1. Require a creative and sustainable residential, commercial or industrial development.
2. To thoughtfully build and use the land in a responsible and sustainable manner that is environmentally sensitive to the flora and fauna of the region.
3. To maximize the open space and preservation of the mature woodlands located throughout the region. (Ord. 19-12-43, 1-13-2020)

D. Public Or Private Ownership: The public or private ownership and maintenance responsibilities for all common open spaces shall be established by the developer and approved as part of the ordinance authorizing the planned unit development. All common areas should be platted as separate out lots. Restrictive covenants running with the land shall guarantee that the common open space will be properly cared for and used only for purposes designated in the planned unit development.
E. Maintenance: To ensure appropriate long-term maintenance of private common open space the developer shall submit a detailed landscape plan and covenants making any private association responsible for the maintenance and replacement of any landscaping as identified in the approved landscape plan. All development plantings shall be maintained consistent with the terms of the planned unit development.
F. Dormant Special Service Area: A dormant special service area (DSSA) shall be required to be established concurrent with approval of a residential planned unit development to ensure adequate property maintenance. This special service area shall be created at the time of final platting of the first phase of the planned unit development and shall include all phases of the planned unit development. In the event the entity that has ownership and maintenance responsibilities fails to adequately manage the open space, the village may assume maintenance responsibilities until such time as that or another appropriate entity can manage the open space. The village may tax the property of those within the special service area for the village's prior and estimated future cost of maintaining the open space. (Ord. 19-12-43, 1-13-2020)
