<br />The Glen (TIF District) Census <br />(As of June 30, 2014) <br /> <br />OVERVIEW <br /> <br />Ehlers and Associates, Inc. was hired by the Village of Glenview to conduct an annual census of <br />residents living within the boundaries of the Tax Increment Finance district of The Glen (the <br />former Glenview Naval Air Station). The purpose of the census is to enable the Village to use the <br />data to calculate annual payments to certain core jurisdictions providing services to these <br />residents. <br /> <br />Ehlers and Associates, Inc. met with Village staff in early May, 2014 to discuss the project in <br />detail. The Village of Glenview provided our offices with data about The Glen that was compiled <br />from their own database and from developers. After compiling the data, Ehlers identified 2,221 <br />homes of which 2,047 were occupied residences that would be included in the Census canvass. <br />The residences that were targeted are located in 13 development areas of The Glen: Chapel <br />Crossing at The Glen, Concord at The Glen, Southgate on The Glen, Cambridge at The Glen, <br />Tower Crossing at The Glen, Vi at The Glen (formerly Classic Residence by Hyatt at The Glen), <br />Chestnut Square at The Glen, Thomas Place, Aloft at The Glen Town Center, Glenshore Condos, <br />Patriot Commons at The Glen, Regency at the Glen, and Navy town homes (only those located <br />on Buccaneer Drive constructed after 1994). The 34 short-term lease apartments in the Aloft <br />Apartments were counted as vacant and, therefore, not included in the “adjusted totals” <br />calculations. The Toll Brothers project called Patriot Commons at The Glen is still under <br />construction having 68 homes built as of June 30, 2014. A new subdivision by Pulte called <br />Regency at the Glen has completed construction having 146 homes built as of June 30, 2014. <br /> <br />On June 2, 2014, Glenview mailed each of the targeted residences a letter from the Deputy <br />Village Manager of the Village of Glenview. The intent of the letter was to explain to residents <br />the purpose and process for the upcoming Census canvassing that would occur within The Glen. <br />Also included with this letter was a copy of the Census Reporting Form. This allowed the <br />residents to see the questions that would be asked and also allowed them to complete the form <br />prior to the arrival of the Census Recorders, which would occur the weekend of July 12th. A <br />stamped, return envelope was included for their convenience. We also allowed residents the <br />option of calling or faxing the Ehlers office or communicating electronically through the Village <br />website to report their data. We kept the Glenview Police Department apprised of our actions <br />and followed the municipal guidelines for collecting the Census data. <br /> <br />On Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13, 2014, Census Recorders successfully completed the <br />initial canvassing of residences who had not responded to the June 2, 2014 mailing. After <br />additional attempts to obtain information from those residences that were not available to <br />provide information on these days, a copy of the Census Reporting Form was left at their door. <br />The form asked the resident to complete the form and return it by August 1st for tabulation. The <br />follow-up door-to-door visits resumed on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20, 2014. We <br />specified a deadline of August 1st to submit responses to be included in the census count. <br /> <br />Of the 2,047 occupied residences, 131 didn’t reply and 0 refused after the numerous attempts to <br />obtain data. This calculates to 93.6% of the residences responding and 6.4% that did not <br />reply/refused. Since the Pulte homes (Regency) were under construction during this period, we <br />could not confirm which homes were occupied, therefore, only the affirmative responses were <br />counted in the census. <br />1
