9-6-8: DENSITY FORMULA:
   A.   The table of estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit, prepared by Illinois School Consulting Service/Associated Municipal Consultants, Inc., Naperville, Illinois, and as updated from time to time by the consulting firm is contained in section 9-6-24, exhibit C, of this chapter. It constitutes projections of anticipated population density and 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 pursuant to section 9-6-17 of this chapter.
   B.   A "bedroom", as used in this section, shall mean any room, regardless of its designation by the owner or permit applicant, which is suitable to be used regularly as a room for sleeping, including, but not limited to, dens, studies, bonus rooms, libraries, television rooms, sewing rooms and similar rooms (all of which are hereafter referred to as "extra rooms"), whether finished or unfinished, located on the bedroom level of a multi-story residence. Extra rooms located on the nonbedroom level of a multi-story residence shall be considered bedrooms if there is a bath on that level containing a shower or tub. Extra rooms in a single-story residence shall always be considered bedrooms. All such extra rooms shall be considered as potential bedrooms and included as bedrooms for the purposes of determining the required size of a septic seepage field of a residence.
   C.   The most recent version of the table of estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit shall be used in calculating any cash in lieu of land dedication herein unless objected to as provided in section 9-6-17 of this chapter. Objections to the table of estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit shall be made in accordance with said section 9-6-17 to the Plan Commission. Failure to object to the table of estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit in accordance with section 9-6-17 of this chapter shall thereafter waive any right to raise an objection at a later time.
   D.   In the event a subdivider or developer files a written objection to the table of estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit listed above, he shall submit his own demographic study showing the estimated additional population to be generated from the subdivision or planned development, and in that event, final determination of the density formula shall be made in accordance with section 9-6-17 of this chapter.
