All citizens present introduced themselves.

K PC92-2, & K Well Drilling Annexation and Rezoning. K & K WELL DRILLING
Seconded by Alderman Jahp and motion carried. When asked
for comments, Pete Malovich talked against the Fisher
proposal . No other comments were made relevant to the an-
nexation and rezoning. Alderman Flown made a motion to
move out of Public Hearing, seconded by Alderwoman Clark
and motion carried.
At this time the Mayor called for citizens' comments. All CITIZENS ' COMMENTS
comments were in regard to the Fisher rezoning. Ron FISHER REZONING
McLaren felt that there was not enough water supply and
that developer should prove there is no risk or danger.
Dan Hatcher felt that there was a fire and safety hazard,
from a medical standpoint there could be problems for the
senior citizens, noise pollution effect on biomedical
equipment for treating patients & there has been a mandate
from the citizens to review this again. Paula Davis is a
foster parent with children on monitors and is concerned
with the effect the shop may have on the monitors. Edna
Knutson thought it was a muffler shop and now it is a
paint shop. Wendy McLaren asked when a new alderman would
be appointed in Countryside (Ward 4) . She feels issue
should be resolved after a new alderman is appointed.
Mayor Kittoe announced he would bring a recommendation to
the next meeting. Attorney Kramer explained that the
zoning was passed and that State Law and Roberts Rules of
Order require that if you are going to move to reconsider
an issue the only person who can bring that back to the
floor is someone on the prevailing side. At that meeting
a motion was made and seconded and the vote was 5-2 not to
reconsider , so the matter, can not be done on a legal
vehicle by reconsideration. The motion to approve was
passed at a City Council meeting and a motion to recon-
sider must be raised at the very next meeting of the
governmental body. The zoning stands at that point. The
Council has 2 alternatives - do nothing or if any alderman
feels tonight that the zoning should not have been granted
or that the motion was not proper, a motion to rescind the
zoning can be made by any of the aldermen and must be
passed by a 2/3 vote. Alderman Clark made a motion to re- FISHER REZONING ISSUE
scind the zoning on the Fisher rezoning and send it back
to Planning Commission for public hearing. Seconded by
Alderman Gown. Deputy Clerk Bell called the roll :
Fey - Nay,
Baird - flay
Jones - Nay
Clark. - Aye
Jahp - Aye
Gown - Aye

On August 19 the Planning Commission held three public NILES ANNEXATION
hearings. The first was the Barry Niles Annexation and
Rezoning on the property to the east of Yorkville and
south of Rt. 34. Barry Niles indicated that he was not
prepared to continue with the public hearing at that time
and asked that it be brought back later. The Planning
Commission agreed and it will be come before the Planning
Commission of September 16. The property owners and ad-
jacent owners will again be notified as to that public
hearing.
The second public hearing dealt with the amendment to the ADD AG ZONING
City's Zoning Ordinance to add an agricultural zoning
classification. They asked for comments from the public
and there were none and the hearing was closed.
The third public hearing was for the annexation of t & K K & K WELL DRILLING
Well Drilling into the City of Yorkville. There were no ANNEXATION
comments from the public and that public hearing was

tion carried. Alderman Sown made a motion that the attor-
ney continue with the annexation of K e, K Well Drilling
into the City. Seconded by Alderman Jahp. Motion

at Immanuel & Legion Rds. to build an additional tower and
a building as a backup to WSPY. Alderman Sown made a mo-
tion that the City recommend to the County that Mr.
Nelson 's application for rezoning and tower construction
be approved. Seconded by Alderman Baird. Motion carried.

Page 3 August 27, 1992
recommendation from the Planning Commission is that John
St. be left as a through street all the way through the
complex to enable the properties to the west to be
developed in an orderly manner. The Commission also asked
that on any plans to be developed that the entrance to 34
or any future entrances would be at the westerly edge of
that property and not in the City. The Planning Commis-
sion would like the City to draw up a resolution and
present to the County stating that no more buildings be
built on that property without Planning Commission input
and approval since it is within the City limits. One of
the reasons for this is that an Animal Shelter has been
built without becoming before the Zoning Commission. The
shelter is in close proximity to their property line and
may put some limitations on property to the back side of
their property. The Commission felt they would have liked
to have made some recommendations as to sound shielding or
buffer zone between the Animal Shelter and the property
line in back. Alderman Sown made a motion that the City
Attorney draw up a Resolution and present to the County
indicating that any future development on that property
must go through the same Planning Commission stages as any
developer in the community and that streets be named as
they are platted and not changed. Seconded by Alderman
Jones. Motion carried.

brought to the City Council around the middle of October.
