(A) Amount of land required.
(1) The ultimate population density to be generated by a subdivision or development shall bear directly on the amount of land required to be dedicated for parks and recreation sites. The acreage of land dedication requirement shall be determined by obtaining the total population of the development times the number of required acres per 1,000 population.
(2) The total requirement shall be as set forth below or cash in lieu of land. Table I below shall be a guideline for park and recreational land distribution.
(a) Table I.
TABLE I | |
Type of Recreational Area | Size Range |
TABLE I | |
Type of Recreational Area | Size Range |
Playlot | Minimum 10,000 square feet |
Neighborhood Park | 3 to 11 acres |
Community Park | Minimum 12 acres |
Example: development of 100 detached single-family 3-bedroom homes with 2.899 people per household (Source: Table II) | |
Total ultimate population | Number of dwelling units X ultimate population* for detached single-family 3-bedroom homes 100 x 2.899 = 290 |
Required acres | Total ultimate population x 10 acres/1,000 = 290 x 10/1,000 = 2.9 acres |
(b) Table II shall set forth the estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit. Presumptions:
1. On property zoned for single-family detached units, it shall be presumed that 50% of the units shall contain three bedrooms and 50% of the units shall contain four bedrooms. All fractions shall be rounded to the nearest unit.
2. On property zoned for the construction of single-family attached (duplex) units, it shall be presumed that 40% of the units shall contain two bedrooms and 60% of the units shall contain three bedrooms. All fractions shall be rounded to the nearest unit.
3. On property zoned for single-family attached units, it shall be presumed that 70% of the units shall contain two bedrooms and 30% of the units shall contain three bedrooms. All fractions shall be rounded to the nearest unit.
4. On property zoned for multifamily units, it shall be presumed that 40% of the units shall contain one bedroom, 50% of the units shall contain two bedrooms, and 10% of the units shall contain three bedrooms. All fractions shall be rounded to the nearest unit.

Type of Unit | Total Per Unit |
TABLE II | |
Type of Unit | Total Per Unit |
Detached single-family | |
2-bedroom | 2.017 |
3-bedroom | 2.899 |
4-bedroom | 3.764 |
5-bedroom | 3.770 |
Attached single-family (duplex, townhouse, row house, etc.) | |
1-bedroom | 1.193 |
2-bedroom | 1.790 |
3-bedroom | 2.392 |
4-bedroom | 3.145 |
Apartments: | |
1-bedroom | 1.294 |
2-bedroom | 1.758 |
3-bedroom | 1.914 |
4-bedroom | 3.053 |
(B) Density formula.
(1) The above table of population density is generally indicative of current and short-range projected trends in family size for new construction and shall be used in calculating the amount of required dedication of acres of land or the cash contributions in lieu thereof unless a written objection is filed thereto by the subdivider or developer.
(2) In the event a subdivider or developer files a written objection to the table of estimated ultimate population listed herein, he or she shall submit his or her own demographic study showing the estimated additional population to be generated from the subdivision or development, and in that event, final determination of the density formula to be used in such calculations shall be made by the village, in its sole discretion, upon consideration of the table of population density, such demographic information submitted by the subdivider or developer and such other sources of information which may be submitted to or obtained by the Planning Commission. It is recognized that population density, age distribution and local conditions change over the years, and the specific formula for the dedication of land, or the payment of fees in lieu thereof, as stated herein, is subject to periodic review and amendment if necessary.
(C) Location and ownership. The Comprehensive Plan, appropriate standards and adopted municipal and county plans shall be used as a guideline in locating sites. A central location which will serve equally the entire development is most desirable. In a large development, these sites can be located throughout the development according to established standards for park area distances from residential areas. Each park site should have at least 66 feet of frontage on dedicated public roads. Full fee simple title to the dedicated park shall be held by the village or as determined and/or assigned by the Village Board. When necessary, operation and maintenance may be done by a homeowner's association with the execution of the appropriate legal documents.
