1 quadrant 94--foot monopole galvanized tower upon
2 the property at 1947 Highway 34 , which is also
3 known as the transmission auto place right on the
4 corner at Bldamain and Highway 34 .
07:05PM 5 Inside your packets you see that we
6 have submitted plans and we have received
7 recommendations from the City' s Staff and also the
8 Zoning Board of Appeals .
9 Their recommendations were to
07:05PH 10 increase the landscaping with tree species, to set
11 back the tower to meet the current standardb, and
12 also to widen the -- widen the access road and
13 pave the road to 14 feet in order to meet the
14 county standards, Kendall County standards, of
07:JGPM 15 possibly expanding that Eldamain Road someday.
16 I note there were one other comment
17 that I just quickly read from Staff was for a
18 unified shelter if there are going to be
19 co-locaters in the future, so what we are willing
07:05PM 20 to do is make our shelter co-locatable as well,
21 provide an extension so that it would look like
22 one whole unit in the future .
23 This site will be co-locatable for
24 our competitors, not only competitors, but also

Memorandum
�`= K To: Plan Commission
From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director
esr 3838 CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator
.� Date: November 4, 2010
0; n, Subject: PC 2010-12—Christofferson/Schwarz
<CE vV Request for PUD Amendment for Rezoning
Petitioners' Request:
The petitioners, James Christofferson and Jennifer Schwarz, are requesting an
amendment to an existing Planned Unit Development Agreement for Lots 1, 2 and 3 East Van
Emmon Road for the purpose of rezoning the lots from R-2 Duplex PUD to B-2 General
Business District. Each Iot is approximately 15,000 square feet (100' x 150') for an overall total
of 1.03-acres.
Background:
The three parcels (Lots 1, 2 and 3 E. Van Emmon Road) were zoned R-2 Duplex PUD per
Ordinance No. 1998-20 (refer to attached) Authorizing the Execution of the Kuczskowski
Planned Unit Development Agreement dated June 11, 1998. Although the PUD Agreement was
executed by the previous owners of the subject parcels, it is binding upon the current owners of
the property and is in effect until June 11, 2018. Some stipulations of the agreement include the
following:
A. Minimum Lot Size of 14,000 square feet.
B. Property shall not be improved with more than 6 units of housing.
C. Be subject to a development plat and detailed site plan containing setbacks,
heights of buildings not to exceed those set out in the R-2 Duplex zoning at the
time commencement of construction is made. Developer shall further dedicate an
additional 7 feet to the right-of-way along Van Emmon Road to a total of 40 feet
on the developer's side of the centerline.
D. Specific development and design criteria regarding the construction of duplex
units.
E. The existing drainage ditch on the property will be made to control the PUD's
stormwater runoff.
After being granted PUD approval for a townhome development, the former owners
submitted preliminary site plans to the city but never received final plat approval. No
redevelopment of the site ever occurred, and the parcels remain vacant with dense forestation.
This area is also challenged with steep topography and stormwater drainage issues. Recently, the
city oversized a watermain along Van Emmon to accommodate the Kendallwood Estates
development and proposes the future construction of a 10-foot wide trail across the frontage of
these parcels.
B-2 General Business Zoning Comments:
Staff has analyzed the existing land uses and zoning surrounding the subject parcels in
consideration of the proposed rezoning from a residential land use to a commercial land use. The
following chart provides details of those land uses:
Existing Zoning Existing Land Use Comments
• Van Emmon Road is a two-lane roadway
in this area between Mill Street and
Woodland Drive. Similar in character to
a local residential street used primarily
Van Emmon Rd. for access to abutting properties.
N/A • Transportation land use defined as a
"Major Collector' in the Comprehensive
Plan.
North • Major Collectors are considered main
traffic thoroughfares which facilitates
12,000 ADT.
M-1 Limited Manufacturing Residential Single-family dwelling located at 325 E.
Van Emmon Road.
Manufacturing/ Titan Injection Parts & Services- Food
M-1 Limited Manufacturing Industrial products machinery located at 319 E. Van
Emmon Road.
South R-2 One Family Residence Residential/Wooded Single-family dwelling located at 328 E.
Van Emmon Road.
R-2 One Family Residence Residential/Wooded Radiator and Repair business(Special Use
East B-4 Business District(Special Commercial Business Permit-Ord. 1988-17)
Use
R-3 General Residential Residential property. Possibly multi-family
West District Residential dwellin .
Bulk Requirements
Since the proposed rezoning request does not have a site/development plan a detailed review of
the B-2 General Business District bulk regulations was not required. However, any future land
use proposed on the parcels must comply with the permitted or special uses listed in Section 10-
7C-1 and 10-7C-2 of the zoning ordinance that were in effect as of the date of the petitioner's
application for PUD Amendment (see attached). The following B-2 bulk regulations will also
apply:
• Minimum lot requirement of 10,000 square feet;
• Maximum lot coverage of 80%;
• Maximum building height of six (6) stories or eighty-feet (80'), whichever is lower;
• A required transitional yard of thirty feet (30') along the eastern boundary of Lot 3 due to
its adjacency to an R-2 zoned property. A transitional yard is not required between B-2
zoned properties and properties zoned R-1 or R-2.
• Required side yard setback of 20 feet and a rear yard setback of 20 feet.
• Although there is no required front yard setback within the B-2 zoning district, staff
recommends a minimum 10-foot wide setback from the proposed new right-of-way to
remain consistent with the existing residential character of the neighborhood, particularly
the residence to the west. This recommended setback also allows for adequate
separation/clearance between the building frontage and proposed future trail.
Recent Trends in Development in General Area:
• In 1988, the parcel immediately adjacent to the east of Lot 3 of the subject parcels was
rezoned from R-2 One-Family District to B-4 Special Use for a radiator repair business.
• In 2005, the River Oaks Development located just east of the subject parcels at the
southeast and south west corners of E. Van Emmon and Benjamin Street were rezoned
from R-1 One-Family Residence District to B-2 General Business District.
Other Code/Ordinance Considerations:
• Comprehensive Plan - The parcels are located within an area designated as "Traditional
Neighborhood within the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The character for the Traditional
Neighborhood designation is residential with anticipated infill development.
• TIF District — The parcels are located within the Yorkville Downtown Tax Increment
Finance (TIF) district. Land uses identified in the Redevelopment Plan for the TIF call
for a "Mixed Use District: Residential, Commercial. Public. Institutional. Open Space
and Recreational".
• Appearance Code — Any future building are subject to the provisions in the City's
Appearance Code (Ord. 2005-51).
• Landscape Ordinance - Any future development will be subject to the provisions in the
City's Landscape Ordinance.
Staff Recommendations:
Based upon the existing surrounding land use and the recent trend in development from
residential to commercial zoning within the area, staff recommends approval of the request
subject to the following:
• If a unified development plan is proposed for the entire approx. 1-acre area, the lots
should be consolidated into one-single parcel, to ensure only one primary structure is
located on the lot.
• Any future land use proposed on the parcels must comply with the permitted or special
uses listed in Section 10-7C-1 and 10-7C-2 of the zoning ordinance that were in effect as
of the date of the petitioner's application for PUD Amendment.
• DeveIoper shall dedicate an additional seven (7) feet to the right-of-way along Van
Emmon Road for a total of 40 feet on the developer's side of the centerline to
accommodate a future 10-foot wide trail across the frontage of Van Emmon Road.
• Maintain a minimum 10-foot wide front yard setback from the proposed new right-of-
way.
• Developer should provide a recapture payment for the portion of the recent watermain
over-sizing cost proportionate to the frontage of the parcels which staff estimates as
$10,156.16.'
Total length of 16" watermain was 1.489 linear Feet. (101,605/1489= $68.24 per linear foot). The cost is equally distributed
along both sides of Van Emmon (68.2412 =$34,12 per frontage Font).The total frontage of the Christofferson parcels is 297.66
feet,therefore 297.66 x 34.12=$1 0,156.16.
Findings of Fact;
In considering rezoning requests, the Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to make
findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to the
following matters:
a. Existing uses of property within the general area of the property in question.
b. The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in
question.
c. The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing
zoning classification.
d. The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in question,
including changes, if any, which have taken place since the day the property in
question was placed in its present zoning classification.
e. The impact that such reclassification and/or annexation will have upon traffic and
traffic conditions on said routes; the effect, if any, such reclassification and/or
annexation would have upon existing accesses to said routes; and the impact of
additional accesses as requested by the petitioner upon traffic and traffic conditions
and flow on said routes. (Ord. 1976-43, 11-4-1976)
Additional factors to be considered for an amendment to a zoning ordinance as determined by
the `LaSalle' case should also be considered. These factors are as follows:
1) The existing uses and zoning of nearby property;
2) The extent to which property values are diminished by the particular zoning
restrictions;
3) The extent to which the destruction of property values of plaintiff promotes the
health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the public;
4) The relative gain to the public as compared to the hardship imposed upon the
individual property owner;
5) The suitability of the subject property for the zoned purposes;
6) The length of time the property has been vacant as zoned considered in the
context of land development in the area in the vicinity of the subject property;
7) The community need for the proposed use; and,
8) The care with which the community has undertaken to plan its land use
development.

�� �� '� 4 a 0 Subject: PC 2010-13 - Text Amendment to identify an Off-Track Betting
(OTB) facility as an allowed Special Use within the B-2 General
Business District.
Petitioner's Request:
Ultimate Sports Bar, Inc. on behalf of Post Time Catering, Inc. has submitted an application to
amend the City's zoning ordinance to identify an off-track betting (OTB) facility as an allowed use
within the B-2 General Business District. The applicant is also seeking under a separate request Special
Use approval to operate an OTB facility in the Ultimate Sports Bar located within the Towns Crossing
retail development pending the Plan Commission's recommendation of the proposed text amendment.
State Regulation of Off-Track Betting (OTB) Facilities:
Off-track betting (OTB) facilities, also referred to as inter-track wagering locations, are regulated
under the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975, as amended, and enforced by the Illinois Racing Board.
Under this legislation, racetracks are each granted up to six (6) licenses to own and operate locations in
the state where patrons wager on the outcomes of real-time televised horse races taking place at an
Illinois race track or an authorized track outside the state. Currently, there are six (6) racetracks in
Illinois and approximately twenty-five (25) off-track betting facilities.2
According to the Illinois Horse Racing Act, off-track betting facilities may only be located in
areas that are zoned for commercial or manufacturing purposes or as a special use. Further, OTBs are
prohibited at any location within 500 feet of an existing church, school, or residences of 50 or more
registered voters without receiving written permission from a majority of the registered voters of the
residences. In August 2009, the Illinois Horse Racing Act was amended to clarify "schools" the facilities
may not be located near are elementary or secondary public or private schools recognized by the State
Board of Education.
Possibly as a response to the citing requirements, a recently growing trend in OTB facilities is to
establish joint-venture partnerships with neighborhood sports bars and/or restaurants. The sports bar
and/or restaurant provides the venue for patrons of the OTB to dine, place wagers and view live horse
racing broadcasts on television monitors located throughout the facility. Accordingly, state law requires
the entity of the partnership selling or providing the food and beverages as part of the OTB operation,
referred to as a"concessionaire", to also be licensed by the Illinois Racing Board.
Aside from the sales tax revenue generated from the food establishment component, OTB
facilities are required to pay a monthly I% City Tax Contribution and 1% County Tax Contribution of
all wagers handled at their location. In 2009, wagering at off-track betting facilities in Illinois generated
approximately $396 million, of which $7.92 million was revenue collected by local city and county
government ($3.96 million each). 3
Fairmont Park is entitled to seven(7)licenses.

'Source:Summary of Surcharges and Revenues to Local Governments from Off Track Parlors in 2009 cited in the Illinois Racing Board
2009 Annual Report(pg.21).
B-2 General Business District:
As proposed, off-track betting facilities would be allowed as a special use o_ my within the B-2
General Business District which is consistent with state requirements and be defined as follows:
Off-Track Betting (OTB) Facility: an inter-track wagering_facility or location licensed by the
Illinois Racing Board whose physical premises, structure and equipment is utilized_for the legal wager
on the outcome of a simultaneously televised horserace taking place at an Illinois race track or a race
track outside of Illinois as prescribed in the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 as amended.4
Since the City of Yorkville's zoning districts are cumulative, meaning all special uses permitted
in the B-2 General Business District are also permitted in the B-3 and B-4 District (see attached), staff
proposes excluding/prohibiting OTBs from these districts. Not only is the proposed OTB operation
more compatible with the retail/service type uses of the B-2 District, but a majority of the B-2 zoned are
located along Il Rte. 47 and US 34 conducive for higher volumes of traffic and easy vehicular
accessibility during special horseracing events. Based upon the citing requirements of the Illinois Horse
Racing Act, staff estimates there are approximately 77 parcels of the 93 parcels currently zoned B-2 that
could be considered for an OTB facility. The attached map illustrates the locations within the City that
meet the citing criteria should the proposed text amendment be approved.
Staff is also proposing that OTB facilities be an ancillary use only allowed to be located within
a restaurant/food establishment and no more 45% of the commercial space's gross floor area can be
dedicated for the utilization and operation of the OTB. This is in-line with the business model of new
off-track betting facilities and restricts the wagering component from being the primary or sole use.
OTB Facilities in Other Communities:
Staff has researched the regulation of off-track betting facilities in other Illinois communities
such as The Foundry in Aurora, Stoney Point Grill in Mokena, and Adam's Sports Bar and OTB in
Buffalo Grove. These 0T13 facilities are also located adjacent to or near major arterial roadways and
were approved as special uses. The following table provides information about how each surveyed
community identifies off-track betting facilities, how they are classified, the zoning district they are
allowed in and the date the location opened. This should serve as a guide for the Plan Commission as to
how Yorkville's proposed text amendment to allow OTBs as a special use in the B-2 General Business
District might compare to other communities.

LABORATORY
Over the past year the University of Illinois at Chicago Animal Forensic Toxicology
Laboratory has conducted one of the most comprehensive equine drug testing programs in
the country. The laboratory accomplished this by employing an extensive array of enzyme
linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to routinely screen samples for prohibited substances.
These tests are highly sensitive and allow the laboratory to screen for a wide range of
pharmaceutical substances. In addition, the laboratory routinely tests equine blood samples
for violations exceeding the permitted levels of furosemide, flunixin, phenylbutazone,
oxyphenbutazone, and total carbon dioxide (TCO2). The laboratory updated its TCO2 analysis
which now provides the Board with additional information. In consultation with the Illinois
Racing Board (IRB), the laboratory implemented a routine screening protocol designed to
monitor a compliance with the Board's anabolic steroid regulations.
The laboratory continues to assist the track stewards and security personnel in
investigating possible doping violations that employ methods designed to circumvent our
standard testing procedures. The laboratory also investigates and reports on special items
such as syringes, drug vials and other contraband that are collected or seized at the
racetracks.
The laboratory continues participation in two external proficiency testing programs: the
International Association of Racing Commissioners Quality Assurance Program and the
International Proficiency Testing Program conducted by the Association of Official Racing
Chemists. The laboratory maintained a perfect score on all blinds and proficiencies in 2009.

WHAT IS PURSE RECAPTURE?
Purse recapture is a 1995 provision of the law that allows racetracks to recoup losses on live handle brought on by the
authorization of full-card simulcasting of races from other states. Handle on Illinois races as a percentage of total Illinois handle
has dropped from 95%in 1994 to 26%in 2009. The recapture amount is 2%of the decrease of lllinois handle on Illinois races
from 1994. The recapture monies allocated to the racetracks are deducted from the horsemen's purse accounts. In 1999,
legislation was passed that authorized annual appropriations to the Department of Agriculture for reimbursement to purse accounts
equal to the recapture amounts. The appropriation is an annual decision,the racetracks will always receive their monies,either
from the State or from the originally intended horsemen's purse accounts, Below are the annual amounts of purse recapture
since 1995,when full card simulcasting was authorized.

Q9 11 n py Date: November 4, 2010
Subject: PC 2010-14 - Request for Special Use Permit for an Off-Track Betting
<ilk.E (OTB) facility within the B-2 General Business District.
Petitioner's Request:
Ultimate Sports Bar, Inc. on behalf of Post Time Catering, Inc. is requesting special use
approval within the B-2 General Business District for the purpose of operating an off-track
betting (OTB) facility to be located at 1447 Cannonball Trail in the Town Crossing
commercial/retail development. This request is concurrent with the petitioner's proposal to
amend the city's Zoning Ordinance to identify OTB facilities as an allowed special use within
the B-2 district.
Proposal Summary & Staff Comment:
Below is staff s commentary regarding the petitioner's proposal for the off-track betting
facility. A more detailed project narrative; information about the Hawthorne Race Course and its
off-track wagering venues; five-year revenue projections for the proposed Yorkville OTB; and a
schematic floor plan prepared by the petitioner is also included in the packet for your review.
Day-to-Day Operations:
If approved, this location will be the sixth and final OTB licensed under the Hawthorne Race
Course located at 3501 S. Laramie in Stickney, Illinois and serve as a wagering venue for live
horse races taking place in Illinois as well as other racetracks throughout North America. To
accommodate the off-track betting facility, the Ultimate Sports Bar will expand its current
leasable space into the adjoining un-occupied unit which will contain the television monitors
broadcasting the various races, wagering (tote) terminals and tellers. Since the live horse races
are televised via a secured satellite broadcast, the building will require the installation of one or
more roof-top satellite dishes. Anticipated daily business hours for the OTB will be from 11:00
a.m. until the last night harness race, typically between 11:00 p.m. and midnight. Wagering at the
off-track betting facility will be open to patrons 18 years or older, in accordance with State law.
Parking:
The petitioner also plans to hold special events at the OTB facility during significant horseracing
competitions such as the Breeder's Cup and Triple Crown Races. The available on-site parking
will be utilized for the daily operation of the sports bar and OTB. During these planned special
events, the petitioner proposes to enter into a written agreement with either Menards or the
Yorkville Market Place located across the street to provide additional off-site parking. Trolley
service will be provided between the OTB facility and the off-site parking for patrons attending
these events.
The available on-site parking for the Town Crossing commercial development consists of 97
spaces plus 4 handicapped accessible spaces for the current six (6) tenants. Staff believes the
existing on-site parking is adequate for the daily operation of the sports bar and proposed OTB
based upon their business hours and those of the other retail-service tenants.
SecuritylPuhlie Safety:
Although the sports bar and OTB will most likely operate as a single tenant, security doors will
be installed to separate the uses when the OTB is not open for business. The petitioner has
detailed other security measures to be implemented at the facility such as on-site cameras
(interior and exterior) with real-time computer feed to the race track and a FOB system which
provides OTB employees with a direct link to the local police department for immediate
emergency response.
Staff has contacted other communities where OTB facilities currently operate and have been
informed that the customer base is diverse coming from various socio-economic backgrounds.
The median age of OTB customers is about 45 years old and includes businessmen,
professionals, retirees and tradesmen.' With regard to public safety concerns at existing OTB
locations, in 2009 the Village of Buffalo Grove conducted a survey of law enforcement agencies
in reference to "calls for service" at off-track betting facilities between May 2007 and December
2008. The police agencies contacted included Aurora, Crestwood, Mokena, Niles and Oak Brook
Terrace. According to Buffalo Grove's findings, there "...were no high risk/low frequency police
incidents that create cause for public safety concern."2 The police responses to these OTB
facilities were deemed relatively low in volume and minor in nature.
Project Revenue:
Per State regulations, all wagers placed at the off-track betting facility are subject to a monthly
I% City Tax and I% County Tax. According to the petitioner, if approved, the Yorkville OTB
facility is projected to generate approximately $6.425 million in annual wagers resulting in
$64,250 tax revenue to the City of Yorkville and $64,250 to Kendall County in 2011. The
petitioner projects the OTB facility will incrementally increase its revenue by 5% each year
thereafter. By year 2015, the City of Yorkville is expected to receive nearly $110,000 in tax
revenue generated from the OTB facility.
Staff has reviewed the Illinois Racing Board 2009 Annual Report. In 2009, there were 529 race
programs conducted and wagering at off-track betting facilities generated a total of
approximately $7.9 million for city and county governments. This however represented a 14%
decrease from the prior year and the Illinois Racing Board awarded a total of only 493 racing
programs for calendar year 2010.
Compliance with Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975:
Staff has reviewed the proposal with regards to compliance with the zoning and citing
requirements for off-track betting facilities in the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 as amended
("Act"). Off-track betting facilities are required to be located within a commercial or
manufacturing zoning district or as a special use. If the proposed text amendment to the B-2
General Business District to allow OTB facilities as a special use is approved this location would
satisfy the Act's zoning requirement.
The Act also state that an OTB has to be more than 500 feet from an existing church or
school and if 50 registered voters live in residences within 500 feet, a majority of those voters
must approve of the use in writing. Although there are no churches in the immediate area, the
Town Crossing retail development is located less than 150 feet north of the Kiddie Campus
Source: Off-Track betting Brings New Revenue Source Benefits to Local Communities(Inter-Track Partners,LLC).
Memorandum dated February 5,2009 from Chief Steve S.Balinski to Deputy Village Manager Ghida Neukirch
The distance of 500 feet is measured to the nearest part of any building used for worship services,educational programs,and
residential purposes to the OTB facility,and not to property boundaries.(2301LCS 5126 from Ch. 8,par.37-26)
Daycare and within 500 feet of residential properties. According to the Act, the term "school"
refers only to elementary and secondary schools and childcare centers are excluded. Further, the
applicant has provided verification that there are less than 40 registered voters living in
residences located within 500 feet of the proposed OTB. Based upon this information, the
proposed Iocation for the OTB facility is compliant with the State's citing requirements.
Staff Recommendations:
Staff offers the following recommendations for the Plan Commission to consider when
reviewing the petitioner's request:
• Wagering at the off-track betting (OTB) facility shall be limited only to live horse
races and not include wagering on any other sporting activity, professional or
otherwise.
• The petitioner must obtain all required City permits and licenses associated with
the tenant build-out and operation of the OTB facility, including but not limited to
applicable building permits and liquor control licenses.
• The petitioner shall provide specific detail slinformation on preventative measures
to be taken to mitigate under-aged drinking within the betting parlor and bar area.
• The petitioner shall obtain a license from the Illinois Racing Board prior to
commencing any wagering activities at the property and must maintain good
standing with the Illinois Racing Board.
• The wagering component of the sports bar shall be limited to no more than 45%
of the gross leasable floor space.
• The petitioner shall allow the United City of Yorkville access to the camera
surveillance system for the off-track betting facility upon request when related to
crime prevention, investigations or other public safety matters pertaining to the
property.
• The petitioner must execute a shared parking agreement with a nearby property
owner with an existing parking lot area sufficient to accommodate the overflow
parking during special events at the facility. A copy of said executed agreement
shall be provided to and approved by the City prior to issuance of an occupancy
permit.
• The petitioner shall submit a parking plan for every event requiring off-site
parking. The plan shall include details regarding the use of trolley services or any
other patron valet services and proposed traffic flow on US 34 and Cannonball
Trail. Said plan shall be submitted to the City for approval no less than fifteen
(15) business days prior to the event date.
• Any violation of the conditions of the Special Use as determined by the United
City of Yorkville shall be remedied by the petitioner to the satisfaction of the City
or be subject to revocation of the special use granted herein.
Standards for Special Use:
Section 10-14-6F of the City's Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for special use
requests. No special use shall be recommended by the plan commission unless said commission
shall find that:
l. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be unreasonably
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare.
2. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish and
impair property values within the neighborhood.
3. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development
and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
4. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage or other necessary facilities have been or are
being provided.
5. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as
to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets.
6. The special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the
district in which it is located, except as such regulations may in each instance be modified
by the city council pursuant to the recommendations of the plan commission.

Hawthorne Race Course & it's Off Track Wagering Venues
Hawthorne Race Course, Inc. (HRC) owns and operates the horse
race track, known as Hawthorne Race Course, located at 3501 S.
Laramie, Stickney, Illinois. HRC is regulated by the Illinois Racing
Board and is governed by Illinois statutes in accordance with the
Illinois Racing Act of 1978 as amended.
HRC is a Thoroughbred track. It runs its races in the spring and fall
each year, opposite when Arlington Park runs in the summer.
HRC has the right to operate up to six Off Track Betting Parlors
(OTB's) within Illinois. You must have a controlling interest in a "Live"
racetrack to be eligible to hold an OTB license. HRC and its OTB's
broadcast signals from Illinois racetracks and from other racetracks
throughout North America at its licensed venues for patrons to place
wagers.
HRC has five of its six licenses deployed for OTB's in Chicago, Joliet,
Mokena, Buffalo Grove and Aurora. Currently, twenty five licenses
have been issued and activated to operate OTB's by all race tracks
within Illinois. Approximately $400,000,000 is wagered through Illinois
OTB's each year,
On average, 80% of all wagers placed are paid back to the public as
winning wagers. The remaining 20% is reserved for taxes and
commissions. The amounts paid back to the public and all amounts
reserved by the licensee are predetermined by Illinois Statute.
Wagers are placed using a national data base (Tote System)
whereby all wagers are simultaneously co-mingled to determine the
odds for each race. The Illinois Racing Board audits each race to
ensure the integrity of the system and all races.
Wagers placed at Illinois OTB's are subject to a 1% tax to the
municipality the OTB resides in, 1% to the county and 1.5% to the
state.
HRC has entered into various arrangements to operate a licensed
4TB's within existing businesses. HRC manages all aspects of the
wagering operations while its partner maintains the food and
beverage operations. This relationship requires the food and
beverage operator to become licensed with the Illinois Racing Board
as a Concessionaire
Each year, the Illinois Racing Board must re license both the OTB
operator and the Concessionaire.

Yorkville, IL 60560
RE: Narrative for Project Operation
Dear Ms. Barksdale-Noble:
The following Narrative is offered to supplant the filed applications with the United City
of Yorkville for the operation of Ultimate Sports Bar/OTB Facility:
1. Hours of Operation: The hours of operation would be from 11:00 a.m. daily
until the conclusion of the last night harness race which would be
approximately 11:00 to 12:00 p.m. at the latest on a daily basis.
2. Parkin : Parking would be provided on-site with an adequate number of stalls
for nearly all operations. Special Event operations have been operated by the
Applicant at other off-track betting facilities, for days such as the Breeder's
Cup and Triple Crow Races. In the past the Applicant has entered into written
parking agreements with large box users such as Menards in the past, and we
have an opportunity with Menards locally here and the Yorkville Market
Place immediately across the street to secure additional off-site parking for
special events.
During those special events periods the applicant has provided trolley service
back and forth to the main facility.
3. Security: The security system operated at other off-track betting facilities and
that will be implemented here provides for a large number of on-site cameras
with real time computer connectivity to intra-track partners at Hawthorne
Race Track, The inside security is heavily regulated by the State Board, as
well as by ourselves to ensure no physical, violence or defalcation problems
occur.
In addition to the OTB cameras,the operator of Ultimate Sport Bar has
numerous cameras located inside and in the parking Iots both on the main
parking lot east of the facility and on the supplemental parking lot on the west
side of the building which holds approximately 20 spaces. These are
monitored again on a real time basis,and will insure safety of our patrons,
protection against vandalism and the like. Neither the Ultimate Sports Bar
Operator which previously ran an off-track betting facility at the most recent
establishment in which he was a manager and the OTB Applicant have not
experienced any violence problems at their facilities, Further there is a direct
link to the Police Department and each of the employees of the off-track
betting facility and the managers of the Ultimate Sports Bar will have
possession of a FOB for immediate emergency response,
4. Signag : It is anticipated that the OTB and Ultimate Sports Bar will have
adequate signage ability on the building, and the 2 marquee signs that are on
the perimeter of the property for their advertising needs without any request
for variance. They will process the appropriate sign application with the
United City of Yorkville.
5. Approval by State Commission: Zoning approval needs to be granted for the
Special Use for the OTB facility prior to the final approval with the State of
Illinois regulatory bodies for issuance of the license at this location.
Applicant believes they will be successful in obtaining a license so long as
they receive City Approval based on their successful operations at other
locations. They believe this location geographically is desirable and will
service a local as well out-of-town clientele to the west, south, and north that
is not currently serviced by facilities to the east.
6, Physical Location: The Off-Track Betting Facility will be part of the facilities
of the Ultimate Sports Bar,but will be built out in the un-occupied southerly
unit of the property which/has remained vacant since the original developer of
the property built the sa e. It will have security doors that are closed and
1 ked and within the antrol of the OTB when its facilities are not in
a eratio
