Roll Call: Roll call was taken and a quorum was established. Previous Meeting Minutes October 3, 2007: The minutes were approved as read on a motion and second by Bromann and Skinner respectively. Motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. Public Hearings: 1 . ZBA Mark and Renee Buck, Chris Scott and Tim and Tawnie Elwood, petitioners, filed an application requesting a height variance. Their addresses are 354, 356 and 352 Twinleaf Trail, Yorkville, in the Whispering Meadows subdivision. The petitioners seek a variance from Section 10-3-21) 1 (b), which states that the maximum height of a fence is 6 feet. A motion to enter into Public Hearing was made by Skinner with a second by Bromann. Motion passed on a voice vote. Page 2 of 3 Mr. Buck was sworn in and gave an overview of the petition. He said the petitioners live behind the Country Comfort Kennels and the New Life Church where there is a skateboard park. They wish to install an 8-foot fence for added privacy and noise control and would adhere to all other fence requirements. It will be located inside the petitioners' property lines. They have received approval from the kennel owner and church pastor and Chairman Baker noted letters from these two parties were received. There was a brief discussion of a fence shown on a drawing and it was determined that Exhibit B was not an accurate depiction of the fence location. The 300-foot section of 8- feet high fence will be located along the south lot line of lots 65, 66 and 67. Funkhouser asked if the petitioners had moved in after the kennel was established. The petitioners did move in after the kennel was built, however, Mr. Buck said they are not unhappy with the kennel, they just want added privacy. Mr. Michael McElmvry of 406 Twinleaf was sworn in to give testimony. He said he just needed clarification of the fence location. There was a brief discussion and Mr. Buck added that notices were sent to all residents in the area. Mr. McElmvry supported the request. Ms. Linda Blake of Parcel#71 was sworn in and stated her support of the petition. A motion was then made by Funkhouser to close the Public Hearing and it was seconded by Clementz. It was closed on a unanimous voice vote. Discussion: Skinner noted the"20%rule for setbacks". Ms. Kurtzman said it does not apply in this case. He also commented that this is an isolated case. Ms. Kurtzman then reviewed the"Finding of Fact" concerning this request. Bromann and Skinner then moved and seconded respectively, to approve ZBA 2008-01. This motion was approved on a unanimous roll call vote and will move to the City Council on July 22nd. New Business: 1. PC 2008-14 Raging Waves filed an application requesting a text amendment to their annexation agreement regarding signage. They seek relief by replacing the amount of signage allowed on the O'Keefe property with a single illuminated permanent sign on Lot 3,which would be up to 150 sq. ft. and up to 25 feet in height. Page 3 of 3 Miller said this was not a variance request and that a 2006 annexation agreement provided for signage on the property and other property as well. Since that time, other variances were approved and this request would be an amendment to the annexation agreement for which City Council is asking for ZBA input. Miller presented the details of the request and said the petitioner is asking for a sign to be 25 feet high with a maximum square footage of 150 feet. In exchange, the water park owners would forego 3 other potential signs. The amendment would also include language that states the water park cannot be advertised on nearby lots owned by them, which could be developed for other uses. Funkhouser asked how the area of the sign was calculated since a light box is included in the sign. Miller provided an explanation of the computations and the regulations that govern them. He said the light box is considered part of the sign area. Raging Waves representative Scott Melby also summarized their request and said the water park is allowed a total of 500 square feet of signage, but they are trading that amount for one sign. Ms. Kurtzman added that the method of calculation will be explained to the City Council. Mr. Melby said the sign will be constructed of wood and rope carrying out an Australian theme. The exact location of the sign was briefly discussed also. Baker commented this is a win-win for the City and is a beneficial trade-off. A motion was made by Skinner and seconded by Clementz to support the memo and annexation agreement amendment presented in PC 2008- 14. A roll call vote was taken: Funkhouser-nay; Clementz-aye; Moe-aye; Skinner-aye; Bromann-nay; Baker-aye; Woods-aye. Recommendation passed 5-2. There was no further business and Skinner moved to adjourn and Funkhouser seconded. Meeting adjourned at 8 :47pm.

Kurtzman, AICP (/ /C.. SUBJECT: ZBA 2008-02 Heartland Center HEARING DATE: The City has received an application for a variance from the City's Zoning Code. A public hearing has been scheduled before the Zoning Board of Appeals to be held on Wednesday, August 6, at 7:00 pm at City Hall. REQUEST: The applicant, Richard Marker Associates, Inc. is requesting relief from Section 10-3-2D1b of the zoning code, increasing the size of a fence from 6 feet to 8 feet. If approved, this fence would be installed along a portion of the Heartland Center eastern property line (728 E. Veterans Pkwy). CONDITIONS: The surrounding properties are zoned and used as indicated below: Zoning Use North B3 Undeveloped South R-2 PUD Single-family detached housing East Unincorporated commercial West Unincorporated commercial STANDARDS FOR GRANTING A VARIANCE: Section 10- 14-5(C) of the Municipal Code indicates that the Zoning Board of Appeals shall not vary (or make a recommendation to vary) the regulations of the Zoning Code unless it has made findings based upon the evidence presented to them for each specific case based upon the following: 1 . Because the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations was carried out. Zoning Board of Appeals ZBA 2008-02 July 31 , 2008 Page 2 of 2 2. The conditions upon which the petition for a variation is based are unique to the property for which the variation is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. 3 . The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Title and has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. 4. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located. 5. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion in the public streets, or increase the danger to the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. NEXT STEPS: Upon closing the hearing, staff requests that the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) make findings based upon each of the standards listed above. Section 10- 14-5(D) outlines occasions when the Zoning Board of Appeals may make a final decision. A variance to the height of a fence is not listed as a type of variance where the ZBA can make a final determination. Therefore, the ZBA will be making a recommendation that will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. As you know, you make recommend to approve, deny or approve the request with conditions. /ahk Filename: \\Coyse er\User Folders\AKumman\My Documents\ZBA\hearamd Center\staff report 7-31-08.doc United City of Yorkville 800 Game Farm Road ° 'mss Yorkville, Illinois 60560 Telenhone: 630-553-4350 CFax: 630-553 -7575 PC # APPLICATION VARIANCE REQUEST Date of Submission: 1 M/01j 1 .
