1) 1995 TAX LEVY
Administrator Van Vooren informed the Board that the Village of Plainfield is required to
adopt its 1995 Tax Levy by the last Thursday of December. The Village has reviewed the
estimated tax rate as prepared by Staff and authorized this Public Hearing. The purpose of
the Public Hearing was to comply with the Truth in Taxation Legislation which mandates
the Public Hearing when the proposed tax extension exceeds 105% of the previous year
extensions. The 1995 Tax Levy anticipates extending a total of $880,329 from real property
within the corporate limits of Plainfield. This represents a 10.97% increase in tax receipts
over the 1994 year. In the calculation of this Tax Levy Staff has used the following growth
assumptions: 1) 1994 property values will increase by 4%; 2) 1994 Operating Extension will
increase due to tax cap by 2.7%; 3) New construction for 1995 will equal $13,750,000 of
E.A.V.; 4) New Annexation for 1995 will equal $400,000. With the given assumption the
operating levy for 1995 will increase by $94,811 which was distributed to the General
Carp., Police, Immunity, IMRF and Police Pension levies.

maintained swim club on 5 acres located at the intersection of Meadow Lane and "K" street.
A 12.03 acre school site contribution is proposed for an area centrally located in the
subdivision, north of "K" Street and west of Meadow Lane. The development includes 718
total dwelling units. The Annexation Agreement shall have a 20 year term. Annexation
Agreements have recently included provisions for floor area ratio standards. An appropriate
ratio would be 30% floor area to lot size ratio. The general layout of roadway systems and
development concepts are found to be acceptable. Staff recommends approval of the
Annexation of the 285 acre site, based upon the finding that the property is a logical
extension of the current Village boundaries. Staff would recommend approval of
establishment of Res. ASingle-family zoning over the site, based upon the finding that this
zoning is consistent with the Villages' Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with current
surrounding land uses.
