(A) (1) For certain land uses that are considered to have a significant potential impact on traffic, infrastructure, demands for public services, and/or significant impacts on surrounding properties due to scale, the applicant shall be required to provide an impact assessment during the initial submittal for either a rezoning or site plan approval.
(2) The cost of the impact assessment and review by the village shall be borne by the applicant.
(3) The applicant may request a meeting with village staff, consultants, and key agency, staff prior to developing the impact assessment.
(B) The minimum contents of this impact assessment shall be:
(1) Generally. Name(s) and address(es) of person(s) or firm(s) responsible for preparation of the impact assessment and a brief statement of their qualifications;
(2) Area plan. An area plan or aerial photograph illustrating the entire site and nearby properties;
(3) Overall site conditions. Narrative and illustration describing adjacent uses, zoning, public roadways, utilities, significant woodlands, trees over eight inches caliper, soils types, 100-year floodplains, drainageways, and general topography. The area described shall be within one-quarter mile for sites up to 100 acres, and one-mile radius for larger sites. Aerial photographs are recommended to assist in describing the general vicinity;
(4) Wetlands. Documentation by a qualified wetland specialist shall be required wherever the village determines there is a potential state or federally regulated wetland which may be impacted by the proposed project;
(5) Conceptual site plans. Conceptual site plan illustrating a very general layout of proposed uses upon which preliminary impact analysis is based, and any proposed phasing;
(6) Land use impacts.
(a) Description of the types of proposed uses and other man made facilities, including any project phasing, and an indication of how the proposed use(s) conforms or conflicts with existing and future development patterns.
(b) A description shall be provided of any increases in light, noise, or air pollution which could negatively impact adjacent properties, particularly associated with smoke or truck routing;
(7) Environmental impacts.
(a) Description of any general impacts expected to wildlife areas, lakes, streams, ponds, and regulated wetlands. Conceptual mitigation or replacement measures under consideration shall be described.
(b) The study shall also describe general measures to control soil erosion and sedimentation during and after construction.
(8) Impact on public facilities and services.
(a) Describe the number of expected employees, visitors or residents and the anticipated impact on police and fire protection.
(b) In particular, describe the relationship of the use to municipal fire stations and the need for any new facilities or equipment. Letters from the appropriate agencies should be provided;
(9) Utility impacts.
(a) Describe proposed water and sanitary sewer facilities, including any improvements or off-site extensions needed to serve the long range development on the site.
(b) For sites served with sanitary sewer and public water, general calculations for sewage flows, and water demands shall be provided in comparison with sewer line capacity;
(10) Drainage.
(a) Describe conceptual plans to control drainage and any significant changes from existing drainage patterns.
(b) If wetlands are to be used as stormwater basins, methods to control fertilizers and filter runoff shall be identified. Correspondence from the County Drain Commissioner shall be attached indicating their concerns and suggestions;
(11) Storage and handling of waste and hazardous materials.
(a) Methods of on- and off-site disposal of solid waste shall be identified. The information shall describe the type of hazardous substances expected to be used, stored or disposed of on the site; general location within the site; and method of containment.
9b) Documentation of compliance with federal and state requirements, and a pollution incident prevention plan (PIPP) shall be submitted, as appropriate; and
(12) Traffic impacts.
(a) A traffic impact analysis, including information regarding the existing volume of traffic and capacity of roads to be accessed by the project and the forecasted trip generation by the proposed project, including the a.m. and p.m. peak hour and average daily traffic generated.
(b) The forecasts shall be based on the data and procedures outlined in the most recent edition of the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual.
(c) The analysis shall include a distribution (inbound versus outbound, left turn versus right turn) onto the existing street network to project turning movements at major site access points and nearby intersections.
