Mayor Forrest's Statement
Impact,Fee Ordinance
August 2, 1993 Village Board Meeting
I am requesting this evening that the Village Board direct the Village Attorney to
work with staff in drafting a Residential Development Impact Fee Ordinance for Deerfield.
As you know, this has been an important issue for local governments, and particularly
schools, in recent years. Although the Village in the past has always negotiated developer
contributions of land and'money, a formal policy should be established at this time.
There are several reasons why an impact fee ordinance should be enacted:
1. New residential units should contribute to the prior investment made by the
various local governments in their respective infrastructures.
2. Due to our property tax system, there is a substantial delay from when the
development goes on the tax rolls and when property tax disbursements are
received.
3. There is a need to preserve open space and /or reserve funds for acquiring
property for public uses. Moreover, expenditures needed to expand existing
facilities or build new ones should be paid by those who will receive the benefit.
Most of the neighboring communities have impact fees or require contributions as
part of the development approval process. The clear trend in municipal finance is renewed
emphasis on assessing those who benefit most from capital improvements. Whether it be
in the form of land donation or cash contributions, new developments should be required
to pay their own way.
Therefore, I urge the Board to pass a motion this evening authorizing the
preparation of an ordinance requiring development impact fees in Deerfield.

SPECIAL USE AMENDMENT Petitioners are consolidating their bank
DRIVE -UP ATM - FIRST on Lake Cook Road into their facility at
CHICAGO OF DEERFIELD 630 Waukegan Road. To reduce congestion
in the lobby, the petitioners plan to
remove the lobby ATM and install a third drive -up lane exclusively
for the ATM. The parking lot would be redesigned and changed to
one -way traffic flow. Left turns into the facility from Osterman
Avenue would be prohibited. At peak hours left turns from the
facility onto Waukegan Road would be prohibited and existing gates
opened to permit exit into the alley at the south.
The Plan Commission recommended approval of petitioner's request
for an amendment to a previously approved Special Use for proposed
changes to the existing facility, recommended left turns be
prohibited from the subject property onto Waukegan Road from 3 P.M.
to 6 P.M. on weekday afternoons and from 9 A.M. to noon on
Saturdays, and left turns into the facility from Osterman Avenue be
prohibited at all times. Plan Commission also recommended amending
the Zoning Ordinance to include a drive -up ATM as a Special Use in
the C -1 Village Center District and approval of petitioner's plans
for a drive -up ATM. The Village Center Development Commission
approved petitioner's request for an amendment to a Special Use and
recommended that signs be posted prohibiting left turns from the
property as indicated above, that petitioners hire a Deerfield
police officer to direct traffic on Saturdays for at least one
month after the changes are made to the site or longer if the
traffic situation dictates the need for one, the existing bushes on
the south side of the property be donated to the cemetery.
Greg Furda, attorney representing First National Bank of Chicago
discussed the bank's consolidation plan and its decision to remove
the ATM from the lobby and add a third drive -up lane exclusively
for the ATM. He discussed the difficulties with peak hour
ingress /egress and displayed the proposed reconfiguration of the
traffic flow. Vitas Maciukevicius, traffic consultant, reviewed
the traffic impact study that was made.
Mayor Forrest requested petitioner provide a report six months from
the time the plan is put into effect with regard to the traffic
from the Bank. Trustee Heuberger suggested the restriction hours
on Friday be extended to 7 PM and no exit be permitted to the
alley.
Trustee Seidman moved, seconded by Trustee Ehlers, that the
recommendations of the Plan Commission and VCDC approving request
for an amendment to a previously approved Special Use for proposed
changes to the existing facility be approved and left turns be
prohibited from the subject property into Waukegan Road from 3 PM
to 7 PM on weekdays and from 9 AM to noon on Saturdays, and that
left turns into the facility from Osterman Avenue be prohibited.
Further, the Attorney is to be directed to prepare the necessary
Ordinance.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RE Trustee Swanson commented on the
NORTHWEST CORNER OF LAKE paragraph "Areas to the North and West"
COOK AND PFINGSTEN ROADS in Possible Development Area #10. The
words "low density* and "small scale *"
refer to the 1979 Comprehensive Plan where low density and small
scale means less than five single family dwelling units per acre.
This conflicts with the Preferred Land Use Options which states
"Plans which incorporate creative design elements such as common
open areas, innovative building configurations, and efficient site
utilization will be encouraged."
This will stand as a first reading.
