Anne Lucietto welcomed the group and described how those involved in the advisory committee were chosen by the Plan Commission. All members present introduced themselves and the constituency group they are representing on the committee. Anne Lucietto gave an overview of the purpose for a comprehensive plan and the meeting schedule for the update process to the current plan. Anne Lucietto reminded the committee members to mark the dates on their calendars. The meeting schedule also shows the task of the committee at each meeting. Anne Lucietto mentioned that while it is an involved process, it does require input. Anne then went over the commitment contract between the committee members and the plan commission and the workbooks which were given to the committee members,plan commission, and elected officials. Travis Miller, Community Development Director, reviewed the tasks anticipated for each advisory committee meeting. Each meeting will typically begin with a brief presentation about the meeting topic. Then, a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) Analysis will be performed by the committee members. In the second half of the meeting, the advisory committee members will produce goals and objectives for the meeting topic using the results of the SWOT Analysis. A question was asked if committee members would have access to the current comprehensive plan. Yes, the comprehensive plan is online and also on the CD of background information given to each member. If a member would like a hard copy, please ask Travis Miller or Stephanie Boettcher. Travis Miller then went through the progression of the Yorkville Planning Area The 2002 Planning Area was defined from the comprehensive plan. An update of this plan for the Yorkville Planning Area south of the Fox River was completed in 2005 expanding the planning area to the south. The Current Planning Area uses the boundary delineated in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan north of the Fox River and the boundary delineated by the 2005 Comprehensive Plan Update South of the River. Due to current and proposed boundary agreements, along with annexation by the City, a new planning area was proposed by staff which addressed these changes. Plan Commission still has the ability to modify these boundaries. In general, this is the area which will be addressed in this Comprehensive Plan Update. Charley Wunder, Urban Planner, then went through the demographic and economic information. Charley mentioned that this data will be used throughout the planning process and will be particularly helpful in land use allocations, public/community facilities, and infrastructure meetings which are to come. This information given is only a highlight. The population change from 1970 shows the change of the City from a rural community to an exurban community to a more suburban community in nature. 2007 population projections are based on the number of dwelling units in the planning area and this number will be confirmed by a special census performed in the spring/summer of 2008. There are numerous techniques for population projections, however few are accurate in rapidly growing communities such as Yorkville which is why the population was projected based on dwelling units. The subsequent population projections, up to year 2012, are based on increase of dwelling units from the current developments which are under construction. These projections are optimistic due to the planning purposes of the committee. Questions: Will large scale maps be brought to every meeting? Travis Miller, answered that Greg Weber, the GIS Coordinator, will be at the majority of the advisory committee meetings and will be producing maps for each meeting topic as needed. Many of those presented today are for the Natural Resource discussion in December. Anne Lucietto mentioned the Kendall County Planning Consortium meeting whose next meeting will be held on November 15, 2007. The upcoming meeting will be discussing preserving rural character in Kendall County. Many of the topics at this bi-monthly meeting may be pertinent to the advisory committee's discussions. Anne Lucietto will send out a list of the meetings and topics for 2008 to the advisory committee once dates have been set. Documents and reference information handed out today will also be available via the United City of Yorkville Community Development website www.vorkville.il.us Meeting Adjourned at 6:30 pm.
