AMUROL INTERSECTION
Jim N. and J.T. met with IDOt to discuss the Amurol Intersection.
Purpose of the meeting was to attempt to decrease the requirements
IDOT is asking for at this intersection. Jim indicated that they
have decreased some of the costs from the $325, 000 discussed last
week to a cost of approximately $289, 000.
A discussion was held with Harbor Construction regarding the
management fee requested at 10%. This has been negotiated down to
7.5% of cost. Jim indicated that another option would be to have
Yorkville manage the project but that would delay things as
Yorkville would need to place the contract out for bid, etc.
There was $180, 000 budgeted for this intersection.
Jim indicated that there may be future possibilities of some
recapture fees but that without having reviewed all of the
agreements for easements he would not be able to estimate what
exactly this would entail.
Mayor Kittoe stated that since this was not properly budgeted for
that the funds would need to come from the road projects. Some of
these projects may need to be delayed.
Alderman Johnson asked if this could possibly be taken from the
Hydraulic Street budget as that project did not come within budget
either.
Mayor Kittoe stated that the project was originally budgeted for
$85, 000 and now stands at $286, 000.
Alderman Johnson stated that this intersection has to be done but
the City does not want to borrow funds to complete it.
Alderman Stafford stated that the City could borrow funds if needed
but this may delay the building project.
Mayor Kittoe stated that the road projects will need to be reviewed
to see what can be delayed at this time as the City has no choice
regarding the Amurol intersection.
Attorney Kramer stated that this originally was to be completed
only as an acceleration / deceleration lane and not a total
intersection.
Special City Council Meeting - July 21, 1994 - page 2
Attorney Kramer stated that this requirement was changed by IDOT
when they were informed of future possibilities of that area
including a bypass, etc.
Mayor Kittoe asked that the Amurol agreement be reviewed to be sure
that the City is complying with what was agreed to at that time.
Bill Schmanski of Pavia-Marting stated that the City may be able to
cut some additional costs if they only go into the Amurol property
just far enough to comply with the agreement between the City and
Amurol.
Mayor Kittoe stated that the City must enter into agreement for
this intersection at the Amurol Site and Route 47 at a cost not to
exceed the $290, 000 so that the project can continue on a timely
basis.
A motion was made by Alderman Stafford and seconded by Alderman
Johnson to enter into agreement for the intersection at Route 47

CITIZEN COMMENTS
Dan Nicholson of Nicholson Logging addressed the Council concerning
the requirement of a fence on his property located in Yorkville.
Mr. Nicholson asked if all the council members were in concurrence
of this issue being brought to a court decision. He also asked if
the council could inform him of who are making these complaints to
the City. He feels that he can discuss all of the issues with his
neighbors and make them happy. He stated that in talking with his
neighbors they were not always aware of the City's stance with
regard to the Ordinance requiring a fence around his property.
Mr. Nicholson stated that at one time he had requested building
permits and was denied any permits to construct new buildings
because of being out of code with this fence issue. He stated he
had met with Alderman Baker regarding this issue and what his plans
for the future were. Mr. Baker had requested information from
Mr.Nicholson to present to the Council concerning his future plans.
Mr. Nicholson stated that in November 1993 he received a letter
from the City. At that time, he was informed by Don Peck that
there was no negotiating the need for a fence around his property.
He stated that he had requested the Mayor to come discuss the
issue.
Mayor Kittoe stated that he has visited the location and discussed
the safety issue of logs stored on the property and across the
street. He stated he had received complaints about kids playing on
the logs and cannot have the City held liable for any accidents
which could occur.
Mr. Nicholson responded that he has not had any accidents such as
this on his property over the eight years he has been in business.
Alderman Baird stated that the City Council was not trying to put
Mr. Nicholson out of business. Mr. Baird read aloud the ordinance
requiring the fence around M-1 zoned property with outside storage
which is within 150 feet of residential property.
Mr. Nicholson stated that he is more concerned about his neighbors
than with the terms of the ordinance.
Attorney Hiles again reiterated to Mr. Nicholson that the City is
not attempting to force him out of business. The issue is the
ordinance and Mr. Nicholson's non-compliance after repeated
attempts to have the property brought within code. Attorney Hiles
stated that the City has made repeated attempts to ask Mr.
Nicholson to bring this within code.
Mr. Nicholson responded that he had no such contact until the
November 1993 letter and his discussion with Mr. Baker.
Alderman Clark asked if this in fact was discussed at one time with
Attorney Kramer. Mr. Nicholson stated that the fence would be very
expensive for him to install and that he is also unhappy with the
appearance at times and would like to have the entire business
under roof especially in the cold weather.
Regular Council Meeting - July 14, 1994 - page 4
Alderman Baird asked why Mr. Nicholson did not attempt to request
variances or propose a plan to the City to rectify this problem?
Mr. Nicholson replied that the is concerned about people not the
laws of the City.
Alderman Prochaska stated that he should have reviewed the costs
involved at the time he opened up the business.
Mr. Nicholson stated that the fence is not the issue. He stated
that one neighbor informed him that an appraiser had stated his
property would be worth more if it were not located near the
sawmill. Mr. Nicholson stated that he had improved the property
from when he began business and the old model box factory had
burned down. He stated that he is attempting to create jobs for
the area and input money into the City that would otherwise not
have been there.
Mr. Nicholson discussed the vacant buildings located in downtown
Yorkville. He stated that he is trying to make improvements but it
all costs money. He stated that the fence would need to be very
high due to the hill in order to do the job of "hiding" the mess.
He again stated that he wishes to complete a new building on the
land to place his equipment into. He stated that this would need
to be completed in phases.
Mayor Kittoe asked what time frame would be involved. Also asked
was if Mr. Nicholson had considered contacting the county regarding
an EDC loan. Mayor Kittoe stated that this needs to be discussed
at the Committee of a Whole Meeting next Thursday.
Citizen Dave Greiter asked if this is a safety issue than why does
the city not worry about the dam instead? The Council responded
that the dam is a State water-way and the City does not control.
The issue is the safety of the kids.
Howard Johnson asked what type of fencing is mandated by the
ordinance. It only requires a height not a type of fence.
J.T. Johnson stated that this is the first time Dan Nicholson has
addressed the council. The city has asked him to come discuss this
issue before and it took litigation to get Mr. Nicholson to come to
a meeting and discuss this issue. He reiterated that noone is
trying to put Mr. Nicholson out of business. If Mr. Nicholson has
some alternatives than he should present them to the Council.
Alderman Baird asked about an EDC loan. Alderman Prochaska stated
that Mr. Nicholson has not discussed the issue with all of the
alderman as he has not discussed anything with him. Mr. Prochaska
stated they are not trying to run him out of business but need to
concentrate on the issue of the fence.
Mayor Kittoe stated that this will be discussed at the Committee of
a Whole meeting next Thursday.
A citizen asked about signs for "SLOW CHILDREN PLAYING" to be
placed on Van Emmon Street. Mr. Nanninga will discuss at Monday's
Public Works meeting.
Mayor Kittoe reminded everyone that the Council is at City Hall the
2nd and 4th Thursday of each month for City Council Meetings and at
City Hall the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month for Committee of
a Whole meetings.
A question was raised concerning a pedestrian cross-walk push
button for the new light located at Route 47 and Somonauk Streets.
This will be discussed at the next Committee of a Whole meeting.
Regular Council Meeting - July 14, 1994 - page 5
ATTORNEY'S REPORT
Administrator Nanninga discussed the Amurol intersection
requirements. He stated that he did feel that the city could
possibly complete the job under the $305, 000 proposed. Harbor
Construction is asking for a 10% fee for management of the
property. This project needs to be completed by October, 1994 as
the Amurol Plant is anticipating this as an opening date.
A discussion was held concerning the financing needed for this
project. Originally this was proposed as an Acceleration /
Deceleration lane only. When IDOT received information concerning
a possible bypass they are now requiring a full intersection be
installed.
Mayor Kittoe asked Administrator Nanninga discuss the proposed
intersection with IDOT and Tom Cross. This will be discussed at
next week's Committee of a Whole meeting including how this will
be paid for.
A Special Council Meeting will be held to vote on the Amurol
Intersection on Route 47 at 6:45 p.m. on Thursday, July 21, 1994
prior to the Committee of a Whole meeting.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
MUNICIPAL INSPECTION CODE CONSULTANTS
A motion was made by Alderman Prochaska to enter into contract with
the Municipal Inspection Code Consultants of Illinois for one year
subject to final approval from the City Attorney. (This motion was
not seconded. )
Mr. Bill Dettmer of Municipal Inspection Code Consultants of
Illinois stated that one change has been requested within the
contract between his firm and the City of Yorkville. This change
would reflect a 10% management fee paid to the City of Yorkville
out of every permit fee versus the flat fee of $50. This would
give the City payment on the smaller fees as well as a higher
payment on the larger fees.
The City Attorney has been contacted regarding this issue and Mayor
Kittoe feels that it is more equitable to the City.
Alderman Prochaska asked what the City employees felt about the fee
structure. J.T. Johnson responded that Judy Bell of the City feels
that this is a good idea and he feels that it is more equitable to
the City.
J.T. Johnson stated that there are no problems anticipated with the
contract but they would like to review one item.
This will be discussed and voted on at the Special Council Meeting
scheduled for Thursday, July 21, 1994 at 6:45 p.m.
Mr. Dettmer stated that a meeting has been scheduled with local
contractors for Tuesday, August 3, 1994 at 7: 00 p.m. in the
