VILLAGE OF PLAINFIELD )
PETITION TO THE VILLAGE OF PLAINFIELD BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FOR DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL FOR
TILDEN PLACE
THE UNDERSIGNED Petitioner, M/I Homes of Chicago, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (hereinafter “the Petitioner”), as the contract purchaser of the property legally described
on Exhibit A (the “Subject Property”), respectfully petitions the Village of Plainfield (the
“Village”) to: (i) approve a special use for a planned unit development for the development of the
Subject Property consisting of a 168 townhome residential community with associated deviations
as depicted on the Preliminary PUD Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “PUD Plan”); (ii)
approve a preliminary plat of subdivision, attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Subdivision Plat”);
and (iii) approve such other relief from the Village of Plainfield Municipal Code (“Code”) as may
be deemed necessary and appropriate to develop the Subject Property consistent with the plans
submitted herewith.
In support of this Petition, the Petitioner states to the Village of Plainfield the following:
1. Chicago Title Land Trust Company, as Trustee under Trust Agreement dated
March 31, 2014 and known as Trust Number 8002364199 (“Owner”) is the owner of the Subject
Property.
2. The Subject Property consists of approximately 38 acres of vacant land at
the southeast corner of Steiner Road and 143rd Street.
3. The Subject Property was annexed to the Village, zoned R-1 PUD at that
time, and approved for 252 townhomes in 2004 by annexation agreement and has sat vacant and
underperforming for the past 19 years.
11

4. The Petitioner, M/I Homes of Chicago, LLC, is a Delaware limited liability
company with offices located at 2135 City Gate Lane, Suite 620, Naperville, IL 60563.
5. Petitioner is the contract purchaser of the Subject Property.
6. Petitioner seeks to acquire the Subject Property for the purpose of
developing a residential subdivision in the Village of Plainfield comprised of 168 townhomes
which is considerably less dense than the existing approvals (“Intended Use”).
7. The existing land uses surrounding the Subject Property are as follows:
a. North: R1– Low Density Single-Family Residential District; North of
143rd Street (Heritage Woods of Plainfield & Dayfield); R-1 PUD; and
B3 Highway Business District (Diageo).
b. East: R1– Low Density Single-Family Residential District (Liberty
Grove Subdivision).
c. South: R1 PUD (DRH Greenbriar); Will County A-1 Agricultural
d. West: I1 PUD – Office, Research, and Light Industrial District (zoning

8. The Subject Property is zoned as R1 PUD.
9. Petitioner seeks to develop the Subject Property in the R1 PUD District
with a special use for a planned unit development.
10. The proposed entitlement requests meet all Village and State requirements
for the development of property and will facilitate the beneficial use of the Subject Property as
stated below.
SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT
The Petitioner and builder is M/I Homes of Chicago, LLC (“M/I”). M/I has been building
12
3
homes in the Chicagoland area for about 15 years, and in that time it has become a top 2
homebuilder in Illinois, with many active communities throughout the Chicagoland area, including
both the Chatham Square and Lansdowne communities in Plainfield which have been great
additions to the Plainfield community and very well received in the marketplace. M/I brings
decades of construction and development experience to each project and has found success
building communities that offer quality housing options designed to serve individuals at various
stages of their lives. M/I looks forward to providing a new housing option for existing Plainfield
residents as well as those that would like to live in a well-respected municipality with excellent
schools and park facilities.
By way of background, the Subject Property was included as Pod 12 in the 2004 annexation
agreement (Ordinance 2392) and was approved for 252 townhomes at that time. The current
Development proposes only 168 townhomes, which is approximately 66.6% of the approved
density, representing a significant reduction. Also pursuant to the annexation agreement, M/I will
be dedicating 50’ of right-of-way adjacent to the center line of 143rd St. Currently, 143rd Street
has been improved along the north property line of the Subject Property, and the new pavement
section and improvements are located on the Subject Property. M/I will dedicate 50’ of right-of-
way to address this issue, so the roadway will then be located on Village owned land.
As mentioned above, M/I requests Village approval of the new residential community
which consists of one hundred sixty eight (168) single-family townhomes located on
approximately 38 acres (the “Development”). As it sits today, the Subject Property consists of
vacant land which is surrounded by a mix of uses including low density single-family homes in
both Heritage Woods of Plainfield, and Dayfield to the north, along with Diageo in the highway
business district; DRH Greenbriar subdivision (R1 PUD) and agricultural uses to the south; low
13
4
density single-family homes (Liberty Grove subdivision) to the east; and light industrial and
agricultural uses to the west. The proposed Development is consistent with the residential nature
of the surrounding area and trend of development in the area and will provide a nice transition
from Liberty Grove to the east to 143rd to the west. Additionally, it is important to point out the
considerable distance to the Liberty Grove subdivision to the east, which is approximately 200’
away due to the park site and path improvements which M/I proposes along the east property line
to provide additional separation for the existing residents of Liberty Grove. Given its location and
surrounding uses, the Subject Property presents an excellent canvas on which to meet a significant
community need by creating a housing opportunity that is suitable for many types of homebuyers
including some of the fastest growing housing segments of Plainfield’s population – young
professionals, young families and empty nesters.
The Development will consist of variations within two townhome offerings, with all
buildings containing 4 units or less units in conformance with Village code. The first series offered
will be the Charleston Series which consists of traditional two-story townhomes located on the
north half of the Subject Property and will offer three options: (i) Ainslie, which is 1,500 sq. ft.
with two bedrooms and a two car garage, (ii) Braeden, which is 1,781 sq. ft. with 2-3 bedrooms
and a two car garage, and (iii) Campbell, which is 2,025 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and a two car
garage. Along the south half of the Subject Property will be the “Homestead Series” which
consists of ranch villa townhomes and will offer three options ranging from 1496 sq. ft. to 1727
sq. ft., all with two bedrooms and a two car garage and first floor master bedrooms. With these
varying housing options, Tilden Place will add to the diversity of the Village’s housing stock and
meet the various needs/desires of a broad buyer pool, including first time homebuyers, move-up
homebuyers and those buyers looking for age-targeted retirement-focused options.

With regard to architecture, Tilden Place will deliver well-designed floor plans, a rich and
full complement of interior fit and finishes, and attractive exterior architecture that draws
inspiration from the modern trends to create a complementary design with the overall area. The
two distinct and identifiable neighborhoods will complement the two series of homes and will
offer six (6) different floor plans and three (3) distinct styles of architecture including traditional,
urban farmhouse, and cottage styles. This avoids monotony and will deliver a fresh style and color
palette that Plainfield can be proud of. The architecture will further ensure lasting value through
the use of quality materials that require low maintenance and withstand the test of time.
The Development will be subject to a homeowners association responsible for open space,
landscape maintenance, and snow removal, as well as exterior maintenance items. In addition to
the limited maintenance associated with a new home, homebuyers will be particularly attracted by
the Subject Property’s close proximity to shopping and dining options offered in downtown
Plainfield and the extraordinary Plainfield School District.
At the core of the community is park space, naturalized storm water management areas,
and open space. In total, approximately 41% of the Subject Property’s acreage is being dedicated
to open space. A 4.63 acre park site will be improved with a path system by M/I in coordination
with the Plainfield Park District and then dedicated to the Park District. A preliminary park plan,
which includes a walking path, is attached hereto as Exhibit D as part of the landscape plans. In
addition to connecting to the interior sidewalks in the Development, the path will connect to 143rd
St. to the north along the Liberty Grove subdivision, and also to the future Greenbriar subdivision
to the south. These open space improvements are well-coordinated and located to create an
extraordinary space that will help truly build a community within Tilden Place. Additionally, open
space areas owned and managed by the homeowner’s association will be located central to the site
15
6
providing for additional recreational options for the residents. A large stormwater management
area will be located along 143rd Street to provide additional separation for the Subject Property
from 143rd as well as an appealing view corridor as vehicles pass by.
With regard to access, there will be full access points from both Steiner Road with a
boulevard style entrance as well as a full access point from 143rd Street providing for ample
circulation. Both Steiner Road and 143rd adjacent to the Subject Property have been improved
consistent with the Village’s transportation plans.
APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE FOR A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
1. A special use is required for approval of a planned development.
2. A planned development is required to establish a site plan for the Development and to
approve deviations from the Code as more specifically detailed herein.
3. The Petitioner meets the standards for a special use as follows:
a. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in
the immediate area for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish
property values with the neighborhood; and
The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of nearby properties. The
Subject Property has existed as undeveloped vacant farmland since the neighboring residential
subdivisions were subsequently developed. The trend of development in this area has been and
continues to be residential in this quadrant of the Village as evidenced by Liberty Grove to the
east, Greenbriar to the south and Dayfield to the north. The planned unit development aligns with
the vision that the Village outlined in the Comprehensive Plan for the Subject Property. Over 15
acres of the Subject Property is dedicated to open space containing a park and walking paths. This
combination of land uses will help to make Tilden Place a desired neighborhood in which to live.
The townhomes will target a variety of homebuyers. By addressing the needs of various
16
7
homebuyers in Plainfield, the special use will not diminish nearby property values.
b. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of the adjacent properties for uses permitted in the
subject zoning district.
The special use will not impede orderly development and improvement of the adjacent
properties. Petitioner’s proposed Development is consistent with the Village’s Comprehensive
Plan, which designates the Subject Property as Medium Density Residential, and annexation
agreement which permits a density far exceeding Petitioner’s proposal. Petitioner’s proposed plan
is entirely consistent with said designation, and the adjacent properties to the north, east, and south
have all been developed for residential use. The Development density of 4.54 units per acre is
significantly below the 6.6 du/acre density previously approved in the annexation agreement.
Given the Village’s vision for the Subject Property, as well as the value of offering multiple
housing types, the petitioner believes that the Development is an appropriate use for the Subject
Property.
The planned development meets the findings of fact as follows:
a. The PD fulfills the objectives of the comprehensive plan and the land use policies
of the Village and presents an innovative and creative approach to the development
of land and living environment; and
The Comprehensive Plan envisions a medium density residential development. Given the
opportunity that lies with the Subject Property to provide housing options to multiple segments of
the population in close proximity to the downtown area, coupled with the residential land uses
surrounding the Subject Property to the north, east, and south, the most appropriate land use for
the Subject Property is medium density residential.
As outlined above, the proposed Development is designed and configured to provide two
housing options, traditional and ranch townhomes, arranged around open space which will serve a
17
8
broad pool of potential buyers and help to diversify the Village’s housing stock. Located along
improved roadways in close proximity to downtown Plainfield, the development plan provides
landscaped perimeter buffers that will serve dual purposes of insulating the residential
neighborhood and creating a quality external aesthetic.
The Petitioner has designed the community with a pedestrian path within the 15 acres of
open space to create an integrated and walkable community with usable and accessible common
open space above and beyond applicable regulations. Future plans will connect this walkway with
the Greenbriar subdivision to the south to provide walkable access to the downtown area as
encouraged in the Comprehensive Plan
b. The proposed land uses fulfill, or can reasonably be expected to fulfill a need or
demand for such uses within the Village; and
The single-family market in the Village has been a successful market reflective of the
demand for housing in this area. The most recent Village demographics indicate 45-54 year-olds
are the largest age population living in Plainfield, making up just over 18% of the Village
population1. The 25-34 and 35-44 age cohorts are the second and third largest population segments
in the Village. Collectively, these groups represent nearly 43% of the Village’s population and
represent great opportunity for future growth. Tilden Place is designed to meet the needs within
these age cohorts with a low-maintenance product in the townhomes.
c. The physical design of the PD efficiently utilizes the land, adequately provides for
transportation and public facilities, and preserves natural features of the site, and
that the property is suitable for the proposed purposes and land uses; and
The design of the proposed planned development efficiently utilizes the Subject Property
while protecting natural features throughout the site. Petitioner will establish pedestrian
connections throughout 15 acres of parks and naturalized detention areas. The 4.63 acre park site
1 https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?g=1600000US1760287&tid=ACSDP5Y2020.DP05
18
9
will be improved by M/I in coordination with the Plainfield Park District and will include a variety
of different park improvements.
The proposed Development will be served by public water and sanitary systems, and a
modern stormwater management system will be integral to the Development. The Development
has been designed to create an efficient traffic flow and contains curvatures in the roadways to
avoid speeding.
d. Any exceptions to bulk and density regulations of the underlying zoning shall be
solely for the purpose of promoting an efficient and coordinated site plan, no less
beneficial to the residents or occupants of such development, as well as the
neighboring property, than would be obtained under the bulk and density
regulations of this ordinance for buildings developed on separate zoning lots.
Petitioner proposes several exceptions from the underlying zoning ordinance and other
applicable codes and ordinances as a result of the Village’s practice of designating all residential
PUDs R-1 despite the nature of the land use being proposed. Petitioner believes that the proposed
exceptions will promote a more efficient design that appropriately prioritizes open space. The
design will also benefit neighboring property by virtue of creating common areas and walking
paths that can be utilized by neighboring residents. The following exceptions are necessary and
appropriate to facilitate development of the Subject Property:
1. Section 9-52: Residential Density. Petitioner proposes to increase the permitted Residential
Density for the Subject Property from 3 dwelling units per acre to 4.54 dwelling units per
acre. This overall density is significantly less than the 6.6 dwelling units per acre density
currently approved by the annexation agreement.
2. Section 9-54: Minimum Lot Size. Petitioner proposes to reduce the minimum lot size from
12,000 square feet to 2,419 square feet. The reduced lot is a result of M/I’s practice of
19
10
subdividing each townhome lot so that each owner has fee simple title and a parcel
identification number is issued for real estate tax purposes.
3. Section 9-54: Minimum Lot Width. Petitioner proposes to reduce the minimum homesite
width from 85 feet to 24 feet. The reduced width is a result of M/I’s practice of subdividing
each townhome lot so that each owner has fee simple title and a parcel identification
number is issued for real estate tax purposes.
4. Section 9-54: Minimum Front Yard Setback. Petitioner proposes to reduce the required
front yard setback from 30 feet to 25 feet.
5. Section 9-54: Minimum Rear Yard Setback. Petitioner proposes to reduce the required
front yard setback from 30 feet to 8 feet. The reduced setback is a result of M/I’s practice
of subdividing each townhome lot so that each owner has fee simple title and a parcel
identification number is issued for real estate tax purposes. This measurement is relative
to the distance from the rear of the home to the townhome pad lot. The measurement from
the rear of the building to the perimeter property line shall meet and exceed the 30’
requirement consistent with the intent of Village code.
6. Section 9-54: Minimum Interior Side Setback. Petitioner proposes to reduce the required
interior side setback from 7 feet to 5 feet. The reduced setback is a result of M/I’s practice
of subdividing each townhome lot so that each owner has fee simple title and a parcel
identification number is issued for real estate tax purposes.
7. Section 9-54: Maximum Building Coverage. Petitioner proposes to increase the maximum
area coverage from thirty percent (30%) to sixty percent (60%). The increase in maximum
area coverage is directly correlated to how the property is subdivided. Overall, 41% of the
entire Subject Property is open space.
20
11
8. Section 9-54: Maximum Impervious Area Coverage. Petitioner proposes to increase the
maximum impervious area coverage from thirty percent (30%) to eighty percent (80%)
The requested exception will not impact the function of stormwater improvements
incorporated as part of the overall subdivision as an integral part of the project. The
increase in maximum area coverage is directly correlated to how the Subject Property is
subdivided. Overall, 41% of the entire Subject Property is open space.
9. Section 9.14: Minimum Distance of Porches, Patios & Decks from Rear Property Line.
Petitioner proposes to decrease the distance of porches, patios and decks from 15 feet to 5
feet.
10. Building to Building Distances:
a. Building side to side = 20’
b. Building side to rear = 40’
c. Building front to front = 110’
d. Building rear to rear = 50’
e. Building side to front = 100’
11. Section 9-17 to eliminate the requirement for side loaded, rear loaded or recessed garages
as depicted on the PUD Plan and to approve the Tilden Place elevations as defined herein,
subject to the Petitioner’s anti-monotony provisions
12. Section 9-130 shall not apply to the Subject Property. No tree survey or replacement trees
shall be required.
13. Section 9-23 to permit sales signage as depicted in the Proposed Signage Plan submitted
herewith.
21
12
14. Section 9-124.(5)(b) to permit parkway trees with a minimum caliper of 2.5” instead of
3.0”
15. Section 7-203 to permit deviations from Minimum Standards for Streets: Petitioner
proposes to reduce the right-of-way dimension from sixty-six feet (66’) to sixty feet (60’).
The reduced right-of-way still accommodates necessary public improvements including
roadway, sidewalk, sanitary service, water service and street trees. The reduction in right-
of-way will not be discernable or otherwise negatively impair the provision of public
services to the subdivision.
16. Section 7-203(h) Petitioner proposes 8’ wide bike paths in lieu of 10’ wide bike paths.
17. Cul-De-Sac right of way radius of 60’.
18. Centerline radius for 90-degree turns of 90’.
19. Centerline radius for curves greater than 90 degrees of 90’.
e. The PD meets the requirements and standards of the planned development
regulations; and
The proposed planned development complies with the requirements and standards of the
planned development regulations set forth in the Code.
f. Open spaces and recreational facilities are provided; and
Approximately 15 acres of the Subject Property will be reserved for common open space.
These spaces will include a naturalized stormwater management basin, various HOA managed
open space, and 4.63 acres of park site developed in coordination with the Plainfield Park District,
which will include a walking path that connects to 143rd Steet to the Liberty Grove subdivision
and the future Greenbriar subdivision.
g. The PD is compatible with the adjacent properties and the neighborhood, and
along the periphery of the PD yards or setbacks shall be provided that meet or
exceed the regulations of the district in which the PD is located.
22
13
The planned development is compatible with adjacent properties and neighborhoods
because adjacent properties to the north, south, and east are residential communities.
APPROVAL OF A PERMITTED VARIATION FROM VILLAGE ORDINANCES
UNDER SECTION 9-45(3)
1. Under Article IV, Planned Developments, Petitioner may request and the Village may grant
a variation from Village Code for land uses that are not permitted in the district the development
is proposed.
2. Petitioner is proposing a townhome development in R-1 where townhomes are not listed
as a permitted use.
3. The land use meets the requirements for granting a variation as follows:
a. The proposed land uses are necessary or desirable and are appropriate with respect to
the primary purpose of the PD; and
The purpose of a planned development is to provide creative approaches to residential
development of land. By incorporating variations in housing options within the proposed
Development, Petitioner is providing a creative alternative to traditional residential development
by meeting the diverse needs of a broad buyer pool. Petitioner is cognizant of Plainfield’s needs
and desire to provide additional housing targeting a variety of buyers which include age-targeted
options with limited maintenance. In addition, Petitioner is providing an efficient use of land by
providing significant recreational and open space opportunities to the residents of the subdivision,
including the walking path interconnecting throughout and around the community.
b. The proposed land uses are not of such a nature or so located as to exercise a
detrimental influence on the surrounding neighborhood.
Permitting the townhomes in the community will not exercise a detrimental influence on the
surrounding neighborhood. The adjacent land use to the east is the Liberty Grove subdivision,
23
14
with the Greenbriar planned for the south.
APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF SUBDIVISION
1. Petitioner seeks approval of the Preliminary Plat of Subdivision, a copy of which has been
submitted herewith, to subdivide the Subject Property to allow the construction of 168 dwelling
units and associated outlots that will be maintained by a homeowner’s association that will be
formed for the subdivision.
2. The proposed subdivision meets the standards for a subdivision consistent with the
standards set forth in the Code.
WHEREFORE, by reason of the foregoing, the undersigned Petitioner requests
the City Council and Plan Commission take the necessary steps to: (i) approve a special use for a
planned unit development for the development of the Subject Property consisting of a 168
townhome residential development with associated deviations as depicted on the Preliminary PUD
Plan; (ii) approve a preliminary plat of subdivision; and (iii) approve such other relief from the
Village of Plainfield Municipal Code as may be deemed necessary and appropriate to develop the
Subject Property.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 25th day of August, 2023.

MEMORANDUM
To: Jonathan Proulx
Village of Plainfield
From: Michael May, M.S.C.E., P.E.
CEMCON, Ltd.
Cc: Greg Collins – M/I Homes
Vince Rosanova – Rosanova & Whitaker
Date: August 15, 2018
Subject: Lockley Park, Plainfield, IL. CEMCON Project No.: 743.030
This memorandum summarizes the results of a trip generation study conducted for the proposed project,
a single-family attached development at the corner of 143Rd Street and Stainer Rd. The 38.3-acre site is
proposed to have 168 single-family attached townhomes.
The purpose of the analysis is to evaluate the traffic generated by single-family attached as it compares
to single-family detached in general as well as provide a comparison of the proposed Lockley Park
Townhome Community to the Greenbriar Subdivision (Single-family detached) immediately to the south of
the project. The number of trips to be generated were calculated using rates published in the manual Trip
Generation, 11th Edition, by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). As shown in Table 1,
generally single family detached generates approximately 30% more total trips per day and over 40%
more trips in the peak hour given the same number of units than single family attached. Looking
specifically at the comparison between Greenbriar and the proposed Lockley Park Subdivision traffic as
shown on Table 2, Greenbriar will generate approximately 43% more total trips per day than Lockley
Park. During the Peak hour Greenbriar will generate over double the number of trips than Lockley Park.
