sportsmen alike; and
WHEREAS, the CITY, through prior resolution 2001-7 approved by the CITY on February
28, 2001, strongly urged the DEPARTMENT to preserve the existing dam in the CITY while

development. This developer is working with MPI to come up with acreage for a
High School site. The lots are 12,000 square foot minimums with an average lot
size of 14,000 square feet. There are 167 lots and there will be bike path access
within the development.
Detail Board Report(Bill list):
This will move on to City Council for consideration.
Items Recommended by Committee for Consent Agenda:
1. PS 2005-12 Police Reports for January 2006
The Consent Agenda items will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
Mayor:
1. ZBA 2005-58 Saravanos Properties—Sign Variance—A new sign is being
proposed. It is under 20 feet high, and is 198 square feet. There were two options
presented. Option"B"had a"roof'design element, and option"A"did not.
Option"B"will be moved forward to City Council for consideration.
2. ADM 2005-19a. Ordinance Establishing SSA No.2005-109 (Bristol Bay 1) -
and
3. ADM 2005-19b. Ordinance Providing for Issuance of SSA No. 2005-109
Special Tax Bonds, Series 2006(Bristol Bay 1)—These are in keeping with the
annexation agreement. Peter Raphael said the Bond issue would fund storm sewer
facilities, sanitary sewer facilities,water facilities,and road improvement
categories. There has been no agreement with the school yet if they want land and
cash,or just cash. There was a question if the SSA would be used to develop the
park. The parks will be developed along with the different phases of the
development. There is some regional detention in this development. John Wyeth,
John Crois, and Travis Miller will work on a paper trail with the taxing bodies.
There was a suggestion that the SSA should not be approved until all the taxing
bodies have an agreement with the developer in to the City. This will move on to
City Council for consideration.
4. ADM 2006-15 Municipal Building Impact Fee—The figures in the packet for the
buildings do not include land acquisition. There will be verbage to allow for the
pre-payment of the fees. The higher of the two figures in the justification and the
impact fees does include charges for debt service,the lower of the two costs does
not, because the fees would be paid up front. There will also be verbage that says
the fees can be reviewed from time to time so the whole ordinance does not have to
'be changed if the amount of the fee changes. This will move on to City Council.
Economic Development Committee:
1. EDC 2005-01 SSA Tax Policy—This defines what SSA dollars are eligible to be
used for. Under Eligible Projects a sentence shall be added that the developer must
demonstrate a reasonable and acceptable agreement with all the taxing bodies
before the SSA can be approved. This will move on to City Council.

2. PC 2005-27 Kiddie Campus—Special Use—This will move on to City Council
for Consideration.
3. PC 2005-62 2113 Route 47—Annexation and Zoning—Must get a draft
agreement in to the City before a Public Hearing can be set.
4. PC 2006-03 Woodstone—Annexation and Zoning—Must get a draft agreement
in to the City before a Public Hearing can be set.
5. PC 2006-07 Caledonia Unit 1—Final Plat—Scott Guerard was here to explain
that Caledonia was originally approved as a single unit, and now it will be
developed in phases. This will move on to City Council.
6. EDC 2005-06 Amendment to PUD Ordinance—The words highlighted in
yellow are the new text and the lined through text is text to be removed. This
changes how the PUD is administered and recognized. This will add a PUD
zoning classification. This change will give the developer an entitlement on the
concept plan.All other zoning classification regulations particular to the
development will also have to be met. There was a question about the changes
between Public Hearings and Public Meetings, because the neighbors will not be
notified for a Public Meeting the same way they are for a Public Hearing. Travis
Miller will check on this. Minor and Major changes are outlined in the ordinance
as well as what has to happen when changes are made. There will be a Public
Hearing to add this zoning classification,then it will go to Plan Commission before
it comes back to COW.
Park Board:
No Report. .
Public Works Committee:
No Report.
Public Safety Committee:
1. PS 2006-07 Overnight Parking Ordinance—Long Term Parking—There was a
sample of a long term parking permit application. It was thought that garages were
for parking vehicles, not storage of household items,but there was some debate
about whether or not a permit could be applied for if the homeowner was storing a
boat or other recreational vehicle in their garage. It was though the permits should
be for cul-de-sac residents only. Also the cul-de-sac 100%of signatures rule
should be looked at if there was for instance a cul-de sac with only one signature
missing. Bill Dettmer will be contacted and all the building and zoning ordinances
will be looked at to see if they need updating. This will come back to the next
COW.
2. PS 2006-06 Request to Hire Two Additional Patrol Officers—The hires will
wait until April first,when they were originally planned for. This is informational
only. No further action is necessary.
3. PS 2005-09 Gift Basket Liquor License—There is a discrepancy between the two
forms of the ordinance. One says ale, and the other says champaign. Also,there is
a definition of a gift basket in the ordinance. The annual fee for the license will be
$250 rather than$1000. This will comeback to COW.
4. PS 2006-08 Cul-de-Sac Opt-out Petition for North Dover Court—This will go
back to Public Safety.

Assistant back to the next COW for discussion as well as the Assistant to the City
Council's job description.
Alderwoman Spears pointed out that on the memos where the departments mark if
they have reviewed an item,the Community Development Director should be added,
and she would like the departments to make sure they mark the form after an item has
been reviewed.
Alderwoman Spears also mentioned that the street sign at McHugh and Countryside
Parkway was missing.
Alderwoman Burd would like the sign ordinance to go back to EDC.
Treasurer Bill Powell passed around a document from the bank for all the Aldermen
to sign and to use their stamp on if they had one.

Mayor:
1. Old Post Office—The old Post Office will be an Annex to the City Hall. It will
provide more offices. The Recreation Department may possibly move into this
space,which would avoid the City paying rent for their space. The Old Post Office
is set up for service which would be good for the Recreation Department. Bill
Dettmer will perform a comprehensive check of the building and will determine
what will need to be updated. The whole building department can not relocate
because permitting needs to stay at City Hall. The software they use is at City Hall
and there could be a significant cost to connect with City Hall if they were to
move. The inspection department can move into another location though. The
Post Office will not be re-locating until May or June.
2. Metro West Update—This group includes Mayors and City Managers from all of
Kendall County,Eastern Kane County,and into DeKalb County. As this group
goes forward with it's strategic plan, they are looking at coming up with ideas,
thoughts, and projects that will strengthen the municipalities in this area as well as
their goals and ideals.
There are 3 basic issues they are working on, looking at, and monitoring. One is
the Eminent Domain Legislation. They want to make sure it is not overly
burdensome for the taxing bodies. They are watching that the language is set up so
it can be realistically enforced. There is a Senate Bill currently pending to move
this forward. Alderman Spears asked if this would affect the ordinance she
prepared and was passed. Mayor Prochaska said this was for a community that
wanted to keep Eminent Domain. Originally it was for all types of Eminent
Domain, such as Life Safety,but some of the language is being taken out so it
works more with the Economic Development side. There is language that
promotes the owner getting an attorney. The City would have to pay the legal fees.
The land value would be determined at the current date, rather than when the suit
was filed.
They have also been looking at the Drop Pension Ordinance for Fire and Police
Officials. The effects will be looked into before the City of Yorkville takes an
official position on the matter. It allows an employee that is close to retirement,to
have some of their funds go a separate account so they may receive a lump sum
payment when they leave. The last 5 years they are working they would collect
their pension based on time of work it could be anywhere from 50%- 75%of their
salary into this Drop Fund. Whether or not the employee could participate in this
plan would be made by the Pension Board,not by City Council.
Project Lightspeed is an upgrade to the AT&T/SBC system so they can allow or
provide video and multiple channel service similar to Cable TV. They are saying
they do not have to have a franchise agreement with the Cities such as the Cities
have with the Cable Companies. Any of these types of improvements should be
delayed until a determination is made if it is legal or not to get them into a
franchise agreement. Also there has been some lobbying done to have the
franchise agreements done at the State or Federal level. The City would then have
no say what is paid,what service is rendered in the community, or whether there
would be government access channels. This is being monitored.

City Attorney
1. Saliu—Amendment to a Consent Decree for Yorkville Market Place—This is
the South West corner of Marketplace Dr. and Rt. 34 (in front of the Jewel) and it
is to be a new restaurant. This would be an amendment to the Consent Decree
which would allow the developer to deviate from the Judge's decree, but there
would be no deviation from the City's Setbacks in the Building and Zoning
Ordinances. This will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
Economic Development Committee:
1. PC.2005-65 Fountain Village—Final Plat—This is for the Walgreen's that will
be at Rt. 47 and Rt 71. This substantially meets the Preliminary Plat. This will
move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
2. PC 2004-33 Silver Fox—Annexation, Zoning,and Preliminary Plan—This is a
development along Fox Road. The many developments that are in this area will be
joining together to make the infrastructure improvements with simultaneous
funding and easements. The annexation and zoning will not be final until all the
developments are ready to annex and zone. Alderwoman Spears would like the
developer to fill out a density credit explanation. The developer has, and Travis
Miller has reviewed it. Alderwoman Spears questioned the building and zoning
issues. The building and zoning issues have also been resolved. This will move on
sometime in the future, it is not going to be on the agenda next week.
3. PC 2006-08 Westbury South Village PUD Amendment and Preliminary PUD
Plan and
4. PC 2006-09 Westbury East Village PUD Amendment and Preliminary PUD
Plan—The major amendment is to attach the plan itself,and a reduction in the
number of units in the East Village. 68 units were dropped from the original plan.
There is a fence issue between where the Golf Course will be and the neighbor's
horse track. The location, height,material and maintenance of the fence is still to
be negotiated. The adjacent property owner would rather negotiate with the City
than the developer. Alderman Besco is willing to sit down with the adjacent
landowner for the negotiation. There is also a stand of existing trees on the
neighbor's property that may have to be removed if the fence is put in. This will
stay on the agenda if the issue is resolved. There is a 33.8 acre Commercial site on
the comer of Rt. 47 and Galena Rd. The majority of changes that were made are in
the center of the development to accommodate the reconfiguration of the road.
The 15 acre School site and 5 '/z acre Park site were maintained with access off
Mystic Dr. and East Village Blvd. Though the Golf Course has not yet been
designed,there will be 1 hole of the Golf Course along the North side of the Rob
Roy Creek. The heavy vegetation border will be maintained. Language will be
added into the plan that will allow for the future design of the Golf Course. It was
suggested that the adjacent land owner who has the horse track have some input on
the final design. There was a question about adding a Frontage Road to keep the
traffic off Rt. 47. This will move on to City Council with the additional language.

5. COW 2006-04 Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to Allow"Contractor's
Offices"as Permitted Use in M-1 Limited Manufacturing Zoning District,and
Allowing"Contractor Facilities that include Outdoor Storage" as a Special
Use in the M-1 Limited Manufacturing Zoning District—Presently the M-1
district does not allow contractor's offices that are devoted to the construction of
buildings. Staff is recommending the zoning code be amended to allow contractor
offices with or without outdoor storage. Wanda Ohare's name needs to be
removed, and Jim Bock's name needs to be added. This will Move on to City
Council on Consent Agenda.
Public Safety Committee:
1. PS 2006-07 Overnight Parking Ordinance—The vote to have a special meeting
on this matter will go on to City Council.
Park Board:
1. PKBD 2006-03 Truck Purchases—The Illinois State Purchase Program renewal
for this type of truck never came. The conventional Bid Process was begun to
purchase a one ton dump truck and a utility truck. The Parks has $60,000 budgeted
for these and the Public Works department will pick up the rest of the cost. The
total for the two trucks with the plows and accessories will be$69,862. The
proposals that were received will be submitted before a vote will take place. This
will go on to City Council for consideration.
2. PKBD 2006-04 Special Recreation Services—This is a Policy review. Last year
there was a boy that participated in a contractual camp. The City paid out of area
fees and the resident paid the regular fee. The policy has been amended, and now
this scholarship program will not be paying for contractual camps. There was
concern about this and a suggestion that the new Policy be reconsidered. The City
could allocate funds for this program, such as the funds for the embroidered shirts
that were not purchased this year. There is$3,600 in the Park Board budget for
grants and scholarships. The policy is that the money will be used for special ed.
and regular parks, excluding pre-school programs. There was some discussion
about removing the limitations on the contractual camps and the pre-school
programs. Also there could be a cut-off date. It was explained that the non-
resident fees are exorbitant and the Parks department would like to help as many
kids as possible with a limited amount of money. The issue is being resolved by
finding an alternate revenue source. The United Way was contacted to fund the
programs not being funded by the Park Board, such as Fox Valley Special Rec.
Chris Rollins,the Park Board President said the Park Board can not afford sending
kids to camps or on trips. A list of requests for assistance and for what kinds of
programs was requested, as well as knowing how many were denied. The Parks
Department is looking at purchasing a Pre-School Van. The Fox Valley United
Way is located in Aurora, IL. The Fox Valley Special Rec. program for Mentally
and Physically disabled children will cost$1500 for just one child. The school is
sending out a survey to find out the number of disabled children in Yorkville. The
United Way will provide a scholarship program this year. The United Way has
applied for a$10,000 Grant, and they have been told they will be receiving it. It is
just waiting for fonnal Board Approval on April 19d.

3. PIKED 2006-05 Scope of Service for Design Services for Prairie Meadows Park
—This is for a 2—3 acre park behind the Public Works Maintenance Facility. This
will be an OSLAD grant project. Schoppe will help with the grant application and
construction. July 1st is the deadline for the grant. The cost is$30,500 for the
contract and the additional services. This includes the Plan, Grant Administration,
and Construction documents. This will move on to City Council on Consent
Agenda.
Public Works Committee:
No Report.
Administration Committee:
No Report.
Legislative Task Force
1. Task Force Report—The Governing Ordinance was discussed. Under 1. Ethical
Standards,E. is not clear, more definition should be added, possibly as per state
statute on Ethical Standards. Also L. should read: Shall when representing the
city... . Dress in a professional manner was not clear. It was changed to read
dress in a manner appropriate to the function.
Under 2. Duties and Rights of Aldermen,B. The Mayor and the City Administrator
should receive information equally. D.Any one Alderman has the right to place an
item on the agenda for discussion. This would include COW and City Council, but
not Special Meetings. M. Shall was changed to May. This would include Staff
and Official Vacancies. For new hires the Council would only interview the
candidates.
Under 3. Duties and Rights of the Mayor,F. is to be removed Under I., it is the
City Administrator's task to oversee the hiring and firing of the personnel of the
City. The wording will be changed to oversee the City Administrator's hiring and
firing... J. was changed to say: Shall be responsible to assure the implementation
of the policies....
Under 4. The standing committees,there was some discussion about having only 1
City Council meeting. Having only 1 may affect the timeliness of paying the bills.
There was an addition suggested that no Alderman would chair the same
committee within 4 years time. There was also discussion about the appointment
or assignment of liaisons. Usually the Mayor asks for volunteers or input from the
Council.
There were some other amendments to make, one was cell phone restrictions,
another was to use the agenda format that has already been adopted. The meeting
dates and times can be added. Language about Special meetings and election of
the Mayor Pro Tern should be added. Also the Mayor must recognize other people
before they may speak at the meetings.
This will come back to COW with the changes on April 18a'.

City Council Requests
1. Review of the SSA Policy—Burd, Spears,and Besco—Under Annexation
Agreements, no Annexation Agreement would give entitlement to a special tax. It
should say in the Annexation Agreement that the owner may apply for a Special
Tax.
Under Notice and Comment from Taxing Bodies,the City Council would like
written communication that what is being provided is agreed upon. This input
would show the Council that everything is in place.
Additional Business

Presentations:
1. Tower Rental and Wireless Internet Service by PDQ—Michael Anderson
proposed renting Water tower space to provide Broadband service and Wireless
Internet. Alderwoman Burd asked what kind of wireless system it would be. It
will be a mixture of Motorola, Red Line, and YFI equipment. They are proposing
to install an IP addressable camera. Alderwoman Burd asked if the City offices
would get free Internet. Michael Anderson was told that the City is happy with
their current TI line. Anderson has visions of the Police and Ambulance services
having camera and voice capabilities in the future with this service. The wireless
service would cover approximately 90%of the city. Alderwoman Burd asked
about security. Michael Anderson said there were 3 ways to handle security. One
was with encryption, another was a VPN(Virtual Private Network), and the last
was a Static Public IP Address for each customer which would make"spoofing"an
IP Address or a MAC Address very difficult. Alderwoman Burd asked why it
would be more beneficial for the City to have PDQ provide this service rather than
the City purchasing the equipment. Mayor Prochaska said because this is starting
new,the City boundaries are not yet set and the maintenance and upgrading is
costly. This way the City's investment is low. Alderwoman Burd's concern was
that if the City were to allow this, and if the City was unhappy with the service,
that the company would take away the equipment, and there would be an
interruption in service for the consumers. Michael Anderson said Municipal
provided Broadband has not been working well in other areas. He said PDQ has
been providing service to North Aurora since 1998 and Oswego since 1999 or
2000. Alderwoman Burd asked if it would be possible for the City to receive
money per account. Michael Anderson said at this point anything is possible.
Alderwoman Burd was concerned that a 5 year contract with a minimum of one
additional 5 year contract was too long. Michael Anderson said he was asked if a 3
year contract would be acceptable. It has not yet been changed in the contract.
Mayor Prochaska said it would also be a non-exclusive lease, so another Internet
provider may also provide service in the same location. The rent would be $100
per month for space on each Water Tower. There was a question about how much
the equipment costs. It is$15,000- $20,000 per Tower. Alderwoman Burd said
she would like to see wireless service for the Library, and City Offices so people -
can use their laptops and not have to plug into something. Alderwoman Spears
figured if 5,000 households signed up at$25 per month service, over the course of
the year it would be$1.5 million. She agreed with Alderwoman Burd that they
should provide free Internet for the Library,Parks,Recreation, Public Works,the
Old Post Office (which will be an Annex to the City),the Beecher Building, and
the School. She would like to see a 1 year trial lease. Alderwoman Spears asked
what the costs PDQ were charging in the other Cities. Michael Anderson said it
ranged from the$25 service up to a TI line that is$360 per month and there have
been no increases since the service began. Alderwoman Spears asked how many
employees PDQ has and what the time frame was to get a service tech to arrive at
the site to correct a problem. Michael Anderson said there are 8 Full Time
employees and 14 Part Time employees and that most problems are corrected over
the phone,but when they have to come out it would be within a few hours, or at
least the same day. The longest a customer has been without service was 3—4
days.
Page 3of7
Alderwoman Spears asked about low income service, and if the Council could
establish what it would cost and what would be considered low income status.
There was discussion about how many towers and customers PDQ has, and that
they can not compete with SBC who provides $12.95 per month service.
Alderwoman Spears pointed out that in the proposal everywhere it says"he"or
"undersigned"should be replaced with the firm's name. Alderwoman Spears also
pointed out the typo in paragraph#8 that it says ...fifteen(10) days...It should be
whichever the City preferred. Alderwoman Spears also said in Paragraph#13 the
Council would need to know the amount of the Bond Draft. This blank will be
filled in before a vote. Mayor Prochaska said the City must be named as additional
insured. Mayor Prochaska asked if there was a limit of how many people could
log on at the same time. Michael Anderson said 254 people could log on per radio,
and there would be 6 radios per tower. Alderwoman Spears asked if the Staff
could provide information about the City suppling the equipment and the firm
maintaining it. Mayor Prochaska reminded everyone that there is competition, and
the main reason for looking at this was because the City would not be putting in a
major investment into this service,the City will find out how good the service is,
and if the locations are good. Alderwoman Burd suggested the Technology
Committee report to the Committee of the Whole with recommendations from Ron
Robinson so the other Aldermen are aware of things that are going on. This will
come back to the next COW.
2. PC 2006-34 Kendall Marketplace—Concept Plan—Richard Filler, and Jim
McPhail were here for the presentation. Mid America Real Estate and Harlem
Irving Companies have come together to form Cannonball LLC for the
development of Kendall Marketplace at Rt. 34 and Cannonball Tr. They have
moved beyond the Concept Phase and are working with some large retailers to
incorporate them into the plan. Harlem Irving has been designing shopping centers
for the last 50 years beginning with the Harlem Irving Plaza at Harlem and Irving
Park Rd. They talked about their past projects and showed slides of other
developments they had done and their relationship with Mid America Real Estate.
They explained that the landscaping and architectural theme they would use would
give the development a small town feel. This development is 193 acres of
Residential and Commercial with 143 of the acres being Commercial. There will
be a Theater, some major retailers,and some small retail such as an ice cream
parlor or a Starbucks. They would have oasis in the parking lots rather than having
a sea of asphalt, and design it as more of a town setting. To create a buffer zone
between the existing residential and the shopping center they have included a park
and a detention pond. There are 172 Townhomes proposed and 45 single family
lots. Bill from SEC talked about the streetscape and architecture of the
development. He talked about the water features they wanted to include in the
project. Alderwoman Spears said that Cannonball Trail is currently a 2 lane road
and there is a lot of traffic already. She wondered if they would be making into a 4
lane road. The traffic report shows Cannonball as a 3 lane road,Rt. 34 as 5 lanes,
and Beecher Rd. as 4 lanes with a large median. There was some concern about
the impact of the property owners on Cannonball Tr. There is a parcel on this
property for a future Police Station. The building will have a front facade on all
sides. There was some discussion about setbacks and buffers on the out lots.
Page 4 of 7
There will be a walkway throughout the development. Target and Home Depot
have both sent a letter of intent to the developer.
Economic Development Committee:
1. PC 2005-45 PNGK Family Limited Partnership Property Annexation
Agreement and Development Agreement (Onishi-McHugh Professional
Building)—Dan Kramer was here on behalf of the petitioner. The new building
will meet the City setbacks. The parking will be on the South West side of the
parcel. There will be a solid wood fence and landscaping on the inside of the
fence. It will be an all Masonry Building with a residential feel. They are
requesting O zoning and are agreeable to limiting it to professional office uses.
The residents do not want any kind of Commercial development near them. The
comprehensive plan shows a transitional use in this area. Dan Kramer said this is a
low impact use. This will move on to City Council for a Vote.
Public Safety Committee:
2. Discussion of Parking Ban Amendment Ordinance—Having a referendum
question on the November Election Ballot was suggested. It would be an advisory
question that is non-binding. There would be no additional cost for this
referendum question. It would allow the voters to decide if there should be a
blanket parking ordinance. This came up because of specific problems within the
City. If the ordinance was split,the Commercial Vehicle portion of the Ordinance
could remain, and enforcement of the residential vehicles could be suspended. The
City Attorney said the Ordinance would have to be amended. The portions about
passenger vehicles would be removed, and the truck portion would remain. Mayor
Prochaska asked if the Council was interested in amending the ordinance, and
removing the language about residential vehicles, and allowing parking on the
streets until the referendum. Alderman Besco feels that roads are meant to move
the traffic. The legal department can give a suggestion for a referendum question.
This will be a future Public Safety Agenda item. The question of amending the
current ordinance, removing the passenger vehicle parking ban portion and leaving
the truck parking ban in place will go on to City Council for a vote.
Detail Board Report Bill list):

picture of the downtown area that was framed and hung in City Hall. On page 22
there was a question under Smith Engineering about a City Travel Demand Forecast.
This was the Needs assessment Smith Engineering did for the entire City. This will
move on to City Council for consideration.

Economic Development Committee:
2. EDC 2006-11 Jefferson Street/Route 47—IDOT Improvement Concept Plans
—This would be a joint development with the City and the County. 3 different
plans were proposed for a piece of land 600—700 feet long and 90— 100 feet wide
along Rt. 47. The road will be getting wider, and there will be 6—7 feet of
sidewalk next to the curb. Then there will be a 2 foot berm,and a 2 foot swail. It
will be a 3/1 slope. There was discussion about each of the plans. The Mayor and
the Aldermen liked Plan C the best. Plan C will provide 53 additional parking
spaces and some buildings. Alderwoman Burd suggested combining the Civic
Lawn from Plan A into the design for Plan C. She would also like to see a water
feature. There was some discussion about handicap accessibility. There could be a
public elevator available for use at all times of the day, not just when a business
would be open.
3. PC 2006-25 New Life Church—Annexation and Zoning—Patti Bernhard was
here to talk about this parcel. It is a 49 acre development with 23 acres being
zoned residential for a church and school use, and the other 26 acres would be
commercial. This is at the South East corner of Galena and Kennedy Road. There
is an 8 acre parcel that the Tillers is interested in for an assisted living facility.
They need a 10 acre site though, so the plan may change slightly to accommodate
them. There will be a full access off Galena Rd., and also a full access off
Kennedy Rd. The access on Mill Rd.will line up with an access in Grande
Reserve. There is an access road throughout the development. This will come
back to COW with an Annexation Agreement.
4. PC 2006-01 Grande Reserve Unit 14—Preliminary/Final Plat—This is for the
Commons of Grande Reserve. It is a 11.48 acre parcel with 11 -4 unit buildings

Council for approval on Consent Agenda.
8. PC 2005-53 Hudson Lakes—Preliminary Plat—Jim Olguin, Dave Schultz, and
Dan Harper were here to discuss this development. There is land for the school
that is adjacent to this development to expand the school site. There are
connections on all sides of the development with Penman Rd. being a major
collector road. There will be no SSA requested,there will be a dormant
maintenance SSA. There was a question about what the Historical Street name
would be. It will be Richfield. It should be included in the Plat. This will move
on to City Council for consideration on Consent Agenda.
9. PC 2006-02 Yorkshire Estates—Final Plat—Andy Fisk was present to discuss
this development. There will be 295 single family homes. There is a 10 acre
school and park site, but it may all go to the park because the developer has gotten
a letter from the school saying they do not want the 4 acres for a school site.
Approval would be subject to the engineering issues being worked out, and subject
to becoming contiguous to the City. This will move on to City Council on Consent
Agenda with the stipulations.
10. PC 2006-21 Villas at the Preserve—Final Plat—This will move on to City
Council for a Vote.
Park Board:
No Report.
Public Works Committee:
1. PW 2006-712005 In-Town Drainage Program—Request for Additional
Compensation—This was because of delays in the project due to utility
relocations, bad weather, and re-designs. The original request was for $8,410.
There is now supplemental information that increases the request to $10,000. Joe
Wywrot is comfortable approving the $8,410, and would like to wait on the rest
until after having a meeting with Smith Engineering. This is to pay the people who
did the work,not the engineer. Approving the $8,410 will move on to City
Council on Consent Agenda.
2. PW 2006-87 2005 In-Town Drainage Program—Change Order#12—This
Change Order was due to an error in the design of the storm sewer outfall. Joe
Wywrot recommends the City pay $23,775 of the Change Order, and ask that
Smith Engineering fund all or some of the remaining costs totaling$30,995. There
is a meeting already scheduled with Smith Engineering. This will go on to City
Council on Consent with the notice that if there is no resolution on this, some of
the cost may be due back to the City.
3. PW 2006-73 EEI Proposed Hourly Rate Changes—The City work will remain
at the same rate, but work for the developers will be at the new rate. This will
move on to City Council for approval on Consent Agenda.
Page 7 of 7
Public Safety Committee:
1. Special Recognition to Officer Jon Helland—The Public Safety Committee
wanted to extend their gratitude to Officer Helland on initiating the Cadet Program.
3. Human Resource Commission—Historical Street Names Procedures—This
would be for brown signs that would have the nominee's complete name and be
attached to the appropriate street sign. The family or nominee would be presented
with a City flag. An Ambassador Committee would be formed for an honor
ceremony and photo shoot. The developer would pay for the brown sign.
Alderwoman Spears talked about having developers put a City Flag at the
entrances of the subdivisions. Eric Dhuse is looking into the pricing for the signs.
This will be off the Agenda until there is something to bring forward for a vote.
The Aldermen were in consensus for telling the Human Resource Commission to
move forward with this.
Administration Committee:
1. ADM 2006-31 Staff Salary Survey—This will be postponed until the May 16
cow.
Leeislative Task Force
1. Task Force Report—This will be postponed until the next COW.
Additional Business
Alderwoman Burd received a letter in the mail from a Realtor about selling her home,
and woven throughout the letter was a scare tactic that she should sell her home
because the City could use Eminent Domain and take it from her. She would like to
get the word out to the residents that the City does not plan to use Eminent Domain
for Economic Development.
Alderwoman Spears wanted to remind the Aldermen to use their stamps on the
signature card for the bank.
Alderman Wolfer asked about the review of tapes, and wanted to know when
Executive Session became public. Executive Session only becomes public when the
Council votes to release the minutes. There is a group that goes through and
determines what can be released about every 6 months, but some executive sessions
may be held indefinitely.
Mayor Prochaska said Glory Spies is planning a Community Volunteer Appreciation
Day on May 13th from 12—2 pm at the Riverfront park.
At the next meeting Mayor Prochaska will have commission and committee
recommendations for appointments for Human Resource Commission,and the Park
Board. He is still looking for an Architect to be part of the Facade Committee.
Alderman Leslie wanted to know if there was some kind of formal identification for
the Aldermen. There are ID cards every Alderman was supposed to receive. John
Crois will look into what happened to them. The pictures for them were already
taken.
Mayor Prochaska announced that Debbie Walker had passed away. Her wake is
scheduled for tomorrow from 2—9 pm.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 pm.

Detail Board Report(Bill list):
On Page 9 and Page 33 there is a bill for Charles H Schrader&Assoc. for the 2nd
quarter Grant Writer fee. Are these duplicate bills? This will be verified. On Page
21 there was a question about the charge from JULIE and whether the City will be
reimbursed for it. That would depend if the City called or if a Contractor called. This
will be looked into. On Page 28 there were charges for 5 replacement and 1 new
phone. The new phone was for Community Relations. This will move on to City
Council for consideration.
Items Recommended by Committee for Consent Agenda:

Page 2 of 6
Mayor:
1. Downtown Tag Increment Financing Redevelopment Project and Plan—This
item is not ready for discussion yet.
Economic Development Committee:
1. PC 2006-13 Autumn Creek Unit 2—Final Plat—There are park and school sites
included in the plan. They received unanimous recommendations from the Plan
Commission and EDC. The Parks Department has been told they can harvest
whatever stock is left from the nursery to use in other areas free of charge. This
will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
2. PC 2006-31 Tuscany Plaza—Special Use and Variances—This development is
on the comer of Hydraulic and Bridge St. It will be a 3 story building with retail
on the first floor and residential on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There will be
underground parking for the residents and tenants. The building would be
consistent with the architectural style in the area. They are requesting changing the
setbacks to O feet and lot coverage to 90%. They are also asking to reduce the
minimum parking lot isle from 24 feet to 22 feet, 4 inches, and the minimum
parking spaces from 44 to 29. 2 handicapped spaces are included in the parking
lot. There are 20 units so each residence would get at least 1 parking space. There
are parking lots nearby North West of Hydraulic and West of 47 and there is also
one North of the Kendall Pub. These lots are more than 50%vacant during any
time of the day. The recommendation were to approve the variance requests. This
is compliant with the Yorkville Downtown Vision Plan. Alderman Wolfer asked if
this development would be eligible for the TIF district. There is a potential timing
issue, if they do not begin work before the district is in place,they may be eligible.
There was a question about how far down they could go before they hit bedrock.
The soil boring they have done 23 feet into the ground shows limestone, but no
bedrock. There was a suggestion of adding an outdoor terrace on top of the
building. There was a question about the street scape. Trees and plantings will be
between the retail doors. They will come back to COW with a development
agreement.
3. PC 2005-60 Bailey Meadows—Revised Preliminary Plan—Roger Brown was
here to explain the revisions. This is a Commercial property at Rt. 47 and Baseline
Rd. The changes that were made were at the request of the City. The access was
moved further South which reduced their compensatory storage to 1:1. The
Council does have the authority to allow this. 2 retail spaces were added and the
trail was moved. There will be a 30 foot landscape buffer. The Plan Commission
recommended approval. This will go on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
4. PC 2005-53 Hudson Lakes—Annexation and Zoning—Jim Olguin said this
does substantially conform to the Preliminary Plat. There are 10 acres for a school
site that match up to the school site in Raintree Village. They received a favorable
recommendation from the Plan Commission. Prestwick of Yorkville will be
providing left and right turn lanes at Penman Rd and 126. Hudson Lakes will
contribute a signal at this intersection. At Final Plat 110%of the Engineer's cost of
the signal will be deposited with the City. The City will talk with the State about
not waiting until full build out to install the light at this intersection.
Page 3 of 6
There was some discussion about widening the intersection of Rt.71 and Rt. 126.
IDOT will have to be contacted to discuss this. There is a grade increase in the
detention basins. Dave Schultz explained that the slope increase was because of
the buffering. There is no SSA being requested, there will be a backup
maintenance SSA in place. This will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
5. PC 2005-33 Chally Farm—Preliminary Plan—This received a unanimous
recommendation from Plan Commission. There was some changes after the
developer found out there was a natural drainage area, and the natural will be
maintained. There is a trail system throughout the area. They are not requesting
any variances. This will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
6. PC 2006-17 Grande Reserve Unit 18—Final Plat—This is an 8.8 acre parcel that
will have 17 four unit traditional town homes for a total of 62 units.
7. PC 2006-18 Grande Reserve Unit 19—Final Plat—This is a 6.14 acre detention
basin.
8. PC 2006-19 Grande Reserve Unit 20—Final Plat—This is for Neighborhood 2
in Grande Reserve. It is 22.35 acres with detention. There are 31 single family
attached buildings for 62 total units.
Plan Commission favorably recommended all 3 of the Grande Reserve parcels. All
3 will move on to City Council subject to staff comments on Consent Agenda.
9. PC 2005-52 Kleinwachter—Special Use—This is near the USDA office on Rt.
47. Plan Commission gave a unanimous positive recommendation for this Special
Use. There will be a Special Use Public Hearing next Tuesday. This will come
back to a future agenda after the Public Hearing.
10. PC 2006-20 Pulte Homes—Westhaven—Amendment to Annexation and
PUD Agreement—This is to be removed from the Agenda.
11. PC 2006-25 New Life Church—Annexation and Zoning—There will be RI
zoning for the Northern portion for a Church and school use, and a B3 zoning for
the Southern portion that will be a mix of commercial uses. They have stricken 23
uses from the allowable uses in a B3 development. Plan Commission gave a
unanimously favorable recommendation. There should be a clause in the
agreement that if homes would be developed the fee structure for a single family
development would be followed. This will go on to City Council for a vote.
Park Board:
1. PKBD 2006-04 Passenger Van Purchase through State Purchase Program—
This vehicle would transport program participants on field trips as well as staff use.
It is budgeted for the 06/07 fiscal year. The payment would not have to be made
until delivery in mid July. This will go on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
2. PKBD 2006-05 Prairie Meadows Park—OSLAD Grant—The OSLAD Grant is
a matching grant for a maximum amount of$400,000. The budget for this park is
$442,000 and half will be reimbursed. There is a 3 acre park area on the back side
of the 7 acre parcel where the new Parks and Public Works Building will be.
There will be a 2—5 year old playground,a 5 — 12 year old playground. The
theme for this park is the Fire Department. There will be an interactive water
feature of a fountain that mimics a water tower. The surface under the water
feature will be a brush concrete so it is a non-skid surface. There will be a bronze
fireman in the entrance area and replicas of hose drying equipment.
Page 4 of 6
There will be an interactive panel that will focus on fire safety. There is a
recreational ball field that will be used for younger children playing T-Ball. The
land can be used as the match for the grant as long as it is dedicated to be a city
park and the city does not hold title to it. The grant is due by July 1 sc and the parks
department will find out if they received the grant by December or January. A
motion to authorize the grant application will move on to City Council on Consent
Agenda.
Legislative Task Force
1. Draft Governing Ordinance—There is a"red" line version in the packet as well
as a clean copy. It made sense to re-order the Ordinance for readability.
There are provisions in this document that are duplicated from other sources. They
are restated or paraphrased in this document and it should be sited that they come
from another source.
There was discussion about the time limits not being for Committee of the Whole
so there is still an ability for free flowing discussion.
Under the meeting standards for the Mayor, it is unclear on the number of times a
person may speak. All Alderman should have equal amounts of time to speak.
Alderwoman Burd said this ordinance was meant to streamline the meetings and
resolve some of the conflicts that had arisen. It also defines the relationship
between the staff and Aldermen.
Alderwoman Burd thought the ban on cell phone usage during meeting should be
moved from Ethical Standards to Meeting Standards.
Under Duties and rights of the Aldermen, a new A should be:to enforce the laws
of the city, and a new B should be: to be provided with clear and unbiased
information. The former A and B should be pushed back to C and D.
There was discussion about Aldermen putting an item on an Agenda.
Documentation or at least a synopsis for the item to be added to an Agenda should
be in to the City by the Friday before the meeting. The Aldermen wanted the
sponsor's name on the Agenda item.
There was discussion about whether or not the item could come up for a vote the
first time it was on an Agenda.
Under Ethical Standards,L. should start with Shall.
Under Meeting Standards it should say applicable to City Council meetings. D.
should be made clear that one Alderman may request the Council to recognize a
person to speak.
Under Meeting Standards,the sub-heading of Aldermen E. should be a super
majority vote.
There should be an addition under Standing Committees that no Alderman will
hold the chair of any 1 committee more than 1 time in 4 years.
There was discussion about the assignment of liaisons. Typically this has been
done on a volunteer basis. They do not necessarily have to go to every meeting
that Board has,the liaison is the"point person"for that board.
There will be one more re-write. This will come back to COW on June 20`s.
Page 5 of 6
Public Works Committee:
1. PW 2006-114 Grande Reserve—Kennedy Road Improvements—This is a bill
from NiCor to relocate a gas main from Freedom Dr. out along Kennedy Rd. The
cost would be paid with fees for the road improvement. NiCor will not schedule
any of the work until the bill is paid. Alderman Besco asked if this should have
been funded by the developer. The developer has front funded the money for the
roads. In the future developers should be locate any easements not in the Right of
Way. This will move on to City Council on Consent Agenda.
Public Safety Committee:
1. PS 2006-21 Trailer Ordinance—The Aldermen would like to add that if a truck
had to detach from the trailer anytime during the day they should apply safety
plackets or cones on or around the vehicle and put chucks on the wheels. The
trailer would have to be moved off the street before the end of the day. This will go
on to City Council with the new language on Consent Agenda.
2. PS 2006-26 Police Department 2005 Year End Analysis—This is a FYI. There
is no further action necessary.
Administration Committee:
1. Corlands—There is some land being held for the City in Grande Reserve by
Corlands so the City may use it for things such as the OSLAD Grant. There is a
tax advantage for a developer to donate to a 501 C organization, so they may be
willing to donate more than is required. The 3 year contract is due to expire soon.
There is a provision for 2 one year renewals. The renewal would be on July 11th.
The other option would be to set up a foundation to hold the land,but there is not
enough time to do that before the expiration of the contract. The paperwork will
be drawn up by the next COW and a foundation will be looked into for the future.
Additional Business
Alderman Besco said that since the Parking Ban has been repealed there have been
problems moving traffic in the City. He wondered if there could be designated
parking areas. If there was a parking ban on major and minor collector roads,that
would help move the traffic. A list of these roads will be made and brought to Public
Safety.
Alderman Munns wanted to make everyone aware that a warrant study had been done
at the intersection of Sycamore and Rt. 34,and a traffic signal is warranted. The
warrant study has been submitted to IDOT. The engineering should begin and the
City should look into finding the money for this signal during the mid-year budget
review.
Alderwoman Spears asked about an internship program with an engineering school.
An intern would not be able to perform the functions for the position in question,but
there will be a new intern coming over the summer to help with accounts payable and
billing.
Page 6 of 6
Diane Votava is a resident who was here because of the special meeting that was
going to take place,but was canceled. She was concerned about opening a road
through Fox Hill subdivision into a new subdivision. Fox Hill is a subdivision with
no sidewalks. Kids ride their bikes in the street and people walk in the street. Out of
the 82 homes in Fox Hill, 52 of them signed her petition not to open the road to
through traffic.
Joan Bernhjelm is a resident who said Poplar Rd. has been getting a lot of turnaround
traffic because there is another Poplar Rd. in River's Edge and the roads are not
clearly marked East and West or North and South.
Jill Schenk said her mailbox has been ripped off four times since she has lived there
because of the curve on the road. There are water issues in the neighborhood and
when they hit the water the cars hydroplane right into her yard. This has happened
five times since she has lived here. Her concern is that if the road were to open to
through traffic,this would happen a lot more. The residents would be happy to have
an emergency access with a gate. Mayor Prochaska said they will have more
opportunity to speak next week.
Mayor Prochaska said he had been notified about the property in question North of
Rt. 30, and the courts agree with Sugar Grove.
Mayor Prochaska said there is a local developer who has to remove trees from his
property and would like to relocate them to the parkway in Countryside. Everyone
was agreeable to this as long as it would be at the developer's cost.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:07 pm.

public hearing regarding the annexation about a year ago however it never came before the City
Council for a vote. The YBSD would like to construct a fence and would like to obtain United

21 WHEREUPON :
22 DANIEL J. KRAMER,
23 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
24 follows :
Depo Court Reporting Service ( 630 ) 983-0030
4
1 MR. KRAMER: Good evening . For the
2 record, my name is Daniel J. Kramer . I am an
3 attorney licensed to practice law in the State of
4 Illinois . My address is 1107A South Bridge
5 Street , Yorkville, Illinois , and I ' m here tonight
6 on behalf of Woodlands , Inc . and Meadowbrook
7 Homes , Inc .
8 They are the owners and
9 developers of a parcel of 161 . 5 acres that, if
10 you were driving southwesterly on Route 71 , right
11 across from Harris Forest Preserve you would see
12 a house that sits right about where this future
13 street is that has a horse corral around it ,
14 usually some horses and horse trailers , and right
15 at the eastern edge of the corral, if look to
16 your right when you are driving to the southwest ,
17 you will see just this narrow portion of land
18 that goes back into a cornfield, and that ' s all
19 my clients own that touch 71 . It ' s literally a
20 brief little 30 or 40 feet area to get back here .
21 They also touch the existing
22 city boundaries all along Sunflower and north
23 here along Greenbrier, and the extension of
24 Greenbrier Road on this heavy black east to west
Depo Court Reporting Service ( 630 ) 983-0030
5
1 line would again provide contiguity and the
2 immediate access to the property .
3 Basically we are here for
4 public hearing tonight on a draft of the
5 annexation agreement that we have been working
6 with staff on that we are going to keep working
7 between now and next week. It ' s part of that
8 group of six sequentially that would get the
9 other properties further out served by sanitary
10 sewer and water .
11 We are right adjacent to those
12 utilities now, so, again, we are going to be
13 asking the city to annex the property, to zone it
14 R-2 for single-family residential district .
15 And this is a very preliminary
16 concept plan, it ' s certainty not up to
17 preliminary plat standards , but this is what we
18 showed the Plan Commission about a week and a
19 half ago .
20 The major points that we tried
21 to follow in the Comprehensive Plan is , again,
22 the extension of Greenbrier Road is a major
23 collector for the city, and also that north/south
24 heavy black line is another major collector that
Depo Court Reporting Service ( 630 ) 983-0030
6
1 ultimately would be the extension of Beecher, if
2 you go across the river and going north . So we
3 have met the Comprehensive Plan in those two
4 regards .
5 Another element that the Staff
6 asked Aladdin ' s family to observe was to make
7 those collectors no load; in other words, there
8 would be no driveways coming out with those, so
9 it ' s the idea of moving people through . We see
10 Greenbrier as part of this overall six
11 improvement being signalized at 47 .
12 I think anybody who lives there
13 now on Sunset would tell you they would hug you
14 as a City Council if you put a stoplight there .
15 71 , again, we are providing for
16 the ultimate flow of our street , but we don ' t own
17 the property and we have no intention of
18 hastening the demise of the horse farm there ,
19 they ' ll be there as long as they want to be, but
20 we will do a temporary access in here so that we
21 will have at least two means of ingress and
22 egress .
23 Ultimately if Williamsport was
24 developed with George Christy ' s property, we ' d
Depo Court Reporting Service ( 630) 983-0030
1 have another one here , as the properties to the
2 west develop , another one here , and we would
3 ultimately tie into Fox Lawn, although, again, we
4 don ' t want to encourage it as a major
5 thoroughfare because those are streets which
6 weren ' t built for a collector status .
7 So tonight we are here to
8 answer any questions you have as a council about
9 annexation generally, if we ' re not in the
10 basement , and any questions the audience might
11 have .
12 MS . BURD: Okay. Are there any
13 questions from anyone in the audience?
14 Questions?
15 (No Response)
16 MS . BURD : Anybody on the City
17 Council have any questions?
18 MR. BESCO: We saw this at EDC last
19 week and were pretty satisfied with the plans .
20 MR. KRAMER: Thank you . We ' d be
21 happy to have the public hearing closed if you
22 would be so kind.
23 MS . BURD : Okay. Somebody move to
24 close the public hearing?
Depo Court Reporting Service ( 630 ) 983-0030

1 MR . BESCO: So moved.

UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
Thursday,April 20,2006 7:00 pm
Beecher Center,Yorkville
CI'T'Y OFFICIALS IN ATTENDANCE:
Mayor Art Prochaska Police Chief Harold Martin
Alderman Dean Wolfer Alderman Jim Bock
Alderwoman Val Burd Alderman Marty Munns
Alderwoman Rose Spears Alderman Joe Besco
Interim City Administrator John Crois City Attorney John Wyeth
Assistant City Administrator Bart Olson
GUESTS:
See numerous guest lists for names of attendees.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the parking ban.
Prior to the start of the meeting,the Mayor asked attendees to clearly state their name,
address and concerns and for everyone to be respectful of others' opinions.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00pm by Mayor Art Prochaska. He said that he
would call people to the podium who had expressed a desire to speak publicly regarding
the parking ban.
The Mayor then introduced Mr. Crois and each of the Aldermen.
CITIZEN COMMENTS:
1. Carol Foster,Fox Hill Subdivision
Ms. Foster thanked the City Council for item"E"in the parking ordinance that addresses
"parking of second division vehicles". She stated that not enough time (6-7 weeks) had
been given to enforce the ordinance. She also said she personally worked out her parking
situation with neighbors. Also, some of her neighbors had been forced to clean out
garages. Her concern was that most City streets are not wide enough to park cars on both
sides and still allow emergency vehicles to pass. She asked who would be liable.
Mayor's Comments: An informal poll by the Mayor showed 28 people supported the
banning of larger vehicles on the streets. He said that emergency vehicles are able to
pass through streets where cars on parked on both sides.
Page 2 of 10
2. Karen Fisher
3. Bob Fisher
Comments could not be understood from tape.
4. Rich Johnson,801 Teri Lane
He said the ordinance was good for emergencies/burglary prevention etc.,however,he
said this is not Naperville and not Batavia. Though he is not personally affected by the
ban, his neighbors are because they own more vehicles. He said the ban creates
hardships and there are more important problems than parking.
Mayor's Comments: He restated Mr. Johnson's comments and said the residents think
the ban does not make sense in the hours given. An informal handcount showed 46
peopled agreed with this thought. Forty-eight people agreed that residents should not
have to ask neighbors about parking in their drives and 46 people agreed that taxpayers
should be able to park on the streets.
5. Roger Murphy, 803 Teri Lane
He had collected 450 signatures opposing the parking ban and that 90% of homes
contacted signed the petition. He added that some residents supported the ban, however,
he said he had no list for that. The age limit for the signators was 18 and over.
Alderman Munns interjected that 27 people had contacted him in support of the ban,
while Mr. Murphy said he never seen a list of supporters. Mayor Prochaska said he
appreciated Mr. Murphy's data and hard work.
6. Shelley Butler, 601 Teri Lane
Ms. Butler read a letter she had written to the Editor of the Kendall County Record She
presented various possible situations where the ban would be a hardship such as
blacktopping a drive,no curbs on street, residents of apartments and said the police
should be catching criminals. She felt the 3-day permit was not enough in the event of
overnight guests. Ms. Butler said what is next...telling residents they can't have garage
doors open? She also noted the parking ban regulations of neighboring towns.
She posed two questions: Why is there only a 3-night permit and why a car parked along
the curb creates a hazard. She added that the minutes of a December 13U' City meeting
were not yet on the internet.
Mayor Prochaska asked for a Safety Committee representative to address the reasons for
the ban. Alderwoman Spears said the proposed ban was initially brought forward by
former Alderwoman Ohare and it was originally intended for commercial vehicles.
When it came to the Public Safety committee last fall,the problem parking area in Fox
Hill was discussed and the thought was to address just that area. She said there were
problems with the current ordinance and she did not know how the cul-de-sac issue arose.
Page 3 of 10
Chief Harold Martin then addressed the attendees. He stated the cul-de-sac issue arose
when citizens wished to address that situation. He feels the ordinance should apply to all
and that there are positives and negatives. He feels the ordinance is a tool for the Police.
Approximately 40%of burglaries occur at night and the ban would assist the Police in
this prevention. He stated that the town does not have a serious burglary problem,
however, he wants to be prepared as the City grows. Overall, be said the Police
Department wishes to work with the residents and any unique situations.
An informal vote was then taken by the Mayor to determine how many agreed that
extended time(longer than 3 days)was needed in certain situations. The vote showed 54
people agreed. The same number agreed that they did not want to seek permission to be
able to park on the street in unique situations. A final survey asked if residents on
cul-de-sacs should have a special allowance to park. The vote showed 36 persons were
concerned with that.
7. Jeff Cheek, 177 Colonial Parkway
Mr. Cheek said he lives in a 4-tenant building with 8 parking spots. When he has guests,
they must leave before the parking ban begins. He cannot ask neighbors because they
have the same situation. He has no garage and cannot even bring his work vehicle home.
He added that if a family with driving-age children wished to buy one of those units,the
parking ban might deter them from living there.
Mayor's Comments: He said there are marked parking spaces on Colonial Parkway. He
asked for a poll as to whether or not special consideration should be given here and 20
responded yes.
8. Mr.Kelly Sedgwick, 400 Blaine St.
He said if the Police are getting computers in the squads,they could do a quick check to
determine if a car belongs in a given area. He added that not all burglaries occur between
1-6am. He said he was concerned about safety on curb & gutter streets where there
might not be adequate room for vehicles to pass with cars parked on both sides and that
busses had to alter their routes. He suggested that if there were a total parking ban, the
City should consider a sticker for a$5 fee and make it valid for two years. In the case of
narrow streets,he suggested a parking ban on one side and keep the fire hydrant side
clear.
Mayor's Comments: He asked for a show of hands of those who agreed to a sticker and
21 responded favorably. Likewise, 17 people agreed with parking on one side only.
Mayor Prochaska said he had previously made that suggestion.
Alderwoman Burd said she understood that on a"no curb" street,no parking was
allowed. However, cars can park there with all wheels off the roadway.

9. Andrea Litzhoff, 705 Teri Lane
She said her grandmother recently had passed away. As a result,many family members
came to Yorkville and parked on the street overnight. She said residents cannot plan
ahead for such events.
10. Joe Barry, 502 Teri Lane
Mr. Barry stated that he was totally opposed to the ban. Ten years ago, he said, parking
big vehicles was the issue and now all vehicles have been lumped into one category. He
asked about exploring the possibility of allowing parking on one side of the street and
that the Plan Commission should look at that when planning new subdivisions. New
development crowds homes in so tightly that the City Council needs to consider this. Mr.
Barry has six cars and would therefore need six permits to park on the street. This will be
an issue when college-age kids return home. He added that townhomes have only four
parking spots. He concluded by saying that citizens should not have to purchase a
permit.
Comments from Alderwoman Spears: Ms. Spears said that some citizens will not want
all the neighbors parking on their side of the street. She wondered if permits could be
moved from vehicle to vehicle. Also,the new Community Development Director is
proposing wider driveways in new developments.
Comments from Alderwoman Burd: Ms. Burd said she was interested in comments
regarding new street widths. In regards to townhomes, she said the City Council is
attempting to provide more open space and to define a solution.
Comments from the Mayor: The Building Department is looking at code issues that
address parking issues. Also, in one situation a home did not have a driveway. He asked
for a show of hands for those in favor of individual streets being considered for night
parking. That resulted in 46 in favor.
11. Dale Woodworth, no address given
He said his street is 32 feet wide. (The remainder of his comments are not discernible).
12. Traci Pleckham, no address given
She had written a letter asking for repeal of the ordinance because she said there is no
evidence of more crime or safety issues between the hours of the ban. Also, she said,
"hardship"is not defined and that residents should be able to decide what is in their
garages. She said that allowing parking on cul-de-sacs could cause conflict.
13. Larry King, 900 Spring St.
Mr. King said that there were some issues with commercial vehicles, specifically a truck
and trailer parked the wrong way on Somonauk Street,however,he said there is no proof
that the ban reduces crime. He said that in some new subdivisions there are covenants
that allow only two cars in a driveway at a time—how is that handled? Mr. King had
spoken with some of his neighbors and they did not know who their aldermen are or have
Page 5 of
knowledge of the parking ban or other issues. He asked aldermen to vote with their
wards, not their own opinions.
14. Mary Unterbrunner,418 Jackson St.
Ms.Unterbrunner had researched how the ban originated and found that three citizens of
Fox Hill had approached the Public Safety committee in 2005 regarding a commercial
vehicle parked on the street. She referred to the minutes of that meeting and other
meetings where the issue was discussed. She said her family had tires slashed and their
car burglarized while parked in the driveway. Ms. Unterbrunner also commented on the
cost and time to implement and address certain areas and also additional signage needed.
For an ordinance that affects so many, she said more public input is needed before a
decision is made. This ordinance restricts freedom without specific reasons, according to
her and she asked that it be repealed except for trucks and problem areas. She
commented that she had sent emails in opposition and that she found no phone numbers
for her Aldermen. She then posed the question to each alderman as to why they had
voted in favor of the ban.
Comments from the Aldermen regarding above question:
Alderman Besco: He said the majority of callers were in favor of the ordinance and
none opposed until this meeting when he received one negative phone call. He stated his
phone number is on his business card at City Hall and that his home phone is listed.
Alderman Wolfer: He voted yes based on information he had at that time and that no
one had spoken against it until it took effect.
Alderman Munns: He supported the ordinance in response to trucks in Fox Hill. He
said he would change his vote if hardships could be proved,but would not do so if it were
merely an inconvenience.
Alderwoman Burd: She said she was not on the committee that oversaw the action,
however,the Chairman was in favor of it. She also said she had received no negative
mail or comments and her ward had originally not been affected like Fox Hill.
Alderwoman Spears: She had not voted on this issue. Ms. Spears also thanked the
citizens who had taken the informal survey and collected signatures. She stated she votes
according to the opinions of her ward. Since the ban was passed, she has had 25 emails
all opposed to the ban.
Alderman Bock: He stated the ordinance was initiated by his predecessor Ms. Ohare
and he has just assumed the position in the last two months and did not vote on the
ordinance. Mr. Bock said that the input he had received supported the ban and later he
received some negative emails. All the aldermen are willing to listen tonight and he felt
the ordinance was well-intentioned. He said the City Council is just trying to look out for
the general safety of the residents. He suggested that perhaps there was not enough
publicity about the ordinance.
15. Joyce Barrett, Fox Hill
She thanked the City for the ban and said that many citizens had received warnings at the
beginning, after which, garages were cleaned and cars parked inside. She is now able to
Page 6 of 10
have her newspaper delivered in the evening and her neighborhood appears residential
once again.
16. Jean McBride,Fox Hill
Ms. McBride had attended City meetings where the parking ban was discussed and she
said the information was publicized in the newspapers. She felt the City Council was
wrongly attacked. Citizens should show respect and be more in touch with the City
government. In her neighborhood she has noticed multiple families residing in one house
with their garages filled with furniture. The neighbors do not appreciate noise from
partygoers and the ban has improved that situation. She would like to see the parking ban
remain in effect.
17. William Sikorski, 1901 Candleberry Lane
He stated he had no problem with the ban and would like to see the ordinance stay in
effect until the election. He would like to hear more feedback.
This concluded the speakers who signed up indicating their desire to speak. Mayor
Prochaska asked if others wished to speak at this meeting.
18. Jeff Dobbin, Colonial Parkway
He asked if a vote could be taken to see how citizens feel about this ordinance.
Comments from the Mayor: He asked for an informal show of hands for a referendum
regarding the ban and 45 citizens and 2 Aldermen favored this approach.
19. Dick Carlson,Jackson St.
He is in favor of the ordinance and added that Plano has such an ordinance also. He said
many people buy homes in Yorkville with no thought given to where they would park
their cars at night. One of his neighbors parked on the street overnight and his car was
hit.
20. Dan Pickert, Teri Lane
He said he has been a resident for 17 years. He bought an expensive home on an
expensive street and at that time,knew he could park his car on the street.
21. Michelle Graff, 1334 Walsh
Ms. Graff had called the Mayor and her Aldermen. Her Aldermen said they had received
many positive calls regarding the ban. With the population at 11,000, she felt the
Aldermen were voting on the basis of a small number of residents. She also felt that a
headline in the Kendall County Record was misleading regarding the parking ban. Ms.
Graff felt the City resources were not being used wisely for the enforcement of this ban.
She asked that the City Council reconsider the ban and also consider the petitions
received.
Page 7 of 10
22. Jean Case??,212 Countryside Center
She stated her family has six vehicles and even has an enlarged driveway. Her neighbor
also has six cars and sometimes there is no choice but to park on the street.
23. Dave Oslid??,510 Hawthorn Ct.
He stated he was in favor of the ban at first and that some vehicles were parked 4-6
months at a time. If it was rescinded, he wondered what action could be taken in such
situations.
24. Tony Graff, 1334 Walsh Dr.
He also requested the repeal of this ordinance. He said 70%of the residents commute
and he asked the City to study other communities who had passed the ordinance. Mr.
Graff also requested fairness when applying the ordinance and said there are currently
many exceptions. Many laws are already on the books and he requested those be
enforced first. He also questioned if this is a good use of the 9-1-1 center. And, he
added that police officers like clear instructions regarding ordinances. In conclusion, he
suggested a referendum to compromise.
Comments from Alderwoman Spears: She said she had spoken with the police officers
and they indicated they had no problem with this ordinance. Chief Martin had also
spoken with his officers.
25. Robin Sterkel,204 W. Countryside Dr.
Ms. Sterkel asked how many ordinances are passed in a given year. Mayor Prochaska
thought approximately 12 are passed. She asked why the Aldermen had not canvassed
the residents and felt a controversial decision had been made without input.
Comments from Aldermen:
Alderwoman Burd: She stated she did not go out into the community and that the
Council must rely on residents to read the paper. If no input is received from citizens,
then she is OK with the proposals and must use her judgment. She also received no
phone calls opposing the ordinance at that time.
Alderman Wolfer: He stated there is not adequate time to poll the residents. Also,
residents are welcome to come to Public Safety meetings to express their opinions.
Alderman Wolfer also said that the Council members do care about the issues and that
residents can contact them by email or phone.
Alderman Besco: He agreed it is difficult to canvass everyone because the Council
members hold jobs and have businesses. He received 30 calls in support of the ban and
only two in opposition. Public meetings are publicized.
Mayor Prochaska: The Mayor said he talks with people to ask about specific issues and
conducts "Coffees with the Mayor"to hear residents' concerns. He also tries to address
individual situations.
Page 8 of 10
Alderwoman Spears: She said she and Alderwoman Bard have contacted people in their
wards and people from other wards have also contacted them. Aldermen represent the
entire City. And she added that the Mayor only votes as a tie-breaker.
26. Bob Provancher, Spring St.
He has lived here 15 years and is opposed to the ban. He said a vote should be taken on
the ordinance and that 20-30 emails in favor of the ordinance are not a good
representation.
27. Karen Fisher, Fox Hill
Ms. Fisher supports the ban for semis and if the ban is rescinded for cars, she asked how
it would affect semi parking.
28. Carol Foster, Fox Hill
She said when she and two others began attending committee meetings, they were
concerned about 18 vehicles that parked on the streets for days at a time. This made for
poor visibility. She added that anyone can attend the public meetings and she wished
more had attended when the discussions were held regarding the parking ban.
29. Lynn Unterbrunner, 418 Jackson
Mr. Unterbrunner said that initially citizens wanting a parking ban did not want a ban on
cars.
30. Roger Murphy, 803 Teri Lane
He stated section A of the ordinance prohibits parking on City streets from 1-6am, except
on City streets with no curbs. He said the ban should be repealed except for trucks or
there should be a vote taken. He added that each of the persons attending this meeting
seem to have a personal issue regarding the ban.
Comments from City personnel:
Alderwoman Burd said there is an ordinance on the books for streets with no curbs and
that there is to be no parking on curbless streets.
Alderman Wolfer: Vehicles can park on the grass on curbless streets,however,no tires
can be on the street.
Mayor Prochaska: He had spoken with the Attorney and there is in fact, an ordinance
stating that cars cannot park on curbless streets.
31. Mary Unterbrunner
Ms. Unterbrunner said that this issue has affected so many people and that the truck issue
should be separate from other vehicles. She said at a meeting last summer 10 people
spoke and of those, 8 people opposed the ban. She felt that was a poor representation.
Clear reasons are needed for the ban and the ban should be repealed while addressing the
truck issue. She also noted 18 ordinances were passed between 12-13-05 and 1-24-06.
Page 9of10
32. Joyce Barrett
Ms. Barrett said that citizens should attend meetings,learn the process and do homework!
All meetings are open to the public and the agendas are published. She said it was
counterproductive to express opinions after decisions are made.
33. Jeff Dobbin
Residents can't even have guests because of the ban!
This concluded the comments from the attendees at 9:40pm.
Mayor Prochaska then asked for a show of hands of the 50-60 people attending, for the
following three issues:
1. Keep the ordinance as is: (3 people supported)
2. Modify ordinance and remove cars, but address trucks/semis: (32 supported)
3. Repeal all: (12 supported)
All Aldermen were then asked to make comments:
Alderman Jim Bock: He thanked everyone for coming. He said the three issues gave a
good indication of the citizens' opinions,however, the Council could not please
everyone.
Alderwoman Rose Spears: She thanked the audience for their input.
Alderwoman Valerie Burd: Ms. Burd thanked everyone and added that the Council
members make many decisions over the years. Some residents may not always be aware
of all the issues and the Council members must use their own judgment. She is in favor
of putting this on a ballot and that it would be a fair way to make a decision.
Alderman Marty Munns: He said he favors the ban and that it would be discussed
again at a City Council meeting,but it would be fair to put it on a ballot.
Alderman Dean Wolfer: Mr. Wolfer thanked everyone for attending and he applauded
their efforts. He said this is how government should work and he would consider putting
this matter on a ballot for a vote.
Alderman Joe Besco: He thanked everyone for attending and said if people don't speak
up,the Council members do not know their wishes. A street is made to move traffic and
if something is hindering that flow, it must be addressed. He is OK with a ballot,but he
wants the Police to be able to do their job. The community is growing and he wants to
make sure everyone is safe. He encouraged the citizens to call the Aldermen.
Page 10 of 10
Mayor Art Prochaska: The Mayor thanked all for coming and for their input. He will
ask that this issue be put on the next C.O.W agenda to amend this ordinance. The Public
Safety committee should also consider the referendum possibility and draft verbage for it.
He encouraged the citizens to contact their Alderman with their input. The next C.O.W.
is on May 2"d at 7pm and all are welcome to attend. He added that warnings will be
given until any action is taken.
The town meeting concluded at 9:55pm.

and equipment and materials necessary for the maintenance thereof, landscaping, wetland
mitigation and tree installation, costs for land and easement acquisitions or dedications relating
to any of the foregoing improvements, required tap-on and related fees for water or sanitary
sewer services and other eligible costs.

within forty (40) years from the date of their issuance. The bonds shall be retired by the levy of
an annual tax established pursuant to a special tax roll to pay the interest on such bonds as it falls
due and to discharge the principal thereof at maturity and to pay the costs of administration and
maintenance of the special service area, said tax to be levied upon all taxable property within the
proposed special service area.
