QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE
VILLAGE OF
CAMPTON HILLS |
|
| |
HOW
DID THE
VILLAGE OF CAMPTON HILLS
GET ITS NAME? |
|
| |
Campton Hills identifies our
geographic area and also
correctly describes the unique rolling hills in
much of the area. Kane County has used this to describe our area
for years. |

HOW
CAN
CAMPTON HILLS HELP
THE SCHOOLS DISTRICTS? |
|
| |
One of the benefits of becoming incorporated is the right of
the
new Village to establish and impose impact and
transition fees. Builders and developers in
unincorporated Kane County do
not now contribute enough
money to offset the added costs
of new development. This
means that current residents are taxed to cover the
remainder of the costs.
More about Impact Fees.
The
Campton Hills Village Board is
able to adopt appropriate ordinances
that ensure that the impact fees from developers are
properly balanced with student population. Appropriate
impact fees as well as
Land/Cash Contributions
will lessen the
effect of new growth
on the existing taxpayers. The land
cash contribution would
give the schools a substantial increase
in money from each
new house built and not come from current taxpayers wallets. |

I KEEP HEARING MY
TAXES WILL GO UP WHEN
CAMPTON HILLS BECOMES A VILLAGE
IS THAT TRUE? |
|
| |
No, there can be no
municipal property tax unless approved
by the voters via
referendum. If residents desire a higher level of service
than the status quo, they will need to pass a referendum
for
additional services. |

WHAT WERE
THE REASONS THE VILLAGE OF CAMPTON HILLS WAS FORMED? |
|
| |
The residents
seeking incorporation wanted to see responsible residential and
commercial development to ensure the preservation of our current
quality of life by limiting the adverse effects of rapid development.
Causing school overcrowding, flooding,
road congestion,
increased tax pressure, possible decrease in property values,
poor water quality and quantity and other
environmental
problems. The highest priority in land-use decisions should be
to protect residents from the adverse impacts of differing land
use patterns. Incorporation would give us the ability to promote
balanced growth and have a say in our community. |

| |
HOW CAN CAMPTON HILLS HELP WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS? |
|
| |
Local control over
growth,
planning and zoning.
An incorporated city or town is able to plan for the future
growth of the community by adopting planning and zoning
regulations which will provide for controlled land use. This
regulation protects the community against undesirable land
use patterns. |
