Meeting Called to Order
Mr. Crouch welcomed everyone and called the meeting was to order at 7:06 p.m.
Roll Call
Roll call was taken. A quorum was established.
Citizen's Comments
There were no guests in attendance.
Previous Minutes
There were no corrections or additions to the minutes of the last meeting so Mr. Baker
moved to approve; the motion was seconded and Mr. Crouch asked if there was any
discussion on the motion. There was none so a vote to accept was made, unanimously
accepted and the motion was carried.
Mr. Couch then turned the meeting over to Ms. Noble.
Ms. Noble opened the meeting by starting with old business:
Old Business:
Chapter 6: Ms. Noble said she revised the titles for the Alternate Fuel Energy
System, added some additional pages to this chapter and changed the format. The
Committee liked the clarity of the new format, but still had issues with content.
Mr. Baker had questions on Special Use in the office space, because it is not in
manufacturing or estate. Ms. Noble is going to add"S"to Small Wind Energy
Systems B-4. Rooftop Wind Energy Systems are allowable in all zoning districts
except the F-1 (floodplain). Mr. Baker and Mr. Crouch don't want them in
Office, either.
Mr. Baker questioned that since M1 and M2 (Manufacturing) are already covered
with Small Wind, isn't any single use going to go Large Wind? Mr. Green and
Mr. Crouch disagreed, using Wrigley as an example. The key is proximity to
houses. Mr. Crouch pointed out that while they may not want them in
Manufacturing, it is an issue to consider. Each case would rise on its own or fall
on its own; there's no good answer.
Mr. Crouch then asked for a consensus on Large Wind Energy System in M-Is:
Mr. Crouch—no (have Large Wind Energy Systems as a Special Use in the M-1
District(wants to wait for input from the other two members of the committee)
Mr. Baker-no
Mr. Green—yes
Mr. Millen—no
Mr. Neyer—yes
Mr. Baker asked if currently there is no height restriction in M-1 district right now
in the current ordinance and Ms. Noble confirmed that was correct and she has
brought that up. Ms.Noble asked for clarification if the committee wanted Small
Wind Energy Systems as a Special Use left in Office—Committee agreed.
Ms. Noble then moved on to Solar Panels. Mr. Baker has an issue with Solar
Farms; why are they in Office? Are they roof-mount or stand-alones? Ms. Noble
said they're stand-alones. She then said she was thinking about the category of
Office that was not accurately described and the uses in Office is actually Office
and Institutional-type uses like colleges, dentists, etc. Mr. Baker suggested taking
it out of Office and Mr. Green then suggested finding out how many free-standing
panels you can have before it turns into a park. Ms. Noble offered free-standing
should be permitted in some districts and special use in others. Mr. Baker and
Mr. Crouch had no problem with that; however, Mr. Baker thought Solar Farms
should be in Ag 1 and not open-space. It is now place holding until there is more
definition.
Chapter 7— Dimensional and Bulk Requirements
Ms. Noble revised the Dimensional and Bulk Regulations table regarding
Religious Institutions maximum height requirements footnote where the word
"apparatus"was removed and now reads, "steeple or apex of the highest point of
a rooftop feature."
Per the request of the Zoning Commission, staff has revised the reference to the
35' Downtown Height Limit Area to now refer to the "Downtown Overlay
District Boundaries"which now refer to the "Downtown Overlay District
Boundaries"which is now proposed with a 80' straight up like the rest of town.
Mr. Baker then asked if the committee could move along to the map because he
had issues with it. He had problems with the map itself as to its relevance of the
lines being correct. Ms.Noble asked if the map reflected what the Committee
wanted to consider as its downtown overlay. Mr. Baker pointed out that there's a
gravel cliff wall that Old Second bank owns that's not on this map. The bank
owns this section(mentions bank drive-thru and surrounding property) and has an
alley off Heustis St. to get to their property. He believes when this plan was put
together, the bank moved this over so they wouldn't have to deal with the
crumbling cliff rock wall which could be a huge hazard. He wanted the line to go
straight across without the little notch. Ms. Noble and Mr. Crouch pointed out it
was a historical downtown map and Ms. Noble how they wanted it to be defined.
Mr. Green said this map came from the Downtown Vision plan and Ms. Noble
confirmed it was used to define the 35' height restriction.
Mr. Baker argued why is the map limiting the downtown TIF boundary district?
Discussions continued on downtown, historical, TIF districts and the widening of
Route 47 and impact on businesses,parking, etc. Since the current map was to
define heights, Ms. Noble suggested taking it off, Mr. Green agreed.
Mr. Baker suggested the Downtown Boundaries be the perimeter of the Fox River
to the North; Mill Street to the East; Fox Street to the South; and Morgan Street to
the West.
Chapter 8—Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Ms. Noble said there weren't a lot of changes to PUD. She took out the language
for the joint meeting with the Park Board.
E. After further discussion with the City Attorney and the ZC, the
proposed"joint review"by the Plan Commission and Park Board when
Park Board review is applicable for PUD approval (residential
development)was not feasible. If this solution is not acceptable, other
alternatives may also be explored by the ZC.
She also removed all of the reverences to pdf, special drawings, etc.
Mr. Baker said that after reading the PUD material, he didn't see any good
direction as who to see first and when while going through the process. Ms.
Noble directed him to page 76, 10-13-45A Pre-application. Mr. Baker agreed
with that and made a note that it doesn't tell you"who." To illustrate his point, he
referred to 10-13-24 Procedures where it lists A., B., C., etc. He thought it
would make it easier. Ms. Noble will add needed information.
Mr. Green then went to page 93, 10-13-10: Conditions for Approval, he didn't
like the language. It says it provides the following standards and then lists a
number of things that aren't standards. He suggested instead"addresses the
following conditions." Mr. Crouch prefers seeing things written from an
affirmative perspective.
The Committee then went on to Chapter 9 A-1 Agricultural District. 10-9-5:
Building Setback Line; Side Yards; Building Height: Mr. Green asked if the
building height is still as the rest of the town— 80'? Ms. Noble said when she did
the category, she inadvertently didn't put in the height. On the chart, building
height was not defined. Mr. Crouch said the tallest building in an Ag district
would be a silo and he was not familiar with the current height and suggested
some research on the subject.
10-9-1: Purpose: Ms. Noble made a change to allow for interim adaptive reuse
of marginal agricultural and/or pasture lands—in other words, land in transition.
It would be for the agricultural side; not the industrial side. Mr. Crouch asked
why paddocks weren't listed in the category for Stables? Ms. Noble agreed that it
should be.
10-9-4: Accessory Uses—"B": Mr. Green thought they had changed it so you
did NOT have to grow or raise on or in the immediate area of the premises; and
extended the temporary permit for a period not to exceed six (6) months, not four
(4) months. Ms. Noble explained four months was just a suggestion. Mr. Green
suggested deleting "live animals."
10-9-5: Building Setback Line; Side Yards; Building Height: Mr. Green
wanted the word"Route 47" added to item 1. Primary thoroughfares, (Routes 34
and 47). Route 71, and Route 126 should be included, too.
10-9-2: Uses Permitted—B. Single-family residential dwellings—Ms. Noble
limited single-family residential dwellings to only three (3) additional single-
family swellings shall be permitted.
10-9-2: C.Auction House added
10-9-3: Special Uses—Daycare: Daycare will be added and should be the same
as R-1. Pre-school is considered the same as Daycare.
Mr. Green asked where did Community Gardens fit in the whole scheme of
things. Ms. Noble said she considered them accessory use in Residential district,
but they would fall in the CBD district.
Since there was not any other business to discuss, Mr. Crouch asked if anyone else had
anything else to add. Since there was nothing, he asked for a motion to adjourn. Mr.
Green so moved; Mr. Baker seconded; all voted"Yes;" and the meeting was adjourned.
Minutes respectfully submitted by:

10-13-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT:
Planned Unit Developments are unique and differ substantially from conventional subdivisions and
therefore require administrative processing as"Special Uses"under this Title. Planned Unit Developments
are a complex type of Special Use, potentially consisting of various land uses and design elements,
requiring the establishment of more specific procedures, standards and exceptions from the strict
application of the zoning district regulations to guide the recommendations of the Plan Commission and the
action of the City Council. The purpose of this chapter, therefore, is to provide for an alternative zoning
procedure under which land can be developed or redeveloped with innovation, increased amenities and
creative environmental and architectural design than would be possible to achieve under the otherwise
standard zoning district regulations while being in general compliance with the planning objectives and
intent of the zoning ordinance. Under this procedure, well planned residential, industrial/manufacturing,
commercial and other types of land uses, individually or in combination, may be developed with design
flexibility allowing for full utilization of the topographical and environmental characteristics of the site.
Planned Unit Developments must have an approved development plan which provides for a unified design,
contiguity between various elements and be environmentally compatible with the surrounding area. There
should be an increased benefit upon the health, safety and general welfare of the public and particularly, in
the immediate surroundings,than developments built in conformity with the underlying district regulations.
If building density is increased above densities allowable by the zoning district in which the use would be
permitted on a particular portion of a PUD;then the amount of open space,retention of existing vegetation,
buffer areas, new landscape, public commons, community open space, and parks shall be evaluated for
proportionate increase for the remainder of the PUD.
The Planned Unit Development is not intended to be a mechanism solely used for the allowance of
increased densities or as a means of circumventing the bulk regulations or zoning standards under this Title,
73
rather a Planned Unit Development shall generally provide attributes in excess of conventional city zoning,
building and other land use requirements such as,but not limited to the following:
A. Providing a maximum choice of the overall living environment through a variety of type, design and
layout of residential structures, commercial and industrial buildings, office and research uses and
public facilities;
B.Demonstrating excellence in environmental design and the mitigation of land use factors or impacts;
C.Promoting a more useful pattern of dedicated open space and recreation areas incorporated as part of the
development plan and that is compatible with the immediate vicinity;
D. Provide public access and pedestrian connectivity via bicycle/recreational paths, sidewalks and/or
alternative modes of transportation.
E. Providing and or preserving substantial landscaping with emphasis given to streetscape areas, buffer
zones, and the provision of significant landscaping(in terms of size of landscape areas and quantity and
quality of landscape materials)within the developed portions of the site;
F. Incorporating a consistent architectural theme which is unique to the specific site and surrounding
community through the use of building materials, signage and way-finding standards as well as design
elements. Generic corporate architecture and big box designs are strongly discouraged but not
prohibited.Uses should be designed according to the limitation of the site rather than the removal of the
limitations. Specific design details such as roof parapets, architectural details, varying roof heights,
pitches and materials and building colors and materials should be addressed;
G. Retain, utilize and incorporate historic features on the project site into the overall project design, if
physically and economically feasible;and/or
H. Promote and strengthen the economic vitality and enhance the aesthetic qualities of unified large-scale
commercial developments.
I. Encourage high-quality planned industrial park environments and well-designed business centers for
single or multiple-tenant facilities.
J. Provide/enhance regional public infrastructure such as roadways, water/sanitary service, storm water
management objectives.
