ATTORNEY ' S REPORT - Attorney Kramer reported the River St . Apts .
Police Department has served notices to the tenants
of the River Street apartments regarding the shutting
off of water service if the delinquent bill is not
paid by the owners of the building.
Attorney Kramer reported that the old city records CS Center Apts.
were researched regarding any information on the
northeast corner of Countryside Center Subdivision
that is zoned multi-family . In 1978 or 1979 it
was subdivided into 8 lots , and a special plat
approved , but it was not a P .U . D . There were
specific plans for parking and landscaping. Attorney
Kramer and Mayor Davidson will meet with Farmers Home
Administration on May 29 , 1987 providing a meeting
can be scheduled . Attorney Kramer further stated the
property is zoned for multi-family use, and that no
permit is needed other than building permits required ,
to put up apartments in that area. Attorney Kramer
stated that the city has the right to object , but must
be done by a governmental body with a rational basis .
Alderman Jennings reported that he met with Country-
side Center Homeowners regarding the issue, and at
that meeting it was brought out that Barb 0-Donnell
referred to two letters signed by Mayor Davidson,
in 1986 . Mr . Stafford submitted copies of those two
letters for review. The letters stated only that the
property was zoned for apartments , and requested that
further plans be submitted for review.
Mr . Stafford stated he has a petition signed by 400
city residents objecting to low-income housing being
put on the property . He also stated that Barb
O ' Donnell surmised that if the citizens don' t want
the project here , they will take it elsewhere to be
constructed, but was under the impression from the
two letters from Mayor Davidson that the city was
backing the project . Mr . Stafford stated he would
like to see a public hearing set up where all persons
involved could lay out their ideas at one time for
discussion.
Mayor Davidson stated that it is only an assumption
at this point that low-income housing is proposed for
the specific area being it is a Federal group involved .
Page 2 May 28, 1987
More information will be available following the
meeting with the developer and financial representative .
He can only speak for himself , and not the city council
at this point .
Mr . Stafford stated that rents will be subsidized by
the state , and the project will begin with loan approval
on June 30 , 1987 .
Alderman Pfister responded that date cannot possibly be
met due to procurement of an EPA permit for one thing .
Mayor Davidson responded that the plans will most likely
need a BOCA review, when submitted, which will also take
some time .
Alderman Jennings stated he did not feel there were 36
families in Yorkille who would qualify without bringing
in families from outside the city limits , and if this
were the case , there is not a need in Yorkville .
Alderman Radke stated he felt a public hearing with
Farmers Home Administration should be scheduled to
hear all of the objections to the development .
A citizen asked why Yorkville was sought where there is
no need, economically, for this type of housing .
Alderman Jennings responded that someone has to apply
for this , and he would guess it was the owner of the
property.
Mayor Davidson and Alderman Jennings both stated the
city council ' s responsibility is to represent their
constituents .
Alderman Hayden stated that he would reserve judgement
since we now have two government subsidized apartment
buildings for senior citizens , and there have been
no problem with them, and they are very nice .
Attorney Kramer will relay the outcome of the meeting
with the financial backers , and developers to Alder-
men Jennings & Fahrlander as soon as the meeting takes
place .
