Presentation: None Minutes for Correction/Approval: May 4, 2009 The minutes were approved as read. New Business: 1. EDC 2009-21 Building Permit Report for April 2009 Alderman Sutcliff asked if the figures represented multi-family, 2-family and single family housing. Mr. McLaughlin said it did include all these. 2. EDC 2009-22 Plan Commission Report for May 2009 Travis said he had been working with the petitioner, Alan Haehner and there will be a recommendation from Plan Commission next week. 3. EDC 2009-23 Committee Liaison Appointments The following liaison appointments were made: 1. Chairman Golinski said he is the current liaison to the Aurora Area Visitors Bureau, but is unable to attend the Sam meetings. Alderman Sutcliff volunteered to attend when possible. 2. Mr. Golinski will act as an alternate for Mayor Burd for the YEDC meetings on Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:00pm. Page 2 of 5 3. Kendall County Plan Commission—Alderman Werderich 4. Yorkville Plan Commission—Alderman Golinski 4. EDC 2009-24 Future Meeting Dates and Times-Discussion It was agreed to keep this meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at 7pm. S. EDC 2009-25 Bridge Street Plaza Redevelopment/TIF Agreement Discussion Discussed later in the meeting. Items Recommended by Plan Commission for Approval: I. PC 2009-08 Apex Developers, LLC(Fountainview)Annexation Agreement Amendment Request Attorney Kramer was present on behalf of the petitioners, along with representatives of Apex Developers and Car Care Collision Centers. The petitioners are requesting to build a car care center on the east side of South Rte. 47. A positive recommendation was received from the Plan Commission. Alderman Sutcliff questioned the runoff from the property since there would be many cars there. A detention basin is located on the north side of the property and is a triple basin with a triple set of filters to handle runoff. The outdoor stormwater is a 2-stage release process. Travis noted that this item had been presented for rezoning at a Public Hearing before the Plan Commission. At the June 9th Council meeting, there will be a Public Hearing for the amendment portion. Mr. Miller said only one resident had any objections and that was for paint fumes in the air. Mr. Mahoney responded by saying that water based paints will be used in this facility. Mr. Dean Fisher of CarStar then voiced his opinion regarding the proposed business. He said he has been in business for 14 years at his current location. He was concerned that a similar business, would not add jobs to the market, but rather"cannibalize" the jobs. He said this type of business is not an impulse buy and is now under capacity with not enough work for 2 businesses. He said other businesses like this are down 20% at this time. He asked the City to protect current businesses. Mr. Fisher said he would prepare data and send to each Aldermen. 2. PC 2009-09 Zoning Ordinance Amendment– Chapter 15, Section 6.B, (Tower &Antenna Regulations) Travis Miller said the Zoning Ordinance is being reviewed and recommendations will be coming later this year. An increase in wireless users led to this amendment. Currently there are 3 towers in the City and others within the 1.5 mile area of the City. A petitioner is seeking to install a new antenna and also an equipment shelter. One item of the ordinance states that a 50-foot setback requirement must be met. As a result, the petitioner filed a variance request. After consulting with the City Administrator and Attorney, the City will not treat this as a new location requiring a variance. The Plan Page 3 of 5 Commission has recommended approval of the text amendment as presented. This will move to the City Council consent agenda. (out of sequence) New Business 5. EDC 2009-25 Bridge Street Plaza Redevelopment l TIF Agreement Discussion Travis reported that the owners of the old hotel and bank building at the northwest corner of Hydraulic and Rt. 47 will demolish the buildings. While they are not developers, they might partner with developers to decide on a better use of the property. They purchased the property a year ago to eliminate problems there and are open to a redevelopment agreement. The demolition costs are estimated at $100,000 and are TIF-eligible. The owners have agreed to give the City a walkway along the river. Travis said there a couple ways to enter into a development agreement with the present owners: 1. Enter into a re-development agreement that establishes a trigger of the submittal or approval of a plan in a certain time frame. 2. Inducement resolution: City Council acknowledges demolition is going to occur prior to a re-development plan being submitted. The City can include the demolition expenses as part of TIF rebates Alderman Werderich said he would Iike a timeline for this project if the owners ask the City for TIF money. He also suggested some sort of incentive to keep the project moving. Travis said an asbestos report would be needed before the building is demolished and July or August is the expected demolition time. Alderman Spears also commented that she does not want to see another site like Countryside The property will be filled in and seeded or it would possibly be used for parking according to Mayor Burd. It was noted that the Tuscan Plaza site (across the street) is in foreclosure with a lien against it from a former contractor. This item will move to the next EDC meeting for further discussion. Old Business: 1. EDC 2009-17 Ordinance Amending the Code of Ordinances Providing for the Regulation of Signs A recap of the unfinished business regarding signs was given by Travis. It was noted that the committee had decided that no lettering should be allowed on the wind feathers. Fees were also going to be discussed. Travis also noted confusion on trailer signs. He said on page $, section I—trailer signs - language was added that states "except directional ...signs". Wind feathers are exempt from this chapter, if they are made of certain material and have no text or logos. If they have logos, they are considered a sign. The renewal fee for the feathers is $5.00, after the initial cost of$25. Alderman Gilson said the unmarked feathers have no regulations, but can become untidy. He has no issues with allowing logos on the feathers. The committee also discussed regulating the unmarked feathers the same as marked ones. After a brief discussion, it was decided to move this item to the City Council consent agenda. Page 4 of 5 2. PC 2009-01 Ordinance Amending the Code of Ordinances Providing for the Regulation of Wind Energy Systems Alderman Gilson had several concerns about various parts of the ordinance. Those included: 1. Section for permitting should include language for"cost of staff and remediation, but not limited to...". (Travis said that"any and all enforcement costs" already covers this. Golinski asked if the City would require the owner to sign an acknowledgement form. 2. Concern for possible fire danger if unit falls down, also concern for possible noise if not maintained 3. Wants to make sure the City is covered in all aspects of liability and regulation/enforcement 4. What are the codes and regulations and are they sufficient(from Page 2, "B"). Travis has spoken with Bill Dettmer regarding the structure mountings, height limitations, etc. 5. How does the IBC (International Building Codes) approach mountings and are they applicable to wind systems b. Do all rooftop systems have Underwriter Laboratory approval? (Mayor Burd commented that Metra West is forming a task force to research wind energy systems and asked the City to share their information when finished with the ordinance). 7. Disagrees with lifting of annual inspections 8. Suggested City set a standard for maintenance. Travis said the IBC includes standards for the structure, however, George said it does not cover the maintenance. He added the devices purchased from internet companies would not include maintenance. 9. Concern for paint problems, color,broken propellers, repair, risks (Mayor compared these concerns to similar problems with a home). Alderman Sutcliff said the City cannot micro-manage. Alderman Golinski said the units only make about $30 of electricity with a charge of$100 for a permit. Mayor Burd said citizens have a right to their personal property. 10. Need time limit for restoration--one month (committee approved of this time) 11. Possible increase in permit fees 12. Ordinance needs to include language stating"system must be from reputable manufacturers or approved equal" and specify type of materials and manufacturer as a way to regulate systems. Alderman Werderich suggested the attorney review this language. Mayor Burd commented that Attorney Orr said specific manufacturers could not be named in the ordinance. In conclusion, revisions will be made and there will be a first reading at the next meeting. 3. EDC 2009-07 "Sloop Yorkville"— Update Glory Spies presented a Power Point update of this campaign. Some of the comments were: 1. Chairman Golinski suggested a logo contest, merchant could donate a gift card as a prize 2. Mayor Burd suggested shopping bags (no plastic) with logos 3. Sales tax benefit info was included on the website and where the money is used 4. Glory will email the link to each Alderman for their review Page 5 of 5 5. Businesses can register on line to be included on website 6. Show faces of more Yorkville residents on presentation 7. Include list of restaurants 8. Glory will place logo on Green Committee agenda for discussion at June 15"' meeting 9. Be cautious about being fair to all businesses 10. Glory will include census information 11. Use common language that demonstrates how campaign will benefit citizens 12. Present"features" on certain businesses and rotate those featured on site Additional Business: Alderman Spears asked about the Westbury Development signs on Rt. 47 and said they are faded and unattractive. Travis said Bill Dettmer has been inspecting the signs. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 9:13pm.

MI - 1 � Oo The ITP process consisted of a detailed data collection and analysis stage, followed by concept development. One of the primary goals of the ITP project was to develop a sense of what the general public desires with respect to bicycling and walking. Through the creation of a Task Force committee, survey data collection and public input meetings, valuable information was collected to help to shape the project's vision, goals and objectives for the project. During the planning process, goals and objec- tives were finalized, existing and proposed trail corridors were created and analyzed,design standards were deter- mined, and priorities were identified.

The ITP proposes street lighting solu- tions that are designed to pedestrian scales, with shorter light poles and attractive fixtures. This lighting method should be effective in illuminating the pedestrian travel way, but not obtrusive or harsh aesthetically. The street and pedestrian lights should minimize light projecting into the sky. The current street lights project light upward, creating light pollution, which can be amended with a special cap.

Street trees, planting strips, street furniture, bollards, signal poles, signals, electrical, tele- phone and traffic signal cabinets, signs,fire hydrants and bicycle racks should be consolidated in this zone, to keep them from becoming obstacles to pedestrians. The plant- ing/amenity zone should have a minimum width of three (3') feet in narrow road sections. A more comfortable and, therefore, desirable dimension is eight (8') feet for the planting/amenity zone. 4) Edge Zone The edge zone (sometimes called obstruction free zone) provides an interface between parked vehicles and street furniture. This zone should,generally, be kept clear of any objects. Parking meters or other small vertical features may be placed here with consideration to door swings. The edge zone should have a minimum width of one (1') foot, preferably two (2')feet. Often existing conditions do not allow the appropri- ate amount of space for all of the pedestrian zones. Therefore, Options A, B, C, and D are provided below for reference, and each street or area should be studied in detail and planned on a case-by-case basis, depending on available space.

Crossing Illinois Route 47 at Van Emmon and Hydraulic is a significant constraint, as pedestrian crossings will need to be clearly identified for the pedes- ff5LItrian and the automobile user. Also, the east and west a � ' , sides of Route 47 are very narrow and with the elimination of parking and widened lanes the pedestrian environment is challenged. To accommodate the negative factors, as i part of this ITP project, Yorkville and IDOT are pursuing 1:5 1.5' solutions to these impacts. Currently a wall/raised planter -- bed is being proposed along the west side of Route 47 along with decorative fencing. The ITP recommends that this wall be faced with materials that match the theme Based upon the understood pedestrian zones de- for signage and wayfinding (see Exhibits `H'-Theme and scribed above, the ITP suggests future improvements Character Vision and `I' - Gateways and Wayfinding to specific streets in downtown Yorkville.

Location, species and treatment of street trees in an urban environment differs from a more non-urban environment. The absence of a cohesive and k• consistent street tree program in downtown Yorkville provides a great opportunity to improve the look and feel of the area. Parkway trees, for example, frame the street, provide shade for pedestrians, and help soften tall walls and buildings. Listed below are recommendations regarding landscaping in downtown Yorkville.

This is highly encouraged, to provide interest and aesthetic improvements, as well as creating a cohesive look throughout the downtown. Planters and hanging baskets should not infringe upon pedestrian and bicycle access to sidewalks or trails. Foundation Plantings and Wall Expanses Adding landscaping (low growing shrubs, perennials, an- nuals and groundcover)along the foundation of the build- ing is encouraged. Large wall expanses can (and should be) interrupted with foundation plantings, such as shrubs and trees. Trellises and arbors are also recommended, as they soften expansive walls that are, typically, visually obtrusive. Decorative Elements •4rq - 44 Decorative elements such as signage, benches, trash receptacles, bollards, street lighting, banners, bike racks, tree grates, fencing, crosswalk paving and hardscape treatments can enhance an area's pedestrian environ- ment and commercial viability. These streetscape ele- ments will help to identify downtown Yorkville as a special and distinct place for visitors, residents, and shoppers. As mentioned in the data collection section of this report some elements exist of mixed colors, textures and forms. Some of the street furniture is deteriorated or in poor con- dition. Lastly, certain elements are not at an appropriate scale for the space.

Roadway Designations on Selected Routes E: Striped/Marked Bike Lane Not Recommended Consider detached shared use trail. Pursue additional Potential Bike Lane/Shared Roadway Routes right-of-way/easement acquisition, if needed. (On Road Facility) In order to realize some immediate improvements to the trail system, and to explore cost saving techniques, bike lane (on road) facilities were examined on selected cor- ridors. In some cases, bike lanes make the most sense, given the location and low traffic volumes. Below are some advantages and justifications for bike lanes and on road trail facilities: • Collector roads or arterial roads do not typically have parking and have minimal driveways,therefore reduc- ing the cross conflict areas • Avid or more experienced rider prefers being on the road and are comfortable in a bike lane situation • Bike lanes and adding signage and markings are fairly cost-effective, especially as part of a road re- surfacing program or re-construction project The project team examined multiple corridors that may be good candidates for these types of trail facilities. The "type"A, B, C, D or E is a designation intended to cat- egorize the various situations and potential trail facilities that may be feasible. For a graphic representation of the proposed corridors (see Exhibit 'L'—Potential Bike Lane/ Shared Roadway Routes). A: Striped/Marked Bike Lane (On-Street) Recommended Few impacts or minimal cost implications. Short-term improvement can result in benefits, with minimal cost. B: Wide Shoulder Recommended At time of re-surfacing or improvements, widened shoul- der should be added by making the road wider. C: Striped/Marked Bike Lane (On-Street) Possible May incur higher costs or impacts, due to existing constraints. May need road re- work, right-of-way/easements acquired, or parking eliminated on at least one side.

This method of financing should be re- be a combination of grants substantially matched by City viewed, to determine whether changes are needed to the funds and business and/or property owner contributions. boundaries, objectives, projects and budget. The City and Economic Development Corporation should review the feasibility of these programs as well as State Special Service Area and Federal funding. An SSA is a state authorized financing program that can be administered by the City that provides financing re- sources for a specific area. It is funded through a special tax assessment paid by property owners in a designated area. An SSA is initiated by property and business owners wanting certain services above those already provided by the Village or other services not provided such as advertising, marketing, parking, loan programs, capital improvements, and maintenance. A group of contiguous property owners vote to form an SSA consisting of all properties that will benefit from the services, and elect to levy an additional property tax to pay for the services. If approved by the City Council, the tax will be levied and distributed to the SSA on an annual basis. Business Improvement District A BID is a tool to coordinate, manage and redevelop downtown as it allows a host of strong municipal powers for bonding, condemnation, and the like. There are many benefits of BID's. For example they are very versatile in using its powers and funds for a wider range of initiatives and activities than are available under an SSA. A BID may be an effective tool for the City and should be further investigated. Capital Improvement Programming Funding sources through the Capital Improvement budget should be pursued to finance the Downtown Plan and Streetscape Plan. Since capital improvements will likely need to be phased based on funding availability, the City should develop a list of projects and prioritize them as mentioned previously. Some forms of financing improvements for the downtown have been put in place and additional revenue streams will be necessary in the future. In general, the most successful street improvement proj- ects result from cooperative public/private effort. Direct benefits of the street improvements will fall to the downtown business community, therefore sharing of organizational and fiscal responsibility is recommended.The overall suc- cessfully upgrading of downtown Yorkville's streetscape will require significant funds and directing the appropriate Transportation Yorkville Integrated -.

We are in receipt of your letter dated, May 15, 2009 regarding the fees due to the United City of Yorkville and the expiration of the fee lock associated with the subdivision. In response, we ask that the City to consider the following: 1 . Plgn Review Fees iii the amount 9f �3,750.39. These fees were paid shortly after receipt of your letter; 2 . br_iatol Kendall Fire Department Development Fpe and Yorkville Public Library Development Fee. The Developer requests that they be granted an extension of the lump sum payment obligation for a period of two (2) years from the date of this letter. The real estate market has been decimated. The lack of ;gales and income intakes the payment of these fees at this time impossible. Although the payments cannot be made at this time, both the Fire Department and Library District are fully protected. As you know, payment of the fees are required prior to the issuance of building permits . This is the traditional mechanism used by municipalities in the region as the impact on the districts does not occur until the homes are built and occupied. Consequently, the extension will not increase the risk faced by the Fire Department and Library District; and ins. Travis Miller June 11, 2009 Page Two 3 . Expiration of Pee Structure Lock. The Developer also respectfully requests that the fee lock be extended for an additional four (4) years. Due to the collapse of the real estate market, the Developer has had to cut costs and pricing dramatically. Even with drastic cuts, sales have been non-existent . An increase in the fees and costs at this time would exacerbate the problem and reduce the marketability of the lots. in the subdivision even further. Under these conditions, we believe that the City should consider the opposite approach and look into the possibility of reducing fees in the short term in order to stimulate the market. As I am sure you recall, the Developer was always willing to work with the village in the past. We hope that these past efforts and cooperation will be remembered. Unfortunately, we are faced with an unprecedented time in the real estate market and the City' s cooperation is crucial in order to make this a viable development. Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this matter.

ComED has been very willing to work with our attorney's recommendations for alterations to their standard lease agreement. The lease agreement has been reviewed and approved by both our City attorney and ComED's attorney. The City will be required to apply for tax exempt status for the parcels once the lease is recorded. A one time fee of 51,500 will be paid to ComED for the 20 year lease period. Our insurance policy will cover the parcels once we enter into the lease agreement, and construction of the trail will be covered by the contractor's insurance. The lease agreement can be extended for 10 year periods at the end of each lease term. ComED does not have to notify the tenant if they sell the property, therefore, the attorneys have agreed that a memorandum of recordation is appropriate so that any future property owner would be aware of the City's use and existing lease agreement of the parcels for a shared-use trail.

Memorandum To: EDC Wr. �— 7636 From. Travis Miller 11 CC: Lisa Pickering (for distribution) '" Date: June 30, 2009 E� '? Subject: PC 2009—05 Haehner (Annexation and Zoning) IL-L Backeround: This annexation petition is a result of a November 2008 request made by the City for the property owner to consider annexation. This property is located between the City current corporate boundary and other properties which have pre-annexation agreements recorded, including Yorkville South and Yorkshire Estates. The Plan Commission conducted a public hearing May 13, 2009 regarding this annexation and rezoning. The Plan Commission noted concerns related to density. The Commission discussed R-2 zoning and generally agreed that R-2 without limitations on the amount of residential units was not appropriate.however, agreed with the petitioner's attorney that 230 units, based on the Comprehensive Plan land Use recommendation, may be too limiting. The Plan Commission requested the petitioner and staff work to determine an appropriate compromise on the density and return in June for consideration. On June 10,2009 the Plan Commission recommended approval of the annexation and recommended R-2 zoning with a cap of 300 units subject to staff comments (noted below)with a vote of 6 ayes and 1 nay. Comprehensive Plan Recommendations for Property The 2008 Comprehensive Plan recommends Suburban Neighborhood, Estate Neighborhood,and ParkslOpcn Space land uses for the subject parcel. The Comprehensive Plan defines Suburban Neighborhood as, "...intended to be a residential area primarily comprised oj'single family detached residences. They Suburban Neighborhood laird use.seekv to presence existing developed areas at this density and to create nov loxver-density environments characterized by intimate neighborhoodLs and residences vf'distinctive design...Gross density in this clas:sificalion should be betireen 1.5 and 2.25 dtir,elling units per acre_ " The Comprehensive Plan defines Estate Neighborhood as, intended to provide areus for loin-density detached single-family residences. The Estate Neighborhood is characterized by substantial open spaces along roadwgys and beNven properties...Gross densit},in Estate Neighborhood areas should he less than 1.75 dwelling units Per acre. ' The Comprehensive Plan defines Park/Open Space as, "...intended to prese)i1e existing public open spaces.... while identifying em�ironmentally sensitive areas to establish appropriate locations.for new designated open spaces. - Staff Comments/Recommendations: • The petitioner is requesting R-2 One Family Residence District zoning for the subject property. Density in R-2 zoned areas is not to exceed 3.3 dwelling units/acre(if the property is serviced by public sewer and water). o Maximum Unit Count for Subject Property(t20 acres) ■ R-2 Zoning=396 units (calculated with 12,000 sgft lots or 33 du/acre and not accounting for streets) ■ R-1 Zoning=291 units (calculated with 18,000 sgft lots or 2.42 du/acre and not accounting for streets) Note:R-1 would be the zoning vfthe annefxedproper(y without a zoning change per Zoning Ordinance 10-4-5) ■ Suburban Neighborhood-2.25 dulacre (40 acre western portion of property) =90 units ■ Estate Neighborhood-- 1.75 du/acre(80 acre eastem portion of property) _ 140 units • Staff recommends R-2 Zoning for the subject property given the Comprehensive Plan recommendations for residential use and 12,000 square foot lot sizes are appropriate. However, due to the Comprehensive Plan density recommendations(230 units) being less than what R-2 would yield for the property(396 units), staff suggests requiring a cap on the amount of residential units be a provision of the annexation agreement. A cap of 300 units is recommended based on rounding up the R-1 allowance of 291. • The subject property is located in the Aux Sable Creek Watershed, specifically the Mid Aux. Sable Creek sub-watershed. Future development of the subject property should incorporate the guidelines established by the Aux Sable Creek Watershed Plan completed by the Conservation Foundation. Specifically, future development should incorporate stormwater management best practices which are encouraged by the plan. Staff also encourages the current agricultural practices on the property to follow the recommendations of the Aux Sable Creek Watershed Plan as well. bttp://www.auxsablecreekwatershed.or-L,r/ Annexation,Agreement: City commitments: - Rebate to owner the real estate tax for the City tax and Library tax until the approval of a final plat of subdivision occurs. - Waiver of application fees for the annexation and initial zoning. - Waive 1 residential water hook up fee for the subject property. - Waive l residential sanitary connection fee for the subject property. Owner a libations: - provide all development fees and contributions to the City per al[current City policies (described by Exhibit D of proposed agreement) at the time of development. - Pay any recaptures due to the Yorkville South and/or Windett Ridge developers - Develop the property in compliance with all City codes and regulations.

The Corporate Authorities hereby waive any requirements under existing City ordinances for the payment of any fees for the initial re-zoning of the Subject Property. 5. City hereby waives any requirement under existing City ordinances that would compel Owner to pay any fee and/or to donate any land pursuant to the school district land cash ordinance and the land cash ordinance for City park purposes at the time of annexation, provided, however, that for each portion of the Subject Property that is included in an approved Final Plat of Subdivision, upon such approval the school district land cash ordinance and the land cash ordinance for City park purposes shall apply. 6.

B. Non-Special Service Area Financing. In the event that the sanitary sewer and potable water facilities are not financed through a special service area, DEVELOPER agrees to prepay all City Water Connection Fees of$3,700 per single family unit and City Water Connection Fees of$3,171 per multi-fan,ly unit and the City Sewer Connection Fees ($2,000/dwelling unit) so that the CITY will have the funds to construct facilities necessary to supply potable water and sanitary sewer to the SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SANITARY SEWER,1lIdPROVENIRWS. The approximate locations of the infrastructure improvements for sanitary sewer are illustrated in ExhLbit Fla and described as Option #2 in Exhibit F1b on pages 5-8 and summarized on page 9. Improvements identified within these exhibits shall be funded as specified below and in Sections 5A and B of this Agreement. 1hesc improvements require the DEVELOPER to provide upfront funding in the amount of 58,906,175 (the total Phase 1 and 3 improvement costs as identified on Page 9 of Exhibit Flb plus a 15% contingency for soft costs). This eontnbution exceeds the required City Sanitary Connection Fees for the SUBJECT PROPERTY (which is $2,854,000 ($2,000 x 1,427 units)) and the total required IPF Fccs for the SUBJECT PROPERTY (which is $2,6671,152 ($3,660 x 8 EXHIBIT E 728.73 acres))by$3,385,023. In recognition of the regional benefits of these improvements,the DEVELOPER shall be entitled to fully recover this excess upfront contribution (currently estimated at 53,385,023) from future developments. Through the amiexation agreement process, the CITY agrees to require future development located within the benefiting service area (as identified on Exhibit Flc) to prepay all required City Sanitary Connection Fees in full at the time of approval of the first final subdivision plat on any property covered in said annexation agreement (a concept plan, preliminary plan or an estimate based on the City's comprehensive plan shall be utilized to determine the total units anticipated on any property if the first final plat Only covers a portion of the subject property—i.e. if only 100 acres of a 1,000 acre assemblage is final platted, the city sanitary connection fees must still be prepaid for the entire 1,00o acre assemblage based on a planned density estimate for the balance of the proparty) or upon use of said improvements,whichever occurs fast, and to forward said fimds to the DEVELOPER until R recovery in an amount equal to the excess fimding has been provided. In the event the C1Ty collects fees from future development in advance of the DEVELOPER's expenditures for mid improvements, the CITY shall `bank" said fees to be utilized towards planned expenditures indearti ied in Exhibit FXb at the time of construction, Once the DEVELOPER is fully reimbursed for excess funding provided and/or the "bank' contains adequate funds to cover the remaining expenditures as contemplated by Exhibit F1 b, the MY shell be entitled to retain any future pre-paid Sanitary Sewer Connection Fees from the service area (Exhibit Flo) in order to recover their re-allocation of Sanitary Connection Fees towards these improvements. A. U i ' —The DEVELOPER has worked with the CITY Pad YBSD to identify a scalable utility plan for the sanitary sewer system in this portion of the CITY that is agreeable to all Parties. This solution is represented as Option ##2 in Exhibit Flb on pages 5-8 and summarized on page 9 It is the goal of all parties to see this plan,realized, However,in the event that despite the best efforts of all parties this sanitary system plan is unable to proceed due to circumstances outside the control of the DEVELOPER within twenty four(24)months 5nm the date of this Agreement(i.e. necessary easements can not be secured to the satisfaction of yBSD and/or the CrM, the DEVELOPER shall be authorized, but not obligated, to proceed with the construction of the sanitary improvements as identified in Sections 6B-C of this Agreement (subject to engineering review) at their sole expense w an alternative to planned regional 9 EXHIBIT E improvements. Tbo DEVELOPER would not receive any credits from the CITY and/or YBSD for a temporary solution that is only able to service the SUBJECT PROPERTY, B. Lift Stations — In the event that the YBSD sanitary plan is not implemented (as discussed above), the QTY shall allow DEVELOPER to engineer, construct, and utilize two temporary lift stations on the SUBJECT PROPERTY of adequate capacity to service the SUBJECT PROPERTY. One lift station, would be located south of NH 5 near the Aux Sable Creek to serve the property north of Walker Road. This lift station can be upgraded to sarvioe the second lift station which will be located along Caton Farm Road to serve the development between Walker and Caton Farm Roads. The CITY shall allow the DEVELOPER to construct said lift stations subject to engineering review. Both of the temporary lift station facilities shell be operated by the CITY at DEVELOPER'S expense until seventy (70) percent build out of the residential portion of the SUBJECT PROPERTY. After seventy percent build out the temporary lift stations shall be considered long term facilities and shall be operated at the CITY's expense, In the event that either of the lift stations are abandoned prior to seventy percent build out of the residential portion of the SUBJECT PROPERTY, the DEVELOPER shall remove said lift stations at their own expense. If any of these facilities are abandoned after seventy percent build out, removal shall be done by the CITY at the CITY's expense. C.Sanitary Sewer—The ultimate concept plan for the Aux Sable/Caton Farm interceptor sewer prepared by Walter E. Deuchler Associates for the Yorkville-Bristol Sanitary District (YBSD) calls for a 24" gravity sewer to be extended from its existing location, south approximately 1,600 linear feet, across the Windett Reserve Subdivision. If the CFTY and/or DEVELOPER are able to obtain an exclusive easement for the installation of the gravity sewer from Wiseman Hughes, a 24" gravity sewer shall be oanstructed. However,if the MY and/or DEVELOPER is unable to acquire an exclusive easement that can be dedicated to YSBD for the installation of the 24" gravity sanitary sewer, the YBSD sanitary plan will not be implemented (as discussed above). In this case, the DEVELOPER will construct a I O"force main in this same location(1,600 linear feet across the Towns of Windett Reserve Subdivision)to provide sanitary sewer service to the SUBJECT PROPERTY. The CITY shall allow the DEVELOPER to construct and operate said force main subject to engineering review. Furth amore, the CITY 10 EXHIBIT E shall allow the DEVELOPER to place the temporary force main in any off-site easements and/or the ComEd easement in order to service the SUBJECT PROPERTY, subject to engineering approval. It despite using their best efforts, the DEVELOPER is unable to obtain an off-site easement as referenced above, the CITY will not object to the DEVELOPER utilizing the existing Route 47 right-of-way to service the SUBJECT PROPERTY provided MOT concurs. If rewired,this 1 W'force mein shall be funded by the DEVELOPER at their sole expense. If the YBSD sanitary plan is not implemented, the DEVELOPER ahall also be allowed to construct a 10" force main from the ending point of either the 24" gravity sewer or 10" force main described above to the SUBJECT PROPERTY along Route 47 to service the SUBJECT PROPERTY. This improvement shall also be funded by the DEVELOPER at their sole expose. In the event that the force main is abandoned prior to seventy pareent build out of the residential portion of the SUBJECT PROPERTY, the DEVELOPER shall remove all contents within, cap and plug said improvement and abandon said improvement in place in accordance with all pertinent regulations and sound engineering practice at its own expense. If ibis improvement is abandoned after seventy percent build out of the residential portion of the SUBJECT PROPERTY, abandonment shall be done by the CITY at the CITY's expense. D. Ca city-The CITY, due to a possible lack of sanitary sewer plant capacity, agrees to use their best efforts in managing development approvals and building permit approvals in a mariner that would not be detrimental to the sanitary sewer capacity and YBSD waste water treatment plant capacity that is available to the SUBJECT PROPERTY. E. Ovamizing — In the event the DEVELOPER oveslzes the onsite sanitary sewer to serve additional land area outside of the SUBJECT PROPERTY; the improvement shall be eligible for recapture. The total cost(including design)of the sanitary sewer improvement which benefits offlite properties will be recovered from benefiting properties (per Ezhiblt Fld) through recapture based on a pro-rate share using an acreage basis which will be paid at the time of final plat approval. This recapture agreement would be entered into at the time of final plat approval. F. YBSD Easements--The DEVELOPER will grant easements to YBSD to allow for the construction of the Aux Sable/Caton Farm interceptor sewer along the Aux Sable Creek. The total width of the permanent easement will be determined at the time of final platting with input 11 EXHIBIT E from YBSD. The DEVELOPER also agrees to provide a temporary construction easement adjacent to the permanent sanitary easement not to exceed a total of 100 feet in width. 7. WATER IMPROVEMENTS.

He welcomed all for attending. Stephanie Boettcher called role. All members of the commission were in attendance. The commission then reviewed the minutes from the April 29, 2009 meeting. The minutes were approved with no corrections. Travis Miller went over the follow up items from the April meeting. He first presented a memo prepared by staff in which a word search was done of all of the words in the definitions chapter. These items will be cleaned up through the update process. Miller also presented information from the IEPA in regards to transfer stations in which the regulations eliminates local zoning authority for transfer stations and landfill applications. Miller noted that IEPA information states that recycling centers are not transfer stations and there is local zoning authority for recycling centers. Pete Huinker clarified that there are no additional local restrictions, such as setbacks, which can be placed on these types of facilities. Miller explained that there is local authority in the siting process for pollution control facilities, but not zoning authority. The tool for placing additional regulations is the Kendall County Solid Waste Plan which is currently being updated. Al Green pointed out page 4 of the IEPA brochure which defines a pollution control facility, as it also lists facilities which are not controlled by the IEPA and are subject to local restrictions. Green noted that these should be addressed in the zoning ordinance. Miller confirmed that these will be defined and included as the ordinance is updated. Miller then went through the memo prepared about use-oriented districts. This idea came from the discussion as part of the comprehensive plan. The memo lists all of the potential districts and provides a brief explanation of them. Staff is looking for direction from the commission. Miller explained that all, none or some of these districts might make sense. A pro and con list was also prepared about the development of districts. Miller explained that a positive would be that the city's intentions would be very clear, but it can be limiting and the City would have to be confident it is feasible and desirable. Jeff Baker stated that business should dictate this. Crouch questioned what if a petition came in that didn't fit with the district? Would it not be allowed? Miller explained that in the most restrictive case the petitioner would have to request for a rezoning to allow for the use; however the commission is beginning with a blank slate so they could determine how this could be handled. Crouch said that he was not in favor in requiring the rezoning of property. Gary Neyer thought that districts take away a lot of options for property owners and that he was in favor of placing the least restrictive requirements on the property owner. Phil Haugen commented that districts did make sense; however they typically happen naturally. Greg Millen also explained that mixing uses works very well. He used the example of shared parking between an office and church, in which the church would use the spaces in the off peak times. Neyer also commented that things change in the market and if these districts were put into the ordinance it would make it difficult to amend. There needs to be flexibility. Crouch agreed that being flexible allows for the best use of the property, and that he was more comfortable with restricting uses on a case by case basis. Green commented that there were advantages to living in an area with districts and that he personally lived in areas, such as Woodlands, TX and Singapore, which used this method. He thought there were some potential districts which would be good to have, such as a downtown district. Baker commented that he had concern about traffic congestion as the result of these districts. Miller mentioned that the downtown district was indeed a good example, particularly since a mix of uses is not allowed within a building in the current zoning ordinance. Baker stated that it was legal to have an apartment above a first floor business. Anna Kurtzman clarified that apartments were allowed above a business however the zoning ordinance restricts the number of apartments to the number of businesses on the first floor. The current ratio is 2 apartments per 1 business within a business building. Kurtzman noted that this can be limiting with a three story building. Baker thought it was important to keep the availability of apartments above businesses as it helps the business owner financially. Miller also explained that apartments on the second floor are a special use and not a permitted use. Neyer thought it would be best to accomplish this objective via other means than a district, which is seen as additional restrictions. Green asked for an explanation of an overlay district. Boettcher explained that the overlay district adds additional restrictions to an area above the base zoning. Miller also explained that these restrictions not always address use but can add architectural standards. Pfister asked couldn't this just be handled through covenants? Kurtzman explained that covenants are decided by a property owners association, not the City, so they can only be enforced by the property owners association. Ralph Pfister asked if there are time limits on covenants. Miller explained that they are deed restrictions and would be perpetual; however could write in a time limit into the covenant. The discussion returned to a downtown district as Baker agreed there were some districts which needed to be address, specifically mentioning downtown and historic districts. Millen thought that it made economic sense to have an apartment above a business and that it could encourage businesses to locate downtown. He also mentioned that it was traditional to have owner- occupied businesses (apartments above businesses). Pfister brought up that there are safety issues with the apartments above a business, mentioning ingress and egress concerns. Crouch though it was a way to encourage business to develop downtown. Huinker asked what staff was looking for. Miller stated that they would like direction from this meeting on which districts to further research. Crouch then went through the list of potential districts, one by one, with the commission. Neyer still felt it was best to provide the greatest variety of uses and that the only way he was supportive of a district if it eliminated the need for special uses and still provided the greatest variety of uses. Medical, entertainment, town center, office/research/development, cultural, age-restrictive residential, recreation, civic districts were not supported by the commission. Baker thought a downtown district was appropriate and that it could be incorporated into a historic district. That it would not only include businesses,but also the historic homes in the area as well. Huinker also mentioned that overlay districts could relax standards such as landscaping or parking as well. Crouch felt the properties along the river will redevelop as condos, etc in order to take advantage of the views of the river. Crouch also thought that parking will also become an increasing issue in the downtown, and a parking garage will be a great solution. Miller asked how or if the commission wanted to preserve or mimic, in redevelopment projects, the historic architecture. Crouch thought it would be best to preserve as much as possible. Huinker commented that the challenge is defining what is historic. Miller mentioned that this could include a materials list and the ordinance could require the preservation or enhancement of buildings. Kurtzman suggested that opposed to defining what was permitted it might be better to list what not to do. Millen also mentioned that accessibility is an issue with historic structures. Huinker asked if the comprehensive plan recommended certain areas for specific types of development. Miller commented that the comprehensive plan suggests commercial development in the form of nodes and the zoning ordinance would be a way to implement this. Boettcher said that the comprehensive plan did not include a location map for the suggested districts. Haugen asked how a community can limit strip center development. The design guidelines which were recently adopted by City Council are a way to accomplish this. Boettcher also pointed out limiting access points could also help achieve this. Baker asked about cross access easements and felt that they should be include in the zoning ordinance. Miller said staff would look into where cross access easements would be best addressed. Crouch then brought up a historic district. He mentioned that these types of districts could be over the top and that the City needs to be careful of what obligations they are placing onto a property owner. Given that, Crouch still felt this type of district needed to be reviewed. Green asked if a location was determined for this district. Boettcher replied that staff had not yet determined the location, but would develop a district map for the next meeting. Crouch then brought up the potential Route 47 district, which many properties have requested rezoning from commercial to residential, but kept the residential structure for the business. Miller explained that this district would allow for adaptive reuse of the residential structures for commercial uses. Crouch questioned what that area would look like once Route 47 was widened. He mentioned that parking would definitely be an issue for these properties along with traffic. Green thought it would be a good idea in order to maintain the character that is there and limit strip development. Crouch questioned if these building were something worth preserving. He commented that houses do not lend themselves as a business. Millen thought that it was not the highest and best use to have a residential use on Route 47. There could potentially be another layer of adaptive reuse buildings beyond those fronting directly on Route 47. Staff does have [DOT's plan for Route 47 and can provide them to the commission. Haugen stated he would like to see staff expound on the Route 47 business district,particularly what the corridor will look like. Miller then went on to explain the proposed rural estate neighborhood district as was proposed in the comprehensive plan. Miller went through a table which was prepared that compared the dimensional requirements of the rural estate district against all of the existing zoning districts in the City. Baker questioned if there was a height limit in agricultural and referenced barns and silos. Miller stated that there is currently no height limit for agricultural, but staff is recommending a height limit for dwelling units which wouldn't include an unoccupied structure such as a silo. Huinker commented that the City would lose money if lots in are in excess of an acre, that lots over an acre should be in the county. Huinker thought the better to do clustering in these areas. Neyer said that if the City wanted to discourage development in this area this would be the way to do it. This would be the perfect way to keep an area as farmland. Neyer said that this type of zoning would not be economically feasible for a developer. The commission determined that rural estate was not practical. Miller then brought up conservation design which is another proposed zoning district. He mentioned that staff had reviewed other municipalities' conservation design regulations, such as McHenry County. Some addressed the regulations in the subdivision control ordinance, while others in their zoning ordinance. Miller explained that there is a lot of information on this topic and the concept is that the gross density is low, but development is concentrated near each other so there is less infrastructure and more open space. Baker said that maintenance of the open space can become an issue and that the open space should be left natural. Miller mentioned that other municipal ordinances require a conservation easement to be held by a land trust organization, such as the Conservation Foundation. Baker also said that the open space should be"usable" or have a recreation focus. Crouch stated that clustering makes sense, but there are issues which they need to look at such as usable space and liability. Staff is going to review further. Miller mentioned that other municipalities had a conservation design subdivision as a permitted use, but the procedures and regulations could be handled separately in the subdivision control ordinance. Millen commented that the density examples provided in the article in the packet was a good example. Crouch commented that density is a balancing act and that the public typically wants larger lots, but larger lots are not always the best. The next meeting will be on Wednesday June 24 in which revisions to existing zoning districts will be addressed. The meeting was adjoined. Minutes submitted by Stephanie Boettcher
