PUBLIC HEARING

Clerk Allison called the role:
Baker - aye Clark - aye
Prochaska - aye Jones - aye
Johnson - aye Stafford - aye
Callmer - aye Baird - abs
Motion carried 7-0.
Mayor Kittoe briefly discussed the proposed annexation and rezoning
to R-2 Single Family Residential District. Property is located on
the east and west side of Cannonball Trail, north of the Burlington
Northern Railroad tracks and less than 1/2 mile north of Bristol.
Owners of the parcel are Harold Oliver and Barry Niles.
Mayor Kittoe opened the Public Hearing to the concerned citizens
present:
Jim Olson spoke on behalf of the developers indicating that the
developers are requesting a pre-annexation agreement with the City
of Yorkville. Upon the receipt of this agreement, further details
will be finalized discussing the development. The west side of
Cannonball Trail will be the first part of the development. The
tentative plan has 29 duplexes involved. The Plan Commission
recommended 10% of the lots to be zoned for duplex. The
developers would also comply with all elements of the zoning and
subdivision ordinance. The development will have a lake on the
property versus a retention pond only.
Dave Greiter asked if the density of the project complies with the
City's proposed comprehensive plan.
Alderman Jones responded that it does fall within the density
discussed in the comprehensive plan.
Dave Palowski: Asked a question regarding the proposed lake on the
development asking if the late would be lined if needed. Jim Olson
responded that it would.
Dave Palowski: Asked the City of Yorkville to be sure and take a
hard look at the water options for the development as this area is
already experiencing some water problems. He asked the council to
place this request on hold for up to six months to allow the
council adequate time to analyze this.
City Council Minutes - February 3, 1994 - page 2
Sheri Robinson of Bristol stated she was concerned with the
development's impact on the City, especially the Yorkvlle School
System and if the Council knew if the proposed referendum included
the increases from development such as this. She stated she has
contacted some neighboring cities and stated she felt Yorkville
should analyze the need for development fees as well as the current
impact fees.
Dave Palowski again asked the council to analyze the water drainage
in this area.
Dave Cinto responded to Ms. Robinson's question regarding the
school system being impacted by subdivision such as these. He
stated that the referendum numbers did include data from the
subdivision currently being proposed in the area. He stated if
these subdivisions did not come into play the referendum numbers
could possible be decreased.
Mr. Cinto stated that he had received calls concerning this
subdivision regarding "secret" meetings. Mr. Cinto stated that the
City must be aware of the water problems and act responsibly in
this matter. He stated that he felt the growth was okay as long as
the city controls the growth.
Mr Ken Johnson encouraged the City Council to support the
subdivision. Mr. Johnson feels that since the developers are local
people they will develop the property responsibly. Mr. Johnson
stated that this area is going to changed and that the City must be
willing to have "planned change".
Mrs. Jeannette Bertram stated she objects to this subdivision due
to the density of the development. She does not object to the
annexation or the development idea, but to the density issue.
Dave Palowski responded to Mr. Cinto's statement regarding "secret"
meetings. He stated that there were no secret meetings and has
tried to keep this issue out of "mud slinging" . He stated he is
not opposed to the development but does not want Yorkville to move
too fast in allowing this growth. He again stated he would like
this issue tabled for six months to be sure the city is handling it
correctly.
Sheri Robinson asked a question regarding the duplex issue. She
does not feel this area warrants duplex and it does not fit into
the scheme of the area as there are no rentals in Bristol. She
stated she does not feel that this is affordable housing. Also,
she asked if there is "talk" between the City and the Schools.
Mayor Kittoe responded that the City and Schools do discuss items
and liaisons' are in place.
Alderman Jack Jones stated that a $1,500 transition fee for the
school system was recently implemented by the Council. This fee
was supported by Oliver and Niles.
Mr. Ken Johnson stated he felt this subdivision would not impact
the schools as much as most persons think. He did not think the
owners of the duplex units would have a great many children either.
Alderman Jones responded that the average children per household
was currently a .8 child in the Yorkville area.
Mr. Dave Cinto stated that the school used an average of 1. 2 or 1.3
children per household for the increases used in the referendum
data.
Mr. Verne Poplar raised a question concerning pre-annexation in
relation to the duplex issue.
City Council Minutes - February 3 , 1994 - page 3
Attorney Hiles responded that this only agrees to the annexation
and zoning issue and that the exact percentages would be negotiated
into the pre-annexation agreement.
Jim Olson stated that currently this development would be paying
$1, 150 lot / development fee, $1, 500 school transition fee, and
$800 land cash fee for each lot.
Dave Cinto stated that the fees are a one-time income fee, but the
increased real estate taxes from this development would be long-
range income for the school, etc.
Dave Richmond stated that he felt the duplexes should be allowed
and that the buildings could be built so that they did not "look
like" duplexes. He stated he was happy the city has implemented
the fees as stated above.
Kim Schoenfielder responded that she favored the duplex lots in
this subdivision. She stated that single residents and older
couples would be the population living in these areas.
Dave Greiter asked if the City of Yorkville can handle the
increases such as police and public work needs.
Mayor Kittoe responded that this can be handled.
Dave Palowski also questioned the city's readiness to handle the
increase in police and public work needs such as snow plowing.
Randy Rogers asked the Council to consider what this means to the
others in the area. He does not want this development to damage
the character of this area. He does not agree with the duplexes or
the density of the proposed development.
Jim Olson responded stating that the density is split into five
areas with proposed average lot size of 14, 000, 13, 500, 16, 000,
18, 000 and 17, 000. The 17, 000 avg would be the duplexes.
Jim Olson also indicted that the City has currently expanded the
sewer and water for the Amurol plant. The size etc. will determine
how much development can be handled with out further expansion.
Dave Palowski asked how this property is scheduled to become
contiguous to the current city limits?
Mayor Kittoe responded that this was not currently known and that
others may propose to come into the city after this us all settled.
Tracey White asked for a clarification regarding the comment made
by Mr Olson regarding the sewer and water.
Mr. Howard Shick asked about the expansion on sewer and water, who
pays for it? The developer pays for the expansion and the city
would pay for the maintenance / upkeep.
Mr. Greiter questioned the need to pay for the developer to hook
the Bristol School to sewer / water. Mr. Oliver responded that
this was to be done only if the school wanted it. It would not be
completed if they did not feel a need for sewer and water.
Sheri Robinson stated she was unhappy with the access planned on
Corneils road.
Dave Palowski stated that the increased traffic would be too much
for Corneils road and that the exit from the subdivision should be
planned elsewhere.
Mr. Harold Oliver stated that they were willing to work with the
community for the benefit of the local community.
City Council Minutes - February 3 , 1994 - page 4
One gentlemen stated that he was one of the first to move into the
area and that the developer he did business with did not follow
through with all of the promises made.
Alderman Stafford raised a question regarding what the developers
would do if this was denied. He stated that they would most likely
sell the property and someone else would purchase it. He stated he
thought the neighborhood would be better off with a local developer
than by some outside developer coming in.
Dave Palowski stated he felt the development needed to be upgraded.
Alderman Callmer asked if there were any duplexes currently in
Bristol. Dave Palowski responded two.
Alderman Johnson stated a traffic study would need to be completed
after the agreement on the pre-annexation was made.
With the current density proposed there would be 2 . 3 dwelling units
per acre in the development.
Mr. Jim Bertram asked what occurred if the pre-annexation agreement
was in place and it did not become contiguous to the City limits?
Attorney Hiles stated this was the responsibility of the developer
and that there are no legal ramifications for the city.
Mr. Hiles stated that the platting and engineering would not be
completed until the agreement is in place due to the cost factors
for the developer.
A question was raised concerning the water drainage. Mayor Kittoe
assured everyone that this would be reviewed and that no-one would
be hurt.
Barry Niles stated that a study had been completed which discussed
the burden this development would pose to the City of Yorkville.
Items discussed include public works, police, etc.
Harold Oliver responded to the issue concerning drainage stating
that the law read that the developer cannot discharge more water
than what is already being discharged.
A question was raised concerning the maturity date on a pre-
annexation agreement. This agreement requests a 15 year maturity
date.
Alderman Clark asked for the major points being challenged
regarding this development:
Water problems / discharge
Lot size
Duplex zoning
Corneils Road entrance
Traffic issues
Barry Niles stated that the annexation to the city was needed due
to problems anticipated with well and septic. The land would not
handle this type of situation.
One citizen stated that there was a collapsed tile somewhere near
this area thus increasing the water problems.
Cindy Johnston raised a question concerning police coverage as she
moved from Countryside Subdivision eight months ago and felt that
the City Police did not properly handle problems noted there.
