategic plans. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan is nearly 20 years old. The Comprehensive Plan designates the future use of the Subject Property as “Commercial,” which designation was consistent with the Subject Property’s use at the time of the Comprehensive Plan’s adoption in 2007. However, given the age of the Comprehensive Plan, it could not anticipate the subsequent 2008 market crash nor the changing trends in development for the Subject Property and the surrounding area, which changes effectively rendered use of the Subject Property for commercial/retail purposes obsolete. Still, the proposed development is consistent with the broader vision for the Village set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. As the Comprehensive Plan notes, “as the Village looks to the future, there will be a greater demand for a variety of housing types and price points to meet the market demand of the current demographic trends.” This sentiment is echoed in the Village’s Economic Development Strategic Plan and Residential Market Analysis. As the Economic Development Strategic Plan notes, development within the Village from the 1990’s through the 2010’s largely consisted of traditional suburban subdivisions with varying price points, such that “it’s time to encourage new products with new amenities that appeal to a new generation of residents.” Most relevant to the proposed development is the 2023 Residential Market Analysis, which 15 Page 31 of 110 was prepared at the direction of the Village for the specific purpose of evaluating the potential for multifamily for rent and attached for sale housing opportunities. The Residential Market Analysis concludes that the state of the new construction home market represents a significant opportunity for the development of attached for sale housing units in the Village, labeling the potential for this housing type as “significant.” Importantly, the Residential Market Analysis finds that the Village has yet to capture its share of this residential market, stating “moderate- to larger-scale townhome developments are generating strong sales volumes at multiple locations throughout the market, yet Hoffman Estates is currently void of such development activity.” As of the date of the Residential Market Analysis, there were 1,740 apartments and less than 350 attached for sale housing units approved or under construction in the Village, and the report found that “while other projects are at concept stage or in early discussion, the total number of units in planning is still 40% lower than market capacity through 2028 – not including upside potentials.” Higgins Crossing will assist in fulfilling the needs and gaps in the market identified in the Comprehensive Plan, the Economic Development Strategic Plan, and the Residential Market Analysis. This will be accomplished via the conversion of otherwise underutilized property to a vibrant townhome community that targets a variety of homebuyers, including some of the fastest growing housing segments of our population – millennials, young professionals, and empty nesters. 3. Approval of a Planned Development. Pursuant to Village Code Section 9-1-18A-D, Planned Developments shall meet the following objectives: a. Creation of a more desirable environment than would be possible through strict 16 Page 32 of 110  application of other Village land use regulations. The Subject Property is currently zoned “B-2” Community Business District consistent with its historical use for car dealerships. Section 9-1-18A(E)(1) authorizes special uses for planned developments in the “B-2” Community Business District. The proposed development will promote the creation of a more desirable environment than would be possible through strict application of other Village land use regulations. Given the location, historical use, and site constraints of the Subject Property, approval of the development as a planned development is necessary to promote a creative, cohesive, and well thought out community. This includes development features such as an attractive stormwater basin central to the development, significant landscaping treatments along the east and south property lines to provide a buffer between the development and the adjacent uses, adequate room for additional on-site guest parking, and optimal configuration of the proposed townhomes such that they are all rear-loaded with the fronts of the buildings facing Evanston Street and Higgins Road. b. Promotion of a creative approach to the use of land and related physical facilities resulting in better design and development, including aesthetic amenities. The proposed Planned Development will promote a creative approach to the use of land and related physical facilities resulting in better design and development, including aesthetic amenities. As noted, the historical use of the Subject Property has been for car dealerships. Over the course of the past decade, car dealerships and commercial/retail uses have gravitated north to Golf Road, rendering the historical use of the Subject Property obsolete and no longer viable. As a result, the Subject Property has remained unoccupied and underutilized for the last 5+ years. The Subject Property has not been well maintained during this timeframe – windows have been boarded up, vegetation has become overgrown, and the Subject Property has been the subject of 17 Page 33 of 110 multiple building code complaints and violations. Petitioner now seeks Village approval to reposition and redevelop the Subject Property with a seventy-two (72) unit townhome community. Unlike the historical use of the Subject Property, the proposed development aligns with the current trend of development in the area and will logically transition between the surrounding uses, including the higher intensity commercial uses to the north and east, the Village Park apartment complex to the west, the Hampton Knoll duplexes to the south, and the detached single-family homes the further south you move from Higgins Road. Townhomes are also an appropriate transitional use along a principal arterial roadway corridor like Higgins Road. Whereas the uses along Golf Road to the north and Roselle Road to the east are commercial/retail in nature, the Higgins Road corridor is generally more residential, hosting a variety of residential housing developments including apartments, duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, and single-family detached homes. Higgins Crossing will be served by a large stormwater detention basin located central to the development. This naturalized detention basin will include a variety of seed mixes and areas of open water, providing the community with an attractive open space feature. The detention basin will be maintained by the HOA to be formed for the development to ensure its proper function and sustained aesthetic appeal. Landscape treatments will be utilized throughout Higgins Crossing to enhance the visual appeal of the community, including a mix of parkway trees, shade trees, and shrubs. In addition to foundation plantings around each building, extra care has been taken to strategically incorporate significant landscaping along the Subject Property’s south and east property lines to screen the development from the adjacent uses and to create the feel of a residential enclave. 18 Page 34 of 110  c. Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as natural topography, vegetation and geologic features, and prevention of soil erosion. Higgins Crossing has been designed to preserve and enhance the desirable site characteristics such as natural topography, vegetation and geologic features, and prevention of soil erosion. The Subject Property has been historically used for car dealerships, such that there are minimal desirable topography, vegetation, or geological features. Regardless, the site will be developed consistent with best water quality, planning, and engineering practices and the development will incorporate natural features where feasible. Specifically, Higgins Crossing will be served by a large stormwater detention basin located central to the development. This naturalized detention basin will include a variety of seed mixes and areas of open water, providing the community with an attractive open space feature. The detention basin will be maintained by the HOA to be formed for the development to ensure its proper function and sustained aesthetic appeal. In addition, landscape treatments will also be utilized throughout Higgins Crossing to enhance the visual aesthetics of the community, including a mix of parkway trees, shade trees, and shrubs. Foundation plantings are planned around each building, and extra care has been taken to strategically incorporate significant landscaping along the Subject Property’s south and east property lines to screen the development from the adjacent uses and to create the feel of a residential enclave. d. Combination and coordination of architectural styles, building forms, and building relationships. The proposed development is consistent with current market trends. The architecture can be categorized as “timeless craftsman,” blending a variety of design features to create an attractive 19 Page 35 of 110 facade. The use of quality and low maintenance materials ensures the development will withstand the test of time. The townhomes will feature a mix of two and a half and three-story streetscapes consistent with market trends in the area and consumer demand. All units will be rear-loaded so no garages are visible to the public eye from Higgins Road and Evanston Street. The homes will feature three 3 floor plans with no less than 2 elevations each. The standard base unit will be comprised of 2 bedrooms, 2.5-3.5 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, with a 3rd bedroom and den option available. Square footages will range from approximately 1,650 square feet to 1,800 square feet. Architectural enhancements will include masonry, architectural shingle roofs, multiple roof peaks for added interest, a variety of window sizes, bump outs to break up the vertical plane, and a variety of siding types, including hardy board lap siding, board & batten, and shaker shingle. e. Provisions for the preservation and beneficial use of open space. The proposed Planned Development will provide for the preservation and beneficial use of open space. Historically, the Subject Property and the car dealerships located thereon provided little to no green space, with almost the entirety of the Subject Property consisting of buildings and surface parking. Unlike this historical use of the Subject Property, Higgins Crossing has been designed to incorporate open green space and vegetative features. Specifically, Higgins Crossing will be served by a large stormwater detention basin located central to the development. This naturalized detention basin will include a variety of seed mixes and areas of open water, providing the community with an attractive open space feature. The detention basin will be maintained by the HOA to be formed for the development to ensure its proper function and sustained aesthetic appeal. In addition, landscape treatments will also be utilized throughout Higgins Crossing to 20 Page 36 of 110 enhance the visual aesthetic of the community, including a mix of parkway trees, shade trees, and shrubs. Foundation plantings are planned around each building, and extra care has been taken to strategically incorporate significant landscaping treatments along the Subject Property’s south and east property lines to screen the development from the adjacent uses and to create the feel of a residential enclave. f. Encouragement of land uses that promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed Planned Development will encourage land uses that promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. Historically, the Subject Property has been utilized for operation of car dealerships. Over the course of the past decade, car dealerships and commercial/retail uses have gravitated north to Golf Road, rendering commercial use of the Subject Property obsolete and no longer viable. As a result, the Subject Property has remained unoccupied and underutilized for the last 5+ years. The Subject Property has not been well maintained during this timeframe – windows have been boarded up, vegetation has become overgrown, and the Subject Property has been the subject of multiple building code complaints and violations. Petitioner’s proposed development will facilitate demolition of the existing buildings on the Subject Property for its redevelopment, converting otherwise underperforming property for its highest and best use. In addition, the proposed development aligns with the current trend of development in the area and will logically transition between the surrounding uses, including the higher intensity commercial uses to the north and east, the Village Park apartment complex to the west, the Hampton Knoll duplexes to the south, and the detached single-family homes the further south you move from Higgins Road. 21 Page 37 of 110  Townhomes are also an appropriate transitional use along a principal arterial roadway corridor like Higgins Road. Whereas the uses along Golf Road to the north and Roselle Road to the east are commercial/retail in nature, the Higgins Road corridor is generally more residential, hosting a variety of residential housing developments including apartments, duplexes, townhomes, condominiums, and single-family detached homes. The proposed townhomes in Higgins Crossing will help support the existing commercial and retail uses in the area, including those along Golf Road and Roselle Road which are only a short walk away and easily accessible via the existing sidewalk network in the area. In addition to supporting the nearby commercial uses, the proposed development will enhance the Village’s revenue streams through new property, utility, and sales taxes. g. Support the economic development goals of the Village, as conveyed through the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, or other relevant adopted sub-area of strategic plans. The special use shall support the economic development goals of the Village as conveyed through the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, or other relevant adopted sub-area or strategic plans. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan is nearly 20 years old. The Comprehensive Plan designates the future use of the Subject Property as “Commercial,” which designation was consistent with the Subject Property’s use at the time of the Comprehensive Plan’s adoption in 2007. However, given the age of the Comprehensive Plan, it could not anticipate the subsequent 2008 market crash nor the changing trends in development for the Subject Property and the surrounding area, which changes effectively rendered use Subject Property for commercial/retail purposes obsolete. Still, the proposed development is consistent with the broader vision for the Village set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. As the Comprehensive Plan notes, “as the Village looks to the future, there will be a greater demand for a variety of housing types and price points to meet the market demand 22 Page 38 of 110 of the current demographic trends.” This sentiment is echoed in the Village’s Economic Development Strategic Plan and Residential Market Analysis.

Approval of a Master Sign Plan. Petitioner has submitted plans for a permanent monument identification sign as depicted in the Final Landscape Plan, as well as a separate Marketing Signage Packet (the monument sign and marketing signage shall collectively comprise the “Master Sign Plan”). Pursuant to Village Code Section 9-3-8M-4-h(3), the Village Board of Trustees is authorized to approve a Master Sign Plan if it is determined that implementation of the Master Sign Plan will: a. Result in architecture and graphics of a scale appropriate for the subject development and the surrounding area; The proposed signage will result in architecture and graphics of a scale appropriate for the subject development and the surrounding area. Petitioner proposes a monument identification sign for the development to be located at the development’s entrance from Higgins Road as depicted on the Final Landscape Plan included with the submittal material. The proposed monument sign will safely and efficiently direct visitors to the development. The proposed sign has been architecturally designed to complement the area and homes in the development, featuring mounted metal sign lettering and precast sign paneling. The sign also incorporates high end materials, including brick and precast concrete. In addition to the permanent monument identification sign to be located at the entrance from Higgins Road, Petitioner also proposes a number of temporary marketing signs as depicted on the Marketing Signage Packet included with the submittal material. The marketing signage includes billboard and flag signage, as well as model and sales center identification signs, a flag pole, and a model open banner. The proposed marketing signage will facilitate effective marketing 24 Page 40 of 110 of the development, which benefits both the Petitioner, Village, and neighbors by properly showcasing the development to expedite its full occupancy. The marketing signage shall be removed within 30 days of the last home in the development being sold. b. Provide signage consistent with the site plan and architecture of the project; The proposed signage is consistent with the site plan and architecture of the project. As noted, Petitioner proposes a monument identification sign for the development to safely and efficiently direct visitors to the development.

The sign also incorporates high end materials, including brick and precast concrete. In addition to the permanent monument sign, Petitioner also proposes a number of marketing signs. The proposed marketing signage will facilitate effective marketing of the development, expediting its full occupancy and ultimately helping to facilitate development of the Subject Property with its highest and best use with an additional housing option for Village residents and people looking to move to the community. c. Avoid visual clutter; The proposed signage will avoid visual clutter. Petitioner proposes a single monument identification sign for the development to be located at the entrance along Higgins Road. The sign is approximately 16’ x 12’ – an appropriate size and mass for the nature of the development and the sign’s location along a principal arterial roadway like Higgins Road. Likewise, the proposed marketing signage has been designed and positioned to avoid visual clutter. The marketing signage is limited in number and has been spread across the frontage of the community, with signage proposed at the north entrance, the northwest corner, the southwest corner, and near the proposed 25 Page 41 of 110 model home. As noted, the marketing signage will be removed within 30 days of the last home being sold in the community. d. Allow visitors, employees and consumers to readily identify the business entrances, while addressing the community's need for attractive, unobtrusive architecture and commercial graphics; and While this is a residential subdivision and not a commercial use, the proposed signage will allow visitors to readily identify the entrance to the subdivision while providing the community with attractive and unobtrusive signage. As noted, Petitioner proposes a monument identification sign for the development to be located at the entrance from Higgins Road to safely and efficiently direct visitors to the site. The proposed sign has been architecturally designed to complement the area and homes in the development, featuring mounted metal sign lettering and precast sign paneling. The sign also incorporates high end materials, including brick and precast concrete. In addition to the permanent monument sign, Petitioner also proposes a number of marketing signs. The proposed marketing signage will facilitate effective marketing of the development, expediting its full occupancy and ultimately helping to facilitate development of the Subject Property with its highest and best use with an additional housing option for Village residents and people looking to move to the community. The proposed signage is of appropriate size and mass for the nature of the development and the development’s location along a principal arterial roadway. e. Result in a unified theme of signage for the project. The proposed signage will result in a unified theme of signage for the project. As noted, the proposed monument sign has been designed to complement the homes within the subdivision and nature of the area. The monument sign features mounted metal sign lettering and precast sign paneling and incorporates high end materials, including brick and precast concrete. In addition, 26 Page 42 of 110 the proposed marketing signage will help expedite the development’s full occupancy and ultimately facilitate development of the Subject Property with its highest and best use with an additional housing option for Village residents and people looking to move to the community. WHEREFORE, by reason of the foregoing, and based on any testimony that may be proffered at the public hearing, the undersigned Petitioner requests the Village take the necessary steps for i) approval of a Final Plat of Subdivision; ii) approval of a Special Use Permit for a Planned Development; iii) approval of a Planned Development and associated deviations; iv) approval of a Master Sign Plan; and v) approval of such other relief from the Village Code as may be deemed necessary and appropriate to develop the Subject Property pursuant to the provisions of the Village Code as depicted on the development plans submitted herewith.

Introduction This report summarizes the methodologies, results, and findings of a traffic impact study conducted by Kenig, Lindgren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) for the proposed residential development to be located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. This site, which is currently occupied by two former car dealership buildings, is located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Higgins Road with Evanston Street and is proposed to contain 72 townhomes, each having two-car garages and two-car driveway spaces, and 23 guest parking spaces. Access to the site is proposed off Higgins Road via the existing three-quarter access drive and off Evanston Street via a proposed full-movement access drive. The purpose of this study was to examine background traffic conditions, assess the impact that the proposed development will have on traffic conditions in the area, and determine if any roadway or access improvements are necessary to accommodate traffic generated by the proposed development. Figure 1 shows the location of the site in relation to the area roadway system. Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the site. The sections of this report present the following: Existing roadway conditions A description of the proposed development Directional distribution of the development traffic Vehicle trip generation for the development Future traffic conditions including access to the development Traffic analyses for the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours Recommendations with respect to adequacy of the site access and adjacent roadway system Traffic capacity analyses were conducted for the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours for the following conditions: 1. Existing Conditions - Analyzes the capacity of the existing roadway system using existing peak hour traffic volumes in the surrounding area conducted in 2025. 2. No-Build Conditions - Analyzes the capacity of the existing roadway system using existing peak hour traffic volumes increased by a regional growth factor (growth not attributable to any particular development). 3. Future Conditions – Analyzes the projected traffic volumes which include the existing traffic volumes increased by an ambient area growth factor (growth not attributable to any particular development) and the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed subject development.

Traffic Characteristics of the Proposed Development In order to properly evaluate future traffic conditions in the surrounding area, it was necessary to determine the traffic characteristics of the proposed development, including the directional distribution and volumes of traffic that it will generate. Proposed Site and Development Plan As proposed, the site will be redeveloped with a residential development containing 72 townhomes, each having two-car garages and two-car driveway spaces, and 23 guest parking spaces. Access to the site will be provided via the following: An existing three-quarter access drive located approximately 805 feet west of Roselle Road and aligned with the Golf Center access road. This access drive provides one inbound lane and one outbound lane. The outbound movement from this access drive is limited to right- turns only and is under stop sign control. A proposed full-movement access drive to be located approximately 480 feet south of Higgins Road and will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound movements under stop sign control. This access drive will be aligned with the Village Park of Hoffman Estates apartment complex access drive located on the west side of Evanston Street. A copy of the site plan is included in the Appendix. Directional Distribution The directions from which residents of the proposed development will approach and depart the site were estimated based on existing travel patterns, as determined from the traffic counts and the location of the access drives. Figure 5 illustrates the directional distribution of the development- generated traffic. Estimated Site Traffic Generation The number of peak hour vehicle trips estimated to be generated by the proposed development was based on vehicle trip generation rates contained in Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Land-Use Code 215 (Single Family Housing - Attached) rates were utilized. Table 6 shows the estimated vehicle trip generation for the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours and on a daily basis.

The number of peak hour vehicle trips estimated to be generated by the previous land use was estimated based on vehicle trip generation rates contained in ITE Trip Generation Manual and are summarized in Table 7. As can be seen from Table 7, the proposed development is projected to generate approximately 60 percent less trips during the weekday morning peak hour and approximately 73 percent less trips during the evening peak hour than the previous land use. Additionally, on a daily basis, the proposed development will generated approximately 50 percent fewer trips.

Projected Traffic Conditions The total projected traffic volumes include the existing traffic volumes, increase in background traffic due to growth, and the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed subject development. Development Traffic Assignment The estimated weekday morning and evening peak hour traffic volumes that will be generated by the proposed development were assigned to the roadway system in accordance with the previously described directional distribution (Figure 5). The total new traffic assignment for the residential development is illustrated in Figure 6. Background (No-Build) Traffic Conditions The existing traffic volumes (Figure 4) were increased by a regional growth factor to account for the increase in existing traffic related to regional growth in the area (i.e., not attributable to any particular planned development). Based on 2050 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) projections provided by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) in a letter, the existing traffic volumes were increased by an annually compounded growth rate of 0.46 percent per year for six years totaling approximately three percent to represent Year 2031 no-build conditions. It should be noted that the background traffic includes the traffic estimated to be generated by a proposed commercial development to be located at 80 W. Higgins Road. A copy of the CMAP 2050 projections letter is included in the Appendix. Figure 7 illustrates the Year 2031 no-build traffic volumes. Total Projected Traffic Volumes The development-generated traffic (Figure 6) was added to the existing traffic volumes increased by a regional growth factor to determine the Year 2031 total projected traffic volumes, as illustrated in Figure 8. It should be noted that the traffic volumes that are currently being generated by the existing site were removed from the roadway system.

Traffic Analysis and Recommendations The following provides an evaluation conducted for the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours. The analysis includes conducting capacity analyses to determine how well the roadway system and access drives are projected to operate and whether any roadway improvements or modifications are required. Traffic Analyses Roadway and adjacent or nearby intersection analyses were performed for the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours for the existing, Year 2031 no-build, and future projected (Year 2031) traffic volumes. The traffic analyses were performed using the methodologies outlined in the Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 7th Edition and analyzed using Synchro/SimTraffic 12 computer software. The analysis for the signalized intersections of Higgins Road with Roselle Road and Grand Canyon Parkway were accomplished utilizing actual cycle lengths, phasings, and offsets. The analysis for the signalized intersection of Roselle Road with Bode Road were accomplished utilizing field measured cycle lengths, phasings, and offsets. The analyses for the unsignalized intersections determine the average control delay to vehicles at an intersection. Control delay is the elapsed time from a vehicle joining the queue at a stop sign (includes the time required to decelerate to a stop) until its departure from the stop sign and resumption of free flow speed. The methodology analyzes each intersection approach controlled by a stop sign and considers traffic volumes on all approaches and lane characteristics. The ability of an intersection to accommodate traffic flow is expressed in terms of level of service, which is assigned a letter from A to F based on the average control delay experienced by vehicles passing through the intersection. The Highway Capacity Manual definitions for levels of service and the corresponding control delay for signalized intersections and unsignalized intersections are included in the Appendix of this report. Summaries of the traffic analysis results showing the level of service and overall intersection delay (measured in seconds) for existing, Year 2031 no-build, and Year 2031 total projected conditions are presented in Tables 8 through 13. A discussion of the intersections follows. Summary sheets for the capacity analyses are included in the Appendix.

Higgins Road with Roselle Road The results of the capacity analysis indicate that overall, this signalized intersection currently operates at Level of Service (LOS) D during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours. All approaches operate at LOS D or better during the peak hours except for the southbound approach that operates at LOS E during both peak hours. Under Year 2031 no-build and total projected conditions, this intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS D during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours with increases in delay of less than two seconds over existing conditions. All approaches are projected to operate at LOS E or better during the peak hours. It should be noted that the proposed development will increase the traffic traversing this intersection by less than one percent during the peak hours. It should also be noted that the maximum 95th percentile queue for the eastbound through movement is projected to be approximately 185 feet during the weekday morning peak hour and will not extend to the location of the site access drive. As such, this intersection has adequate reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and no roadway improvements or signal modifications will be required. Higgins Road with Grand Canyon Parkway The results of the capacity analysis indicate that overall, this signalized intersection currently operates at LOS B during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours. All approaches operate at LOS D or better during the peak hours except for the northbound approach which operates at LOS E during both peak hours. Under Year 2031 no-build and total projected conditions, this intersection is projected to continue operating at LOS B during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours with increases in delay of less than one second over existing conditions. All approaches are projected to continue operating at the same existing level of service. It should be noted that the proposed development will increase the traffic traversing this intersection by less than one percent during the peak hours. As such, this intersection has adequate reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and no roadway improvements or signal modifications will be required. Roselle Road with Bode Road The results of the capacity analysis indicate that overall, this signalized intersection currently operates at LOS A during the weekday morning peak hour and LOS B during the weekday evening peak hour. All approaches operate at LOS D or better during the peak hours. Residential Development Hoffman Estates, Illinois 26 Page 102 of 110 Under Year 2031 no-build and total projected conditions, this intersection is projected to continue operating at the same existing levels of service during both peak hours with increases in delay of less than two seconds over existing conditions. All approaches are projected to continue operating at the existing same level of service. It should be noted that the proposed development will increase the traffic traversing this intersection by less than one percent during the peak hours. As such, this intersection has adequate reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and no roadway improvements or signal modifications will be required. Higgins Road with Evanston Street The results of the capacity analysis indicate that currently the northbound approach currently operates at LOS A during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours and will continue to do so under Year 2031 no-build and total projected conditions with minimal increases in delay. It should be noted that the 95th percentile queue for the northbound approach is projected to be one to two vehicles during both peak hours and will not extend to the location of the proposed access drive. As such, this intersection has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and no roadway improvements or traffic control modifications will be required. Higgins Road with Golf Center Access Road/Site Access Drive The results of the capacity analysis indicate that currently the northbound and southbound approaches operate at LOS B or better during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours while the westbound and eastbound left-turn movements operate at LOS C or better during both peak hours. Under Year 2031 no-build conditions, all approaches and their critical movements are projected to continue operating at the same existing level of service during both peak hours with increases in delay of less than two seconds over existing conditions. Under Year 2031 total projected conditions, the northbound and southbound approaches are projected to operate at LOS B or better during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours. The eastbound and westbound left-turn movements are projected to operate at LOS C or better during both peak hours with 95th percentile queues of one to two vehicles during both peak hours which will be accommodated via the existing left-turn lanes along Higgins Road. The total projected traffic volumes were compared to the right-turn lane warrant criteria summarized in Chapter 36 of the IDOT Bureau of Design and Environment (BDE) manual. The comparison indicated that an exclusive right-turn lane will not be warranted along Higgins Road to serve this access drive. As such, this intersection has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and will ensure efficient and flexible access to the site is provided.

Under Year 2031 no-build and total projected conditions, the northbound approach and the westbound left-turn movement are projected to continue operating at the same existing levels of service during both peak hours with increases in delay of less than one second over existing conditions. As such, this intersection has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and no roadway improvements or traffic control modifications will be required. Bode Road with Evanston Street (East Intersection) The results of the capacity analysis indicate that currently the southbound approach operates at LOS B during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours while the eastbound left- turn movement operates at LOS A during both peak hours. Under Year 2031 no-build and total projected conditions, the southbound approach is projected to operate at LOS B/C during the weekday morning peak hour and LOS B during the weekday evening peak hour while the eastbound left-turn movement is projected to operate at LOS A during both peak hours. As such, this intersection has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and no roadway improvements or traffic control modifications will be required. Evanston Street with Village Park Access Drive/Site Proposed Access Drive The results of the capacity analysis indicate that currently the eastbound approach and the northbound left-turn movement operate at LOS A during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours and will continue to do so under Year 2031 no-build conditions. Under Year 2031 total projected conditions and with the full buildout of the proposed development, a proposed full-movement access drive will become the fourth leg of this intersection and will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound movements under stop sign control. The results of the capacity analysis indicate that all the approaches and their critical movements are projected to operate at LOS A during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours. The 95th percentile queues for the northbound and southbound left-turn movements are projected to be one to two vehicles during both peak hours and will not interrupt the traffic flow along Evanston Street. As such, this intersection has sufficient reserve capacity to accommodate the traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed development and will ensure efficient and flexible access to the site is provided.

Conclusion Based on the preceding analyses and recommendations, the following conclusions have been made: As proposed, the existing site, which contains two former car dealership buildings, will be redeveloped to provide 72 townhomes units. The traffic that will be generated by the proposed development will be less than the previous use on site. The traffic that will be generated by the proposed residential development can be accommodated by the existing area roadway system. Access to the proposed development will be provided via the following: o An existing three-quarter access drive located approximately 805 feet west of Roselle Road and aligned with the Golf Center access road. This access drive provides one inbound lane and one outbound lane. The outbound movement from this access drive is limited to right-turns only and is under stop sign control. o A proposed full-movement access drive located approximately 480 feet south of Higgins Road that will provide one inbound lane and one outbound lane with the outbound movements under stop sign control. This access drive will be aligned with the Village Park of Hoffman Estates apartment complex located on the west side of Evanston Street. The access system will be adequate in accommodating the traffic projected to be generated by the proposed residential development and will ensure efficient and flexible access to the site.
