in connection with the TERRITORY, then the VILLAGE may retain special counsel whose
15
reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such representation shall be paid by OWNER.
In the event the VILLAGE is required to retain an attorney or other consultant against the
OWNER for violation of this Agreement, all expenses of such legal proceedings incurred by

XXI
RIGHT TO ENFORCEMENT
Failure of any party to this Agreement to insist upon the strict and prompt performance of the
terms, covenants, agreements, and conditions herein contained, or any of them, upon any other party
imposed, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any party's right
thereafter to enforce any such term, covenant, agreement or condition, but the same shall continue
in full force and effect.
XXII
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT
This agreement shall be binding upon all the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns for a period of twenty (20) years. All of the terms and conditions provided herein shall run
with the land.
This agreement shall also serve as a petition for annexation such that no additional notice or
hearings are required by the VILLAGE to annex the subject property. Notification to the current or
future owner of a proposed annexation Ordinance and passage of same shall only be required to
annex the subject property.
VILLAGE APPROVAL OR DIRECTION
Where VILLAGE approval or direction is required by this Agreement, such approval or
direction means the approval or direction of the Corporate Authorities of the VILLAGE unless
otherwise expressly provided or required by law, and any such approval may be required to be given
only after and if all requirements for granting such approval have been met, unless such requirements
are inconsistent with this Agreement.
XXIV
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF SUBDIVISION
OWNER, contemporaneously with the petition for annexation, has presented a Preliminary
Plat of Subdivision for the TERRITORY. VILLAGE agrees to approve the Preliminary plat of
subdivision after the effective date R & R Realty Development Corp., or its affiliate or successor,
acquires the TERRITORY and upon annexation of the TERRITORY to the VILLAGE. If this
17
000 :13021
acquisition has not occurred by June 1, 2000, the Preliminary Plat of Subdivision and any other
ancillary agreements executed prior to final annexation shall be null and void.
The OWNER may submit a final plat or plats of subdivision for the Territory or any part
thereof, and VILLAGE shall approve the final plat or plats of subdivision so submitted, provided such
plat or plats are in conformity with the terms of this Agreement and Exhibit C attached hereto.
If the final plat or plats submitted by the OWNER are not, in the opinion of the VILLAGE engineer,
in conformity with the Preliminary Plat of Subdivision, the OWNER may request changes to the plat
in accordance with the VILLAGE ordinances which will be promptly considered by the VILLAGE.
OWNER will pay to VILLAGE the cost incurred by the VILLAGE in reviewing the final plat or
plats.
XXV
PUD MODIFICATIONS OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS FOR R-4 DISTRICT
AND THE VILLAGE ZONING CODE
The Planned Unit Development provisions of the Zoning Ordinance of the VILLAGE allow
for variances from the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for the underlying zoning district in
order to promote innovation and flexibility in design in keeping with the public interest and welfare.
The VILLAGE finds that the strict application to the TERRITORY of certain provisions of the codes
and ordinances of the VILLAGE would be unduly restrictive and would prevent OWNER from
developing the subject and effectuating the Preliminary Plat of Subdivision attached as Exhibit C in
the most suitable manner consistent with the testimony and exhibits heretofore submitted. Therefore,
the VILLAGE agrees that the following standards shall govern with respect to the development of
the TERRITORY in any case where the standards now or hereafter provided in the codes and
ordinances of the VILLAGE shall conflict or in any case where there shall be no applicable standard
provided therein, all being consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and in
conformity with the general character of the VILLAGE shall permit the development of the
TERRITORY in accordance with the following terms, conditions and standards:
1. Side Yard Set Back. The Zoning Code shall be varied to allow reduction of the
minimum required side yard set back from 15 feet to 12.5 feet ONLY on one side yard, ONLY on
lots with a 90 -foot or greater lot width and ONLY for sideload garages.
18
0003302,1
2. Size and width of Lots. The lot widths and areas for the 95 lots shall conform to the
following table:
12,500 square feet
10,625 square feet minimum (18 lots)
11,250 square feet minimum (8 lots)
12,500 square feet minimum '(69lots)
90 feet (at the building line)
76.5 feet minimum
3. Traffic Circles. A Traffic Circle, as depicted in the Landscape Plans, attached as
Exhibit "F" shall be installed at the intersection of 4th street, Carley Court and Stirrup Drive. A
second Traffic Circle shall also be installed at the intersection of Melshane Court, Senon Drive and
4th Street. Detailed construction specifications for the Traffic Circles shall be submitted to the Village
Engineer for review and approval prior to final plat approval;
4. 4th Street Right -of -way. The required right -of -way for 4th street shall be reduced
from 80 -feet to 66 -feet for the north leg, and if voluntary easement agreements are secured for the
south leg of 4th street the easement width shall be reduced to 40 feet. 4th Street shall be constructed
with 30 -foot pavement (as measured from the back of curb). Easements shall be provided in the
frontyards of lots abutting the north leg of 4th Street, and indicated on the Final Plat, for sidewalks,
parkway trees, utilities, and/or drainage as determined by the Village Engineer.
5. Cul -De -Sac Island. The street requirements shall be varied to allow for cul -de -sac
islands in the cul -de -sac's that can accommodate these islands.
6. Subdivision Monument Signs. All signs erected on the property shall conform to the
standards set forth in the Zoning Ordinance.
7. For Sale Signs. OWNER shall have the right to place a sign on each lot advertising
that it is for sale, provided that such sign is a maximum of 6 square feet in area.

FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ONLY
Only one residential building shall be erected or allowed to exist upon any of the lots and
said residential building shall be used or occupied as a single family dwelling only. None
of said lots, as originally placed and subdivided on the attached plat, shall be divided or
resubdivided except for the purpose of combining portions thereof with an adjoining lot or
lots, provided that no additional building site is created thereby. Any single ownership or
single holding by any person or persons which comprises the whole of one of said lots (as

established as incidental to any single - family use on the premises.
No room or rooms in any residence or parts thereof may be rented or leased and no paying
guests shall be quartered in any residence. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however,
shall be construed as preventing the renting or leasing of any entire residence as a single
unit to a single family. No business or profession of any nature shall be conducted on any
lot or in any residence constructed on any lot in this Subdivision, except the business of
the sale of lots and houses in the Subdivision constructed by the Developer or its
successors or assigns.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing herein contained shall be
construed so as to prevent the Developer or its assigns or successors from erecting a
