There are only three significant categories provided in this chart. Because of the similarity of yields of all types of attached single
family dwelling units, only one category is provided. The same is true with apartments; thus, only one category. Because of the
relatively short history of some newer types of detached and attached single family units, individual evaluations may be necessary.

the present "fair market value" of such improved land in and surrounding the Village is one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) per acre, and such figure shall be used in making any
calculation herein unless the subdivider or developer files a written objection thereto. In the event
of any such objection, the developer shall submit an appraisal showing the "fair market value" of
such improved land in the area of his development or other evidence thereof and final
determination of said "fair market value" per acre of such improved land shall be made by the
Village Board based upon such information submitted by the subdivider or developer and from
other sources which may be submitted to the Village Board by the Park District, Library District,
School District or other. The Village shall review the fair market value every two years.
