Presentations:
Presenting Hattner Property and Jake Property (Shoppes South of Fox) is Emo
Furfori with Shoppe Design Associates and Attorney Dan Kramer.
Mr. Furfori presented the Hattner Property and stated that the property has been
before the City Staff and Plan Commission . The 80 acres of this plan , he stated,
they were proposing three different land uses. He pointed out a small part of the
commercial would be along Rt. 47 and the rest being residential . He said they were
looking at 10 acres that would actually be buildable commercial . There would be
about 14 acres of townhomes and the balance would be the storm water and twelve
thousand square foot lots of single family homes . He said they were asked to
provide a regional bike trail that would run along Rt. 47 along the north side of the
creek.
Attorney Dan Kramer presented Jake Property. He stated that it is out at the
intersection of 126 and 71 reconfigured . Mr. Kramer noted the part they are
looking to develop first is the section just below 126 with retail users and in the
back he stated they've gone to the flex zoning method . He said that they had an
assistant living user that could build one of those facilities and still not have enough
senior housing in the area . Mr. Kramer said that the trail system will be on the
north side of 126 and the balance will be sidewalk. Mogle noted, that the new
section of the inside road of 126, the trail will continue down west on 71 . Mr.
Kramer expects them to break ground this year. He said he would be back with
preliminary plats .

Old Business"
Hoover Property Ad Hoc Committee Report
Dave Mogle said that the meeting went well even though there were some real
opinionated views. Mogle noted that the material he gave the board was taken by
Jason and he submitted his own acquisition chronology and presented at the
meeting which included much of what Mogle put together. He felt that everyone
contributed to the meeting .
Chris Rollins was concerned about the number of meetings. He felt we've invested
our time and we need to explain to them that we need to make headway if are
taking time, for example, to lay out conceptual park plans . We need to make
headway and go ahead with a lease agreement. He felt that their board has to
come to some kind of a consensus with what the lease terms are going to be and
they have to have someone empowered to negotiate that with us . Rollins felt that
we need to make some of these things start working or else we loose our ability to
budget and ability to martial our limited resources and we're not going to make
progress on our side either. We need to make agreements and set a timeline of
goals .
Mogle felt that they got the message across of how they jumped ahead and got an
architect and they didn 't involve the City. It was explained to them that they had to
be included on any decisions especially with the common areas because it is in the
agreement. Mogle said he felt they understood why we had to be at the table in
these decisions.
Mogle said the lease agreement will describe how we're going to use the space .
Rollins felt that we should be drafting a lease right away. Mogle said that he and
Jason were working on it. He wanted the board to look through it and know their
concerns and comment on it. Ken Koch wants Kathy to look at the agreement as
well .

FY08 109 Budget Update
Dave Mogle said that he did make some minor changes in the budget and the key
issue include new hires or position upgrades and will be decided upon on the 13th of
March by the City Council and what they will approve .
Mogle noted the few items that he adjusted . First revenue item that he adjusted
was the Hometown Days by $5,000 due to sponsorships . Then in park expenses
they talked about part-time salaries and park contractual salaries ; he noted if they
don 't get the new hires they want then they'll have to use more seasonal and
contractual workers . Mogle noted that he bumped up the numbers under seasonal
staff.
Mogle made a point that last year they didn 't ask for staff because there was a lack
of funds . He said that this year they will need an administrative assistant. He also
explained that we will be bringing on five new parks and possibly Hoover which is
60 to 80 acres . Sleezer wanted four new employees just for that.
Rollins noted a Parks and Recreation presentation person once said that they way
we should be looking at a Parks and Recreation budget, if our programs are running
properly, that this is our baseline of money and that what we are really doing is
investing the money and we have a whole lot of dividends . If we calculated
volunteers and sponsorships and revenue it's about 45 % . He explained how these
numbers make us money and how this is an investment in the community. He felt
we should tell the council that when we add an employee or increase our labor it's
not like we don't get a return on it.
New Business°
Chris Rollins wanted to know if the board was interested in someone coming
in to talk about fundraising ideas . He gave examples what the director of
Acres had done to raise money . Rollins said that he was willing to come in
and talk about ideas with us on how we could make money. Rollins noted he
had worked with many Park and Recreation boards and has many good
ideas .

EST. 1036 From: Travis Miller
Cc: Lisa Pickering (for distribution)
Date: February 27, 2008
Subject: Kalant Rezoning
E
Plan Commission Recommendation
The Plan Commission conducted a public hearing and reviewed the rezoning request
February 13, 2008 and made the following action:
Motion to recommend approval of rezoning R-2 Residential to B-2 General Business.
0 ayes; 5 no; 1 abstaining
Findings noted at the meeting regarding the zoning classification included:
The uses of property within the general area of the property in question
include predominantly residential uses with a city park to the south and
commercial uses across Route 47. B-2 zoning allows for more intense uses
than these existing uses.
The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property is
predominately R-2 Residential with the exception of two parcels across 47
which are zoned B-2.
Impact to the traffic on Route 47 due to the proposed parking lot location
access point, as well as potential increases to traffic resulting on West Center
Street by business patrons were noted as concerns if the property is zoned B-2.
Comprehensive Plan Recommendations
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan for the property recommends Traditional
Neighborhood. The `Design Guidelines' are listed below for this Land Use:
• Any development or redevelopment shall conform to all City regulations regarding
their use
• As most development will be redevelopment of existing sites, the distinct character of
the (Transitional Residential) Neighborhood will be vulnerable to change. Therefore,
all development must be carefully designed to fit the character of its existing
surroundings.
• Existing residential and commercial uses should be preserved, Residential properties
fronting on arterial streets may be used for professional or service offices, or for small
retail shops consistent with the character of such uses in the downtown area.
i
Findings Necessary for a Zoning Amendment shall be based on the following:
a. Existing uses of property within the general area of the property in question,
b. The zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in question.
c. The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing
zoning classification,
d. The trend of development, if any, in the general area of the property in question,
including changes, if any, which have taken place since the day the property in question
was placed in its present zoning classification.
e. The impact that such reclassification and/or annexation will have upon traffic and traffic
conditions on said routes; the effect, if any, such reclassification and/or annexation would
have upon existing accesses to said routes; and the impact of additional accesses as
requested by the petitioner upon traffic and traffic conditions and flow on said routes.

Ili addition to being it property owner that recently received it certified letter concerning the

Fire property zoning should remain residential for a number of reasons:

An adjacent homeowner is protesting the request for zoning charge
The property is adjacent to Towne Square Park.
The property is near four schools anti it libimy.
The property owner does not reside in Yorkville.

Princess Playtime: We had all but one parent give 4's and 5's. There was one parent that did not like class.
One parent said they love the older Pre School programs we offer.
Basketball Leagues: We have received 48 basketball surveys, which included a wide variety of ratings.
Some low marks were given when asked about the quality of the referees in the 3 d and 4`s grade level. Some
changes have been made within the league to ensure the quality of the referees for the remainder of the
season, These changes included pairing one of the more experienced referees with one of the less
experienced referees so the calls would be balanced. The travel teams (which are only local league teams)
felt that the team roster size was too large and should be reduced to a maximum of 8 players on a team. This
