Sec. 2-90. Establishment of planning boundaries.(a) The Department shall establish and provide public notice of the approximate location of the inaugural airport boundary and the ultimate airport boundary to inform the public and prevent costly and conflicting development of the land involved.  The Department shall hold a public hearing when it desires to formally provide public notice of the approximate locations of the inaugural airport boundary and the ultimate airport boundary. The hearing shall be held in Will County and notice of the hearing shall be published in a newspaper or newspapers of general circulation in Will County. Any interested person or his representative shall be heard. The Department shall evaluate the testimony given at the hearing. The Department shall make a survey and prepare maps showing the location of the inaugural airport boundary and the ultimate airport boundary. The maps shall show the property lines and owners of record of all land within the inaugural airport boundary and the ultimate airport boundary and all other pertinent information. Approval of the maps with any changes resulting from the hearing shall be indicated in the record of the hearing and a notice of the approval and a copy of the maps shall be filed in the office of the recorder for Will County. Public notice of the approval and filing shall be given in newspapers of general circulation in Will County and shall be served by registered mail within 60 days thereafter on all owners of record of the land needed for future additions.(b) The Department may approve changes in the maps of the inaugural airport boundary and the ultimate airport boundary from time to time. The changes shall be filed and notice given in the manner provided for the original maps. After the maps are filed and notice thereof given to the owners of record of the land needed for future additions, no one shall incur development costs or place improvements in, upon, or under the land involved, nor rebuild, alter, or add to any existing structure without first giving 60 days' notice by registered mail to the Department. This prohibition shall not apply to any normal or emergency repairs to existing structures. The Department has 45 days after receipt of that notice to inform the owner of the Department's intention to acquire the land involved. After informing the owner, the Department shall have 120 days to acquire the land by purchase or to initiate action to acquire the land through the exercise of the right of eminent domain. When the land is acquired by the State no compensation shall be allowed for any construction, alteration, or addition in violation of this Section unless the Department has failed to acquire the land by purchase or has abandoned an eminent domain proceeding initiated under the provisions of this paragraph.  Any land needed for modifications to the inaugural airport boundary or the ultimate airport boundary may be acquired at any time by the State. The time of determination of the value of the property to be taken under this Section for additions to the South Suburban Airport shall be the date of the actual taking, if the property is acquired by purchase, or the date of the filing of a complaint for condemnation or as established by Section 10-5-60 of the Eminent Domain Act, if the property is acquired through the exercise of the right of eminent domain, rather than the date when the maps of the inaugural airport boundary or the ultimate airport boundary were filed of record.
