BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to develop Unit 10 of Springbank as an age -targeted development of
107 single-family detached lots. The applicant has submitted a proposed annexation agreement
amendment to specifically authorize and approve the development plan, including lot sizes and
setbacks, as illustrated on the site plan to the annexation agreement amendment (Exhibit C-1). If
the amendment is approved, the applicant would follow up with an application for special use for
planned development and preliminary/final plat.
Unit 10 of Springbank is approximately 48 acres of undeveloped land east of Drauden Road. The
parcel includes a portion of the west bank of the DuPage River, although the site is raised up from
the river by 10 feet or more. The adjacent land uses, zoning, and street classifications are below.
North: Single-family detached (R-1)
East: Single-family detached (Will County E-2)
South: Undeveloped/agricultural (R-1
West: Drauden Road (Major Collector)

DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to the annexation agreement for Springbank
to permit construction of 107 ranch -style, single-family detached homes in an age -targeted
development. The overall Springbank project was annexed in 2004 and includes approximately,
1,880 homes, primarily single-family detached lots. The Village Board considered a concept plan
for the project at the January 27, 2020 meeting of the Committee of the Whole. The applicant has
modified the plans to respond to recommendations provided by staff and trustees to the initial
concept plan. Specifically, the smallest floor plan has been omitted and the ranch homes now range
in size from 1,337 sf to 1,723 sf.
ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment to the annexation agreement sets forth the following:
• The builder is required to develop the project as a special use for planned development
and the Village agrees to approve the special use provided the subsequent application is
consistent with the annexation agreement amendment.
• The Village agrees to approve the proposed site plan and commits to approving the
future preliminary and final plat consistent with the site plan.
• The Village agrees to approve the architectural plans and product details outlined in
Exhibit B to the annexation agreement amendment. These include the identification of
approximately 14 lots as key lots to receive enhanced architectural and landscape
treatment and minimum six-inch (6") eave line.
• The builder is required to establish covenants with a number of provisions, which will
implement the age -targeted nature of the project. For example, sheds, pools, trampolines,
basketball hoops and fences (excluding invisible fences) shall be prohibited. In addition,
the HOA shall be responsible for exterior landscape and snow removal maintenance.
Regarding the site plan, the neighborhood has two points of access: a full boulevard access point
at Drauden Road aligns with Rock Drive to the west. A secondary access connection is also
proposed at Forest Edge Drive in the northwest corner of the development. The plan proposes a
path loop in the southwest area of the development as well as a path looping around the proposed
detention in the southeast corner.
Staff supports the proposed development. Staff believes the age -targeted nature of the project
would diversify the Village's housing options and provide for what is currently an unmet need.
There is a surplus of conventional single-family detached lots approved for Springbank. The
development would have a positive impact on District 202, as the project would generate payment
of impact fees and property taxes with very little impact on the school district.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Staff supports the proposed amendment to the annexation agreement. In advance of any public
comment and discussion by the Village Board, staff recommends approval. Should the Board of
Trustees concur, the following motion is offered for your consideration:

I move we direct the Village Attorney to prepare an ordinance granting approval of the proposed
second amendment to the annexation agreement for Springbank of Plainfield to authorize
development of an age -targeted neighborhood of up to 107 homes in Springbank Unit 10.
