Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council - June 24, 1999 - Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING A motion was made by Alderman Sticka to go into Public Hearing for the Exchange of Capital Improvements & Park Property between Fox Hill Developer and the City of Yorkville; seconded by Alderman Sowinski. Approved by roll call vote. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Dockstader aye Sticka aye Callmer aye Kot aye Spears aye Sowinski aye Mayor Prochaska stated the Public Hearing is being held because as part of the PUD for the Fox Hill Development, several pieces have been designated for Park. He said one of the developers has been working with the City and wants to develop one of the park sites and in return one of the sites along Route 34 will be released and rezoned for Commercial use. Steven Rohdes,attorney representing the Primus Corp.stated in the Fox Hill Development the original annexation agreement adopted a PUD that had a 3.1 acre park site adjacent to Route 34. He said their proposal is to take that park site, rezone it to Commercial and take the appraised value of the property and invest that money in one of the existing parks that they have set aside within the development by buying some equipment and other things to further develop that park. He said they would be allowed to develop the park along Route 34 with Commercial and in return they would take the money that the land has been appraised at and invest it in to one of the existing parks. He said this would not be a free exchange on their part, they would be investing in the park with improvements. He said the property is appraised at$93,500.00 and the Primus Corp. is offering to invest $95,000.00 in the existing park. He said what this means is an amendment to the Planned Unit Development that would rezone the park site along Route 34 to B3 Commercial Zoning. Mayor Prochaska stated there are some blanks in the agreement. He said the date that has been suggested for the improvements to be installed is on or before June 30, 2000, and the dollar amount is $95,000.00. Mayor Prochaska said the original plan was to develop a park and now they are looking at a dollar amount that may not complete the entire park. Attorney Rohdes suggested attaching a copy of the Plan to the amendment to the Annexation Agreement with an itemized break down of what would be going into the park eventually and what their$95,000.00 would go towards paying. He said the Park Districts wish list on what they would like to see there came to about $158,000.00 worth of improvements and they would be investing $95,000.00 into that site. Mayor Prochaska stated it would be up to the Park Board and the City to decide what would and would not go into the park, how and at what timing. Attorney Rohdes stated when they came out of the Park Board meeting they made it clear that they wanted some finalization of the plan and as far as they were concerned the plan was not finalized and there needed to be some finalization done. He said they understand and accept this. Alderman Dockstader stated the value is a lot less than what was talked about. Alderman Sowinski stated the amount that was discussed was $143,000.00. Alderman Dockstader stated he has a problem with the Park Board thinking there is $142,000.00 coming, passing it on to the City Council when there is only $95,000.00 coming. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council -June 24. 1999 - Page 3 J.T. Johnson stated the Park Board signed a letter to be taken back to Committee of the Whole, in which they accepted this plan only, the plan number, the date and everything else. He said this plan had certain specified equipment that the Park Board wanted to see, from a certain specified manufacturer. He said there are certain landscaping things that need to be done there. He said it does show a basketball court, a soccer field and everything that is to be in there. He said this is what the Park Board accepted at the meeting. He said they did not know anything about a dollar amount less than what they accepted this plan on. Mayor Prochaska stated he thought we were looking at a plan, and getting a park for the exchange of the land. He said the Park thinks they are getting a park. Attorney Rohdes stated his understanding from the conversations with Mr. Faltz was that he directed the Lannert Group to take all of the comments, all of the items the Park Board wanted to see in the park and draw that plan for them. He said the Planner then put out a itemized list of what the improvements would cost. He said it is his understanding from Mr. Faltz, that he was having the Lannert Group get the itemized list, investigating what the costs would be with what the Park District wanted and putting the plan together, but he was not committing himself to put up $158,000.00 in improvements. Alderman Dockstader stated he has sat in on these discussions until the last two months. He said this is different than he had pictured it. He said he thought the Park District was being given the park for that land. He said knowing the funding and the land cash of the Parks and being involved in it, he's not sure the Park Board can come up with the rest of the money to finish it. J.T.Johnson stated it was inferred to him and Scott that what the plan is, is what they were going to trade. He said there was a lot of discussion back and forth about the type of equipment. He said some of the equipment is more expensive than what might be able to be done, but it is the type of equipment that is used in all of the parks. The majority of the City Council was under the understanding that it was the development of a park in exchange for the land, not a dollar amount. Attorney Rhodes stated that he was not part of those meetings and he could possibly be misconstruing what Mr. Faltz has told him. He suggested carrying this over for a meeting for clarification from Mr. Faltz. Mayor Prochaska recommended tabling the actual vote and seeing where this is actually going to go. A motion was made by Alderman Callmer to go out of Public Hearing; seconded by Alderman Dockstader. Approved by roll call vote. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Sticka aye Callmer aye Kot aye Spears aye Sowinski aye Dockstader aye A motion was made by Alderman Kot to go into Public Hearing for Modifications to the PUD Agreement for the Fox Highlands Subdivision; seconded by Alderman Spears. Approved by roll call vote. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Callmer aye Kot aye Spears aye Sowinski aye Dockstader aye Sticka aye Attorney Dan Kramer stated that Fox Highlands was a Annexation/PUD Agreement with the Doetschman Farm on Route 71. He said the petitioner went to the Yorkville-Bristol Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council -June 24. 1999 - Page 4 Sanitary District and the City Economic Development Committee to seek two provision modifications. One was they would totally fund the construction of the southeast interceptor and begin it and post the construction bond or letter of credit. He said the amount of front funds that was going to be paid over and above the construction cost of the southeast interceptor would be the amount of$200,000.00 rather than the full amount that had been agreed on. He said that they would be allowed to start with Unit 1 of the development as long as the southeast interceptor was put in at their cost with the condition that they post a bond for construction of a golf course or letter of credit in Unit 2 and 3. He said since they no longer have the option of that land, it would be modified and not be made a condition of the amendment. Jeff Spang asked if part of the development beyond Unit 1 is no longer under development by the Edmeier Group. He asked if the PUD that was formed that provided a golf course and certain recreational amenities and open spaces is still valid. Attorney Kramer stated as to Unit 2 and 3 anyone coming in and wanting to develop it, it would be in force and effect and that is how it would have to be developed. He said there is no positive requirement that until somebody develops it, it ever has to be done. He said if somebody comes in and wants to develop it and wants to change it, they would have to get a positive vote from the City Council. Jeff Spang asked if they are asking to develop only the Multi Family developments right now. It was stated it was going to be a mixture of both single family and multi family houses. Jeff Spang asked how many single family homes were going to be built. Dean Edmeier replied 33 single family homes and 90 townhome units. Dean Edmeier stated what they are seeking in this amendment is not to change anything but two terms. He said of the $800,000.00 in front funded fees, they are asking to defer $600,000.00 of it until Phase 2 to help them get started. He said they are not asking to eliminate the $800,000.00 or make it $600,000.00, they are asking to defer part of it on one unit back. He said the golf course bond obligation is not under contract at this time and he is not able to guarantee a bond on property that he has no right to acquire or does not own. He said he is seeking to push the golf course construction bond obligation back to the start of Phase 2. He said he is not asking to eliminate it but in actuality, as they refer to it, a deferral of their obligation. He said the remainder of the terms they have not changed. Alderman Callmer asked if the Doetschman's did not sign the PUD as they stated, what would the legal liabilities be. Attorney Kramer stated Mr. & Mrs. Doetschman are under no obligation to construct any improvements or to develop what so ever. He said the PUD Agreement states that. He said if someone came in and bought the property and wanted to change the PUD they would have to go through the entire zoning process and petition to modify the PUD. Mr. Doetschman expressed concern over the density of what he has not sold yet. He said the paper stated the mayor said since there is a lot of density in the property already purchased, it would have to be considered on the remainder part of it. He said he is not a party of this agreement at all. He said what is being done by Edmeier on what is already purchased is not his business. He said on the remaining 186 acres he feels that he is totally free of any Planned Development. He said he is confused on what Attorney Kramer told him last week and what the newspaper is stating. Attorney Kramer stated he has said the same things tonight as he did at Committee of the Whole, in terms of obligation Mr. &Mrs. Doetschman do not have a obligation to develop Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council -June 24, 1999 - Page 5 or put in sewer lines or improvements. Mr. Doetschman stated his concern is the 168 homes the city is allowing on his remaining 186 acres. He said he could do better and get more population by going to the county. He said when he sold the farm to the Edmeier Group he sold the whole farm to them in parcels. He said the Edemier Group has not been able to pick up the remaining parcels which were all supposed to be purchased a year ago. He said would like to be assured that because the city is giving Dean Edmeier dense population now that we aren't going to take it out on him in the future if he has to sell the 186 acres to someone else. Attorney Kramer stated that Mr. Doetschman is not bound to the Edmeier Group, but if someone else comes in and says that they have a good plan for the Doetschman land and it doesn't include a golf course they have to petition from the beginning and start over just like anybody else. Alderman Dockstader stated he feels that if someone does come in and purchase the land and does not want to put a golf course in, the high density will have a bearing on the density on the other property. Attorney Kramer stated he thinks it would stand as totally separate issues. He said if someone petitions to modify it in some fashion they would probably look for some parks and open land. Jeff Spang stated that when this agreement was developed, the density was a trade off and would not have been acceptable without the open spaces. He said deferring $600,000.00 of the fees to the next phase could adversely impact the selling of that property by carrying a $600,000.00 debt. Dean Edmeier stated that it would anyway because it is prepaid fees. There was more discussion on the density for the future development of Mr. Doetschman's land. It was stated that in order to change the PUD the developer would have to come to the City Council to change it. It was stated the County has open space requirements also that provides 30% open space. It was stated that you have to look at the Cities Comprehensive Plan. Attorney Kramer stated who ever picks up Units 2 and 3 will have a lot easier burden, because they won't have to get EPA permits, or hire an engineer to engineer the sewer line. He said if that line is already out there Mr. Doetschman will have all kinds of people interested in Units 2 and 3. A motion was made by Alderman Sowinski to go out of Public Hearing; seconded by Alderman Dockstader. Approved by roll call vote. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Kot aye Spears aye Sowinski aye Dockstader aye Sticka aye Callmer aye A motion was made Alderman Kot to go into Public Hearing for the Yorkville/Plano Boundary Agreement; seconded by Alderman Callmer. Approved by roll call vote. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Spears aye Sowinski aye Dockstader aye Sticka aye Callmer aye Kot aye Attorney Kramer stated the proposed boundary map went before Committee of the Whole last Thursday. He said Plano had their Public Hearing and approved the map and Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council -June 24, 1999 - Page 6 approved the revised agreement last Monday night. He said he talked to Tom Grant about Yorkville wanting to explore south of the river, moving the line from the extension of Eldamain Road going south across the river. He said on the north side of Fox Road there are only two farms between High Point and Eldamain, extending it to Silver Springs,on the South side of the road there is only one. He said we talked to Plano about possibly moving the line through those properties because it is doubtful that they would extend utilities through the state park. He said Plano did not want to get back into reopening it now. He said Piano did not view that they would ever go through the State Park. He said Piano thought that we could continue the discussions on it but since they have already passed the agreement they wanted to get the agreement passed with the lines that were originally discussed going to Route 71. He said Plano has passed an ordinance and approved the agreement with the change south of the river using Highpoint as the east/west line and Eldamain, slipping over to Ash on to the north end of the county going to the county border. There was discussion on revisiting an amendment to the agreement at a future date. A motion was made by Alderman Callmer to go out of Public Hearing; seconded by Alderman Spears.
