Memorandum To: City Council/EDC Esr From: Travis Miller, Community Development Director CC: Lisa Pickering, Deputy Clerk(for distribution) p Date: September 18, 2009 E ;4�? Subject: PC 2009-11 Mideo Northgate Yorkville LLC (Preliminary Plan/Final Plat) C� Background This property was annexed in October 2002. The Annexation Agreement included 86 acres and the property was zoned B-3 and R-3. The Bristol Bay Annexation and PUD Agreement approved in 2005 included 57.87 acres of this property, leaving 28.13 acres. 26.04 acres of this property are zoned B-3 and 2.09 acres are zoned R-3. In addition to requesting the Preliminary Plan and Final Subdivision Plat, the petitioner is requesting to rezone the 2.09 acres to B-3 (PC 2009-15). Staff Comments and Recommendation The Plan Commission reviewed the requests at their September 9, 2009 meeting and recommended approval of both the Preliminary and Final Plat of Subdivision subject to addressing staff comments with a vote of 6 ayes; 0 no. The petitioner resubmitted the Preliminary Plan, Final Subdivision Plan and Plat September 16, 2009. Staff has reviewed the resubmitted plans and recommends approving the Preliminary Plan and Final Subdivision Plan and Plat subject to the following items being addressed: Require all of the EEl Review Comments attached dated September 18, 2009 be addressed with the following amendments: • Comment 5 —We should require all easements needed to construct regional improvements (utilities, trails, etc.) to be dedicated concurrent with the final plat. Easements should also be dedicated adjacent to existing/new public right-of-ways. A separate easement document is acceptable if the developer does not wish to dedicate show the easements on the plat. • Comment 7— Make STM B5 a catch basin rather than STM B6. This will allow easier access for maintenance. • Comment 8 —The design engineer should provide the information necessary to confirm that adequate stormwater flow capacity exists. • Comment 12 —The landscaping cost estimate should be reviewed by the Community Development Department. Quantities should be added to provide temporary landscape cover over Lots 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 after mass grading is performed. Quantities should be added for the offsite interceptor sewer along Galena Road, and for construction observation for the Route 47 improvements and for the Galena Road improvements. Quantities should be added for construction of Bertram Drive and a traffic signal at the Rt.47/Bertram intersection. Kendall County should review the EOPC for the Galena Road improvements. l Preliminary Plan: • Add a note stating that location of watermain valves and hydrants shall be determined during the final plan approval process. • Move the 16" watermain along the Route 47 frontage of Lot 4 to be located at the new Route 47 ROW line. • Add a note that the alignment of the future 16"watermain extending north to Bertram Drive may be revised to provide better fire protection for Lot 3. • Add a note stating that the developer shall construct that part of the Rob Roy Creek Interceptor along Galena Road. • Revise the storm sewer design to intercept water from the Route 47 access drive at a point close to Route 47. • Revise the storm sewer design by moving the storm sewer stub for Lot 4 to a point close to Route 47. • Revise the storm sewer design by moving the north discharge to the pond to the northwest corner of the pond. This will reduce the potential for short-circuiting of stormwater through the pond. • Revise the note about additional Bertram Drive ROW by deleting the phrase "purchasing as". • Revise the note about the future traffic signal at the Rt.47Bertram intersection by deleting the phrase"by others". • Add a streetlight at the first entrance on Galena east of Route 47. • Revise the grading and trail alignment at the NE corner of Rt.47/Galena to conform to the future IDOT right-of-way line as shown on the 2005 Route 47 corridor plan prepared by EEI. The right-of-way line as shown on this preliminary plan, however, should remain as shown. • Show sidewalk extending along the west side of the N-S access road, and also along the south side of the E-W access road. Also show a conceptual extension of sidewalk into the Bristol Bay development. Add a note stating that sidewalk shall also extend north along the access drive to Bertram. Final Plan: Sheet CO.I • Provide documentation that the development benchmark elevations match those used by Walter E. Deuchler Associates for their sanitary interceptor design. Sheet C 1.1 • Trail crossings of the four access drives (2 on Rt.47, 2 on Galena) should adhere to MUTCD standards which call for pedestrian crossings to be located beyond, not ahead, of the stop signs. Sheet C1.2 • The curve in the temporary E-W access drive to Galena Road appears to have a centerline radius of less than 60 feet. "Curve Ahead" signage along with an advisory speed limit should be erected for both approaches. 2 Sheet C2.1 • There appears to be an undrained low spot at near the NW corner of the pond. Revise as necessary to eliminate low spot. Sheet C3.1 • The storm sewer draining the E-W access drive to Rt.47 needs to be re-designed to intercept flow from that access drive at a point near Rt.47. This same storm, sewer must also drain future Bertram Drive, and intercept Bertram Drive's stormwater at a point near Route 47. • Revise the sanitary design to eliminate all manholes within future pavement at the Rt.47/Galena intersection. This will likely require the relocation of MWS 106 and 107. • Add a note stating that the developers of Lots 1 and 2 will extend the 16"watermain to align with their north property lines, even though the watermain may be located on another lot. Sheet C4.1 Landsca a Plan • The plant material must have no more than 33% of one genus. The proposed plan includes 23 Colorado Spruce which constitute over 58% of the trees on the plan. Revise the plan accordingly. • The eastern and southern boundary of proposed Lot 5 are adjacent to a residential district and require a planted buffer consisting of 2 shade trees, 5 evergreen trees and 2 ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet. The lineal distance required to buffer is approximately 700 feet, therefore, 14 shade trees, 35 evergreen and 14 ornamental trees are required. The proposed plan is deficient 17 shade tree equivalents as defined by the Landscape Ordinance. Revise the plan accordingly. • Change all words with `Village' to `City'. • All trees are required to be from Northern Illinois. Add a note to the plan requiring this standard. Sheet C5.1 (Photometrics) • Roadway lighting within the development shall be private, therefore light poles and luminaires do not need to be approved by the city. The photometrics, however, do need to be approved by the city. • A street light shall be required at a maximum spacing of 300 feet. Revise and adjust the plan accordingly. • Street lights shall be located on the opposite side of the street from the water main. Revise the plan accordingly. Sheet C6.2 • Delete the note stating that this sheet is preliminary engineering and not for construction. Sheet C7.1 • Revise the note regarding watermain valves to state that the Series 2500 valve shall be used for valves 16" and larger, rather than for valves greater that 16". 3 Sheet C7.2 • For the 136.12 Curb & Gutter Detail, revise Note 5 to require two continuous No.4 rebars except at expansion joints. Sheet C7.4 • Revise the valve vault detail to require"City of Yorkville—Water" to be cast into the lid. Sheet C7.5 • Revise the manhole details to require "City of Yorkville— Sanitary"to be cast into the lid. Final Plat: • In the legal description, Line 9 has a bearing of S 1'5946"W while the plat shows a bearing of S 1'59'46"E. Which is correct? • Revise the third note to add Bertram Drive as a point of full-access to/from Route 47. Also revise the note to clarify that the access drive between Lots 2 and 3 is temporary full-access until the Bertram Drive connection is constructed, at which time it will become a right-in/right-out only access. • As stated above for EEI Comment 5, easements must be dedicated via the plat of subdivision or concurrently via a separate plat of easement. 4 62 wheeler Road • Sugar Qreve, IL 60564 TEL. 630 / 466-6700 44 PAX, 630 / 466-6701 www.eetweh.com En91na4Nr lrM Erri�rpr*9eir In=- September 18, 2009 Mr. Joseph A. Wywrot, P.E. City Engineer United City of Yorkville 800 Game Farm Road Yorkville, IL 60560 Re: Midco Northgate LLC & JR Yorkville, LLC Preliminary Plan, Phase t Final.Engineering Plan and Final Plat Review United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois Dear Mr. Wywrot: We have reviewed the following submitted material for the referenced Preliminary Plan submittal: • Phase 1 Final Engineering Northgate - NEC Galena Rd. & IL Route 47" prepared by Craig Knoche & Associates Civil Engineers, Inc. consisting of seventeen (17) sheets with latest revision date of September 14, 2009. • Final Plat of Subdivision prepared by Craig Knoche & Associates Civil Engineers, P.C. of two (2) sheets dated August 14, 2009 include in the plan set. • Two response letters form Craig R. Knoche & Associates Civil Engineers, P.C. to Joe Wywrot dated September 11, 2009. • Preliminary Engineer's Estimate of Probable Cost prepared by Craig Knoche & Associates Civil Engineers, Inc., dated August 14, 2009 and revised on September 14, 2009. Our review of these plans is to generally determine the plan's compliance with City of Yorkville ordinances and whether the improvements will conform to existing City systems and equipment. This review and our comments do not relieve the designer from his duties to conform to all required codes, regulations, and acceptable standards of engineering practice. Engineering Enterprises, Consulting Engineers Specializing In civil Engineering and Land Surveying Mr.Joseph A.Wywrot, PE September 18,2009 Page 2 of 4 Inc.'s review is not intended as an in-depth quality assurance review. We cannot and do not assume responsibility for design errors or omissions in the plans. We offer the following comments: SHEET CIA 1. The label for Lot 7 (to be conveyed to IDOT) should be shown in that lot or should point to the lot. 2. The pathway stub out to the Galena Road edge of pavement should be reworked in concert with the utility plan. Two flared end sections, one existing and one proposed, conflict with the pathway design. The pathway should also be designed and have easements provided to conform with the geometric and access plan prepared by Engineering Enterprises, Inc., which was transmitted to the design engineer with the initial review. This is with understanding that the developer is not bound by the referred to geometrics at this time. This is in an effort to avoid unnecessary rework at a later date. SHEET C1.2 3. Detectable warning strips should be added to the sidewalk that crosses the north-south drive at the north end of Lot 2. SHEET C2.1 4. A curtain wall should be provided at the detention basin overflow location and should be in conformance with the City's Standard Specifications for Improvements (page S-10). The curb section requested by the design engineer in lieu of curtain wall does not meet these standards. SHEET CM 5. Easements will be required for all utilities and should be shown on the plans in accordance with the Subdivision Control Ordinance. The design engineer has requested that the City allow the developer to prepare and execute easement documents after the utilities are installed. If the City is comfortable with this allowance, we recommend that execution of the easement documents and incorporation of these easements into the engineering record drawings be completed prior to project closeout and/or prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. (i.P�rhh Yu;k Ifr.'arl ti rNrr-h Mi:ca NMIIkuIr I.ld'00c iwk,'kmCWl1nail•lan&plat due Mr.Joseph A.Wywrot, PE September 18,2009 Page 3 of 4 SHEET C5.1 6. Sheet C5.1 was not included in the review set of plans. It is our understanding that photometric and lighting plans will be reviewed by City staff unless directed otherwise. SHEET C6.1 7. Catch basins should be provided at STM A2, STM A4, STM B2, STM B4 and STM B6. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT& FLOODPLAIN REVIEW 8. The ordinance requires the overflow route to provide sufficient capacity to pass the 100-year event through the site under the premise that all storm sewers are blocked and full when it begins. In lieu of explicitly modeling this scenario, Kendall County specifies that the overflow have capacity for the peak inflow to the stormwater facility (t 42 cfs for this phase of development). The overflow channel section calculations show capacity for 42 cfs at a depth of t 2.8 ft (t 655.8). The lowest proposed T/F elevation shown on the plans is 655.0. The ordinance requires all buildings to have a lowest water entry a minimum of 18 inches above the high water elevation in the bypass situation. The channel section provided is not reflective of the grading shown on the plans. As indicated by Mr. Kuhlmann, P.E. in his September 11, 2009 letter, any overflow from the basin does appear to have the ability to flow in multiple directions. There may well be sufficient capacity to keep the HWL 18" below the proposed T/F's, however there is insufficient information provided to make this determination. FINAL PLAT REVIEW 9. The last paragraph of the Surveyor's certificate should be edited to read "..,within the corporate limits of the United City of Yorkville..." 10.It is our recommendation that the Bertram Road dedication read "Hereby Dedicated to the United City of Yorkville for Roadway and Utility Purposes". We similarly recommend that the dedication of Galena Road to the county "for Roadway and Utility Purposes". This language is recommended by title companies when there is the any potential for improvements beyond roadway improvements (e.g., water main construction) being needed. 11.The Dedication of Lot 7 to the State of Illinois via Plat of Highways and warranty deed should be completed and recorded on the Final Plat prior to the City's sign off and recording. k;-PuNtL,%+vk%.Ile:f"A f x.4-11,Nlidc+t NnzY�a7r 1.f f'Ikk7w;tlnr al+final;+I,i+Yplal dux Mr.Joseph A.Wywrot, PE September 18,2009 Page 4 of 4 ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE OF PROBABLE COST 12.The quantities provided in the Preliminary Engineer's Estimate of Probable Cost for Phase 1 are reasonable and the unit prices are appropriate for the current bidding climate, We recommend that the City require that a letter of credit or other acceptable security in the amount of the 110% of the on-site and off-site improvements be issued to the City in accordance with the City standards. Additionally, mechanisms or agreements should be put into place to provide for the developer's participation in the Galena Road and Route 47 Improvements as required by the City's Subdivision Control Ordinance and as deemed appropriate by the City.

The Annexation Agreement included 86 acres and the property was zoned B-3 and R-3. The Bristol Bay Annexation and PUD Agreement approved in 2005 included 57.87 acres of this property, leaving 28.13 acres. 26.04 acres of this property are zoned B-3 and 2.09 acres are zoned R-3. Simultaneously to this request, the property owner is requesting Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plan/Plat approval. This rezoning of the 2.09 acre area to B-3 will allow for the entire 28.13 acre property to allow commercial use. Staff Comments Plan Council reviewed the rezoning request August 20, 2009 and recommend this is simply a housekeeping item and recommend approval. The Plan Commission reviewed this request September 9, 2009 and following consideration of the criteria listed below from Title 1044-7.13.5.a-e as well as the `LaSalle factors, recommended approving the rezoning with a vote 6 yes; 0 no. 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 1 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. 2 43 co, United City of Yorkville T 800 Game Farm Road esr ` Yorkville, Illinois 60560 Telephone: 630-553-4350 Fax: 630-553-3436 PC# APPLICATION&PETITION ANNEXATION, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT,ZONING OR SPECIAL USE REQUEST Development Name: Northgete Date of Submission: August 11,2009 Requesting: a Annexation Zoning 0 Planned Unit Development 0 Special Use; 1, Name of Petitioner(s), JR Yorkville,LLC Address: 2303 Butterfield Road,Suite 310,Oakbrook,Ulinois 60523 S Phone Number: 630-366-2304 Fax Number. 630-954-7701 EmaU Address: Relationship of Petitioners)to subject property: [JOwner 0 Developer p Contract Purchaser 2.

This property was developed in 2004 and the site plan called for the sidewalk along Route 47 to be constructed in an easement adjacent to the right-of-way. The sidewalk was constructed in the correct location, but the easement was not dedicated at that time. IDOT has recently increased their effort in pursuing easements for their Route 47 widening project. They called us to see if a sidewalk easement existed in this area, and that's when we checked our files and found that the easement had not been dedicated. IDOT asked us to modify the originally proposed easement dimensions by adding a small area just south of Landmark, thereby eliminating the need for them to obtain an easement for that area. The attached easement includes that small additional area. I recommend that this easement document be approved and recorded. Please place this item on the September 15, 2009 Public Works Committee agenda for consideration.

As per article 550.04, when rock or in this case concrete is found near the excavation, it shall be removed to a minimum of 8" below the bottom of the pipe. The concrete was broken and hauled away and replaced with additional aggregate to get to the proper bedding grade. The pipe also was required to be lowered to ensure proper clearance between the phone and gas lines near the south end of the culvert and water and sewer force main on the north end of the culvert, since the existing pipe was corrugated metal and the proposed pipe is reinforced concrete and has thicker walls. This additional work will be paid on a force account basis, according to Article 109.04. The requested amount is from the final bill which has been checked and verified.

Memorandum EST. + 1�� Ms To: Yorkville Park Board From: Stephanie Boettcher, Senior Planne 9rep CC. Laura Haake, City Park Designer , Date: July 15, 2009 E V Subject: Water Conservation Enhancements to Park Development Standards One of the Yorkville Green Committee's main efforts has and continues to be promoting and improving water conservation in the City. A water conservation seminar was held in April of 2005, and most recently water conservation was one of the educational topics at the Environmental Fair in March 2009. Upon the heels of the Water Conservation Seminar, a water conservation plan was drafted by the committee in April 2008 and brought before the Public Works Committee on July 15, 2008. This plan had two components: education and implementation efforts. Following the July 2008 Public Works meeting, staff prepared an infonnational memo outlining the efforts already being done and providing feedback on the suggested implementation efforts. Upon hearing these comments. the committee still felt that changes were necessary to City ordinances and planned to continue their education efforts on the topic (as witnessed by the Environmental Fair). Former Alderman Bob Allen and staff`', advised the committee to provide specific text amendments to City Ordinances as opposed to a general outline on how to conserve water in order to best achieve their goal. The text amendment to the Park Development Standards originally called for the removal of Paragraph F-2 in Section 4. Park and Recreation staff reviewed the request and recommended a reduction in the sodded area from 100 feet (which is the entire entrance width) to 50 feet maximum of sodding if the park entrance is less than 100 feet in width. The reduction of sodding in width instead of removal of the entire paragraph is due to the high traffic by bike and foot at these park entrances. Not using sod can also result in other fonns of water use, for example, the foot traffic can cause mud to be tracked all over the concrete, resulting in the need to powerwash the concrete to remove it. Also, if seed is used at the wrong time of the year and it doesn't establish, rain can erode the seed and soil, causing pollution and sedimentation. Sodding helps to prevent these issues. The text amendment has been amended to show a 50 ft. maximum of sod use at any park entrance 100 feet in width or less,which was agreed to by the Yorkville Green Committee at their meeting in June.

O. CMAP: Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, formerly titled the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC). -5 - SECTION 2: OPEN SPACE SYSTEM AND GUIDELINES The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) states that: "Open space provides more than recreational opportunities; it is land that society needs to conserve as natural, cultural, historic, and agricultural resources. One of the most common misconceptions regarding open space and recreation is that the two terns are synonymous. A strong relationship does exist between open space and outdoor recreation but, in most cases. recreation is something separate and distinct from open space." Therefore, a park is open space, but open space is not necessarily a park. A. CATEGORIES OF OPEN SPACE The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) has developed six (b) categories of open space that the United City of Yorkville has simplified into three recognized categories of land capacity: environmental, shaping, and recreational. The United City of Yorkville has determined that acquisition and development of land meeting the recreational and environmental requirements of its residents is its role in the fabric of the community. These functions are subdivided into both local and regional classifications. The Parks Department's responsibilities pertain to the local classifications. 1. ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY - protects natural and or cultural resources from development. a. Natural Resource Park (Linear GreenwaylTrail System) - is utilized as a buffer zone, watershed, or conservation area, and affords a passive appearance with managed natural habitats and plant ecosystems. These areas can be used to protect fragile or rare ecosystems. Often these areas require management to maintain sustainability and preserve healthy biodiversity of plant life. When utilized as a linear greenbelt and/or trail corridor, natural areas can serve as environmental bridges, supporting the movement of wildlife between other larger areas. When combined with public use areas. development can include open play areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths. park benches, picnic and rest areas, and water oriented facilities. Detention or retention ponds can be included in these areas. In instances where this classification of park is flood prone. construction of permanent structures is discouraged. The public use infrastructure should remain supplementary to the functional classification of lands described. b. Conservation of local resources. such as streams, wetland habitats, and forests. c. Preservation of environmental and/or historic resources in conjunction with local historic preservation agencies. -G- 2. SHAPING CAPACITY - provides relief from extensive urbanization and promotes the integration of neighborhoods. City, county, state, and federal planning agencies commonly define this land as "land that shapes a community and is reflected in greenbelts, county forest preserves, state, and national parks." This category is also reflected in local ordinances stipulating density formulas and open space requirements for subdivisions. 3. RECREATIONAL CAPACITY - provides space for single or multiple, active and passive recreation activities. a. Mini-parks—The mini-park is used to serve isolated or limited recreational needs. Mini-parks are often tot lots, created to serve a resident population too distant from a community park, or in an area with high density populations. The mini-park is larger than one (1) acre in size. Development is usually limited, requiring no parking or extensive site work. K Neighborhood Parks—The neighborhood park is intended as a supplement to or substitute for a play lot where population density, geographic barriers or distance preclude easy access. Examples of such facilities include: play apparatus areas for pre-school and elementary children; hard surface areas for hopscotch, shuffleboard, tetherball. four-square; court games for basketball. volleyball. badminton, tennis, etc.; and open play areas for softball. football, soccer, and winter sports. The minimum park size for a neighborhood park is five (5) acres. The concept of development emphasizes spontaneous rather than higher organized play. The playground should be easily accessible to pedestrian use. Neighborhood parks can have additional special use classifications to include activities such as active play and specialized courts. These parks may be combined with school sites. Although any classification of park can be located next to a school,the age of users makes it preferable that neighborhood parks and elementary schools share a common boundary. c. Community Parks - The community park is larger than ten (10) acres, and development is intended for people of all ages. It is preferred that the park be centrally located and serve at least four neighborhoods. Amenities found in a neighborhood park shall be included, supplemented by large multipurpose open spaces. Internal walk patterns for pedestrians and bicycle paths are desired to connect the various functions. It should be accessible by motorized and non-motorized traffic. Adequate off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with amenities constructed. The classification may also serve as a neighborhood park facility for the area in which it is located. 1. Athletic Parks—Multiple athletic fields in one location, representing the functional needs of each agency, which can be located in close proximity to schools where the public and students can share facility use. The -7- location and design shall satisfy one or more of the following requirements: (1) avoid duplication of land and facilities unless existing facilities are over utilized: (2) coordination of services, and (3) diminish capital expenditures and satisfy the needs of each agency. Development should be similar to the neighborhood park. 2. Sports Complex - Developed to meet the needs of specific users groups and local athletic associations for practice, team, and tournament play. These sites have adequate parking and are located on good traffic routes. They may also be located to take advantage of bicycle and pedestrian trail systems. Fields should be as multipurpose as possible, so a wide variety of flexibility can be maintained. It is best to allow for additional space when acquiring sports complex space, as needs and trends are subject to constant change. 3. Special Use Parks - Intended for single interest activities and large enough to accommodate the demand. Examples include: tennis center, outdoor education center, museum, conservatory, golf course. children's farm, sports complex, skate park, splash f spray park, swimming pool / aquatic center, etc. Since users are going to come from a distance, the site should be near major vehicular access routes and regional bike trails. d. Regional Parks—The regional park attracts people from outside the community. Regional parks shall be a large piece of property. greater than forty (40) acres in size with more than one major attraction or function. The regional park can encompass any neighborhood and community classifications. B. LAND/CASH DEDICATION ORDINANCES 1. The United City of Yorkville band Cash Ordinance requires ten (10) acres per 1,000 population be donated for parks as part of the subdivision or planned unit development approval process. The contribution of land cash is in accordance with the City Land Cash Ordinance. It is for these stipulated acres that the following standards have been developed. These standards will also act as guidelines for land donated to satisfy other functions of open space. The ultimate population density to be generated by a subdivision or planned unit development shall bear directly on the amount of land required to be dedicated for park and recreation sites. The acreage of land dedication requirement shall be determined by obtaining the total population of the development times ten (10) acres per 1,000 population. Total population is determined by applying the estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit table to the number of respective units in the development. Each single family home will be calculated to have four bedrooms; Duplex unit will be calculated as 50%two bedroom units and 50% - 8 - three bedroom units; Town home and apartments will be calculated with two bedrooms. 2. 1 f the city determines that available land is inappropriate for park, or recreational use, the City shall require a cash contribution. This is based on the land cash calculation and the value per acre of the land based oil the "Fair market value". The amount of land cash distribution shall be determined by Staff and Board analysis of the site and relationship to neighboring parks. 3. In cases approved by the Park and Recreation Board, the contribution of land cash can be a mixture of 50% land 50% cash, or other agreed upon contribution combination. 4. A developer may donate the land together with cash for park development upfront to have the construction of the park expedited. Front funding for park development is preferred. Otherwise, a 75% build-out standard for the subdivision shall be set in place for park development. 5. No land cash credit shall be given for the following: a. Exclusively private facilities & parks. b. Retention or detention areas. measured at the top of the bank. c. Lands located within the 100 year floodplain. 6. Full or partial credit will be given for the following: a.

A four(4") inch wide painted yellow centerline stripe shall be used to separate opposite directions of travel on primary trails, as determined by Staff. E. Sight and Stopping Distance I, Sight and stopping distance is the distance required to see an obstruction, react to it, and brake to stop. The formulas and charts in the Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities shall be used for each special location to insure minimum safe sight and stopping distances. For example: A five (5%) percent grade would require approximately 260 feet of stopping distance. Reference BLRS or BDE manuals for stopping and sight distance charts. F. Widths and Clearances 1. The paved width and the operating width required for a shared use path are primary design considerations. The current width for all primary trails shall be ten (10') feet, not including the width needed for shoulders. For high traffic volumes, determined by figure 42-3A of the BLRS manual, a twelve foot (12') trail width may be required. Reduced widths of eight (8') feet will be considered on a case-by-case basis, based on use, site constraints. or topographic features. a. There will be good horizontal and vertical alignment providing safe and frequent passing opportunities, b. During normal maintenance activities the path will not be subjected to maintenance vehicle loading conditions that would cause pavement damage. c. Vertical clearance shall be a minimum of eight (8') feet above (lie trail. d. if the trail is to be located parallel to a roadway, the BLRS manual recommends a minimum separation of five feet (5') from the face of curb of the roadway to the edge of shoulder of the trail. If the distance is less than five feet (5'), the BLRS manual recommends a three and a half foot (3.5') high barrier be installed between the path and the road. In a rural session, the BLRS manual recommends that the path be located at the top of the back slope of the roadway ditch but a minum of ten feet (10') from the edge of the traffic lane. e. Railings shall be considered on a case-by-case basis. Steep slopes or a fixed hazard that cannot be removed or relocated could dictate railing locations. G. Trail and Roadway Bridges 1. Bridges shall be installed to connect trails across valleys, streams, creeks, ravines, etc. All bridge design plans are to be sealed and prepared under the direction of an Illinois licensed structural engineer. -37- a. New bridges shall be constructed with a minimum trail width of ten (I W) feet. On existing bridges, an eight (81) foot width is acceptable. b.

O. CNJAP:Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, formerly titled the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission(NIPC). -5- SECTION Z:OPEN SPACE SYSTEM AND GUIDELINES The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for planning(CMAP)states that: "Open space provides more than recreational opportunities; it is land that society needs to conserve as natural, cultural,historic,and agricultural resources.One of the most common misconceptions regarding open space and recreation is that the two terms are synonymous.A strong relationship does exist between open space and outdoor recreation but,in most cases, recreation is something separate and distinct from open space." 'therefore,a park is open space,but open space is not necessarily a park. A. CATEGORIES OF OPEN SPACE The National Recreation and park Association(NRPA)has developed six(6)categories of open space that the United City of Yorkville has simplified into three recognized categories of land capacity:environmental,shaping,and recreational.The United City of Yorkville has determined that acquisition and development of land meeting the recreational and environmental requirements of its residents is its role in the fabric of the community,These functions are subdivided into both local and regional classifications. The Parks Department's responsibilities pertain to the local classifications. 1. ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY-protects natural and or cultural resources from development_ a. Natural Resource Park(Linear GreenwaylTrail System)-is utilized as a buffer zone,watershed,or conservation area,and affords a passive appearance with managed natural habitats and plant ecosystems. These areas can be used to protect fragile or rare ecosystems.Often these areas require management to maintain sustainability and preserve healthy biodiversity of plant life. When utilized as a linear greenbelt and/or trail corridor.natural areas can serve as environmental bridges,supporting the movement of wildlife between other larger areas. When combined with public use areas,development can include open play areas,pedestrian and bicycle paths, park benches,picnic and rest areas,and water oriented facilities. Detention or retention ponds can be included in these areas. In instances where this classification of park is flood prone,construction of permanent structures is discouraged.The public use infrastructure should remain supplementary to the functional classification of lands described, b. Conservation of local resources,such as streams,wetland habitats, and forests. c. Preservation of environmental and/or historic resources in conjunction with local historic preservation agencies. -6- ?. SHAPING CAPACITY-provides relief from extensive urbanization and promotes the integration of neighborhoods.City,county,state,and federal planning agencies commonly define this land as"land that shapes a community and is reflected in greenbelts,county forest preserves,state,and national parks." This category is also reflected in local ordinances stipulating density formulas and open space requirements for subdivisions. 3. RECREATIONAL CAPAC1Tl' -provides space for single or multiple,active and passive recreation activities. a. Mini-Parks-The mini-park is used to serve isolated or limited recreational needs. Mini-parks are often lot lots,created to serve a resident population too distant from a community park,or in an area with high density populations. The mini-park is larger than one(1)acre in sire. Development is usually limited,requiring no parking or extensive site work. b. Neighborhood Parks-The neighborhood park is intended as a supplement to or substitute for a play lot where population density,geographic barriers or distance preclude easy access. Examples of such facilities include:play apparatus areas for pre-school and elementary children; hard surface areas for hopscotch,shuffleboard,tetherball,four-square,court games for basketball, volleyball, badminton,tennis,etc.; and open play areas for softball, football, soccer,and winter sports.The minimum park size for a neighborhood park is five(5)acres.The concept of development emphasizes spontaneous rather than higher organized play.The playground should be easily accessible to pedestrian use. Neighborhood parks can have additional special use classifications to include activities such as active play and specialized courts.These parks may be combined with school sites. Although any classification ol'park can be located next to a school,the age of users makes it preferable that neighborhood parks and elementary schools share a common boundary. c. Community Parks-The community park is larger than ten(10)acres,and development is intended for people of all ages. It is preferred that the park be centrally located and serve at least four neighborhoods. Amenities found in a neighborhood park shall be included,supplemented by large multipurpose open spaces. Internal walk patterns for pedestrians and bicycle paths are desired to connect the various functions. It should be accessible by motorized and non-motorized traffic. Adequate off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with amenities constructed. The classification may also serve as a neighborhood park facility for the area in which it is located. 1. Athletic Parks-Multiple athletic fields in one location,representing the functional needs of each agency,which can be located in close proximity to schools where the public and students can share facility use.The -7- location and design shall satisfy one or more of the following requirements: (1)avoid duplication of land and facilities unless existing facilities are over utilized: (2)coordination of services,and(3)diminish capital expenditures and satisfy the needs of each agency. Development should be similar to the neighborhood park. 2. Sports Complex- Developed to meet the needs ofspecific users groups and local athletic associations for practice,team,and tournament play. These sites have adequate parking and are located on good traffic routes. They may also be located to take advantage of bicycle and pedestrian trail systems. Fields should be as multipurpose as possible,so a wide variety of flexibility can be maintained. It is best to allow for additional space when acquiring sports complex space,as needs and trends are subject to constant change. 3. Special Use Parks-Intended for single interest activities and large enough to accommodate the demand. Examples include:tennis center, outdoor education center,museum,conservatory,golf course,children's farm,sports complex,skate park,splash/spray park,swimming pool 1 aquatic center,etc.Since users are going to come from a distance, the site should be near major vehicular access routes and regional bike trails. d. Regional Parks—The regional park attracts people from outside the community. Regional parks shall be a large piece of property,greater than fort} (40)acres in size with more than one major attraction or function.The regional park can encompass any neighborhood and community classifications. B. LAND I CASH DEDICATION ORDINANCES I. The United City of Yorkville Land Cash Ordinance requires ten(10)acres per 1.000 population be donated for parks as part of the subdivision or planned unit development approval process.The contribution of land cash is in accordance with the City Land Cash Ordinance. It is for these stipulated acres that the following standards have been developed.These standards will also act as guidelines for land donated to satisfy other functions of open space. The ultimate population density to be generated by a subdivision or planned unit development shall bear directly on the amount of land required to be dedicated for park and recreation sites.The acreage of land dedication requirement shall be determined by obtaining the total population of the development times ten(10) acres per 1,000 population. Total population is determined by applying the estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit table to the number of respective units in the development, Each single family home will be calculated to have four bedrooms; Duplex unit will be calculated as 50%two bedroom units and 50% -8- three bedroom units; Town home and apartments will be calculated with two bedrooms. ?. Jf the city determines that available land is inappropriate for park,or recreational Deleted:„hen use,the City shall require a cash contribution. This is based on the land cash calculation and the value per acre of the land based on the"Fair market value". ` The amount of land cash distribution Shall be determined by Staff and Board analysis of the site and relationship to neighboring parks. 3. In cases approved by the Park and Recreation Board,the contribution of land cash can be a mixture of 50%land 50%cash,or other agreed upon contribution combination. 4. A developer may donate the land together with cash for park development upfront to have the construction of the park expedited_ Front funding for park development is preferred.Otherwise,a 75%build-out standard for the subdivision shall be set in place for park development. 5. No land cash credit shall be given for the following; a. Exclusively private facilities R parks. b. Retention or detention areas,measured at the top of the bank. c. Lands located within the 100 year tloodplain 6. Full or partial credit will be given for the following: a. Active wet areas(lakes,rivers,creeks),historical areas,conservation areas, etc., that are identified to have recreational or conservation value. This will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Studies shall be required to verify historical and/or conservation areas. b. Paths or trails constructed and dedicated in an exclusive easement to the City, or paths identified as infrastructure or connecting trails to a regional trail system. Partial credit may be given for undeveloped exclusive easements dedicated to the Cite ]or future trail development.

O. CI.9AP:Chicago .'Metropolitan Agency for Planning,formerly titled the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission(NIPC). -5- SECTION 2: OPEN SPACE SYSTEM AND GUIDELINES The Chicago 'Metropolitan Agency For Planning(CNIAP)states that:"Open space provides more than recreational opportunities; it is land that society needs to conserve as natural, cultural,historic,and agricultural resources.One of the most common misconceptions regarding open space and recreation is that the two terms are synonymous.A strong relationship does exist between open space and outdoor recreation but, in most cases. recreation is something separate and distinct From open space." Wherefore,a park is open space,but open space is not necessarily a park, A. CATEGORIES OF OPEN SPACE The National Recreation and Park Association(NRPA)has developed six(6)categories of open space that the United City of Yorkville has simplified into three recognized categories of land capacity: environmental,shaping,and recreational_ The United City of Yorkville has determined that acquisition and development of land meeting the recreational and environmental requirements of its residents is its role in the fabric of the community.These functions are subdivided into both local and regional classifications.The Parks Department's responsibilities pertain to the local classifications. 1. ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY-protects natural and or cultural resources from development. a. Natural Resource Park (Linear GreenwaylTrail System)- is utilized as a buffer zone,watershed,or conservation area,and affords a passive appearance with managed natural habitats and plant ecosystems. These areas can be used to protect fragile or rare ecosystems. Often these areas require management to maintain sustainability and preserve healthy biodiversity of plant life. When utilized as a linear greenbelt and/or trail corridor, natural areas can serve as environmental bridges,supporting the movement of wildlife between other larger areas.When combined with public use areas,development can include open play areas,pedestrian and bicycle paths,park benches, picnic and rest areas,and water oriented facilities. Detention or retention ponds can be included in these areas. In instances where this classification of park is flood prone,construction of permanent structures is discouraged. The public use infrastructure should remain supplementary to the functional classification of lands described. b. Conservation of local resources,such as streams.wetland habitats,and forests. c. Preservation of environmental and/or historic resources in conjunction with local historic preservation agencies. -6- SHAPING CAPACITY-provides relief from extensive urbanization and promotes the integration of neighborhoods.City,county,state,and federal planning agencies commonly define this land as"land that shapes a community and is reflected in greenbelts,county forest preserves,state,and national parks." This category is also reflected in local ordinances stipulating density formulas and open space requirements for subdivisions. 3. RECREATIONAL CAPACITY - provides space for single or multiple,active and passive recreation activities. a. Mini-Parks—The mini-park is used to serve isolated or limited recreational needs. Mini-parks are often tot lots,created to serve a resident population too distant from a community park,or in an area with high density populations. The mini-park is larger than one(1)acre in size. Development is usually limited, requiring no parking or extensive site work. b. Neighborhood Parks—The neighborhood park is intended as a supplement to or substitute for a play lot where population density,geographic barriers or distance preclude easy access. Examples of such facilities include:play apparatus areas for pre-school and elementary children,hard surface areas for hopscotch,shuffleboard,tetherball,four-square;court games for basketball. volleyball, badminton,tennis,etc.; and open play areas for softball,football, soccer,and winter sports.The minimum park size for a neighborhood park is five(5)acres. The concept of development emphasizes spontaneous rather than higher organized play."The playground should be easily accessible to pedestrian use. Neighborhood parks can have additional special use classifications to include activities such as active play and specialized courts.These parks may be combined with school sites. Although any classification of park can be located next to a school,the age of users makes it preferable that neighborhood parks and elementary schools share a common boundary. c. Community Parks-The community park is larger than ten(10)acres,and development is intended for people of all ages. It is preferred that the park be centrally located and serve at least four neighborhoods. Amenities found in a neighborhood park shall be included,supplemented by large multipurpose open spaces. Internal walk patterns for pedestrians and bicycle paths are desired to connect the various functions. It should be accessible by motorized and non-motorized traffic. Adequate off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with amenities constructed. The classification may also serve as a neighborhood park facility for the area in which it is located. 1. Athletic Parks— Multiple athletic fields in one location,representing the functional needs of each agency,which can be located in close proximity to schools where the public and students can share facility use.The .7- location and design shall satisfy one or more of the following requirements.(1)avoid duplication of land and facilities unless existing facilities are over utilized:(2)coordination of services,and(3) diminish capital expenditures and satisfy the needs of each agency. Development should be similar to the neighborhood park. 2. Sports Complex - Developed to meet the needs of specific users groups and iocal athletic associations for practice,team,and tournament play_ These sites have adequate parking and are located on good traffic routes. They may also be located to take advantage of bicycle and pedestrian trail systems. Fields should be as multipurpose as possible,so a wide variety of flexibility can be maintained. It is best to allow for additional space when acquiring sports complex space,as needs and trends are subject to constant change, 3. Special Use Parks- Intended For single interest activities and large enough to acconi nodate the demand.Examples include:tennis center, outdoor education center,museum,conservatory,golf course,children's farm,sports complex,skate park,splash/spray park,swimming pool/ aquatic center,etc. Since users are going to come from a distance.the site should be near major vehicular access routes and regional bike trails. d. Regional Parks—The regional park attracts people From outside the community. Regional parks shall be a large piece of property,greater than forty (40)acres in size with more than one major attraction or function.The regional park can encompass any neighborhood and community classifications. B. LAND 1 CASH DEDICATION ORDINANCES 1. The United City of Yorkville Land Cash Ordinance requires ten(10)acres per 1,000 population be donated for parks as part of the subdivision or planned unit development approval process. The contribution of land cash is in accordance with the City Land Cash Ordinance. It is for these stipulated acres that the following standards have been developed.These standards will also act as guidelines for land donated to satisfy other functions of open space. The ultimate population density to be generated by a subdivision or planned unit development shall bear directly on the amount of land required to be dedicated for park and recreation sites.The acreage ofland dedication requirement shall be determined by obtaining the total population of the development times ten(10) acres per 1.000 population. Total population is determined by applying the estimated ultimate population per dwelling unit table to the number of respective units in the development. Each single family home will be calculated to have four bedrooms,Duplex unit will be calculated as 50%two bedroom units and 50% -8- three bedroom units: Town home and apartments will be calculated with two bedrooms. 2. When available land is inappropriate for park,or recreational use,the City shall require a cash contribution. This is based on the land cash calculation and the value per acre of the land based on the"Fair market value". The amount of land cash distribution hall be determined by Staff and Board analysis of the site and relationship to neighboring parks. 3. In cases approved by the Park and Recreation Board,the contribution of land cash can be a mixture of 50% land 50%cash,or other agreed upon contribution combination. 4. A developer may donate the land together with cash for park development upfront to have the construction of the park expedited. Front funding for park development is preferred.Otherwise,a 75%build-out standard for the subdivision shall be set in place for park development. 5. No land cash credit shall be given for the following: a. Exclusively private facilities& parks. b. Retention or detention areas,measured at the top of the bank. c. Lands located within the 100 year floodplain G. Full or partial credit will be given for the following: a. Active wet areas(lakes.rivers, creeks),historical areas,conservation areas. etc.,that are identified to have recreational or conservation value. This will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Studies shall be required to verify historical and/or conservation areas. b. Paths or trails constructed and dedicated in an exclusive easement to the City. or paths identified as intrastructure or connecting trails to a regional trail system. Partial credit may be given for undeveloped exclusive easements dedicated to the City for future trail development. c. Land donations that are usable and/or classified as developable for use b) the general public. 9- SECTION 3: PARK DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE AND PROCEDURES A. The Park and Recreation Board and staff will plan (fie development of the park and/open land site with the following guidelines 1whenever possible]. There may be occasions when a developer provides development support in advance to a subdivision being built ,Ahich may require these procedures to be adjusted or altered. 1. Based on the established Land Cash Ordinance a developer donates park land to the United City of Yorkville Park and Recreation Department for future use and development. 2. The Park and Recreation Board and staff determines park utilization and design in conjunction with the Parks Open Space Master plans to establish needs and determine priority and fiscal needs. 3. The staff recommends annual budget projections for park development based on available fiscal resources. 4. A Concept plan by the Park Planner or United City of Yorkville Staff indicates park design and preliminary cost projections. 5. Whenever possible,a public meeting is held for residents of the surrounding subdivision and impacted area for input. G. A finalized concept plan and cost projection is developed and submitted to the Park Board for approval and a recommendation is given to the City Council for development. 7. Timeline is established for project management. 8. Project/Park plan work begins until completion. • to- SECTION 4: PARK I1iPROVENIENT STANDARDS A. Park Design: The following criteria are considered desirable traits for a park to be acceptable to the United City of Yorkville: .

CC: Kathy Orr, City Attorney Lisa Pickering, Deputy City Clerk Date: August 31, 2009 Subject: Bond/Letter of Credit Reduction Policy At their meeting on August 18`h,the Public Works Committee discussed a potential revision to our current bond/letter of credit reduction policy. The current policy is to use the engineer's estimate of probable cost(EOPC)that is approved at the time of final plan preparation as the basis for calculating the bond/letter of credit amount and reductions to the amount of the bond/letter of credit. The bond/letter of credit may be reduced per Resolution 2009-15 (attached) based on work that is substantially completed. The proposed change to the policy is to require that the unit pricing of the EOPC be adjusted whenever a reduction is requested by applying an inflation factor, from the date that the EOPC was prepared or most recently updated,to the date of the reduction. The inflation factor would be applied uniformly across all unit pricing in the EOPC. I recommend that we use the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the adjustment calculations. Please place this item on the September 15, 2009 Public Works Committee agenda for discussion.

He stated that he received a hug from a little girl at the event who was suffering from cancer and that was the greatest thanks he could get. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. CITIZEN COMMENTS Joe Besco explained that while he was an alderman he expressed his concern with the elimination of the Committee of the Whole meetings. He stated he was disturbed by what he read in the newspaper about Mayor Burd silencing his alderman at a meeting. If aldermen are not going to be allowed to speak on a subject at the City Council meeting,it should be sent back to committee. Mark Johnson distributed a handout(see attached). He stated he received his city newsletter and on the front page Mayor Burd explains the"ABC's"of real estate taxes. He stated that he is treated as an"out- of-towner"and has been told by former Alderman Allen that he is a non-resident however he has spent seventeen years in Kendall County,just yards away from the Yorkville City Hall. He noted he went to the city website to look at tonight's agenda and found the information on real estate bills. He commented that there was enough information presented for him to look up who the tax bill belonged to. He also asked the City Council to consider other residents who pay taxes. He noted that a special census worker for the city stopped by his home even though it is not in city limits so he felt the special census number may not be accurate. He then went over exhibit 2 that he distributed and questioned some of the fees and explained which ones he pays. He stated that when he complains about things it is because he contributes to city revenue however he can't vote or use the library without paying for his library card. Also he felt there is a prejudice against county residents and it should end. Bob Allen responded to Mr.Johnson's complaint. He stated that the city can correct the special census in the future. He felt that if people want to pay city real estate taxes they should be welcomed into the city. He then commented on an article in the city newsletter about the issues in Windett Ridge. He felt the article singled out residents of Windett Ridge and he apologized for this since everyone has been working on the issues. Tom Gilmour commented to Mr.Alien's statements. He noted that county residents pay taxes,use city roads,shop in Yorkville stores,etc. He stated that he tried to reserve his comments to those subjects that impact him as a neighbor to the city.

Ayes-6 Nays-0 Present-2 Munns-aye,Plocher-aye,Spears-present,Sutcliff-aye, Werderich-aye, Teeling-aye,Golinski-aye,Gilson-present REPORTS MAYOR'S REPORT Bristol Bay Mowing Proposal (CC 2009-65) Mayor Burd asked Mr.Olson to address this. Mr.Olson explained that the city had an agreement for Centex to mow the Bristol Bay Park. Centex was going to contract the service out however it was determined that the city could mow the park for less. The city agreed to waive Centex's mowing requirements in exchange for the cash Centex would have paid to contractors however the city does not have the equipment to mow the area efficiently. The cash from Centex could be used to purchase the equipment that can be used at this location as well as other in the city. Mayor Burd entertained a motion to approve the Bristol Bay Mowing Proposal as presented. So moved by Alderman Werderich;seconded by Alderman Munns. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—July 28 2009- page 4 Alderman Gilson asked how the purchase price of the mower was determined and if it was the same price as a year ago. Mr.Olson explained he spoke with the vender several weeks ago to verify the price and it is still the same. Alderman Gilson asked if inflation for mowing was taken into account. Mr. Olson said it was. He explained that the city began mowing in May 2009 without having the agreement with Centex. Now Centex is paying back what they owe the city based on what it would have cost them to hire a contractor. Alderman Gilson asked how this amount was determined. Mr.Olson explained that Centex was responsible to mow this year however it was easier for the city to mow.if the agreement is approved, the funds will cover the cost of past mowing. Superintendent of Parks Scott Sleezer made the calculations of staff time and equipment and presented it to Mr.Olson. Alderman Gilson questioned mowing the Centex property while the city can't handle the mowing caused by the new mowing ordinance. Alderman Gilson stated he felt that the city was taking on more responsibility while it can't stay on top of things. Alderman Golinski questioned if the funds from Centex could be used for park improvements. Mr.Olson explained that per the Annexation Agreement the developer is to give$50,000.00 for each park in the development which goes into Land Cash. Alderman Golinski questioned the dirt for the park by the Fire Department and Mr.Olson stated he did not believe the final plat had been recorded and this will be addressed when it is. Alderman Spears stated she shared Alderman Gilson's concerns. She felt that this arrangement has already been agreed upon Alderman Gilson asked if there was already a verbal agreement to mow. Mr.Olson stated that staff sat down and put together the numbers, He felt it was a safe concept to get funds for parks so he went ahead and approved the mowing. Alderman Gilson asked if there would be legal problems if the agreement is not approved;could Centex sue because the city mowed. Attorney Orr stated they could not sue because staff does not have the authority to obligate the city. She felt it would be foolish to not to approve the agreement because in the event it is not approved the city would have to try and collect for services rendered. Alderman Spears asked if funds were going to Land Cash and then being allocated to a capital expense. Mr.Olson explained that this is the largest park in the city and the city does not have the equipment to maintain it well. A new mower will allow staff to maintain the property better. Alderman Spears asked why weeds on vacant lots are not being mowed. Director Dhuse explained that the city only has one tractor that is able to mow large lots. The Parks Department equipment is not heavy enough to handle this type of mowing. Motion approved by a roll call vote, Ayes-6 Nays-2 Sutcliff-aye.Munns-aye,Spears-nay,Ploeber-aye, Werderich-aye,Golinski-aye,Teeling-aye,Gilson-nay Resolution 2009-37 Approving a Revised Naming of Parks Policy (CC 2009-66) Mayor Burd entertained a motion to approve a resolution approving a revised Naming of Parks Policy and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute. So moved by Alderman Golinski;seconded by Alderman Werderich. Alderman Gilson asked if this was brought forward because former Alderman Allen brought a name forward after ignoring the Park Board's recommendation. Mayor Burd advised Alderman Gilson he was out of order by making a personal attack against Mr.Allen. Alderman Golinski noted that the Park Board put a lot of effort into the revision due to the holes in the previous version. Motion approved by a roll call vote. Ayes-8 Nays-0 Munns-aye,Spears-aye,Plocher-aye,Werderich-aye, Golinski-aye,Teeling-aye,Gilson-aye,Sutcliff-aye Authorization for Part-Time Employees to Work Beyond 1000 Hours (CC 2009-62) Mayor Burd entertained a motion to approve part-time employees Beth Stricker,Kirsten Walker,Rob Bieritz,Amanda McGee,Kim Golden,Dan Felton and Kathleen Auw to work over 1000 hours annually per employee manual section 1.4.4 and to authorize enrollment in RAU. So moved by Alderman Werderich;seconded by Alderman Golinski. Mayor Burd noted that this has been before the City Council but was sent back to the Park Board to be reviewed. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—July 14 2009—Page 5 Mr.Olson explained that when the Park Board discussed this,the list grew from three employees to seven. He listed where the cuts will come from to address this expense(Operating Budget,Rec Center, etc.) Alderman Golinski added that there was adequate discussion by the Park Board. Eight members agreed to vest the employees in EARF but can part-time employees get vested? He also asked if an employee leaves the city before they are vested does the money contributed stay in the pool. Director Mika stated she was unsure on full-time versus part-time vesting but would get more information on this. She explained that when an employee leaves they have the option to get their contribution reimbursed however the city's contribution stays in the pool, Alderman Werderich noted that these are valuable employees but he cautioned that staff needs to keep an eye on this situation. Alderman Spears asked if it has been evaluated if it would be less costly to hire another part-time employee for the desk. Mr.Olson stated that this was researched but staff felt that the department is adequately manned without adding employees. Alderman Spears requested information on what a new part-time employee would cost versus enrollment of current part-time employers in IMRF. She felt that this would be a cost savings to the city. Mayor Burd stated that she also questioned hiring someone to man the desk. She asked Mr.Olson to share the explanation he gave her with the City Council, Mr.Olson explained that part-time employees run the entire facility from 4:30 a.m.to 9:00 p.m.and the facility is usually manned by only two part-time employees at a time. Staff is kept to a minimum and the employees do more than serve at the desk;they register people,clean,maintain equipment,etc. Mayor Burd stated a new employee would have to be trained while those who have been there awhile understand the operation. Alderman Munns asked if the$8,000.00 covered increased benefits. Mr.Olson stated that no additional wages or benefits will be given;the city will just kick in for IMRF. Alderman Munns suggested that in the future a cost analysis be provided comparing hiring another employee versus IMRF contributions. Alderman Gilson asked for detailed amounts for the cuts in the operating budget of the Rec Center. Mr. Olson explained that program expenses are being used for supplies.There is a$60,000.00 line item for all classes. He will identify specific classes and not purchase the items needed for the class. Alderman Gilson questioned the cutting of employee's salaries and Mr.Olson stated that employee's hours will be cut. Alderman Gilson pointed out that the Rec Center is operating in the red. He understood that Mr. Olson wants to break even however he did not feel this was good enough. He felt that the city was pumping money into something that is failing and he did not feel this was fair to the taxpayers. Mayor Burd noted that the City Council was addressing the employees getting IMRF not the Rec Center. Alderman Spears stated that funds being set aside for 1MRF cannot be touched. If an employee stays with the city they get the money. She noted that corporate America is hiring part-time employees so they don't have to pay benefits and she felt the city should follow suit. She reiterated that she felt hiring an additional part-time employee would be a better way to address this. Motion approved by a roll call vote. Ayes-6 Nays-2 Spears-nay,Plocher-aye,Werderich-aye,Golinski-aye, Teeling-aye,Gilson-nay,Suteliff--aye,Munns-aye Budget Update (CC 2009-67) Mayor Burd distributed budget update information(see attached). She explained that the city's accounting is different from a person's personal accounting. She asked Director Mika to explain a few budget items such as property insurance,liabilities and employee benefits. Mayor Burd noted that funds from Hoover cannot be used to balance the budget because they are designated for Land Cash. She stated that the report was a review of where the city ended last year and what was cut. She asked the City Council to read the report and direct any questions to her or Director Mika. Alderman Spears noted that the memo was dated duly 21,2009 and questioned why it was not in the packet for City Council review. She stated she would liked to see this come back before the City Council in two weeks for further discussion. Mayor Burd explained that the memo was meant as a FYI to the City Council and she would have it put on the next City Council agenda. CITY COUNCIL REPORT No report. ATTORNEY'S REPORT The Minutes of the Regglar Meeting of the Ci Council—July 28 2009—Page 6 Attorney Orr reported at the City Council's direction she prepared a settlement agreement for Apex Developers. The agreement addresses fees pointed out by staff,an easement being granted to Kendall County in exchange for the developer extending water and sewer to the counties property at the developer's expense and recapture and tap on fees. The developer will reimburse the city for legal fees in excess of$2,000.00 and the city will agree to rezone the property as a PUD.

This is part of the trail plan from the downtown going south. Mayor Burd entertained a motion to approve an ordinance approving a Recreational Lease Agreement for a shared-use trail by and between the City and the Commonwealth Edison Company and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all documents. So moved by Alderman Werderich,seconded by Alderman Golinski. Alderman Spears asked where the$1,500.00 was coming from. Interim Director Olson explained that it was being paid by the city from the Administration Department. Alderman Spears noted that the proposed area is washed away,the bridges are in bad condition and the width might not be enough for a trail.Mayor Burd noted that the trail has not been built so there aren't bridges. Director Miller stated that there are ravines that will need bridges. He explained that a$2 million CMAT grant has been applied for which will cover the engineering and construction of bridges. The width of the easement is 50'and the standard easement width for a bike trail is 20'for a 10'path. There is some ComEd equipment on the property in Raintree so the trail will go around it and the Raintree Homeowner's Association addresses this. If the city is not successful in getting the grant,he indicated he would continue to research funding mechanisms. He explained that the trail will only be considered when funding is available. He explained that the initial engineering for the trail was done a year ago by Engineering Enterprises,Inc. Alderman Spears asked for clarification on page 5,Item 9b of the agreement regarding paving;does the city have ComEd's written consent to pave the trail. Director Miller stated not at this time. Alderman Spears suggested allocating funds just in case after twenty years the lease is not extended and ComEd wants the trail removed.

Alderman Spears stated she would like to table this until the costs are determined. She made a motion to table the agreement until the next City Council meeting;seconded by Alderman Gilson.

Alderman Gilson added that residents want their roads fixed more than trails. He stated Alderman Sutcliff was off-base because necessities are needed more than luxuries. Alderman Spears stated that residents she talks to want good roads,police protection,etc.and are not interested in"green"things. She suggested that the city send out a survey to poll residents on this matter. She stated that the survey may cost the city some money but may save the city more money on nonessential items.

Administrator McLaughlin confirmed the extension was for six months and explained that last year the extension was for one year. Alderman Gilson asked if there were any plans in the next six months to use the land match. Interim Director Olson stated he was not aware of any at this time and he was also looking at other foundations to use instead of CorLands.He stated that OSLAD grants are due in July. Mayor Burd added that the city was looking for another foundation to hold the properly while staff is researching grants. When a grant is found then hands the property back to the city for a matching grant. CorLands charges large fees to do this. Alderman Spears asked how much money the Yorkville Foundation has. interim Director Olson stated he did not know. Alderman Werderich questioned why CorLands would not want to hold the property after six months. Mayor Burd explained that they try to encourage the city to do something because they don't want to hold the property forever. Alderman Teeling clarified that the land could not be used for anything besides Parks&Recreation. Interim Director Olson stated that was correct. She asked if a trail could be put on the land or if it could be used to match a grant for bike trails. Interim Director Olson stated that these were a possibility. Alderman Spears noted that only sixty acres of the property is outside the flood plain. Interim Director Olson stated that thirty acres arc being used for a match.

A new site has been determined and the IDNR has been contacted. The site will have a concrete pad with docks and tie ups. The maximum amount of the grant is$200,000.00 with no match. Alderman Gilson asked if the project would cost more than the grant. Mr.Olson stated that he was not applying for more money than needed and there should be no cost to the city. Alderman Gilson asked if there is a limited time in which to build and Mr.Olson stated that the project needs to begin within two years of receiving the grant. Alderman Gilson asked what the criteria of the grant were based on. Mr. Olson stated that they are based on what grant reviewer looks at the application however he felt that the city's chances were good since is the only type of white water feature in the state. Alderman Spears asked if the city would lose money if the project was not completed in two years and she asked if there were any upfront costs to the city. Interim Director Olson stated there was a partial upfront payment. Alderman Spears asked to see the grant application and was told by Mr.Olson that the application was non-descript and he had not completed yet. Alderman Spears asked if there would be user fee for the facility and Mr.Olson stated there would not be one because there wasn't going to be a charge for the water bypass and he was keeping in line with this.

Ayes-7 Nays-0 Present-1 Werderich-aye,Golinski-aye,Teeling-aye,Gilson-aye Sutcliff aye,Munns-aye,Spear;-present,Plocher-aye Budget Update (CC 2009-67) Mayor Burd distributed and went over budget update information(see attached). Items she touched upon were the department breakdowns;the authorized use of$600,000.00 in the Reserve Fund,position cuts; the Park&Recreation Department's deficit. The Minutes or the Regular meeting or the City Council—August 11 2009—page 6 Finance Director Mika went over her August 11,2009 memo which addressed budget questions submitted to her by Alderman Gilson. Alderman Gilson asked if it was a bad sign to take"rainy day funds"to assist with the General Fund. Director Mika explained that the"rainy day fund"is the General Fund. Alderman Gilson noted that Land Cash borrowed from the General Fund and Director Mika explained that this was done because the revenues projected did not come in as budgeted. Alderman Gilson pointed out that in September 2008 the General Fund was at 25.8%and in April 2009 it was at 2.38%. He stated that this decrease worried him. Director Mika explained that when the April 2009 report was done not all revenues,such as from municipal sales tax and state income tax,had been received. These are usually months behind. The auditors will make adjustments now that the funds have been received. Treasurer Powell asked if Director Mika had the General Fund percentage for May 2009 and she stated she did not have that figure with her. Alderman Spears asked if the attorney fees included those for Attorney Gardiner. Director Mika stated that they did not because his was a separate line item. Alderman Spears asked her to provide information on Attorney Gardiner's fees. Director Mika stated she would provide the figures from the 08109 fiscal year. Mayor Burd stated that fees were pointed out in the July 21,2009 memo. Fees related to Aspen Ridge are from Attorney Gardiner. Interim Director Olson went over his August 11,2009 memo. He indicated that his memo hits the high points and that the Park Board will be getting a full report at their meeting, He invited the City Council to attend. He stated that the numbers listed in the packet for the last City Council meeting will fluctuate due to accounting procedures. The 08109 deficit is around$200,000.00 however after the audit the deficit is anticipated to be about$130,000.00. Interim Director Olson explained that the Rec Center and the Park &Recreation Department operating budgets are separate. The operating budget is subsidized by the General Fund. The Rec Center budget is not subsidized and is at a deficit. He addressed Rec Center memberships stating that when the city took over there were 700 memberships and now there are 1200 however the number does fluctuate week to week. Even with the increase in membership,the Rec Center has not seen an immediate jump in revenues as most people pay their membership monthly. He indicated that membership is on track to beat last year's numbers and membership fees have increased. The preliminary numbers are on pace to meet a full year's budget numbers. He did not feel that there will be a problem meeting$400,000.00 this year. Mr.Olson added that previously cuts were not made in the Park &Recreation Department budget so he had to scramble to make as many cuts as he could. Alderman Spears asked what the monthly lease payment was and Mr.Olson stated it was $17,500.001month for the first two years and then it would increase$500.00/month each year after that. Alderman Spears asked what the monthly withdraw on revenue was and Mr.Olson stated that revenues did not match expenditures. He felt they were doing better this year and the budget shows the deficit decreasing. He hoped to be in the black for the majority of FY 09110.Alderman Spears questioned the taxes on the property and Attorney Orr indicated that the taxes were in the business plan and former Director of Park and Recreation Mogle tried to get them reduced.Alderman Spears noted that the Rec Center pool was going to be closed for repairs and questioned if members were being reimbursed for this. Mr.Olson stated that it would only be closed one day and members with a"pool only"membership should be credited for the lost day. Mr.Olson also went over the questions addressed in his memo. Mayor Burd questioned the real estate taxes for the property and Mr.Olson explained that there were no taxes for the first year and they would be$26,000.00 this year. Afterward they will be$52,000.00. He stated he was looking into getting an exemption for the real estate taxes. Alderman Gilson asked why the staff did not do an audit of the income in the beginning. Mr.Olson stated that the staff did not have access to the financial figures. He stated that it appeared that either membership declined between September 2007 and July 2008 or erroneous numbers were presented. The city decreased prices by implementing different price levels. Another factor affecting revenues is the monthly payment of membership. Alderman Gilson read a letter from Speer Financial to the former Director of Park and Recreation Mogle concerning unaudited amounts,lack of an accountant's adjustment,etc. Alderman Gilson stated he was concerned that revenues were inflated and expenses deflated. He asked where the city was now with the Speer report and Mayor Burd stated that the city was nowhere because it did not affect what is going on today. She question Alderman Gilson as to the purpose of his reading the report. He stated that scrutiny of the Ree Center was necessary. He felt the city was in a situation with it because of assumptions made at the beginning. Mayor Burd noted that the The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—August 11,2009—page 7 person responsible left the city's employ and now Mr.Olson is being accountable. She felt his reading of the Speer report was counterproductive. Alderman Spears noted that the former Director of Park and Recreation wasn't the only one who presented information on the Rec Center. She stated that two of the department's supervisors were also behind the acquisition. Mayor Burd noted that there were aldermen also involved. She stated that no one expected the recession and that if the Rec Center is not in the black by the end of the year it can be reevaluated. Alderman Sutcliff asked how many of those who participate in Rec Center classes are members, Mr. Olson stated that the ratio is seventy to thirty of members versus non-members. Review of Ethics Act and Open Meetings Act (CC 2009-74) Mayor Burd reported that the City Council was provided with a booklet containing the Ethics Act and Open Meetings Act. These were put together at her request by Deputy Clerk Pickering and Administrative Assistant Gehr. She asked that this information be distributed due to an issue with one of the aldermen. She noted that it takes more than one aldermen to violate the Open Meetings Act. Also in the booklet is the city's Ethics Ordinance which prohibits campaigning on the city's property or with the use of the city's equipment. The mayor is responsible to oversee and enforce this ordinance. She asked that any questions be directed to her or the city attorney. She further explained that no penalty was adopted with the ethics ordinance however the state makes a violation a Class A misdemeanor. Also,the city does not have an ethics officer so she will be bringing this forward to the City Council for further discussion. The State's Attorney suggested that this be addressed and that the city adopt the state's ethic commission or form one of its own. Alderman Spears commented that it was a great reference guide but asked that information on the statement of economic interest be included in the information. Attorney Orr added that the Opens Meeting act has been amended and the changes will be effective January 1,2010. She explained that there is training required and a public ethics officer will be appointed. She stated that she intended to develop a memo for the booklet explaining the changes and that the changes...ill also be discussed at the IML Conference. Mayor Surd added that Metro West is opposing the amendment. CITY COUNCIL REPORT No report. ATTORNEY'S REPORT No report. CITY CLERK'S REPORT No report. CITY TREASURER'S REPORT No report. CITY ADMINISTATOR'S REPORT No report. FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT Director Mika reported that at the last meeting she asked the City Council to sign new signature cards for the Library.

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS REPORT Director Dhuse reported that the department worked on property maintenance in the Windett Ridge subdivision last week. They will be working in the Caledonia and Grande Reserve subdivisions this week. They are keeping on top of things with tickets adjudicated each week. In regards to citizens providing lot numbers when they file a complaint,he stated it wasn't necessary but helpful. Also,the Raintree subdivision was being mowed however the contractor doing the mowing has gone out of business.

The city will receive a grant in the amount of$231,000.00 to be used on sidewalks south of the river.

The School District partnered with the Police Department for the grant which will provide 12,000 linear feet of sidewalk. Also being implemented is a public awareness program for walking and riding bikes to school. Alderman Spears asked if the Raintree subdivision would qualify for any grant money since they don't have sidewalks. Director Miller stated that the subdivision was not part of the grant application. He explained that the purpose of the program was to provide safe paths to school. Mayor Burd added that the sidewalks in the Raintree subdivision are to be paid for by the developer.

REPORTS PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE REPORT No report. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT Ordinance 2009-40 Authorizing the Execution of an Annexation Agreement Haehner Property (PC 2009-05) A motion was made by Alderman Golinski to approve an ordinance authorizing the execution of an Annexation Agreement for Haehner property and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all documents;seconded by Alderman Munns. The Minutes of the Re ular Meeting of the City Council-August 11 2009- page 9 Alderman Werderich stated that he did not support the Annexation Agreement because be felt the city should follow the land plan that calls for lower density. Alderman Munns stated that other towns are watching Yorkville and they may offer a developer higher density which will still affect Yorkville. He supported the agreement. Alderman Gilson agreed with Alderman Werderich. He stated that comprehensive plans were addressed in the class for newly elected officials that he attended. It was suggested that comprehensive plans should be revised or be followed. He supported following the plan for estate zoning. He asked why the initial plan was at the city's expense. Director Miller explained that the concept plan does not take staff time or funds to do and historically the city has offered this service. Alderman Gilson asked how the city could afford to extend utilities to this property and Director Miller explained that two other developers in the area have commitments to the city. He explained that recapture agreements for Windett Ridge and Yorkville South were already in place and that developers will front fund the cost. Alderman Gilson asked why the developer was getting an eight year exemption. Director Miller stated that this is a typical fee break for an agreement. The clock on the exemption begins upon annexation which in this case is when the property becomes contiguous. He did not feel the time period was risky for the city,this exemption has been given in the past and staff supports it. Alderman Gilson commented that if the city does not want to follow the current Comprehensive Plan it should be changed. He did not support the annexation agreement. Alderman Golinski noted that the density as only nine units over the current limit and he supported the agreement. Mayor Burd asked how much property was between this property and the city limit. Director Miller explained that there are two opportunities for this property to become contiguous. He also noted that there is only one property between Yorkville Estates and MPI South to get to Caton Farm Road. Mayor Burd commented that this annexation gets the city to Caton Farm Road and near the Prairie Parkway. She felt this is the best deal for the city and currently the owner has no intent to develop the property. She thanked the owner and Mr.Nelson for working with the city. Alderman Spears commented that this was a difficult decision. The plan was for estate zoning on the south side of Yorkville and that the new Comprehensive Plan gave the residents what they requested. Alderman Sutcliff stated that estate zoning was discussed by the Economic Development Committee however the market directs what will be built. Currently people do not want estate lots. She supported the agreement. A motion was made by Alderman Munns to call the question;seconded by Alderman Golinski. Motion to call the question approved by a roll call vote. Ayes-6 Nays-2 Spears-nay,Plocher-aye,Werderich-aye,Golinski-aye, Teeling-aye,Gilson-nay,Sutcliff-aye,Munns-aye Motion approved by a roll call vote. Ayes-6 Nays-3 Teeling-aye,Gilson-nay,Sutcliff-aye,Munns-aye,Spears-nay, Plocher-aye,Werderich-nay,Golinski-aye,Burd-aye Attorney Robert Nelson,representing the Haehners,commented that the market does dictate the product. He felt that once the streets and detention are constructed on the property the density will be less than 300 units. He thanked the City Council for their approval. Ordinance 200941 Amending the Code of Ordinances Providing for the Regulation of Wind Energy Systems (PC 2009-01) A motion was made by Alderman Golinski to approve an ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances providing for the regulation of wind energy systems and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute; seconded by Alderman Werderich. Alderman Werderich explained that this started at the Economic Development Committee and then was sent to the Public Safety Committee,The Public Safety Committee discussed safety issues and added a provision to the amendment. Now it is back before the City Council. Mayor Burd added that originally when the ordinance was brought forward there were three separate components. This amendment deals with the smallest wind system which people could install on their houses. The wind systems are already allowed;this regulates them. The Minutes of the Regular MeetinE of the City Council—Aueust 11,2009—page 10 Alderman Gilson stated that he pushed for changes in this ordinance. He thanked the City Council for the ones made so far however he felt that the ordinance was stilled flawed. He went through the ordinance in detail and expressed his concerns. He did not want the ordinance to move forward just so the city can say they are the first to have this type of ordinance. He noted that Sugar Grove has placed a moratorium on the construction of devices for six months and did not understand this because Attorney Orr advised the City Council a moratorium was illegal. He stated that the ordinance has gotten better but he felt there is still more"homcwork"needed before it is passed. Alderman Teeling asked if the city inspected other things after a permit was issued. Director Miller explained inspections are done on things which are issued a temporary permit such as signs.She asked him to explain abandon systems and if the city was responsible to abate them. He explained that the city may act on abandon systems after one month after the cessation of use and the city will not abate systems; this is the responsibility of the owner. Any cost is the burden of the property owner. If the owner does not remove the system,it will be considered a nuisance and the city will remove and charge the property owner for the service. Mayor Burd expressed her concern with city employees removing a system from a resident's roof, She did not want the city going on someone's property and doing something to their house. Director Miller stated that abandonment is when a system is in disrepair which affects public safety. Alderman Sutcliff stated that the reason for the ordinance is to protect the public. She felt the sooner it is passed the better however she did have a problem with not having a city inspector. She fell the biannual inspections were cost prohibitive and overkill. She made a motion to remove the section requiring inspections every two years from the ordinance;seconded by Alderman Teeling. Alderman Gilson commented that a wind system was nothing like a rusty air conditioner or a chimney. It is a structure with spinning blades which could hurt someone. He felt removing the provision for inspections was a mistake. Motion to amend defeated by a roll call vote. Ayes-2 Nays-6 Werderich-nay,Golinski-nay,Teeling-aye,Gilson-nay, Sutcliff-aye,Munns-nay,Spears-nay,Plocher-nay Alderman Spears stated that several members of the City Council had concerns and it did not appear the ordinance was ready for approval. She stated that she spoke with Sugar Grove trustees about their moratorium and noted that a moratorium must not be illegal because they have one.She made a motion for a six month moratorium;seconded by Alderman Gilson. Attorney Orr explained that it would be better,to make a motion to table this. Alderman Gilson withdrew his second and Alderman Spears withdrew the motion. A motion was made by Alderman Spears to table the ordinance;seconded by Alderman Gilson. Motion to table defeated by a roll call vote.

The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council—Au ust 11 2009—page 11 Alderman Werderich reported that the regulation of parking of certain size trucks was discussed by the Public Safety Committee. Attorney Orr advised a regulation within the Zoning Ordinance so a draft ordinance was developed. Mayor Burd stated that she read Alderman Gilson's comments in the newspaper and was concerned that the Chief said this is a constant source of complaints. She discussed this with the Chief who told her the complaints were sporadic with six being logged in since April 2007. This year only one verbal complaint was received. She distributed a copy of the incident history(see attached). She stated complaints to an alderman were another issue. She asked Alderman Werderich if he had received any complaints and he stated he had but he did not feel the need to report the complaints to the Chief Alderman Gilson stated that he has received two complaints since taking office and when he spoke to the Chief about them he was told that this was an ongoing issue. Alderman Plocher stated that he asked that this be amended because he was unsure if it covered construction equipment. Alderman Sutcliff asked if this was city wide or specific. Mayor Burd clarified it was citywide. Alderman Suteliff felt it impeded businesses and that she would rather the police protect public safety and not be monitoring parking. She did not support the amendment. Alderman Golinski commented that he would rather see a truck driver pull over,park and sleep than have him drive tired. He asked if this was originally part of the Zoning Ordinance and Director Miller indicated it was. Alderman Golinski questioned if the Dave's Meat Market truck or U-Haul vehicles were affected because he felt the wording was unclear. Mayor Burd stated that when this changed residents leased space to park trucks off street. Trucks have been parking at the Shell Station for a long time and residents feel it is a truck stop. Alderman Werderich stated that the committee does not want to restrict things such as construction equipment. He made a motion to amend the ordinance to allow construction vehicle parking;seconded by Alderman Plocher. Alderman Werderich stated that he lives in the area of the Shell station and over the past year there has been increased usage of the property as a truck stop. Alderman Gilson added that sometimes there up to sixteen semis parked overnight and there are no showers or bathrooms to make it a truck stop.There is litter near the trucks and standing water in the ruts that they make. Attorney Orr suggested the wording be amended to read"off street parking facilities....shal I be used solely for the parking of vehicles owners,employees,visitors,agents,contractors and customers at the business or establishment.....all other vehicles weighing 15,000 pounds or more shall not be parked in a business district between the hours of 10:00 p.m.and 4:00 a.m.unless loading or unloading....". A motion was made by Alderman Munns to table the amendment;seconded by Alderman Werderich. There was discussion as to table the amendment or send it back to committee. Alderman Werderich withdrew his second and Alderman Munns withdrew the motion.

Haehner, petitioner , filing an application 4 with the United City of Yorkville requesting 07 06P 5 annexation and rezoning from Kendall County A-1 6 Agricultural to the United City of Yorkville R-2 7 Residential . 8 The real property consists of 9 approximately 120 acres located at the northwest 07:0'7 PM 10 corner of Ament and Ashley Roads , Kendall County, 11 Illinois . 12 MR . NELSON : Good evening, honorable 13 Mayor, members of the Council , ladies and 14 gentlemen . My name is Robert Nelson . I am an 07:07PM 15 attorney . I practice in Aurora , Illinois . I am 16 here tonight on behalf of the petitioner, Alan 17 Haehner . Alan Haehner is not here tonight ; he is 18 a resident of a suburb of Minneapolis in 19 Minnesota . 07:07PM 20 Alan owns 120 acres at the -- 21 essentially the northwest corner of Ament Road and 22 Ashley Road . He inherited that land from his 23 grandparents , Ross and L�. Ily Holt . The Holts were 24 schoolteachers , they lived in Naperville and they Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030 4 1 had quite a few farms in Kendall County, this one 2 included . 3 Their tenant that they had for years 4 was Dale Henrickson, who still lives in the 07:08PM 5 neighborhood, although he is now retired . He was 6 a tenant for Alan for a number of years after the 7 Holts passed away . 8 Alan holds the property as an 9 .investment only . He has committed it currently to 07:06PM 10 an agricultural use . The land is strictly used 11 for rotated crops at this point in time . 12 In November of 2008 Alan received a 13 letter from the City of Yorkville inviting him to 14 file a petition to annex the 120 acres 'to the City 07;08PM 15 of Yorkville . Negotiations ensued over the course 16 of several months . Alan and I worked with Travis 17 Miller and the City attorney to hammer out the 18 terms and conditions of an annexation agreement . 19 A petition for annexation was filed, o9PM 20 the proper notices were served, and a hearing was 21 held before the Yorkville Plan Commission on the 22 question of zoning . 23 The Plan Commission voted an 24 approval of a zoning classification of R-2 with a Depo•Court Reporting Sery ce ( 630) 983-0030 5 1 cap of 300 units for the entire project . 2 The land is not currently offered 3 for sale . The land is not marketed ght now . It 4 is not lasted . There is no concept plan . No 07:D9PM 5 engineer has been retained . No planner has been 6 engaged . 7 Alan comes before this Council at B its invitation and he has I think in good faith 9 negotiated with your staff an annexation agreement 07:10PM 10 which he believes to be appropriate for the 11 circumstances and which the City also believes to 12 be appropriate for the circumstances . 13 On his behalf r kindly ask that this 14 Council consider the annexation of this property 07:10PM 15 on the terms and conditions set forth in that 16 agreement . 17 I would say, too, to all here who 18 probably are not aware, this land is not yet 19 contiguous with the City of Yorkville, so the 07:1DPM 20 annexation will not be accomplished as soon as the 21 agreement is approved; rather, the annexation 22 calls for -- or the agreement calls for annexation 23 once the property does become contiguous , and that 24 may take many months , if not several years , so Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030 6 1 it ' s not a project for which my client is pushing 2 hard or fast , and he is willing to be patient to 3 see what happens in the neighborhood around his 4 property . 07:1IPM 5 Eventually it will become contiguous 6 with the City and at that point in time if this 7 annexation agreement is approved, he will be very 8 happy to add his property to the United City pr 9 the Village of Yorkville as I grew up to learn it 07:11PM 10 to be . 11 So thank you very much for 12 entertaining this petition and the annexation 13 agreement . 14 MAYOR BURD : Thank you, Mr . Nelson . 0-7:11PM 15 Does anyone in the audience have any questions on 16 this reannexation agreement ? 17 (No response . } 18 MAYOR BURD : No? Then I guess we will 19 close this hearing because we will discuss it 07:12PM 20 among the City Council at a later time . 21 MR . NELSON : Thank you . 22 MAYOR BURD : Close the public hearing 23 and move to the Kendall Land Development , LLC, 24 petitioner, which has filed an application with Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030 7 1 the United City of Yorkville requesting rezoning 2 from the United City of Yorkville R-2 One Family 3 District to a Planned Unit Development . 4 The real property consists of 07:12PM 5 approximately 51 acres located east of Route 47 , 6 between Van Emmon Street and Route 126 . 7 Is there anyone here tonight from 8 Kendall Land Development , LLC? 9 MR . MILLER: Mayor, we did receive a 07:12PM 10 letter from this petitioner requesting to continue 11 the public hearing to September 8th, 2009 . 12 MAYOR KURD : Okay . You should have 13 mentioned that earlier when we were -- 14 MR . MILLER : Well , it would be 07;13PM 15 appropriate to open a public hearing on this date 16 due to the -- this is the date of the public 17 hearing as published, so it is my understanding 18 from Attorney Orr that it be opened on this date, 19 continued to the September . 07:13PM 20 MAYOR BURD: So is there a motion to 21 continue this public hearing to what date? 22 MR . MILLER : September 9th, Tuesday . 23 MS . ORR: September 8th . 24 MR . MILLER : September 8th . Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030 8 1 MAYOR BURR : Tuesday, September 8th . 2 Can I entertain a motion to continue this to 3 Tuesday ' s meeting? 4 ALDERWOMAN SPEARS : Can I ask a 07;13PM 5 question? Is this -- 6 MAYOR BURD : Then we can discuss it . 7 Would someone make a motion to continue this? 8 ALDERMAN GOLINSKI : So moved . 9 ALDERWOMAN SPEARS : Second . a7:13PM 10 Could we get some kind of 11 documentation also for the pub is hearing? I 12 looked all over my files and I found absolutely 13 nothing . 14 MAYOR BURD : Absolutely . I think that 07:13PM 15 would be fair . 16 ALDERWOMAN SPEARS : Okay . 17 MAYOR BURD : Hopefully by then they will 18 have generated something , so maybe that ' s why they 19 need a postponement . 07:14PM 20 Any other comments? Yes . 21 ALDERMAN GOLINSKI : Travis , is there a 22 reason that they asked for this continuance? It 23 seems there is a .lot of people here that would 24 like to discuss this . Depo&Court Reporting Service ( 630) 983-0030 9 1 MR . MILLER: They -- one of the 2 components of their proposal is to incorporate 3 green standards into the buildings within the 4 subdivision . They would like the opportunity to 07:14PM 5 present that to the Green Committee, which meets 6 August 24th, so they asked to continue the public 7 hearing until a date following the Green Committee 8 to be able to make a formal presentation to that 9 group . 0"1:14PM 10 MAYOR BURD: Aren ' t they also trying to 11 bring some -- from what I understand, there was 12 also somebody from GE that was going to try to 13 come here and talk about the community they are 14 trying to put together . 07:14PM 15 MR . MILLER: They are proposing it to be 16 an ecomagination , so a representative from GE 17 discussing that program is planned to be on-hand 18 for the public hearing as well . 19 MAYOR BURD: They will provide you with 07:15PM 20 more information on what that ecomagination 21 community might be . 22 Alderman Spears . 23 ALDERWOMAN SPEARS : Could they also give 24 us information as tar as the flooding situation Depo•Court Reporting Service ( 630) 983-0030 10 1 with all the neighbors? I think that that should 2 be part of what they are doing to resolve that . 3 MR . MILLER : With what. issue? 4 ALDERWOMAN SPEARS : The flooding issue 07:15PM 5 with all the neighbors . I think that ' s a greater 6 .issue than creating a green community there . 7 MAYOR BURR : I think in line with this 8 we just got notification that -- and I don ' t 9 know -- I haven ' t read through this all to see if 07:15PM 10 this is on it , I didn ' t see it , but they wi11 be 11 paving the lower part of that -- that street that 12 was left unpaved, that we had received funding in 13 our letter of credit . Is that correct? 14 MR . McLAUGHLIN : The City Council 07:16PM 15 authorized in the letter of credit to complete the 16 unpaved segment that runs up the hill into 11 Kendallwood Estates , so that work will be 18 starting . 19 That contract has been preapproved 20 by the City Council and the City engineer will 21 kick off a petition to get that work done . They 22 will also be doing some erosion control work on 23 the slopes of the hill running up there at that 24 time also . Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030 11 1 MAYOR BURD : Planting some -- some 2 shrubbery or something? 3 MR . McLAUGHLIN : I know .it ' s plans to 41 keep erosion from occurring ; I don ' t know that 07:16PM 5 it ' s the final landscaping plan, but it is 6 something to prevent further erosion . 7 MAYOR BURD : So hopefully by the time we 8 bring this up again that will be completed and you 9 can see how that works , but it is being addressed . 0'7:16PM 10 ALDERWOMAN SPEARS : Okay . 11 MAYOR BURD : Yes , sir . 12 ALDERMAN WERDERICH : I just -- we kind 13 of got into a legal trick bag recently as a result 19 of a very similar request and I don ' t know if we 07:16PM 15 need to go to the extent of a legal analysis on 16 this , but at least in terms of information that ' s 17 provided to the Council , perhaps there could be a 18 list of LaSalle factors that the City Council can 19 consider and look at , and when the public hearing 07:17PM 20 takes place , they can present information either 21 for or against based on those factors . 22 I ' m not trying to sway anybody on 23 the City Council either way, but just to -- 24 MS . ORR: We can provide you with the Depo•Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030 12 1 memo so that you can --- that ' s an excellent idea . 2 I will provide the Mayor and Council with the list 3 of factors that are generally considered and 4 traditionally considered as a basis for annexation 07:17PM 5 or amendments to annexation . 6 ALDERMAN WERDERICH : Right .

This policy was last amended by City Council in May 2009. This agenda item discusses revisions to the policy, as outlined below and as shown in the track changes and clean copy of the policy (attached). The field rental fees must be set each year for the next year's baseball season, and staff also felt that certain changes should be made to the policy. 1) Page 1 — "Rental Categories" section a) Added a stipulation in category "A" which requires all participants within an organization renting a field under category "A" prices to be Yorkville residents. Previous requirements just stated that the organization must be located in Yorkville. b) Combined categories "D", "E" and "F" into one category "D". This was done for simplification of the categories, and staff feels that non-resident groups should not be differentiated between governments, non-profit groups, private groups, etc. 2) Page 1 --"Athletic 'Field Use Priorities" section a) Removed an entire paragraph which was a duplication of the numbered list above it. 3) Page 4—"General Policies and Procedures for Use of the United City of Yorkville Parks, Fields, and Facilities" section a) Clarified Beecher lighting times. Moved lighting shutoff to an earlier time as a result of surrounding resident complaints. Clarified time of play stoppage and lighting shutoff due to many users playing past shutoff times. 4) Page 6—"Refund of Tournament Fees' section a) Clarified that no prorated refunds are given for unused rain days during tournament play. 5) Page 6—"Athletic Field Reservation Fees" section a) Made changes to categories as stipulated in Item la and lb. 6) Changed rental fees as follows: a) Category A i) 0-2 hours changed from $10 to $20 ii) 2-4 hours changed from $15 to $25 iii) 4-6 hours changed from $20 to $30 iv) 6-$ hours changed from $25 to $35 b) Category B i) 0-2 hours changed from $10 to $25 ii) 2-4 hours changed from $15 to $30 iii) 4-6 hours changed from $20 to $40 iv) 6-8 hours changed from $25 to $45 c) Category C i) 0-2 hours changed from $20 to $30 ii) 2-4 hours changed from $25 to $35 iii) 4-6 hours changed from $30 to $50 iv) 6-8 hours changed from $35 to $55 d) Category D i) 0-2 hours changed from $30 to $40 ii) 2-4 hours changed from $40 to $50 iii) 4-6 hours changed from $45 to $60 iv) 6-8 hours changed from $50 to $70 7) Page 7—"Tournament Fees" section a) Changed rental fee from $850 to $900 b) Clarified that all play must end by 9:45pm c) Clarified that rentals longer than 3 days are allowed for an extra fee.

Memorandum To: City Council rsr. 1 _ _— iasc prom: Travis Miller, Community Development Director o ��i G� CC: Lisa Pickering, Deputy Clerk(for distribution) � �r p Date: September 15, 2009 AE w`= Subject: Zoning Ordinance Chapter 16 Proposed Amendment L Regarding Small Wind Energy Systems The draft ordinance attached introduces provisions regarding Small Wind Energy Systems into Zoning Ordinance Chapter 16 adopted by City Council August 11, 2009. The modifications include adding a definition for Small Wind Energy Systems as well as a new Section 7 outlining the specific regulations for Small Wind Energy Systems. The proposed additional language is substantially the same as the language proposed in April 2009 regarding Small systems. This amendment was reviewed by the Economic Development Committee September 1, 2009 and included on the September 8, 2009 City Council agenda for a First Reading. Attached to this report is the draft ordinance for final consideration along with the 'redline' draft presented at the First Reading September 8, 2009. Following the September 8, 2009 First Reading, staff has received the following suggestions from Al Green along with staff comments in italicized font: 1. 10-16-4-8: the phrase "a tower" is repeated. It's not clear if another word was intended, or this is just a typo. This was a tvpo and has been removed. 2. 10-16-4-13: the definition should also say"more than IOKw" to avoid any confusion with rooftop systems. It is possible that a.small.systeln have a rated capacity of less than I(1W so staff recolnrnends not changing the definition. 3. 10-16-5-A-d: It's not clear if the renewal permit would be subject to the same fees as the original permit, or some lesser amount. The fees are to be collected `rrt time of application',for both Rooftop and Srnall systems. So, there were not he a fee lbr renewals as this or'dInance is written. City Council stay wish to consider a fee fa•renewals. A reduced rateffi•orn the original permit fee would be appropriate based on the reduced amount of time necessary fir.staff to review a renewal than an original permit application. Strtf recornmends $25 renetival for both Rooftop (perrrtit cost is $100) and Small (permit cost is$150)systems. 4. 10-16-5-F: The word "attached" is only appropriate for the rooftop systems. A more general statement is needed. Staff reconiniends that this pl-OVW017 be removed.fi•ont General Provisions and a Design provision he added to hotly the Rooftop and the Small System sections. The rooftop 1 .sectlol2 p!'ol'lSlol!Should read as !t rs citi-i-'17t1V stctted. The Shull Svsterlt provision should state "Srnall mind Enelgv Svstenis and associated tower shall he a non-rgflecti ,e color. " 5. 10-16-5-G: Delete the phrase "or unused". It is too vague and could be miscontrued. There are any number of valid reasons for a system to be unused for a period of time without being considered a problem. Staff agrees with this.suggestion. 2 September 10, 2009 Ordinance No. 2009- AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY, ILLINOIS, PROVIDING FOR THE REGULATION OF WIND ENERGY SYSTEMS WHEREAS, the United City of Yorkville (the "City") is a duly organized and validly existing non-home-rule municipality created in accordance with Article VII, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970; and, WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council deem it necessary to provide for the regulation of wind energy systems in order to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the City's residents.
