At this time Mayor Kittoe said that Citizen CITIZEN COMMENTS
Comments will be heard .
See attached list for guests in attendance .
Wilson Burnell , Attorney representing Grant WILSON BURNELL
Harwig and Mary Ratos explained that as far COMMENTS
as he knew that Special Use had not yet been
prepared by Attorney Kramer as Attorney Kramer
had not yet received conditions to be placed
on this Special Use, so the Special Use has
not been prepared at this time . Attorney Kramer
informed Mr . Burnell that this was correct .
Mr . Burnell said that there are 8 considerations
which need to be heard before a change in zoning
is granted . He said that the existing zoning
must be considered which is B-2 , and the existing
uses must be considered for that zoning. He
commented that right next to the property is a
Medical Center and across the road is Hillside
Living Center and that there are homes on Kendall
Drive near the property; and thus he commented
that the proposed use of this property is not
compatible with the neighborhood, and he also
commented that the property values have not been
considered . He also commented that a petition
has been signed by 370 people requesting that
this zoning matter be re-opened and heard again.
In conclusion, he requested that the case be re-
opened and all citizen considerations be heard ,
and he doesn ' t believe that the zoning law has
been complied with.
Grant Harwig read a letter in which he apologized GRANT HARWIG
for those people who did not come forward earlier COMMENTS
and speak regarding the zoning change . He read
that"the zoning change of granting of variances
to allow a muffler/body shop to be constructed on
property in close proximity of homes , apartments ,
retirement homes , a nursing home, a medical facility ,
and beautiful nature areas as a detriment to our
community. " He also read "we do respectfully request
that you listen to our concerns, and accept these
petitions which contain 375 signatures , we do further
respectfully request that you re-open the entire matter
for reconsideration. "
Page 2 August 13 , 1992
He also read that the petitions read as follows :
" We the undersigned , strongly oppose the zoning
change or special use variance allowing a body
shop to be located on Lot 4, Block 1 ,Countryside
Center Unit 1 on West Kendall Drive in Yorkville .
We urge the re-opening of discussion and re-instatement
of the originally intended zoning for this parcel which
protected our well-being and interest . " At this time,
Mr . Harwig submitted the original petitions to Clerk
Albin .
At this time Alderman Bown moved to re-open the zoning MOTION TO
for Dean Fisher ' s approval for reconsideration, seconded RE-OPEN
by Alderman Jahp. Mayor Kittoe questioned if. a . special DEFEATED
committee consisting of a committee from the citizens
and a committee from the Council and talk about this
further at a Committee Meeting. Alderman Bown said
that this _would be appropriate, and that he would like
the Plan Commission involved. Alderman Bown explained
that the Council acted on recommendations from the
Planning Commission and on Council ' s initiative based
on what was felt to be appropriate for the community.
Alderman Pfister "called for the question, and requested
a roll call vote" . Mayor Kittoe clarifed the motion,
saying that it was to re-open discussion, get the Plan
Commission, City Council , and a committee of the citizens
on this . Attorney Kramer replied that it would actually
be a Public Hearing for this , and that those citizens
who did not speak at the last Council Meeting would have
a chance to speak. Clerk Albin called the roll :
Bown - Aye Jones - Nay
Pfister - Nay Fey - Nay
Baird - Nay Clark - Nay
Jahp - Aye
Motion defeated , 5 nays , 2 ayes .
Mary Ratos questioned if a vote was taken without
any further citizen comments . She questioned if
this vote means that no further comments will be
heard, and Mayor Kittoe informed her that this
was not the case , and the floor was open to citizen
comments .
Susan Missing, 412 Center Parkway, questioned if
the body shop belongs in a residential area , and
she commented that she heard that other meetings
regarding this were not "handled properly" . She
further commented that the citizens on Countryside
Center did not "understand what was going on" .
She said that by listening to the Nays and just
listening to the way some Council members spoke
that Council just wanted to move on. She requested
reconsideration of this matter . She also questioned
what would happen if Dean Fisher moves . Mayor Kittoe
answered her by saying that it is B-2 Special Use for
Dean Fisher only, and if he moves the zoning reverts
back to B-2 .
Rich Lucas who owns a body shop in town commented that
he was told by realtors when he was looking for a
location for his body shop that there would be no
changes in zoning in the area, and that if he wanted to have
a body shop in the town of Yorkville "he should move to
the industrial park" .
Alderman Bown commented that before the meeting goes
any further , the citizens should be aware of exactly
what has been proposed. Alderman Bown commented that
in response to Mr . Lucas ' comments , that a realtor
does not make a decision regarding zoning change .
Page 3 August 13 , 1992
Alderman Bown reported that this proposal would be
coming in as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and
that it would be under Government Regulation.
He reported that no changes in appearance and/or
operations could be made without the City ' s approval .
He also reported that if Dean Fisher was to sell
at a later date , and the purchasers would not abide
by the PUD/Zoning Regulations then the property
would revert to B-2 Zoning, and the muffler and
body shops would have to be taken down. Alderman
Bown also reported that there have been considerable
restrictions placed by the Plan Commission in the
planning of this .As far as the Midas Muffler Shop,
it was configured so that there is no outside storage
of materials , any cars that are not finished at the
end of the day have to be placed inside the building,
or moved off-site . He reported that the restrictions
as far as the body shop would include : limited amount
of parking spaces for vehicles being repaired , any-
thing that would exceed the number of spaces would
have to be stored off-site until Mr . Fisher has room
to bring them inside for repair . Alderman Bown
reported that the body shop has a completely enclosed
paint system, completely enclosed prep deck system,
and a special paint-mixing room to protect against
contamination (all of these measures taken so that
there are not supposed to be any -environnental changes in outside
air ) . Alderman Bown commented that he has spoke with
people residing or doing business within a block of
a Midas Muffler shop and found that there is some
noise . Alderman Bown commented also that the body
shops of today are different than the ones in the past ,
in that instead of bending and reshaping metal , most
of their business is in replacing old parts with new.
Glenda Beringer, 105 Blackberry Lane, commented that
her husband is a partner in a body shop in Aurora ,
which also has a Special Use permit . She commented
that her husband ' s body shop is in a gang-infested
neighborhood by railroad tracks , and that nobody
wants to be in that place . She feels that a body
shop belongs in an industrial area . She commented
that the noise level is very high, and in the summer
the doors are open and there are fumes and dust .
She commented that the residents of the nursing home
across the street"will not be able to go out on their
patios without smelling the fumes" . She also commented
that their body shop abides by governmental standards ,
but that OSHA has only inspected their body shop once,
the day in opened five years ago . She commented that
because of government cutbacks the City should be
prepared to make inspections .
Pete Malovich, 106 Blackberry Lane , wanted it noted
that he took exception to Alderman Bown ' s speech
as far as Alderman Bown using the word "supposed" ,
He explained that he is a retired mechanical engineer,
that nobody can assure him that the equipment going
in the body shop will be fool-proof , without paint
sprays, noise and the such. He also commented that
if it is going to be such a nice place why a fence
needed to be put up. He also commented that the
Council is supposed to represent the people in Yorkville ,
not one person, and he also said that if this goes
through "we ' ll see who gets re-elected. "
Charmaine Silka, 229 Hillcrest , questioned the access
to the Midas and Carstar would be . Mayor Kittoe
responded by saying there would be a de-acceleration
lane off of Route 34 as well as an acceleration lane ,
and that nothing will be on Kendall at the back end
of the property . Alderman Baird commented that there
will be one access , with a 150 feet de-acceleration lane.
Page 4 August 13 , 1992
Alderman Baird commented that this proposal was
looked at very carefully over the last four
months , and that alot of time was put into this ,
and that Council would not approve this if they
felt it detrimental to the community.
Mary Ratos commented that she bears no ill-feelings
toward either Dean Fisher or the Council , and she
is aware of the time and effort invested in this ,
however, she feels that the reality of a body shop
in that location is not proper. She requested
that all personal feelings aside, that this case
be re-opened for more testimony from citizens .
Phyllis Oldenburg, 211 W. Kendall Drive, comments
that there is alot of available land in the area
which would be more appropriate for these businesses .
She commented that all she is asking is that the
businesses are located in a more appropriate area,
"not in a residential area" .
Dave Hejmanek questioned Dean Fisher why he chose
this particular property to place his businesses
on.
Dean Fisher responded by first of all commenting
that he was very disappointed by all this .
He explained that he looked the proximity of the
property and how it affected everyone surrounding
it, and that he is aware of the sterotype body
shop with junk cars all over, and that his proposal
is for a "collision repair center" which is unlike
body shops of the past . He commented that he
presented evidence to the Plan Commission to show
why he should be allowed to have his businesses
there . He explained that he would have a 1 . 2 million
dollar build-up for this project , and he also commented
that under B-2 zoning he could come in and erect a
tin shed on the lot , pave all 2 .4 acres , and put a
rental car facility there with 50 cars a day, and
park them 24 hours a day. He also commented that he
could put a billiard hall on that property. He
explained that what he proposed would look as nice
or nicer than surrounding buildings , with his plans
to include designer block and brick, designer fencing ,
and landscaping. He commented that in order to
compete in the future with "collision repair centers"'
and modernize , he needs 8 to 10 employees , more
computerization. He commented that he will have
carbon prep-decks that will not exhaust to the outside
air,down-draft spray booths which would handle any
fume problem. He also explained the earth-berming
system he would use at the back of the property,
no gravel on the property, lined parking spaces , and
he would be leaving a 40 foot grassy area for the
existing water retention problem. He commented that
he has shown evidence that he will be clean and protect
the environment . He also commented that his current
body shop is located next to his house, and his children
are fine, and that there is not a "blade of dead grass"
in his yard . Mr . Fisher explained he needed a retail
outlet, not an industrial park, for these businesses .
Mr . Fisher believes that he could have put up the businesses ,
and no-one would even be able to tell what they are.
Mr . Fisher commented that under a PUD he has to abide
by strict regulations .
Wilson Burnell questioned what evidence was brought before
the Plan Commission regarding this as far as equipment ,
and he doesn ' t believe a sufficient hearing was held to
cover the points which need to be considered such as
EPA and property values . Dean Fisher answered that he
showed Plan Commission all plans and answered all their
questions , and he commented that the body shops of the
past have set a poor example in this business .
Page 5 August 13 , 1992
Edna , from the Senior Citizens home questioned
where Mr . Fisher will keep the cars , and he
answered that he may maintain his body shop by
his home for additional storage, or he may even
rent a building in the industrial park for this
purpose.
Casey Duffy, representing the Senior Citizen ' s
Housing, showed an affidavit signed by Cheryl
Albin, City Clerk, showing that she had sent
notification to the adjacent property owners , and
he commented that although the legal requirements
have been met , he questioned the "moral obligation"
to all surrounding residents and property owners .
He felt that only notifying the three adjacent
property owners this action was inappropriate .
He also commented that Dr . Hatcher didn ' t get a
chance to speak at the Council meeting when the
zoning was passed, until it was too late . He
feels that this matter should be reconsidered on
a "moral obligation basis" . He also commented
that the residents of the senior citizen homes are
afraid of the fumes .
Attorney Kramer responded by saying that all of
the legal requirements were met regarding publication,
however he understood that there was some confusion
at the July 23 , 1992 Council meeting as far as
when Dr . Hatcher , Mr . Missing and a couple of
Countryside residents should have spoken. Attorney
Kramer suggested to the Mayor and Council because of
the confusion on July 23 , that a Building and Zoning
Committee Meeting be set up to take down the citizen ' s
concerns .
Glenda Beringer commented that although Dean Fisher
runs a very clean business , and will have highly
sophisticated equipment in his shop, she is concerned
as far as who will inspect his business to assure the
community of it ' s safe environment . Alderman Bown
responded by saying that because it is PUD the City
has an obligation to make sure that the business
maintains the standards which it goes in under .
Ms . Beringer questioned if the City has an employee
that is qualified to do this type of testing . Alderman
Bown explained that not at the present time, however,
he explained that training of City employees is an on-
going function.
Dean Fisher at this time made a gesture to include
6 or so people from the concerned citizens to follow
his proposal through the PUD stage and to be involved
with this .
At this time an unidentified citizen questioned Dean
Fisher if he has enough confidence in his operation
to have the City Council re-open this matter for public
discussion. Dean Fisher responded by saying that when
the vote took place to approve his zoning request , he
was under contractural obligation, that he had put money
down, and was under contract with developers , and he
commented that if the B-2 Special Use is rescinded there
will be alot of problems . He also commented that Midas
Muffler would be very upset . He once again offered to
involve a group of citizens to go through this with him,
in the hopes that he can provide some comfort level .
He commented that he has spent 6 months working on this ,
sacrificed his family, and spent thousands of dollars to
get to this point , and he will not "dry up like a prune
and go away" .
Jenny Lund , 122 Blackberry, conceded that while she knows
Dean Fisher runs a very good business , she was unaware of
his plans when she recently purchased her home, and she doesn ' t
believe this type of business belongs there.
Page 6 August 13 , 1992
Pete Malovich said that he doesn ' t understand
what is going on as far as the Council sitting
there, and Mr. Fisher threatens that he is "going
to do something to the community" and Council
sat there and did nothing. Mr . Malovich no one
had the "guts to get up and say something" , and this
point , Alderman Jones got up to speak, and Mr . Malovich
ordered him to sit down, saying he wasn ' t finished
speaking yet . Mr. Malovich continued by saying that
Mr . Fisher was threatening the people of Countryside
by telling them what could have been put in that
location, such as a "tin shed" . Mr . Malovich commented
that this proposal of Dean Fisher ' s is a "gamble" .
At this time Wilson Burnell commented that he would
like to disavow himself from any of these statements .
He further commented that these statements were out
of order, and Mayor Kittoe thanked him.
Alderman Jones began by apologizing, and then spoke
in defense of Alderman Bown . He commented that
Alderman Bown made the Fishers "jump through so many
hoops" and that initially Alderman Bown wasn ' t for
this , and that he should be commended, instead of being
verbally assaulted . Alderman Jones commented that he
himself was reluctant as first also, but he is so
confident now that if it were possible, he would let
the body shop locate next to him. He commented that
he feels the Fishers would be an asset to the community
and to the tax base , and feels it will look very nice.
Phyllis Oldenberg commented that she feels re-zoning
should only be used as a last resort when there is no
other property available, and she feels that this property
is unsuitable for Fisher ' s proposal .
Richard Lucas questioned if a business man like himself
would be able to find property in town, could he get it
rezoned for a body shop too? Mayor Kittoe informed him
that each situation is looked at individually, and he
would have to present his application to Plan Commission.
Dick Missing, 412 Center Parkway commented that no-one
came to the people in Countryside asking if they wanted
a body shop. Mr . Missing also commented that because
nobody understood when to speak at the July 23 meeting,
he feels the whole thing should be re-opened . Mayor Kittoe
commented that Mr . Missing had said he didn ' t know about
the body shop until it was too late , however, the April
15 Plan Commission Minutes shows Mr . Missing present .
Mr . Missing commented that he was in attendance against the
Purcell petition. Mayor Kittoe noted that Mr . Missing
did not speak against the Fisher petition at the Fisher
Public Hearing held that evening also . Mr . Missing said
that April 15 was the first he was aware of Fisher ' s proposal ,
and said that there wasn ' t anything in the paper about it .
Mr . Missing then corrected himself , saying that he didn ' t
see anything in the paper about it .
At this time Alderman Bown commented that there are legal
notices placed in the paper for all Public Hearings .
Alderman Bown commented that it would be very difficult to
inform all of his constituents of everything coming up.
Mr . Missing commented that the legal notices are hidden
in small print at the back of the paper. Alderman Bown
read an article taken from page 8 of the July 2 , 1992
from the Kendall County Record . The article reported that
the Council had voted to create a Special Use Category
( see attached article) . Some residents said that they saw
the article but they were not sure about the location, as
the paper said "west of Kentucky Fried Chicken" regarding
the location of Fisher ' s proposal .
An unidentified person questioned how the vote went earlier
in the evening regarding re-opening the case . At this time,
the citizens present questioned why they were still sitting
there, as the vote had been taken.
Page 7 August 13 , 1992
An unidentified citizen commented that it is sad
that the Council is taking business over property
owners .
Bob Johnson, 120 Blackberry Lane, questioned Attorney
Kramer regarding any recourse . Attorney Kramer
informed him that the Mayor had just been discussing
setting up a Building and Zoning Committee Meeting,
to give a forum for the citizens to express their
opinions, also to have Mr . Fisher attend to address
their concerns . Mayor Kittoe said at this time he
would like to set up a committee involving the citizens ,
Council , and Dean Fisher together to meet on this .
Mayor Kittoe suggested the citizens get together 6
people to sit in on this , and be involved .
Mary Ratos once again commented that she doesn ' t doubt
that Dean Fisher will have a good business , but stressed
that it belongs in another, more suitable location.
She also comments that it seems like Council doesn ' t
care to listen, since a vote was taken so early in the
meeting.
Ken Sidler , 203 W. Kendall , proposed a recount or a re-vote MTG. SET
before the citizens leave. Alderman Pfister requested the (8/20 )

Kittoe requested Administrator Peck to check on the availability
of the Beecher Center . Mayor Kittoe requested that the meeting
recess for 10 minutes , and requested that a "spokesperson" from
the citizens come forward that would be willing to let people
