Jones moved and Baker seconded to open PC 2011-01. Unanimous voice vote approval.
Ms. Barksdale-Noble said the Kendall County Fair Association filed an application to
rezone their unincorporated property. Currently they are zoned A-1 Special Use and the
B-4 requested is specific to their needs. The County encouraged the Association to seek
this rezoning to release them from A-1 that has strict criteria for density,use and
setbacks, etc and based on their needs. It was noted the County B-4 differs from the City
B-4. This Commission has been asked to forward any comments or concerns. It was
noted the request is compatible with the City's Comprehensive Plan.

2. Plan Commission Submittal Deadline Schedule for 2011
Ms. Barksdale-Noble said that the previous Community Development Director had
provided this deadline information and she updated it. Crouch recommended against
having a meeting on Ash Wednesday, but overall said the second Wednesday of the
month works well. He said detailed deadlines are beneficial for developers to avoid very
late submittals as in the past.
Additional Business
Jones asked about the OTB approval status. It opened December 24th and every month
the City and County will each receive I% of the wagers. Between December 24 and
January 24, the OTB brought in about $80,000 in wagers and the City received $800.
Larger amounts should be received for the major events and betting extends to outside of
Illinois.

adjourn the meeting. Adjourned 7:15pm.

Subject: PC 2011-02 Subdivision Control Ordinance Text Amendment
Background
Staff is continuingly reviewing the current City codes and standards to ensure that they
are comparable to current State statutes. Recently, it was discovered that the current Subdivision
Control Ordinance provisions regarding exemptions to requirements for plats would preclude the
division of a parcel or tract of land into two (2) lots where no new road or access easement is
needed without having to initiate a preliminary and final plat approval process.
Presently, Section 11-1-4 of the Subdivision Control Ordinance, adopted in 2004 and last
revised in 2009, allows for eight (8) instances where land can be subdivided without the
requirement of a plat which are as follows (also refer to attached):
A. The division or subdivision of land into parcels or tracts of five (5) acres or more in
size which does not involve any new streets or easements of access;
B. The division of lots or blocks of less than one acre, in any recorded subdivision,
which does not involve any new streets or easements of access;
C. The sale or exchange of parcels of land between owners of adjoining and
contiguous land;
D. The conveyance of parcels of land or interests therein for use as right of way for
railroads or other public utility facilities which does not involve any new streets or
easements of access;
E. The conveyance of land owned by a railroad or other public utility which does not
involve any new streets or easements of access;
F. The conveyance of land for highway or other public purposes or grants or
conveyances relating to the dedication of land for public use or instruments relating
to the vacation of land impressed with a public use;
G. Conveyances made to correct descriptions in prior conveyances;
H. The sale or exchange of parcels or tracts of land existing on the date of adoption of
this title into no more than two (2) parts, and not involving any new streets or
easement of access.
Requested Text Amendment
Staff proposes to amend the language of exemption "H" under the definition of
"Subdivision"to read as follows:
"The sale or exchange of parcels or tracts of land into no more than two
parcels not involving any new streets or easements of access, provided each
parcel meets the minimum lot size of the zoning district in which it is located. "
Staff Comments & Recommendation
The removal of the restriction to only parcels or tracts of land existing on the adoption
date of the Subdivision Control Ordinance, and adding the provision that the resulting subdivided
lots must meet the minimum size requirement for the district in which they are located, allows
for greater flexibility in staff processing future development applications. This also results in a
more streamlined review process between entitlement and building permit issuance.
Therefore, staff is supportive of the proposed amended text to the Subdivision
Control Ordinance and recommends approval by the Plan Commission.
