best interest into account and he felt his concerns were confirmed tonight by statements made by

brought forward in such a quick manner. He felt that the focus should be that the City has a say
in any future matt ers.

10 here representing the petitioner this evening?
11 WHEREUPON :
12 ROBERT NELSON,
13 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
14 follows :
15 MR. NELSON : Mr . Mayor, Honorable
16 Members of the City Council . Good evening . My
17 name is Robert Nelson . I am an attorney-at-law
18 and representing the Bornemans , Neil Borneman,
19 Beverly Borneman and Craig Borneman, with respect
20 to their application to this Council for approval
21 of an agreement to annex their land to the City
22 of Yorkville .
23 The Bornemans are the owners of
24 approximately 255 acres of farmland which is
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
10
1 situated at the intersection of Illinois Route 71
2 and Highpoint Road in Fox Township .
3 That land is currently
4 contiguous with the City limits, and by virtue of
5 the statute for a right , the owners do have the
6 privilege of bringing to you their petition to be
7 annexed to the City of Yorkville .
8 On their behalf, yesterday I
9 filed with the City Attorney -- and I will
10 mention to the Board this evening that although
11 the annexation petition suggests that they are
12 seeking a zoning classification for a special use
13 for a gasoline service station, the owners have
14 withdrawn that request and would like to
15 acknowledge that on the record .
16 This property is currently used
17 for farming . It is zoned agriculture under the
18 County zoning ordinance .
19 Under the proposed agreement
20 for annexation, the owners are seeking a change
21 in the zoning classification with one respect .
22 They wish to have the zoning on the property,
23 should be it be annexed, rezoned to show that not
24 less than 55 acres be classified as business B-3 ,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
19
1 and this application is consistent with the
2 published Comprehensive Plan with the City of
3 Yorkville .
4 It would not be against the
5 City' s interest to consider assigning formally in
6 this agreement the classification for business ,
7 which it has already designated for public
8 purposes in its Comprehensive Plan .
9 The balance of the property
10 would have under the annexation agreement an
11 agricultural zoning classification .
12 Both of these classifications
13 are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan . The
14 agricultural use, of course, is less intense than
15 a residential use, and the property would qualify
16 for a residential use again under the
17 Comprehensive Plan .
18 This property falls within the
19 far southwesterly reaches of the City, as it is
20 expanding in that direction .
21 I believe that annexing this
22 property to the City is consistent with the
23 long-range goals of the City to bring in
24 properties that will be productive and useful for
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
12
1 all the citizens for some time to come .
2 There will be obviously in that
3 part of the City some major improvements planned
4 for the near future, one, of course, being the
5 Prairie Parkway, which is intended to pass a
6 short distance to the west of this intersection,
7 and also there is the proposed extension of the
8 Eldamain highway from the north side of the Fox
9 River, across the river, and then south to
10 Route 71 .
11 Those are two main arteries
12 that would be in the proximity of this particular
13 property, and it would be to the advantage of the
14 City to have access to those particular routes .
15 I do believe that each of you
16 has received a copy of an annexation agreement
17 proposal .
18 I want to mention that in
19 review of it I have discovered an error on the
20 first page . I brought this to the attention of
21 the City Attorney .
22 It is mentioned that the
23 property fell within the Fox and Little Rock Fire
24 Protection District , when, in fact, it does fall
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
13
1 within the Bristol-Kendall District , and I have
2 actually redone the first page and have copies of
3 those for substitution for the copies of the
4 agreement that we have delivered to you
5 heretofore .
6 The change is not -- does not
7 affect jurisdiction of the Council to proceed in
8 my opinion, it is only really a clerical
9 adjustment to the agreement .
10 At this time I am open to any
11 questions by the Council with respect to the
12 provisions of the annexation petition and the
13 agreement to annex .
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay. The only
15 thing I ' m going to ask, Travis, is there
16 anything -- any clarification you would like to
17 make before we open up the floor to the
18 petition ---- to the public, anything for the
19 Council?
20 MR. MILLER: Just a couple quick
21 items . Report to you the Plan Commission did
22 conduct a public hearing last evening .
23 The Staff report that was
24 prepared for the Plan Commission was in the Plan
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
14
1 Commission packet . We produced those for you
2 this evening . They are on your desk tonight .
3 Going through that quickly,
4 basically just reporting the outcome of the
5 recommendation from the Plan Commission last
6 night , there was a unanimous recommendation to
7 annex the property, and zoning was not
8 recommended, but the vote was three in favor and
9 four against and one present on the -- this
10 annexation and zoning request .
11 In terms of the zoning request,
12 the petitioner has stated a portion of the
13 property to exceed 55 acres as written in the
14 zoning agreement for B-3 zoning classification,
15 Exhibit D to the annexation agreement was also in
16 the Plan Commission packet, it ' s the colored
17 document, that shows the plat of annexation, and
18 the area designated on the plat of annexation on
19 the southwest corner of the property is
20 consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
21 recommendation for commercial land use .
22 The remaining property, as
23 stated by the petitioner stated in the annexation
24 agreement, is requested for agricultural zoning
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
15
1 classification A-1 .
2 The Comprehensive Plan does
3 recommend an estate residential , low density
4 residential land use, and as you read through the
5 Staff report , their request for A-1 is less
6 intensive than the Comprehensive Plan
7 recommendation, which also includes transitional
8 neighborhood, as well as estate residential .
9 Although consistent with the
10 Comprehensive Plan, it is an appropriate zoning
11 classification, at this point in time the
12 property will not develop at the -- being
13 requested as part of this given the agricultural
14 activities existing at this point .
15 With that , also in the Staff
16 report straight out of the ordinance were
17 findings necessary for a zoning map amendment .
18 I ' m just calling your reference to that as the
19 Staff reports this evening .
20 If there is any questions , I
21 can answer those .
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . With that ,
23 I ' m going to open up the floor for any comments .
24 Now, the one thing I will ask
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
16
1 and, number one, like I said before, come
2 forward, state your name and address for the
3 record.
4 We do have someone taking a
5 transcript here this evening, and I would ask
6 also that -- you know, I know we had a lot of
7 applause and stuff last night .
8 Couple things . Number one,
9 while people were talking, they were not able to
10 be heard, so it ' s very rude to the people talking
11 and to the people that are trying to take notes .
12 So, please, I ' m going to ask
13 you not to do that and respect everybody ' s right
14 to have an opinion to talk, and then we ' ll move
15 on and hopefully move through this process .
16 So with that , I will open up
17 the floor . Sir, you are first up .
18 WHEREUPON :
19 RANDALL MEZGER,
20 testified before the Yorkville City council as
21 follows :
22 MR. MEZGER: Good evening,
23 Mr . Mayor, Council members . My name is Randy
24 Mezger . I am vice-president of Sundown Homes .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
17
1 Sundown Homes is a family-owned company operated
2 out of Yorkville .
3 Recently we purchased Highpoint
4 Meadows , which is on the southern portion of the
5 Borneman property.
6 We purchased this from Carol
7 Albert , who has various dealings with the
8 village .
9 My question to the Council I
10 guess is what are we supposed to do with our
11 40-acre estate-zoned lots when there is going to
12 be B-3 business over here right next to it?
13 What do you guys suggest we do
14 with our property with this zoning change?
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Does anybody want
16 to -- I can answer the fact that in the City
17 ordinances , there is a provision for -- when
18 there are unlike land uses for buffering and
19 landscaping between those land uses , and it would
20 be the responsibility of those having the B-3
21 zoning that should and when that should develop
22 that they would have to meet that criteria and
23 buffer their property in accordance with the
24 ordinances to the residential properties .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
18
1 MR. MEZGER: But as far as any
2 Being this came up in May and we purchased the
3 property on August 15th, I just don ' t see how
4 this can be okay. I guess that ' s my concern .
5 In May when I was told that --
6 MR . MUNNS : No, the sound quality .
7 Every time he talks, something is rattling and
8 it ' s interfering with the audio .
9 MR. MEZGER: It was my understanding
10 that back in May is when Bornemans were invited
11 to, you know, become a part of this for the
12 zoning to be changed, and we purchased in August .
13 I just don ' t see how we can
14 have estate-sized, you know, houses being built
15 here with B-3 in our back yard. I guess that ' s
16 my concern .
17 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Who is next? Who
18 else would like to come forward? Way back, sir ,
19 Please come forward.
20 WHEREUPON :
21 PAUL BANKS ,
22 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
23 follows :
24 MR. BANKS : My name is Paul Banks .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 9830030
19
1 I live on West Highpoint right next to the
2 Borneman property .
3 On this berms and landscaping
4 that he asked about, what ' s that going to do to
5 my property and my well that I have right there?
6 How is that going to stop gas ,
7 oil, whatever runs from that gas station?
8 And another point . Why were
9 the Bornemans asked and not everybody that lives
10 around that area in those subdivisions? We were
11 never approached .
12 Thank you .
13 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Again, the special
14 use for the gas station is not -- has been
15 removed, so that is not on the agenda .
16 Is there someone else? Yes ,
17 sir .
18 WHEREUPON :
19 RON PARISH,
20 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
21 follows :
22 MR. PARISH : First of all, Ron
23 Parish, I live at 11571 Route 71 , and that ' s the
24 property as you start out on 71 maybe a mile from
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
20
1 the location of the said property that we are
2 talking about .
3 I guess I ' ve got a couple of
4 objections . I ' m going to say one now about this
5 property .
6 The first thing I want to say,
7 I think all of this property is about the
8 landfill, and that ' s what we ' re really here
9 about . We ' re not here about annexing property
10 into Yorkville .
11 If Yorkville was interested in
12 improving Yorkville, then we would start with
13 Highway 47 . Highway 47 has been an abomination
14 to the entire city for over 50 years , and if
15 we ' re going to do something with Yorkville , let ' s
16 start cleaning it up where it needs to be cleaned
17 up, not put traffic on another highway that still
18 can ' t take the traffic that ' s out there .
19 Second of all, the Bornemans
20 have not said what they want to do with this
21 commercial property, and I can ' t see how we can
22 turn it into a B-3 class property or any type of
23 property if we don ' t know what they ' re going to
24 use it for .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
21
1 I , for one, live there , I have
2 a well , and I don ' t know what ' s going to happen
3 with the property out there with everything that
4 you ' re trying to change and what ' s going to
5 happen with the water .
6 If you break through in one
7 place out there , you ' re going to put sulfur in
8 most of the people ' s wells that ' s up and down the
9 highway, and that ' s already happened once before .
10 I don ' t think there ' s been
11 anything done other than trying to lank this
12 land. I , too, was never approached by anybody to
13 link this up going out there . Mine is the one
14 white spot on 71 .
15 I don ' t want in the City until
16 the City can repair what it already has , and I
17 think that we need to know what ' s going to be
18 built there before it can be improved for
19 anything .
20 I can see no reason why it
21 should be annexed into the City just to be
22 annexed in to make another third link to get to a
23 landfill .
29 Thank you .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
22
1 (Applause)
2 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . I am
3 going to ask you one more time . All right .
4 We ' re not -- We can stop this meeting very
5 quickly .
6 Now, I don ' t mind people
7 talking, I will listen to anybody ' s concerns and
8 everybody ' s opinions , but we will respect the
9 fact that this is -- we ' re going to move this
10 meeting along .
11 Now, is there someone else that
12 would like to come up and speak on this
13 particular property? Yes , sir .
14 WHEREUPON :
15 TODD MILLIRON,
16 testified before the City Council as follows :
17 MR. MILLIRON : Todd Milliron,
18 61 Cotswold Drive, Yorkville .
19 I ' m coming to you tonight not
20 only to talk about this one property, but I would
21 like to talk about all three of them together,
22 but my first discussion is about the process , and
23 I have some real concerns about this process , and
24 I ' ve got a prepared statement I would like to
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
23
1 read .
2 1 believe -- I believe this is
3 a City Staff prearranged domino annexation
4 agreement that stinks .
5 You are elected to represent
6 all the people , not the self--serving profit
7 motives of one .
8 There is supposed to be some
9 balance and a sense of fair play within the
10 public hearing process, and that is something
11 missing from tonight ' s proceedings .
12 We ' re only here tonight because
13 Art Prochaska and the City Staff decided to offer
14 very lucrative zoning candy to two adjoining
15 property owners . This chain of property owners
16 leads to the Hamann landfill property .
17 How this deal was put together
18 behind closed doors without the normal fair
19 debate and a normal hearing process time tables
20 should have all of you asking questions of why
21 this vote is being called on such short notice .
22 Why is the City trying to slide
23 all these annexations and zoning through under
24 the rug on a ramrod timetable?
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
24
1 It ' s not fair to the citizens
2 of Yorkville or this County. You are -- As a
3 Council member said, this is a fair process , but
4 preferential treatment has been given to these
5 three property owners that are here tonight, and
6 you are naive and uninformed about the true
7 motive behind the end game of annexing and zoning
8 all these four properties .
9 This is supposed to be a
10 democracy with rules and procedures for all, and
11 all have been broken in this case .
12 From the date of the public
13 notice to this vote tonight has only been 19
14 days .
15 This is not an emergency
16 annexation where a great public need is being
17 addressed for the good of all citizens .
18 The only emergency is
19 Mr . Hamann has lost out in the bidding
20 competition of the current County landfill site
2I process .
22 There is a need for a
23 landfill -- landfill site in this county, but at
24 present there is only need for one and only one,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
25
1 not two . We don ' t need one in the City and the
2 County .
3 These three property owners are
4 being given preferential
5 go-to-the-head-of-the-line treatment .
6 Most folks wait for months for
7 you to vote ; they are not given a hearing date
8 and vote in 19 days from the time of the
9 application and public notice .
10 The normal application takes
11 six to nine months , and your City Staff will tell
12 you that when somebody comes to annex a property,
13 they instruct those annexation petitioners this
14 process takes six to nine months , maybe more, not
15 19 days .
16 (Applause)
17 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right .
18 MR. MILLIRON : I ' m not done . Is
19 this better than the other developers that these
20 property owners get to go to the head of the
21 line?
22 I say reject all four petitions
23 for zoning and annexation tonight , make each and
24 every one of them involved here tonight start the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
26
1 process over, if they want to go through the
2 process , without being solicited by the City, and
3 let it go on a normal schedule for doing normal
4 City business without any zoning candy being
5 handed out to adjoining property owners to
6 connect this chain of property to the Hamann
7 landfill property.
8 Thank you .
9 (Applause)
10 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there someone
11 else that would lake to come forward?
12 MR . MUNNS : Make a motion to end if
13 we continue to have applause after every speaker
14 because we ' ll be here until 3 : 00 in the
15 morning -- we asked you once now -- so I 'm going
16 to make a motion in this meeting now unless all
17 the clapping and cheering ceases right now .
18 THE AUDIENCE : We can ' t hear you .
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: There was a motion
20 made to end the meeting if the applause is going
21 to continue after every speaker .
22 MR. BESCO: I ' ll second that .
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: The motion has
24 been made and seconded. The motion is that if
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
27
1 there is to be applause after every speaker that
2 there is a desire to end the meeting .
3 And with that I would ask for a
4 roll call, please .
5 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : Wolfer .
6 MR. WOLFER: No .
7 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : James .
S MR. JAMES : No .
9 THE AUDIENCE : We can ' t hear .
10 MAYOR PROCHASKA: They are taking
11 roll call vote .
12 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : Munns .
13 MR. MUNNS : Aye .
14 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : Burd .
15 MS . BURD : No .
16 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : Spears .
17 MS . SPEARS : No .
18 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : Bock .
19 MR. BOCK: Nay .
20 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : Besco .
21 MR . BESCO : Aye .
22 MS . MILSCHEWSKI : Leslie .
23 MR. LESLIE : No .
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: That motion fails
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
28
1 on a vote of five -- six to two, so we will
2 continue .
3 And I am still asking that you
4 please respect that . I think it ' s again a fair
5 and honorable thing to do before talking to move
6 through this .
7 Is there anyone else that would
8 like to speak on this property on this particular
9 public hearing?
10 MS . GILBERT : What did you just vote
11 on? I 'm sorry, we couldn ' t hear .
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: That was a request
13 to end -- to end the meeting if there was a
14 continuation of applause, and that was defeated .
15 MS . GILBERT : Okay.
16 MAYOR PROCHASKA: But I 'm still
17 asking people to hold that and allow the speakers
18 to speak as they need to .
19 Is there anyone else that would
20 come up and speak on this particular property?
21 Yes , sir .
22 WHEREUPON :
23 TOM GILMOUR,
24 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
29
1 follows :
2 MR . GILMOUR : My name is Tom
3 Gilmour, 23 Fox Glen Drive, and I ' m going to echo
4 basically several of the points that the two ,
5 three previous speakers made .
S Point-by--point from the
7 perspective of the City, we ' ve gone through a
8 similar situation in the past several years .
9 A point that seems to be an
10 argument from the perspective of the City is the
11 Comprehen -- City Comprehensive Plan .
12 I can speak that it wasn ' t that
13 important when our issue was at the table . Now
14 all of a sudden it ' s a guiding light for this
15 land grab to the west .
16 We don ' t understand any of the
17 applications for zoning change . If they continue
18 to keep these properties as they are , Ag-1 , we
19 all know what ' s happening to the building and
20 construction business , and in particular
21 Yorkville, that fiery pace has mellowed, and we
22 think this is way ahead of the actual needs for
23 the zoning change on this property .
24 Two, I want to speak as
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
30
1 representative of rural Kendall County residents
2 as a whole, and I ' m not talking about just around
3 Yorkville .
4 The issue and the objective for
5 this annexation impacts all of the people of
6 Kendall County, and it ' s not fair to have a City
7 come along and just because it ' s a flash of gold
8 in the pan cook up some scheme with Mr . Hamann,
9 who has already been a candidate in the County
10 process for his ulterior motive, which we all
11 know what it is .
12 We just think that there ' s
13 going to be a lot of people -- and we ' re talking
14 about Yorkville City residents -- that are going
15 to be looking at you Board members and what ' s
16 happening here tonight .
17 We all know what ' s going on
18 here and everybody is watching .
19 Thank you .
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there someone
21 else that would like to come forward and talk on
22 this item?
23 (No response)
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Seeing none, I
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
31
1 would entertain a motion to close this portion of
2 the public hearing --
3 UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER: Back
4 here .
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Way back there .
6 Sorry, sir, didn ' t see you . Come on up .
7 WHEREUPON :
8 JIM BIRCH,
9 testified before the City Council as follows :
10 MR. BIRCH : My name is Jim Birch, 17
11 Highview Drive, Yorkville .
12 And I urge all the Council
13 members to vote no on this . We all know that
14 this is just a way to get Hamann ' s property to be
15 annexed into the City.
16 The whole process is on a fast
17 track, and it stinks about as bad as Hamann ' s
18 recycling out there, and that ' s all I have to
19 say.
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Thank you,
21 sir . Is there anybody else out there?
22 (No Response)
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: If not, is there
24 comments from the Council? We ' ve got -- I ' m
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
32
1 sorry, ma ' am.
2 WHEREUPON :
3 SHARON WHITE,
4 testified before the City Council as follows :
5 MS . WHITE : Sharon White , 8417 West
6 Highpoint Road .
7 I have a couple of fact-finding
8 questions . Just out of curiosity, I would be
9 interested to know how many of the aldermen were
10 at last night ' s meeting, if I may ask. One, two .
11 Okay. Because last night ' s
12 meeting I think represented how many of us feel
13 about the zoning .
14 Also a question, too, about
15 annexing . If the property is annexed in, but the
16 zoning is defeated, as it was last night , what
17 then is the follow through if somebody wants to
18 take their property that has been annexed into
19 the City?
20 Can they come in again at the
21 next meeting, can they then ask for rezone -- or
22 the rezoning or the type of zoning or -- I don ' t
23 know what the process is .
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I ' m going to let
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
33
1 the attorney answer that .
2 MR . WYETH: The process before the
3 Council tonight involves an annexation agreement
4 as their first vote and then subsequent votes in
5 furtherance of that annexation agreement for
6 annexation and the zoning as spelled out in the
7 annexation agreement .
8 So a vote for the annexation
9 agreement is the beginning of the zoning change ,
10 and then the subsequent vote is the
11 formalization of that promise made in the
12 annexation agreement .
13 Does that answer your question?
14 MS . WHITE : Okay . So if the
15 zoning ---
16 MR. WYETH : They come --
17 MS . WHITE : The zoning that they
18 ask -- that they are requesting, if that is voted
19 down, can that not be asked for again?
20 MR. WYETH : Actually, your question
21 is stated out of order . The annexation agreement
22 would come first --
23 MS . WHITE : Okay .
24 MR. WYETH : -- and if that ' s
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
34
I approved, in that annexation agreement is a term
2 that says the zoning shall be changed .
3 Now, on the agenda you ' ll see
4 the two votes --
5 MS . WHITE : I meant zoning . I ' m
6 sorry . I meant zoning .
7 MR . WYETH : Yes . Two votes later
8 will be the zoning .
9 Does answer your question?
10 MS . WHITE : Yes . Okay . And with
11 respect to the committee, I think the best way to
12 describe the applause from the audience is each
13 person that ' s applauding to some people ' s
14 opinion, it would be each of those individuals
15 coming up and stating the same thing, so when we
16 applaud, we ' re letting you know that there is
17 many of us that feel the way the people -- what
18 the people are saying when they come up .
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay .
20 MS . WHITE : Okay? Thank you .
21 (Applause)
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there anyone
23 else that would like to come forward? Yes ,
24 ma ' am.

1 WHEREUPON :
2 SUE BARNES ,
3 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
4 follows :
5 MS . BARNES : Sue Barnes , 6165 Red
6 Gate Lane .
7 Since the major impact of all
8 this that you ' re trying to do impacts all of us
9 in unincorporated Yorkville and we didn ' t get to
10 vote for you as mayor, I just wonder why you feel
11 like you can do this when you know none of the
12 people in unincorporated want this .
13 Why would we want a dump? We
14 are already getting west winds blowing from some
15 manure process that ' s going on . Now we would
16 like a dump out there? And do we need more
17 trucks? I mean, come on . Let ' s be sensible
18 here .
19 And I am in total agreement ,
20 clean up the town of Yorkville, never mind
21 worrying about all of us out in unincorporated
22 Yorkville .
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . And to
24 answer your question is , as we have been told,
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
36
1 this process is a process for application, and
2 that application could be made to the County or
3 to the City, either one, and either group has to
4 look it from an objective point of view, however
5 it works , and my opinion has been -- and I 'm --
6 you know, again, my job is to represent the
7 people of Yorkville --
8 (Laughter)
9 MAYOR PROCHASKA: -- and the answer
10 is with any kind of site sited in that area,
11 whether it be the City or the County, the City is
12 still going to be impacted because the majority
13 of the trucking would come through the City
14 anyway, and if we look at how any -- basically
15 anywhere in the county, I would say that the City
16 of Yorkville sits on all the major highways, we
17 would have that .
18 All I ' m saying is in this
19 particular case I believe that the elected
20 officials at the City of Yorkville, because the
21 City of Yorkville would be so impacted, should
22 have the right to sit in judgment of the
23 application .
24 That is not to say that we
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 963-0030
37
1 would agree or disagree with it, it ' s just to sit
2 in judgment of that application . That ' s all that
3 we ' re looking at, should an application be made
4 on that property, should it be annexed to the
5 City.
6 Anyone else? Yes , ma ' am. Go
7 ahead .
8 MS . WHITE : Sharon White, B417 West
9 Highpoint Road .
10 In terms of the compost , I am
11 two farms over from the compost, and I can attest
12 to the odor . It is -- It ' s very penetrating . If
13 you have your windows closed, it doesn ' t matter .
14 It comes in the house .
15 I have had parties in the
16 backyard and people have left because the odor is
17 so strong . They can ' t stand it . It ' s sickening .
18 With that in mind, I can ' t help
19 but if this is just grass clippings and sticks
20 that are causing this odor, if we ' re going to be
21 getting all kinds of garbage, I can ' t imagine the
22 odor that would come from that .
23 And as far as the composting
24 goes, and with the odor, the health department,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
38
1 Marlon Hartman, I tease him that I have him on
2 speed dial , and it ' s very important for all of us
3 to call that smell it, no matter where you are
4 at , to call, because the odor is bad, and it ' s
5 all a part of the past showing what the future is
6 going to be like if the landfill is there . And
7 that ' s a big fear . Huge fear . And that ' s why we
8 can ' t have it in that area .
9 Highpoint is the highest point
10 in Kendall County . Why do we want to put a
11 landfill on there?
12 I invite anybody to come into
13 my driveway and look at my view in my back yard
14 and then say a landfill belongs there . It
15 doesn ' t . Not there, not Kendall County .
16 Thank you .
17 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Is there
18 anyone else that would like to speak on this
19 property?
20 Yes , sir, if you would like to
21 come forward again .
22 MR . BANKS : My name is Paul Banks .
23 I live on West Highpoint .
24 You answered my question about
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
39
1 the B-3, they took it off the table , but you
2 didn ' t answer me why no residential properties
3 were included in this annexation except for two
4 houses , a lot and a house, because they own
5 property across the street from me in the path of
6 the landfill .
7 Why was nobody else approached?
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Because they
9 are -- at that point in time the thought wasn ' t
10 that -- to ask those folks , and certainly you are
11 welcome to petition to the City if that ' s what
12 you choose to do . You would be welcome to do
13 that .
14 MR . BANKS : I sure wouldn ' t want to
15 do that , if this big Comprehensive Plan is to
16 bring the City of Yorkville out to that area, why
17 does it wind around all the houses and the houses
18 aren ' t included, no subdivision included?
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , if you look
20 at typically, the expansion of the City has
21 expanded around county subdivisions as the larger
22 lots and larger properties are brought in because
23 actually those properties are developed, and as
24 we look at the larger pieces of property, going
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 963-0030
40
1 with our Comprehensive Plan, we do not look to
2 force upon an existing owner what that would be .
3 Your property is what your
4 property is , and we look at the Comprehensive
5 Plan as it relates to the larger parcels that go
6 around it, so it just was not something that was
7 thought about .
8 MR. BANKS : But you ' re forcing the
9 City onto us . We ' re in the County. That ' s where
10 we want to be .
11 Why would you bring the City
12 all around our houses? What is that going to
13 benefit the City?
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , I think
15 every growth of the City that ' s a question, you
16 know, for growth for any city anywhere as it
17 continues to go, as it goes out beyond its
18 borders .
19 That ' s been a question that ' s
20 been for years , and it ' s a natural progression of
21 growth of the communities as they grow .
22 MR. BANKS : You know, we have houses
23 out there, we ' re not included, so I don ' t
24 understand, but thank you .

1 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there someone
2 else that would like -- Ms . Kramer .
3 WHEREUPON :
4 CHRISTINE KRAMER,
5 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
6 follows :
7 MS . KRAMER: Christine Kramer,
8 21 Cotswold Drive .
9 In reference to the annexation
10 agreements that we have been discussing, I happen
11 to know that fees generally are included,
12 Yorkville-Bristol Sanitary District , land cash
13 fees , your municipal building fees , development
14 fees , and annexation fees .
15 Are these included in the
16 annexation agreements or is the City waiving
17 these fees for these people that you have asked
18 to annex into the City?
19 And if they do have to pay
20 these fees , when would they be paid?
21 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Typically, as an
22 invitation -- and I ' m sure you know this , as your
23 husband helped write some of these agreements
24 that we ' ve had, initially as people are annexed,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
42
1 we do look at the annexation fees , if they are
2 invited, but all the other fees as far as the
3 school fees , the building fees , the land cash
4 fees , all that is done is they are detained until
5 such time as that property is developed, and then
6 they are due as per what is required as that
7 property develops for whatever it is .
8 I mean, again, a business area ,
9 we typically don ' t ask for land cash in part , but
10 we would for any residential area, and as that
11 area would develop, those fees would come due at
12 that time .
13 MS . C . KRAMER : Again, have you ever
14 annexed this large -- this many pieces of
15 business zoning that you ' re not going to get any
16 kind of fees from? Do you understand what I ' m
17 saying?
18 From Bornemans on down they are
19 asking for business, and you ' re not going to get
20 any money out of that?
21 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , we -- if
22 they develop it , the City would get the fees that
23 would be required at the time of development .
24 Yes . Before you go, there is a
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
43
1 gentleman here . Somebody else goes before there
2 is a second .
3 WHEREUPON :
4 ROBERT MUELLER,
5 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
6 follows :
7 MR. MUELLER: Robert Mueller, 581
8 Kelly Avenue in Yorkville .
9 Just some fact questions on the
10 property and other subsequent properties . I have
11 one question for whomever can answer .
12 The property has already been
13 sold and it ' s owned by somebody else , I don ' t
14 know if that ' s true or false .
15 For instance, I hate to jump
16 ahead, but the North Star parcel or whatever
17 that ' s owned by that -- those people or that body
18 already. Have these people already gone in to
19 the County and asked for rezoning?
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I don ' t know if
21 that ' s happened or not . That ' s not a part of
22 what we would be looking at dealing with . It
23 would be what they ask the City.
24 MR . MUELLER: Okay . I just wasn ' t
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 963-0030
44
1 sure how long this has been already out there and
2 if they have already approached the County for
3 zoning and it ' s been --
4 UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yes .
5 Yes, they have .
6 MR . MUELLER: Okay. So that ' s why
7 it ' s remaining A-1 Agricultural right now . Okay.
8 Thank you .
9 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes , ma ' am.
10 WHEREUPON :
11 JOANN GILBERT,
12 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
13 follows :
14 MS . GILBERT : JoAnn Gilbert, 8730
15 East Highpoint . I ' ll ask the question I asked
16 last night .
17 Do you have a Comprehensive
18 Plan that includes a landfill application?
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I don ' t know that
20 anyone has a Comprehensive Plan that includes
21 that . It ' s -- again, that ' s a --
22 MS . GILBERT : I don ' t mean a
23 Comprehensive Plan, I mean --
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Zoning? Is that
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
45
1 what they ' re asking about, the zoning?
2 MS . GILBERT : No . A solid waste
3 plan, excuse me . A solid waste plan that
4 includes a landfill .
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes , we do have a
6 Solid Waste Plan at the City. We ' ve had it
7 for -- I think it ' s been on record for about two
8 years .
9 MS . GILBERT : Okay. But you don ' t
10 have a solid waste coordinator other than this
11 administrator?
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: The code official ,
13 right . We have our code official . That ' s all we
14 have at this time, correct .
15 MS . GILBERT : And how much less is
16 the County fees for a landfill than a County --
17 the City versus the County?
18 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I -- I don ' t know .
19 MS . GILBERT : If we need to get an
20 application for a landfill , your fee versus the
21 County, are you that much cheaper?
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , the City ' s
23 fee is set up where there is an amount put down
24 and then, as it is worked down, they have to
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
46
1 replenish it, so there is always money there
2 regardless of how much it costs , it would be
3 required to always have money on deposit with the
4 City for the process to go through .
5 Am I correct , Mr . Attorney?
6 MR. WYETH : That ' s correct .
7 MS . GILBERT : What is your fee?
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . The
9 amounts -- The amounts we start with are
10 different, but the ultimate answer is that they
11 must have on deposit with the City as much money
12 as it takes to take the process through .
13 MS . GILBERT : What is your estimate
14 that this will cost?
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I don ' t have that
16 estimate at this time .
17 MS . GILBERT : Just a guesstimate .
18 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Anybody? No . I
19 guess nobody has an estimated cost .
20 (Laughter)
21 MAYOR PROCHASKA: But understand
22 that none of that is paid by the City . It is all
23 to be paid by the petitioner .
24 MS . BURD: Mr . Mayor, would you
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
47
1 answer a question?
2 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Sure .
3 MS . BURD: Could you explain the
4 fee?
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . The
6 down -- it ' s $ 100 , 000 --- the initial amount
7 required by the City is $100, 000 , and when it
8 drops below what is it, John, 50 or 25 , 000 , it
9 has to be replenished, so it always stays .
10 There is also an amount on
11 deposit with the City, and if they start with a
12 hundred and if it drops down, they have to
13 replenish that in order for the process to
14 continue . At all times there has to be made
15 money on deposit with the City .
16 MR. MUELLER: Do you know what the
17 initial amount if he applied to the County would
18 have been?
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I 'm not sure what
20 that number is . We have County officials here,
21 they can tell us .
22 MS . BARNHART : It ' s $500, 000 .
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . There you
24 go .
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 963-0030
48
1 MR . MUELLER: That ' s quite a bit of
2 difference .
3 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , again, we ' re
4 trying to stay on the Borneman property in
5 dealing with that property.
6 MR. MUELLER: I understand .
7 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes , sir .
8 MR. MILLIRON : Art, I heard last
9 night that Staff made the invitation to one of
10 the property owners that ' s not involved with the
11 Hamann properties and you personally made an
12 invitation to the other .
13 I would like you to explain to
14 your Council members the reasoning behind those
15 invitations and what is the reasoning for putting
16 all four of those properties together, please .
17 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , as I stated
18 that last night , and I just said it here earlier ,
19 the reason I did this is it is our understanding
20 that a petition is -- may be filed on that
21 property, and with the fact of its proximity to
22 the United City of Yorkville, it ' s been my
23 opinion that, in that case, it should be the
24 United City of Yorkville that is the group that
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
49
1 sits in judgment and looks over that application .
2 The only way that can happen is
3 if that property is annexed into the City . It ' s
4 as simple as that . All right .
5 WHEREUPON :
6 DERKE J. PRICE,
7 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
8 follows :
9 MR . PRICE : Mayor and City Council,
10 my name again is Derke Price . I am the special
11 attorney hired by you folks to assist you in the
12 process , and I just want to clean up one factual
13 statement .
14 The $500 , 000 deposit made under
15 the County siting ordinance is different than the
16 $100 , 000 deposit made under your siting
17 ordinance , but it is not a fee .
18 In both instances the County
19 has to refund the balance that is not used. The
20 County sits on the money and collects whatever
21 interest they get , as opposed to our process ,
22 where it ' s $100, 000 and replenished .
23 In terms of a range of how much
24 the process costs , the process can be as little
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
50
1 as $50 , 000 and it can be as much as $300 , 000 , or
2 even more, depending on the land purpose needs
3 and the contents .
4 But in this Circumstance we are
5 asking tonight, among other things , to change the
6 siting ordinance to include the number of places
7 the people can have input, and the $100 , 000
8 downstroke is intended to make sure that things
9 like audio tapes, public facilities , rent of
10 sufficient space to get it all done is done, and
11 in my experience doing this on behalf of
12 municipalities now for many years , that ' s a
13 sufficient amount to get started, it ' s a
14 reasonable amount .
15 And with the replenishing,
16 nobody is at risk and the County is not in any
17 superior position simply because they asked for a
18 giant deposit .
19 So that ' s the only difference .
20 It is not a fee, it is merely a deposit . I just
21 want that clear for the record .
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes , sir .
23 MR . MEZGER: My name is Randy Mezger
24 again .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
51
1 I just wanted to see if you
2 guys had any idea what type of businesses you
3 think will be out there if this zoning did pass ,
4 with that landfill potentially going out there,
5 who would actually want to operate out there with
6 the landfill a few acres away from them, if you
7 have any ideas .
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Anyone else want
9 to answer this? I can talk . I would suggest
10 that you take a ride up Kirk Road in the Batavia,
11 Geneva area .
1.2 I don ' t -- That ' s the only --
13 that ' s the first one that comes to my mind as
14 business areas around such development .
15 I don ' t know of any other areas
16 offhand. Maybe you do .
17 Yes, ma ' am.
18 MS . GILBERT : If you want to go by a
19 landfill that Don Hamann has run, 119th and
20 30th -- Route 30 . It stinks . It ' s closed, but
21 it stinks . There are no businesses .
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Did you --
23 MS . WHITE : I actually used to work
24 across the street from Settler ' s Landing, and
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
52
1 it ' s all manufacturing, big factories , and Gale,
2 the boy ' s home , the old boy ' s home .
3 There is nothing that -- to me
4 that would produce a nice revenue .
5 MS . GILBERT : Okay.
6 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I think there is
7 things , but that ' s okay. Ma ' am?
8 MS . BARNES : I just have one
9 question . If you did annex this property and --
10 would you put it to a vote then with the City of
11 Yorkville, whether the people of Yorkville want a
12 landfill? Could that be a possibility?
13 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Again, I think I
14 would defer this to the attorney on describing
15 the process .
16 MR. PRICE : A referendum is not a
17 permitted alternative . They did it in Glendale
18 Heights . Mr . Blazer, who was assisting the
19 County, was part of that process . Unfortunately,
20 it convolutes the process .
21 The State of Illinois has said,
22 for better or worse, we understand nobody really
23 wants a landfill, but we all make garbage , so
24 we ' re going to impose a process where there ' s
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
53
1 nine criteria, and if the land meets the nine
2 criteria, that ' s fine, but the balance will be
3 with the local siting control and people who will
4 have it .
5 It ' s a question of whether the
6 evidence shows the site meets the nine criteria
7 as it ' s proposed to be operated and as it ' s
8 designed .
9 A referendum cannot be the
10 decision making process . That would be going
11 outside of the statutory process imposed by the
12 State of Illinois, which would mean that the
13 applicant then could appeal to Springfield and
14 Springfield would decide this . I don ' t think any
15 of us wants Springfield deciding the future .
16 Whether it ' s the County or the
17 City, which would be decided locally, a
18 referendum isn ' t part of the statutory mandated
19 process of how this happens .
20 Nobody, not the County, not the
21 City' s hands are free to do what they want to do
22 or put this to a referendum, so under the
23 process , the referendum, while advisory in some
24 sense, could never be how this decision is made .
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
54
1 The State of Illinois doesn ' t permit it .
2 MS . BARNES : So if you, the Board,
3 voted this down, it ' s not going to stop there, is
4 that what you ' re saying?
5 MR. PRICE : Well, what I ' m saying is
6 if they have proven that they meet the nine
7 criteria and they vote it down anyway, the
8 process is is that .like everything in American
9 government, it ' s checks and balances , and the
10 checks and balances are that they have a right to
11 appeal then under the statutory process , and if
12 they find that these folks turned it down, even
13 though the evidence supported meeting it, they ' re
14 acting as judges and it ' s like a trial case, then
15 the appellate court can overturn the decision and
16 impose it without any of the conditions , without
17 any of the host agreement of benefits .
18 That ' s the possibility that
19 exists , that is, just being imposed under the
20 statute with no control, no local say so . So
21 that is a risk .
22 Does it happen very often? No ,
23 but it has happened and it is a risk .
24 MS . BARNES : Thank you .
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030

1 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Anyone else on
2 this particular property? Yes , ma ' am.
3 WHEREUPON :
4 JOAN POOL,
5 testified before the City Council as follows :
6 MS . POOL : My name is Joan Pool , and
7 I recently moved to Yorkville from Naperville,
8 and for 20 years I lived near Green Valley . I
9 was about three miles away .
10 1 had a lot of odor, lot of
11 trucks , lot of garbage on the road . And there is
12 no industry around Green Valley.
13 It seems to me that those of us
14 that moved to the County that wanted a country
15 setting, we were looking at the County, they had
16 this plan that there were going to be these
17 estate-sized lots and nice houses and things that
18 what you want to do now is take all of the
19 garbage and move it out to that end of Yorkville .
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Someone who
21 hasn ' t spoken yet? Sir, would you like to come
22 up?
23 WHEREUPON :
24 JERRY DIETER,
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
56
1 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
2 follows :
3 MR . DIETER: My name is Jerry
4 Dieter . I live in rural Yorkville , so I have no
5 vote in any City government, which doesn ' t seem
6 like I am represented here very well, but -- I
7 was here last -- or I was at the meeting last
8 night and saw there was really no discussion on
9 this . It was just kind of passed through .
10 After they got done hearing us ,
11 they voted and it all went through, so -- Now, I
12 know they advised you to vote on it , but I am
13 just challenging the aldermen to live up to the
14 commitment .
15 I pulled up some information
16 off the web site, I ' d just like to read a couple
17 people ' s and just challenge you to put up the
18 commitment that you made to the people of
19 Yorkville .
20 I know that growth has come to
21 Kendall County and I know there is concern that
22 we ' re going to lose our small town charm.
23 I believe that a small town is
24 based on ideals and commitments of the people in
Depo Court Reporfing Service (630) 983-0030
57
1 the community and not the population count .
2 Yorkville is a balancing act of
3 managing a growing city and maintaining a
4 wonderful quality of life in the community . It
5 has -- that the community has become accustomed
6 to .
7 I believe I can bring a
8 balanced perspective to the decisions involved in
9 the future growth and direction of the City .
10 I just want to be a part of
11 something good, something great .
12 Yorkville has rapid growth,
13 increase in property taxes , lack of urgent care
14 needs , traffic congestion, and conservation and
15 parks and recreation areas .
16 I felt some expertise to lend
17 to the City as ways to improve and upgrade
18 things .
19 Another one was independent
20 thought and keen sense of fairness to all matters
21 brought before the Council . It is a privilege to
22 serve the citizens of Yorkville and represent the
23 residents .
24 Thank you .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030

1 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you . Sir in
2 the back there with your hand up?
3 WHEREUPON :
4 GEORGE FROST,
5 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
6 follows :
7 MR . FROST : My name is George Frost .
8 I live in Yorkville in the River ' s Edge Reserve
9 off of Fox Creek .
10 While not being an expert in
11 any of this , I tried to do some homework and
12 tried to contact the County to get some
13 background on this , this land that ' s being
14 proposed for annexation, and I stated last night
15 that that gentleman had actually -- they didn ' t
16 make an application, but had talked with the
17 County, the County did ask him for $500 , 000 to
18 start the process , told him from my understanding
19 that it could go as much as $750 , 000 or more in
20 costs that would be taken back as the process was
21 drawn out .
22 He also asked the County at
23 that time to walk away from the road that ' s in --
24 that cuts his property in half .
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
59
1 I see that ' s on the agenda
2 tonight, but it wasn ' t discussed last night , and
3 my understanding was the County asked for a
4 million dollars for that road .
5 I ' m just wondering down the
6 road how that ' s going to affect this annexation
7 agreement .
8 I was told that once the
9 annexation agreement -- if he gets annexed into
10 Yorkville, that road and everything else, then it
11 becomes Yorkville ' s property and problem or one
12 way or another .
13 So he ' s actually from what I
14 could see going back door, trying to circumvent
15 the County, coming back into Yorkville to try to
16 get this in .
17 It ' s not a pretty situation if
I8 anybody has been up there to Settler ' s Hill in
19 Batavia . During the summer it stinks , there is
20 garbage everywhere blowing around.
21 This gentleman has also -- the
22 way this -- the way I understand it , the nine
23 points of a landfill EPA-regulated system or
24 process , one of the main criterias is the need .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
60
1 I believe that ' s why this is
2 being ramrodded through, because if that other
3 landfill gets started down south before he gets
4 his in, then there is not a need, so he could not
5 prove need within the County, which is also why
6 then the County turned around and backdoored you
7 guys to put in a law that says there can ' t be a
8 landfill within a municipality, and what that ' s
9 going to do is end up costing Yorkville and
10 Kendall County taxpayers when we go to court over
11 it who knows what kind of money . It doesn ' t make
12 a lot of sense .
13 The residents don ' t want this .
14 I know, Mayor, you think you have to have this
15 because of economic growth down there . It ' s --
16 If you don ' t want to fight the
17 fight, get out of the kitchen . This is something
18 that you have to fight for us . It ' s just that
19 simple . If you don ' t want to fight the fight,
20 get off the Board .
21 (Applause)
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . Is
23 there any other discussion on this piece of
24 property?
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030

1 One more time . I think we ' ll
2 take one or two more . I think we are dwindling
3 down, so we will move on to the next parcel .
4 MR . MILLIRON : Thank you . City
5 Council members , I would like Art Prochaska to
6 give us an explanation of why we are going so
7 fast .
8 I suspect you ' ve had 50 to 100
9 phone calls from the constituents of Yorkville,
10 residents of Yorkville, and some in the County,
11 wanting to know what is the big hurry, why are
12 you doing this in 19 days, and I would like an
13 explanation .
14 Thank you .
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I ' ve gotten about
16 six phone calls totally, and I have answered
17 those to the people that were there or left them
16 a message --
19 MR . MILLIRON : Would you answer it
20 for the record?
21 MAYOR PROCHASKA: -- and the answer
22 is to annex the property and to move forward with
23 whatever may happen, and whether that is an
24 application or not -- and this is the process we
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
62
1 go through .
2 This property has no -- when
3 you talk about the six months to a year, we also
4 talk about properties that have PUD ' s ,
5 preliminary plats , different agreements that all
6 go with them.
7 Yes , some of those can take six
8 months to a year, some of them can take -- we ' ve
9 had some of them that are very large that have
10 taken a couple of years . It depends on what
11 there is .
12 And have there been properties
13 that have moved through quickly? There have, but
14 on ones that have not had issues .
15 So, you know, as far as why are
16 we doing this, again, there ' s no secret, the City
17 would like to have this property under the City ' s
18 control, or I would like to see it under the
19 City ' s control . I will not speak for the rest of
20 the Council . So there is your answer .
21 And, you know, if you ' ve got
22 something new to say, that ' s fine, but we really
23 need to move on to the next parcel . I ' m sure
24 we ' re going to have a lot of the same comments,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
63
1 so if this doesn ' t pertain particularly to this
2 parcel of land, can we move on and go to the next
3 parcel?
4 Yes , sir . Final comment .
5 MR . GILMOUR: Tom Gilmour . I ' d like
6 to recall an incident that ' s happened on Route 47
7 as far as the wisdom of this zoning and some of
8 the Comprehensive Plans for Yorkville proper .
9 Del Webb pulled out after
10 someone got the idea, bright idea, to put a water
11 park across from a retirement home .
12 Now, here is a community that
13 was bringing in -- they ' re not having any more
14 children, they are nothing but a win/win
15 situation for the City of Yorkville , and along
16 comes the water park .
17 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , and I ask --
18 This would be pertaining to the particular piece
19 of property, but just to answer your question on
20 that, the owners are still looking at a group
21 that is looking at doing that , and one of the
22 groups is still the people .
23 It was an economic decision
24 based on being able to come to agreements between
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
64
1 land owners and the developers and, as far as I
2 know, that is still -- it is still going forward,
3 so that ' s that .
4 MR. GILMOUR: Once again, back on
5 that same topic, and it is pertinent to this
6 whole general -- these next several parcels of
7 property .
8 If you are really interested in
9 the future growth of Yorkville, stand outside and
10 pick a direction . The most promising direction
11 for the City of Yorkville is in the southwest
12 corner .
13 It ' s the most picturesque part
14 of the county, it ' s the most likely for
15 residential development , and once this happens ,
16 it ' s the end of it all .
17 And it ' s going to be to like a
18 virus imperviating the entire town. Don ' t think
19 it ' s just we got a couple million here, we ' re
20 going to use it someplace else .
21 Thank you . And that ' s all for
22 tonight .
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Is there
24 anyone else that would like to speak on this
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
65
1 particular piece of property?
2 (No Response)
3 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there anything
4 Council would like to say anything an this
5 particular parcel of property?
6 MR . BESCO: I would just like to
7 reiterate that we are dealing with an annexation
8 and zoning of property, and that is what ' s facing
9 us .
10 This is what we are voting on .
11 We ' re not voting on a landfill . That -- If
12 something does come -- somebody files a petition
13 to put a landfill in, then we will address that
14 topic, but until then, we are dealing with the
15 annexation and zoning of these properties , and
16 that ' s what we ' re judging it on .
17 MR . MUNNS : I would like your
18 address , ma ' am. I would like to stand in your
19 driveway and take a look . You offered.
20 MS . WHITE: Right .
21 MR. MUNNS : I wrote it down, I want
22 to make sure it ' s right . Was it 8714?
23 MS . WHITE : 8417 West .
24 MR . MUNNS : 8417 . Thank you .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
66
1 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay. Anything
2 else pertaining to this particular piece of
3 property? All right .
4 WHEREUPON :
5 KIM RIECKERT,
6 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
7 follows :
8 MS . RIECKERT : Kim Rieckert . I live
9 on State Route 71 a mile from where you ' re
10 wanting do all this . +
11 Can I just have hands raised
12 how many of you live anywhere near what you are
13 wanting and pushing through on us?
14 Isn ' t there a better place to
15 potentially put a landfill that is not going to
16 affect us?
17 You ' ve got huge farms down 47
18 and yet you are wanting to annex just so you can
19 do stuff that ' s not wanted or appreciated
20 anywhere around us .
21 How many of you are going to be
22 personally affected more than just trying to
23 travel the roads that we can ' t get through now?
24 How many of you live
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
67
1 within let ' s go 15 miles?
2 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I think we all do .
3 I think we all do that .
4 MS . RIECKERT : That is going to be
5 on your road?
6 MAYOR PROCHASKA: No .
7 MS . RIECKERT : You say to live on a
8 highway .
9 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I live a block up
10 34 .
11 MR. WOLFER: I live four miles .
12 MR. LESLIE : I live -- I am the
13 closest to the proposed annexation .
14 And I would like to caution you
15 with your supposition, a lot of you folks are
16 here , I think that ' s great you ' re coming out, but
17 apparently you ' ve decided what my decision has
18 been and everyone else here .
19 MS . RIECKERT : I ' m requesting that
20 you turn it down because we don ' t want it .
21 MR . LESLIE : I appreciate that . A
22 request is one thing, but your statement earlier
23 was how many of you live in close proximity while
24 you are pushing this through .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
68
1 You ' re not here to vote on it ,
2 you ' re here to state your opinion, we ' re here to
3 hear .
4 But, please, I encourage all of
5 you, I don ' t think a single person here has heard
6 me speak to what I want . I am going to be one of
7 the people voting, as are the other seven here .
8 So understand that .
9 MS . RIECKERT : Would we be doing
10 this proposal and seeking out people to annex
11 into the City of Yorkville if we didn ' t have this
12 other issue underlying?
13 MR . LESLIE : I 'm not sure of your
14 question .
15 MS . RIECKERT : If we didn ' t have
16 Mr . Hamann wanting to use his property for this ,
17 would the City have deliberately gone after to
18 annex and seek out these individual specific
19 property owners?
20 MR . LESLIE : Are you familiar with
21 the process , number one, to seek out, and are you
22 aware of the individuals, the said individuals ,
23 you are saying that did so?
24 MS . RIECKERT : Why don ' t you explain
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
69
1 it to us?
2 MR. LESLIE : I can ' t . I am not one
3 of them.
4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I think we --
5 MR . MUNNS : We ' re off point,
6 Mr . Mayor . Let ' s get back to it .
7 MR . MILLIRON : It was explained last
8 night .
9 MR. LESLIE : It ' s an important
10 point . I want to make that point , you know .
11 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Just in
12 finalization, again, to all of the Council -- and
13 they are all aware of this -- and, as Alderman
14 Besco has pointed out, this is a public hearing
15 for annexation and zoning, and there is no
16 presupposition one way or another for anything
17 else that would come along . There cannot be .
18 And if anyone speaks of it any
19 other way, they actually could put -- there is a
20 bigger liability of doing that the attorney has
21 said.
22 We will look -- At this point
23 in time we are looking at annexation and zoning
24 of property, and that is what ' s before us for
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
70
1 consideration this evening .
2 Is there any other discussion
3 on this piece of property before we move to the
4 next piece of property? Yes , sir .
5 WHEREUPON :
6 PHIL CORRINGTON,
7 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
8 follows :
9 MR. CORRINGTON : Good evening . I
10 have a small question I am hoping you can help me
11 with .
12 MS . SPEARS : Excuse me, what is your
13 name?
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: You need to state
15 your name and your address , sir, please .
16 MR. CORRINGTON : Phil Corrington,
17 8675 Highpoint Road in Kendall County .
18 And the question is the
19 Eldamain Road extension . I heard last night from
20 I believe it was you that the Eldamain Road
21 extension all the way to 71 covers on the east
22 side would be Plano .
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: And our boundary
24 agreement with Plano at this time is that
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
79
1 from down to Route 71 to the east of Highpoint
2 Road -- other than there is a little gray area
3 because it curves over to hit Eldamain -- to --
4 is on the Yorkville side of the boundary
5 agreement ; on the west side is the Plano
6 agreement, that ends at Route 71 .
7 MR. CORRINGTON : Can you tell me
8 approximately on this map or where people can see
9 where the Eldamain Road extension would come in?
10 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Sure .
11 MR. MILLER: It would be -- That ' s
12 Eldamain Road.
13 MR. CORRINGTON : That ' s West
14 Highpoint .
15 MR . MILLER: Right . And that ' s
16 where Eldamain Road would come in .
17 MR. CORRINGTON : I thought it would
18 come straight in down through here .
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: No . We -- The
20 actual agreement is Eldamain north of the river
21 and Highpoint Road on the south side of the river
22 to Route 71 .
23 MR. CORRINGTON : Okay. Thank you .
24 One other question, and this goes on to another
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
72
1 piece of property .
2 If you annex the Hamann
3 property where they are currently using it as
4 composting, will you be able to provide better
5 control over the odor?
b MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well, I don ' t know
7 if we can provide better or not . From what I ' m
S hearing, people are saying there is not a lot of
9 control being done right now, and certainly that
10 would then go through our City Staff and we would
11 address that as the City because it would then be
12 within the City limits .
13 MR . CORRINGTON : Thank you .
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Anyone else?
15 Where? Oh . Ma ' am.
16 WHEREUPON :
17 JOAN EVERETTS,
1s testified before the Yorkville City Council as
19 follows :
20 MS . EVERETTS : Joan Everetts . I
21 live at 8282 West Highpoint Road. I have two
22 questions on this .
23 One, the gentleman earlier said
24 that the fire district was improper on the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
73
1 annexation agreement I believe , and I was
2 wondering if the correct fire district got proper
3 notice and timely notice .
4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , that ' s a
5 question . Can we answer that? Pardon? You ' ve
6 got notice? Mr . Nelson, I don ' t know, can you
7 answer that? Were they noticed?
8 MR . NELSON : My reading of the
9 statute is -- I think Mr . Wyeth would agree with
10 me -- that if there is --
11 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Yes , the
12 Bristol-Kendall Fire Protection District was
13 notified . We do have the return from the --
14 MR. NELSON : That satisfies it .
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: -- from the mail .
16 Yes . They were notified .
17 MS . EVERETTS : And my second
18 question deals with the process in general, and
19 I 'm not sure if I have this straight , the
20 attorney can straighten this one for me, but I
21 believe when a municipality asks for annexation
22 an ordinance needs to be passed, and was that
23 ordinance passed? And when? If that ' s right .
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: That ' s what the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 963-0030
74
1 public hearings are for and that is what is on
2 the agenda for this evening, would be the actual
3 ordinances --
4 MS . EVERETTS : The ordinances .
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: -- to do that .
6 MS . EVERETTS : Okay. Thanks .
7 MAYOR PROCHASKA: If there is no
8 other discussion on this particular piece of
9 property, I ' d like to move on to the next --
10 Anyone here at the table?

7 petitioner, has filed an application with the

9 Illinois , requesting annexation to the United
10 City of Yorkville and rezoning from Kendall
11 County A 1 to United City of Yorkville B-3
12 Service Business District, and for hearing as to
13 the annexation of petitioner .
14 The real property consists of
15 approximately 15 . 32 acres located on the south

18 MR. BOCK: So moved .

14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Motion is carried.
15 Representing the petitioner,
16 could you state your name?
17 WHEREUPON :
18 JOHN PHILIPCHUCK,
19 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
20 follows :
21 MR, PHILIPCHUCK: Yes . John
22 Philipchuck. I am an attorney with offices at
23 123 Water Street, Naperville, Illinois , here this
24 evening representing North Star Trust Company
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 963-0030
78
1 Trust Number 06-9993 , and this is the 15-acre
2 parcel that ' s located at the southwest corner of
3 Highpoint Road and Route 71 .
4 It is contiguous to the
5 Borneman propezty that you just conducted a
6 public hearing on .
7 Under the state statutes , an
8 applicant has a right to file petitions to annex
9 and to request that the municipality enter into
10 an annexation agreement . We have submitted an
11 annexation agreement for your consideration .
12 At the public hearing last
13 night , unfortunately the Plan Commission did not
14 have a majority to recommend zoning .
15 We are requesting B-3 for this
16 parcel ; the reason being that that is what your
17 Comprehensive Plan calls for .
18 It was recently adopted by the
19 City Council in September of 2005 , so it ' s of a
20 more recent nature .
21 Part of the reasoning that you
22 invested in an update of your Comprehensive Plan
23 was because of the growth that you are
24 experiencing in the southern part of the City,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
79
1 and as you know, as your corporate boundaries
2 expand, so does your sphere of influence .
3 You are able to plan your
4 destiny within a mile and a half of your
5 corporate boundaries .
6 As you annex these parcels , it
7 allows Yorkville to be the one who determines
8 what land uses and what will be happening in
9 these areas , so this is a logical extension of
10 the City into an area that ' s part of your
11 Comprehensive Plan, and I would urge you to
12 continue your efforts to help the citizens of
13 Yorkville to relieve them of some of the property
14 tax burdens by continuing to plan to annex these
15 areas that offer potential for commercial
16 development .
17 We all recognize that
18 homeowners are the ones that are carrying a lot
19 of the burden for our school taxes , but getting
20 commercial properties annexed and under the
21 control of the City of Yorkville allows you to
22 plan for the future so that these parcels are out
23 there and designated, so that as home buyers look
24 at new property, they can evaluate whether they
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
80
1 want to move in those areas knowing that those
2 are the plans .
3 The plans are this property has
4 been annexed by Yorkville, Yorkville is
5 designated as commercial , what have you, and so
6 the plans are out right there . It ' s of public
7 record that everyone can take a look at and see .
8 We must take advantage of our
9 state routes . We ' ve seen that on Route 34 with
10 the commercial ventures that you are starting to
11 see come into the community.
12 We ' ve seen it on Route 47 . You
13 are currently seeing some developments that have
14 large commercial components as you move out on
15 Route 47?
16 One thing that is a plus is
17 that there are plans for the Prairie Parkway .
18 Again, your future, but nonetheless , it ' s part of
19 the job, a good City Council has to plan for that
20 future .
21 And by doing your Comprehensive
22 Plan and by planning for these areas , taking
23 advantage of the fact that these roads are
24 coming, you are positioning yourselves to allow
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
81
1 those planned uses that are being petitioned to
2 you tonight .
3 So we think it ' s fiscally
4 responsible of this Council to consider these
5 kinds of petitions and annexations , and we would
6 request that you recommend approval of the zoning
7 tonight in accordance with the Comprehensive
8 Plan .
9 Thank you .
10 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Travis , do
11 you have a report to give on this particular
12 parcel?
13 MR . MILLER: A brief statement . The
14 Plan Commission did conduct a public hearing last
15 evening, as stated by the petitioner .
16 The recommendation for -- to
17 approve the annexation was unanimous , seven to
18 zero, and the zoning was not recommended, with a
19 vote of three in favor of recommendation and four
20 not in favor of a recommendation for rezoning
21 request .
22 Just as a point of
23 clarification, the petitioner stated the
24 Comprehensive Plan -- the Comprehensive Plan in
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
82
1 the southern portion of the City, the public
2 hearings were conducted in November of 2004 , it
3 was adopted by the City Council in February of
4 2005 .
5 It is true that the -- this
6 property, 15 . 32 acres , does fall completely
7 within an area designated or recommended by that
8 Comprehensive Plan for commercial use, so B-3
9 zoning classification would be consistent with
10 the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan for
11 this property.
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay. With that ,
13 I would -- Wait until she changes the tape here .
14 All right . I would open the floor, sir .
15 MR. PARISH : Ron Parish again . I
16 guess I ' m just going to go back and talk about
17 what we have talked about so far in the meeting .
18 For one thing, I do appreciate
19 all of the aldermen being here in parliamentary
20 procedure .
21 In all of the parliamentary
22 procedure that I have ever been involved with, it
23 was generally noted the ones that paid attention
24 or did not pay attention when important issues
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
83
1 were being brought up .
2 I would like to call to the
3 attention to the group the ones that do or do not
4 pay attention .
5 1 believe the gentleman on the
6 end, Jason -- and I respect you Jason --
7 chastised one of the individuals in the room a
8 while ago, but you were not present , Jason, when
9 the -- it was read . You were in the back room.
10 MR. LESLIE : Which was that?
11 MR. PARISH : Now, you said -- When
12 they called the roll a while ago to vote, you
13 were not even present in the room.
14 MR. LESLIE : What --
15 MR . PARISH : You were out smoking
16 and you were reading a book. If I ' m going to be
17 here, I would like you to --
18 MR. MUNNS : Been here The whole time
19 we were discussing this , sir .
20 MR. PARISH : I would like someone to
21 pay attention to us . We are here paying for our
22 right and for our property and I would at least
23 like someone --
24 MR. MUNNS : Tell him he is done .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
84
1 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Sir, sir, I ' d ask
2 that -- Please stay on point on this property .
3 MR. PARISH : I will stay on point .
4 I will go back to the first thing, that this is
5 being railroaded . It is done in 19 days .
6 The trucks that we are talking
7 about are going to be coming through Yorkville no
8 matter what was the statement that was made, and
9 they will if the dump goes out there .
10 We have also talked about
11 what ' s out there now . There is a compost plant
12 out there now, and you can ' t breathe . It also
13 has plastic in it . And I would invite every one
14 of the Council members to come out and look at
15 that landfill and see what ' s in the landfill .
16 All respect to you, John, I
17 would invite you to come out and look at that
18 also .
19 We talked about no fees and
20 John talks about us having a tax base . There is
21 no fees bringing these properties into the county
22 and -- into the City, excuse me .
23 If there is no fees , then we
24 don ' t have a tax base . We only have a tax base
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
85
1 if something is built there , and I doubt very
2 seriously having this garbage is going to pay
3 anything to us for taxes . It ' s only going to
4 bring us more misery .
5 We have talked about what
6 happens in the other landfills . I ' ll give you
7 Settler ' s Landing or Green Valley . It is sand
8 base, and there is not enough sand base out there
9 to even have a landfill .
10 There has been 40 core
11 drillings out there -- not wells --- where they
12 dug in to check the land, but the reason they
13 chose the other one is because when you can ' t cap
14 it off, it ' s too much sand, it doesn ' t work, and
15 that absolutely is an abomination right now .
16 There has never been anything
17 done to help this or any of us out on that road
18 to stop this landfill from going .
19 And, systematically, we are
20 going down through each one of these properties
21 and we ' re saying okay. There was no discussion
22 amongst the Board a while ago, it was let ' s call
23 roll . I would like to hear g ' all ' s opinions .
24 We ' re standing here, All of us
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
86
1 are getting up and we ' re pleading for our life .
2 My wife played in 47 , she is 53 years old, played
3 in the middle of that highway . There wasn ' t any
4 traffic .
5 We haven ' t done anything to 47
6 since she played in it in 53 years , but yet we
7 want to bring the traffic out down 71 .
8 We have already annexed a lot
9 of land out here, but I have never seen a
10 Yorkville patrol car out there .
11 People do 75 miles an hour with
12 trash running on those trucks , but there is no
13 Yorkville patrol cars out there, and you already
14 annexed that property.
15 I ' d just like to ask that
16 everybody listen to us, and let ' s look at what
17 the cost would be .
18 The County asks for $500 , 000 to
19 inspect that property because it ' s going to cost
20 over $500 , 000 in order to get a landfill
21 authorized and to have it out there . $500 , 000
22 won ' t touch it .
23 Yorkville is asking for
24 $100, 000 , and that ' s fine . I know we say we can
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
87
1 replenish it , and I ' m sure we will , and I ' m
2 taking you at your word that we would replenish
3 it , but that ' s not enough to even start to get
4 that property into a landfill .
5 And all of this is about
6 putting the properties together to get to the
7 landfill, and it just doesn ' t make any sense .
8 I cannot understand why the
9 City of Yorkville would want to sit and railroad
10 this entire group of people into something that
11 they don ' t want .
12 We set here last night, all of
13 us begging for our lives, and it was like yes ,
14 aye , aye, aye, aye . Yes , aye , aye, aye , aye ,
15 aye, aye, aye .
16 My wife just came home from
17 Mayo . She ' s been there for four weeks . She had
18 to go home . She couldn ' t even tolerate it .
19 You know, it ' s -- I think It ' s
20 not where a person lives . I don ' t think that
21 where a person lives has anything to do with what
22 should happen in the City, but I think the City
23 needs to have a base or a foundation to work
24 from, and I don ' t think they need to go outside
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
88
1 and start working with somebody ' s property out
2 there putting more traffic on the roads and not
3 taking care of it .
4 We don ' t have anybody in
5 Yorkville that can even watch or monitor a
6 landfill .
7 I think if we ' re going to have
8 a landfill or we ' re going to put the landfill
9 together to go out there, then we need to have
10 people that can monitor it and can take care of
11 it , and I think we need the other people in the
12 room paying attention, and I ' d like to hear
13 y ? all ' s comments . I don ' t like to just hear an
14 aye or a nay or a yes .
15 Jason, I thought you were going
16 to talk a while ago and you didn ' t say a word .
17 You walked off .
18 MR. LESLIE : Number one, I was
19 present for the roll call . It was a motion to
20 close discussion. Number one .
21 I went to the restroom, so --
22 MR. PARISH : 'Then you should have
23 excused yourself and called the meeting to a
24 close until you returned because that is
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
89
1 parliamentary procedure .
2 MR . LESLIE : You know, I don ' t think
3 so because I was here for the vote , so
4 regardless .
5 Number two, I was not
6 chastising the lady, I was cautioning her . I was
7 cautioning her . That ' s exactly what I felt .
8 All these folks , I understand
9 you are emotionally charged . You asked who is --
10 is there anyone here close to the landfill . I ' m
11 the closest to the landfill . I haven ' t said one
12 word, I believe word one . Being the closest to
13 the landfill, I haven ' t said word one .
14 My caution to you was , I
15 understand you folks are charged . You ' re here .
16 With regard to the Planning Commission, by the
17 way, I don ' t sit on the Planning Commission . I
18 would have been at the Planning Commission had I
19 had the opportunity.
20 I ' m here generally every
21 Tuesday, before that Tuesday and Thursday, when
22 time permits between two businesses .
23 I take this very seriously, and
24 I assure you, it ' s got the utmost of my
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
90
1 attention .
2 So if you want to hear my
3 comments and my opinions , I 'm going to give them.
4 I ' m going to give them tonight with my vote, and
5 that will be my opinion . I want to hear you
6 folks first .
7 MR. JAMES : I just wanted to point
8 out how the process works . We are in the public
9 hearing section right now and that ' s where we
10 hear from the public .
11 Later in the agenda there is a
12 section where we ' re going to talk and have a
13 vote, and at that time that ' s where you ' ll hear
14 our discussions .
15 MR . MILLIRON : Can you talk louder,
16 please?
17 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . What he ' s
18 saying is as part of the process , this is a
19 public hearing process .
20 At this time, the main focus is
21 to take comment and questions and answers from
22 the testimony from the public .
23 At the time when these would
24 come before the Council for consideration, there
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
91
l is a time for the Council then to debate back and
2 forth their ideas and thoughts on these things ,
3 and at that time there will be discussion .
4 1 suspect -- I ' ve never seen
5 this Council not have discussion when there is an
6 important issue , so there is -- there will be
7 discussion at that point, and, you know, I think
8 at this point the main thing is get information
9 from you all .
10 And with that, is there someone
11 that would like to come up and speak?
12 UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER: Would
13 you explain that the vote was to close the
14 discussion?
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Folks , all
16 we did at that vote was simply to close that
17 portion of the public hearing, and then we voted
18 to open the next portion of the public hearing .
19 That was not a vote to do anything other than
20 that . The actual consideration will be later on
21 in the agenda .
22 And is there someone that would
23 like to now speak about this piece of property?
24 And there is a man back there, if I could let him
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
92
1 speak first .
2 MR . PARISH : I don ' t want to speak
3 for you, Art , but when are y' all going to
4 actually state y ' all ' s opinion on this? This
5 group has sat here for two days and nobody has
6 spoke up .
7 MAYOR PROCHASKA: What I am saying
8 is during the consideration time, that is the
9 time when the Council has that opportunity to
10 vote on whether they -- you know, whatever they
11 want to do, and there is a discussion period with
12 that, too, so there is a discussion period for
13 the Council .
14 Yes , sir, in the back. If you
15 want to come forward.
16 MR . MILLIRON : We don ' t fully
17 understand that .
18 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes . If there is
19 people who can ' t hear, there is a lot of empty
20 chairs up front . You are welcome to move
21 forward .
22 WHEREUPON :
23 GEORGE GILSON,
24 testified before the Yorkville Plan Commission as
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
93
1 follows :
2 MR . GILSON : George Gilson is my
3 name, and I heard Jason talk about wanting to
4 hear what people have to say before you cast your
5 vote, and I challenge the rest of you to do the
6 same .
7 I think it ' s being made clear
8 here, the people here do not want to see this
9 annexation, do not want to see that landfill, and
10 that ' s the underlying reason for this annexation .
11 But my question to you is how
12 can you as elected officials stand up here in
13 front of us and vote on something that you see
14 actually no support for at all to annex this land
15 in?
16 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is that a
17 rhetorical question?
18 MR. GILSON : It ' s a question that
19 I ' d like answered .
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , first Of
21 all, sir, as far as the vote goes , that won ' t
22 happen until further on down, and we don ' t know
23 how anyone is going to vote at this point in
24 time .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
94
1 When they do that, they will
2 have the opportunity to make their feelings
3 known, and that ' s what we ' ve said . This is a
4 time for -- to get testimony from all the people
5 here .
6 MR. GILSON : I just want to point
7 out that you ' ve seen and you ' ve heard now from
8 many people standing up here and you ' re going to
9 hear from a lot more .
10 Have you heard from one person
11 here that has stood up in support of this thing
12 besides Mr . Hamann ' s and North Star trust
13 attorney?
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Support of what?
15 All we ' re looking for is annexation, annexation
16 and zoning .
17 MR . GILSON : And I don ' t believe
18 there ' s been one person that ' s stood up here in
19 favor of the annexation .
20 I challenge you, Jason . Like
21 you said, you want to hear what we have to say,
22 you ' re going to hear what we have to say, and I
23 challenge the rest of you to do the same .
24 We don ' t want this annexation
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
95
1 and we don ' t want the landfill, and that ' s the
2 only reason for this annexation .
3 (Applause)
4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . All right .
5 I ' d like to move forward with this , we ' re still
6 on number three . And so at this time I would ask
7 if there is someone else that would like to come
8 forward and talk about this particular issue .
9 WHEREUPON :
10 KELLY KRAMER,
11 testified before the Yorkville Plan Commission as
12 follows :
13 MS . KRAMER : Kelly Kramer . I live
14 at 514 West Madison Street in Yorkville .
15 And I was wondering if the City
16 has looked into the timetable for extending the
17 sanitary sewer and water improvements to all of
18 these sites .
19 And if it ' s agreeable with the
20 attorney, if I could adopt that question and the
21 answer for the remaining public hearings , but for
22 the Sleepy Hollow vacation .
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . I 'm sorry,
24 you kind of trailed off there . You are asking
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
96
1 about the timetable?
2 MS . KRAMER: Timetable . Has the
3 City given any consideration to the timetable and
4 what that would be for the sanitary sewer, and
5 water extension to these particular properties
6 and what the location and routing would be .
7 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , typically
8 it ' s development that determines the timing as
9 the development comes forward.
10 And I know there is a plan that
11 the sanitary district has for their sewer and
12 there is a water plan, am I correct , Travis? I
13 don ' t know if you can answer this a little
14 better .
15 MR. MILLER: As far as the specific
16 request for annexation tonight, the short answer
17 is no , we specifically haven ' t looked at each
18 individual property, but to answer your question,
19 the property that is contiguous, as far as the
20 annexation being petitioned tonight , are
21 contiguous, engineering is moving forward with
22 sanitary sewer and water services for those
23 properties .
24 The anticipated time frame for
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
97
1 installation is 2007 , with segments up and
2 running in 2007 , so the best estimate at this
3 point is driven by development and demand, and
4 the best estimate at this point is we would have
5 those services , the eastern edge of these
6 annexations , by late 2007 , early 2008 , depending
7 on timing of development of these properties .
8 And, again, this is for
9 annexation of the property and zoning, not
10 development plans , so at that point we would be
11 poised then to design the infrastructure
12 necessary after the development was proposed, if
13 and when that development is proposed, for these
14 properties .
15 Does that answer your question?
16 MS . KRAMER : Yes .
17 MR. MILLER: Okay.
18 MS . KRAMER: Has this property or
19 any of the properties that are being presented
20 here tonight petitioned to the Yorkville-Bristol
21 Sanitary District for annexation at this point in
22 time?
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I don ' t believe
24 they have at this time, as far as I know, but
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
98
1 ultimately before they would develop, if they
2 wish to be annexed into the sanitary district ,
3 they would have to do that , yes .
4 MS . KRAMER: Prior to any issuance
5 of building permits or approval of plans?
6 MAYOR PROCHASKA: It ' s in the
7 annexation agreement that they would need to
8 petition .
9 MR. MILLER: You ' re right . It ' s
10 actually tied to the final plat within the
11 annexation agreements .
12 MS . KRAMER: And also has the City
13 looked at what type of funding mechanism they
14 would utilize to pay for the sanitary sewer and
15 water extensions in this particular area given
16 the fact that there is no immediate development
17 plans?
18 MR. MILLER: Not at this time,
19 primarily because of that reason . The
20 development plans would speak to what the
21 intended uses would be there, and that ' s what we
22 would -- the City typically would base, what , if
23 any, type of funding mechanisms that are
24 established for that based on the taxes generated
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
99
1 as to commercial use or the number of residential
2 units if it ' s a residential use .
3 All of the property is assigned
4 to a very small portion of one of the annexations
5 tonight , the Schanze property is all
6 non-residential, so we would be in need of
7 understanding what the commercial development
8 would be and what type of sales tax generation
9 and funding would be generated or expected to be
10 generated from those land uses before we could
11 even begin those conversations .
12 So, at this point , to answer
13 your question, it hasn' t been evaluated because
14 it would be premature .
15 MS . KRAMER: And do you know if
16 pursuant to the annexation agreement these
17 particular properties are going to avail
18 themselves of any sort of police and fire
19 protection services immediately if annexed?
20 MR. MILLER: Yeah, the annexation
21 agreement does address that, and police and fire
22 protection would be provided by the City to those
23 properties .
24 MS . KRAMER: Upon approval of any
r,_. rte,,,,,+Qannrfina Service (630) 983-0030
100
1 annexation agreement?
2 MR. MILLER: That ' s correct .
3 MS . KRAMER: What about garbage
4 service?
5 MR. MILLER: That ' s a good question .
6 The annexation agreement does not address that .
7 1 believe part of the City I
8 refer that to the attorney -- I believe the
9 coverage of the City would include any corporate
10 area, but I don' t have the direct answer to that
11 question .
12 MS . KRAMER: And do you know if
13 these particular properties are being serviced
14 with the Kendall -- or Bristol-Kendall Fire
15 Protection District and the County of Kendall
16 right now?
17 MR. MILLER: This particular
18 property --- I ' ll let the petitioner speak to
19 that .
20 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: The 15 acres that
21 we ' re talking about , or we ' re trying to talk
22 about , is Bristol-Kendall .
23 MS . KRAMER: And also County of
24 Kendall Sheriff ' s Department?
nPoo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
101
1 MR . PHILIPCHUCK: Kelly, you know
2 that .
3 MS . KRAMER: Well , I ' d like to hear
4 an answer on the record if you don ' t mind .
5 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: Yes , yes .
6 MS . KRAMER: And so the only benefit
7 of this particular property at this point in time
8 is the Yorkville Police Department serving the
g property and garbage pickup, they wouldn ' t avail
10 themselves of any municipal water and sewer at
11 this point in time?
12 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: Not until it ' s
13 available, but we now have a critical mass out
14 there of potential development, we have more
15 property owners who are committed to the City of
16 Yorkville that can participate in funding
17 mechanisms as they are developed to be able to
18 pull the utilities out there .
19
MS . KRAMER: And as far as pulling
20 the utilities out there, would the developers
21 look at enacting any sort of SSA or putting any
22 type of recapture agreement on the properties?
23 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: As you know, there
24 are various funding mechanisms ; it ' s too early to
non- rourt Reoorting Service (630) 983-0030
102
1 discuss those at this time .
2 MS . KRAMER: So none of the
3 petitioners that you represent have gone any
4 further than that?
5 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: Not at this time .
6 MS . KRAMER: Okay . I have nothing
7 further .
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you .
9 Someone else? Yes , sir .
10 WHEREUPON :
11 DON KOLODZINSKI ,
12 testified before the Yorkville Plan Commission as
13 follows :
14 MR. KOLODZINSKI : My name is Bob
15 Kolodzinski . I live in Yorkville . I would like
16 to address Mr . Billchuck (sic) , the attorney for
17 North Star .
18 MS . WHITE : Philipchuck.
19 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Philipchuck . What
20 type of holding does North Star represent? What
21 type of businesses?
22 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: It is the trustee
23 that holds title -- to .the land trust .
24 MR. KOLODZINSKI : What type of
nann Court Renortlnq Service (630) 983-0030
103
1 ventures do they endeavor? 759 acres , it ' s got
2 to be pretty substantial -
3 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: See, the title is
4 held in the land trust under the Illinois Land
5 Trust Act .
6 MR . KOLODZINSKI : And would you
7 explain to people why things are held in trust?
8 MR . PHILIPCHUCK: Various reasons .
9 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Would one be
10 because you can ' t sue the individual?
11 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: Would one be --
12 MR. KOLODZINSKI : You can ' t sue an
13 individual, you would have to -- because it ' s a
14 trust, there is not a person to go after .
15 MR . PHILIPCHUCK: it would depend on
16 the nature of what it is you are seeking to do .
17 MR. KOLODZINSKI : But is that one
18 of -- Could that be true? It is a yes or a no .
19
MR. PHILIPCHUCK: It ' s not a yes or
20 no answer .
21 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Okay . Let me ask
22 you another question . Yesterday you said you
23 lived in the City of Yorkville, today you said
24 you live in Naperville .
r,......, r„#erF pPnortina service (630) 983-0030
104
1 Are you lying to us yesterday
2 or today?
3 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: Excuse me .
4 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Well, when you
5 stated your name --
6 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: I stated my
7 business address .
8 MR . KOLODZINSKI : Well , that ' s not
9 what you were asked to do .
10 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: I wasn ' t asked . I
11 stated my business address .
12 When I addressed this Board, I
13 said I was an attorney --
14 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Do we have --
15 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: --- and my offices
16 are at --
17 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Do we have --
18 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . One at
19 a time .
20 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Do we have a
21 separate set of rules?
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: No . You asked him
23 a question, let him answer the question .
24 MR . KOLODZINSKI : Okay . Do you live
nPno Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
105
1 in the City of Yorkville?
2 MR. PHILIPCHUCK; I don ' t know what
3 that is germane to .
4 MR . KOLODZINSKI : Do you live in the
5 City of Yorkville? Because yesterday you stated
6 that you did .
.7 MR . PHILIPCHUCK: Well , then if Z
8 stated I did yesterday, that hasn ' t changed
9 because I didn ' t move last night .
10
MR . KOLODZINSKI : Okay . I guess we
11 can see what we ' re dealing with here exactly .
12 By the way, do we have a health
13 department in Yorkville?
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: It ' s a county
15 health department .
16 MR. KOLODZINSKI : It ' s a county
17 health department . That would be a little in
18 conflict with what ' s going to take place , the
19 people you identify we ' re going to ask to help
20 us . Okay . Next question, Jason . I ' d like to --
21 You wanted to have the ability to speak here .
22 Can somebody cite me what the
23 odor ordinance was that was brought up yesterday?
24 I couldn ' t find it on the web site . 'There is
r,.,..., r-„,,,t Rpnnrtino Service (630) 983-0030
106
1 none . So either somebody is lying to me
2 yesterday or they are going to lie to me today .
3 So if anyone on the Council
4 would recite that to me, I would love to hear it .
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: And I believe
6 that, Travis , there is something in the zoning
7 that deals with odors .
s MR. KOLODZINSKI : There is nothing
9 in the zoning .
10 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Under the
11 Manufacturing M-1? It ' s not in there?
12 Noxious --- noxious odors?
13 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Actually it was --
14 With all due respect , Mayor, it was you and the
15 Chairman who was reading somewhere that it was
16 residential or manufacturing as proved by the
17 transcript .
18 MAYOR PROCHASKA: It would be -- if
19 it was my -- well , in manufacturing , there is
20 sound and there is --
21 MR. MILLER: There is a sound --
22 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Shouldn ' t we know
23 that before we take a vote on these items?
24 MR. PRICE : The answer is two-fold,
nnnn Court ReDortina Service (630) 983-0030
107
1 sir , The adopted codes in the City of Yorkville
2 do , in fact , have odor regulations in them, the
3 International Property Maintenance Code , for
4 example , and then when it comes to things like
5 the current operation on the Hamann property and
6 whether it ' s the County or the City or anybody
7 else that posts the landfill regulations imposed
8 there at state level, they set the standards and
9 enforce them, so those standards --- in terms of
10 the particular odor , a particular question on
11 odor control in the City of Yorkville are found
12 in building codes , International Property
13 Maintenance adopted by the City of Yorkville , so
14 you have find the actual code . That ' s like
15 asking where is electrical safety in the City of
16 Yorkville --
17 MR. KOLODZINSKI : We were told there
18 is an ordinance yesterday .
19 MR. PRICE : Yes . The Illinois
20 Property Maintenance Code is the ordinance that
21 imposes the standard that then is imposed on the
22 City .
23 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Don ' t run away .
24 I ' ve got a question for you as long as you are
__ pannrtinrl service (830) 983-0030
108
1 up .
2 Yesterday, from what I
3 understand, you are counsel for all the people of
4 Yorkville : is that correct?
5 MR. PRICE : Right .
6 MR. KOLODZINSKI ; So, in essence , we
7 pay the bills for Yorkville, we pay your salary
8 through the City, correct?
9 MR. PRICE : I bill the City, that ' s
10 true .
11 MR . KOLODZINSKI : Is that common
12 for -- after meeting with people that -- I guess
13 you had a pretty lengthy conversation with the
14 North Star people outside yesterday after the
15 meeting adjourned .
16 Is that kind of common when you
17 represent us?
18 MR. PRICE: I am a Plan
19 Commissioner --
20 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Okay .
21 MR. PRICE : -- and I am a municipal
22 lawyer . 'That ' s what I do .
23 I see Mr . Philipchuck in at
24 least seven different municipalities . I have

1 known John for a long time . He and I sat down,
2 for example, at the Oswegoland Park District ,
3 where I represent the park district , he
4 represents a home builder, we ' re ironing out a
5 park issue . We have lots of things to talk
6 about , so I understand your concern about bias --
7 MR . KOLODZINSKI : We ought to be in
8 your best interest then .
9 MR . PRICE : Can I finish?
10 MR . KOLODZINSKI : Sure .
11 MR . PRICE : I understand you are
12 concerned about bias . My whole role in all of
13 this is that if the City zones this -- adopts
14 this land, takes control of the process , is to
15 find and make sure that the public has their say .
16 There are many ways for you to
17 be informed about what ' s going on and for you to
18 have your say and to find ways for you to have an
13 input to these people when they are judges and
20 can ' t talk to you outside of the hearing process .
21 That ' s my whole job, is simply
22 to navigate for a process they are not used to
23 seeing , nobody is used to seeing .
24 I am just a municipal lawyer .

1 MR. KOLODZINSKI ; For the record, I
2 didn ' t mention bias .
3 MR. PRICE : Well , that ' s the
4 implication from the question that asks why I ' m
5 talking to Mr . Philipchuck on the way to his car ,
6 which is two over from mine, so . . .
7 MR. KOLODZINSKI : Does anybody know
8 the ramifications of a landfill as opposed to
9 real estate value in the first year and decline
10 in the first year? Can I open that up , anybody?
11
MAYOR PROCHA$KA; Well , you know,
12 can we -- This is fine, and I -- this discussion .
13 Right now we are looking at annexation and zoning
14 of a piece of property that is coming in to be
15 zoned as B-3 at the corner .
16 1 mean, we ' re not even on that
17 particular piece of property. I mean, that will
18 be discussed. I ' d like to move it through and
19 talk about the particular piece of property that
20 we are dealing with right here .
21 MR . KOLODZINSKI : Then it would be
22 my recommendation that there be no vote taken
23 until we have clarity on what that property is
24 going to include because you can ' t vote on
Deno Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
1 something
that you don ' t have an ordinance for ,
2 you don ' t understand, you don ' t have a health
3 department, and surely you wouldn ' t want to throw
4 the baby out with the bath water .
5
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Thank you .
6 is there someone else that would like to speak on
7 this piece of property? Is there -- yes , ma ' am.
8 MS . GILBERT : JoAnn Gilbert . I
9 would like to ask about the odor . I ' m sorry,
I
10 am regressing . But once this rezoning and all
11 this takes place, the City takes over, when those
12 of us that are County call about the odor in the
13 City from the landfill or from the compost , will
14 you do anything when the County people call?
15
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . This has
16 again nothing to do with this particular piece of
17 property --
18 MS . GILBERT : I understand .
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA:
-- being annexed,
20 and the City will take all calls .
21
MS . GILBERT : See , we are nervous .
22 This is our -- These are our homes .
23
MAYOR PROCHASKA: I understand .
24 MS . GILBERT : All right .
(630) 983-0030
112
1 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you .
2 MS . GILBERT : That ' s why we ' re all
3 upset .
4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there anyone
5 that would like to speak on this piece of
6 property and this particular annexation? Yes .
7 WHEREUPON :
8 CAROL SHEELEY,
9 testified before the Yorkville Plan Commission as
10 follows :
11 MS . SHEELEY : Carol Sheeley, 38
12 Acorn Lane, and most of what I know about what ' s
13 proposed to happen is what I read in the paper,
14 and I ' m sure that ' s the same for a lot of us , so
15 I wonder if you could clarify something for me
16 that I saw in the local paper last Thuzsday, and
17 I believe the reporter was talking with you, Art ,
18 referring to whether this was a speeded-up
19 process , and her question was wasn ' t this being
20 speeded up because Mr . Hamann had threatened to
21 take his petition to the County if his property
22 is not annexed by the end of this month .
23 Is that -- Could you confirm or
24 deny whether that ' s --
Deno Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
913
1 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I don ' t believe I
2 was ever asked that specific question . ' I was
3 asked if this is considered a speeded-up process ,
4 and I did say yes , it was , but I was never asked
5 that particular question .
6 MS . SHEELEY : Just drop down a
7 couple paragraphs , right below that --
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay .
9 MS . SHEELEY : -- and it indicated
10 that that was the case, and I thought your
11 indication was that that was true . It was in the
12 paper .
13 And I would hate to think that
14 any government body, whether it ' s City, County or
15 whatever, would listen to what amounts to a
16 threat .
1.7 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All annexations
18 need to be taken upon their own merit , and this
19 Council will decide that for each and every
20 parcel .
21 I have full confidence in this
22 Council, regardless of how they vote, that they
23 will vote on each property based on its own
24 merit , and that ' s all I can tell you .
rnann r.ntirt Reoortinv Service (630) 983-0030
994
1 MS . SHEELEY : Okay . I would ask you
2 to stall that vote and see what happens . It ' s
3 only four more days left in September, right? So
4 see what happens if you table it or take your
5 time, whether or not there was a threat .
6 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you . Anyone
7 else? Yes , ma ' am .
8 WHEREUPON :
9 VERNA HALSEY,
10 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
11 follows :
12 MS . HALSEY : My name is Verna
13 Halsey . I live at 2047 Bernadette Lane in
14 unincorporated Yorkville .
15 Like most of the people
16 probably in this room, I want like to encourage
17 the Council members to vote against this as a
18 property, as well as all of the others for
19 annexation .
20 Just like everybody else in the
21 room, I don' t want to see my quality of life
22 deteriorate and I don ' t want to see my property
23 values decline .
24 I am not anxious to see the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 9 83-003 0
115
1 kind of housing developments that are being
2 approved in Yorkville being approved out where we
3 expected estate zoning from the County . That was
4 what was in the plan when we moved here , and most
5 certainly would like to see that continue .
6 And I also -- Just because I
7 know it keeps coming up, I would like to say that
8 1 think you insult the intelligence of this fine
9 group of people when you keep telling us that
10 this has nothing to do with the Hamann proposal
11 for a landfill . I for one --
12
(Applause)
13 MS . HALSEY : I for one don ' t like
14 that .
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Actually, ma ' am, I
16 don ' t think I have ever said that . In fact, I ' ve
17 said that I -- and not speaking for the rest of
18 the Council that we are looking to get the
19 property under the City ' s thrown .
20 But the purpose this evening
21 and the discussion this evening is the annexation
22 and zoning of those properties , so . . .
23 Is there anyone else that would
24 like to speak on this particular piece of
no,,,, rmirt Reaortina Service (630) 983.0030

1 property?
2 Ma ' am, would you like to come
3 forward?
4 WHEREUPON :
5 LAURIE PATTEN ,
6 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
7 follows :
8 MS . PATTEN : My name is Laurie
9 Patten, and I live in the Riverside Subdivision .
10 And you keep saying about this
11 is the rezoning or the annexation, but if we
12 don ' t voice our opinion now and the vote goes
13 through as yes , what recourse or any public
14 forum -- do we have any say in terms of B-3 , it ' s
15 going to be a landfill, it ' s going to be anything
16 after you approve the annexation? That ' s why
17 we ' re here . So -- Do you know what I ' m saying?
18 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I would like our
19 attorney, do you want to speak to that?
20 MR. PRICE : In terms of the zoning
21 that ' s being determined this evening , that ' s part
22 of the annexation agreement , so this is your
23 opportunity to speak on the zoning .
24 When it comes to the landfill ,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
117
1 local zoning is preempted by the state statute ,
2 so zoning doesn ' t matter in a broader sense and
3 in a particular sense as well .
4 There are some things about
5 residential zoning, but those really aren ' t
6 applicable here .
7 Then in terms of your access to
a the proceedings , if and when Mr . Hamann or the
9 Fox Moraine people file an application with
10 whoever, whether it ' s the County or the City,
11 whoever takes control of it, and the same goes
12 for the one down 47 , the so-called Harbor
13 landfill, when that application is filed, it
14 starts an entire process .
15 There is 90 days where
16 everybody gets to examine the application and
17 then there is a serious of hearings , all of which
18 leads to a decision, and if a decision isn ' t
19 rendered 180 days from when it ' s filed, the state
20 law is that it ' s deemed approved.
21
So everybody, of course, wants
22 to get a shot at voting yes , no, or yes with
23 conditions . That ' s typically how it happens .
24
Therefore, there are public
r,--- r-„„rt Pionnrtino Service (630) 983-0030
118
1 hearings that start on Day 91 , and if you look at
2 the siting ordinance, I know everybody is trying
3 to get up to speed on the process .
4 If you go to the County ' s web
5 site or you go to Yorkville ' s web site , that ' s
6 one of the things that we are refining tonight on
7 the agenda anyway, that sets out a process for
8 how you can be involved, how the hearings get
9 conducted, how you submit written statements , how
10 you can contact people, because whoever is going
11 to hear the decision on the application, whether
12 it ' s the County Board or the Aldermen, the day
13 it ' s final they become judges , and just like you
14 can ' t go and talk to a judge at church or in a
15 supermarket or anywhere else about a case that ' s
16 before the judge, you can' t talk to the people
17 you are used to talking to your entire lives
18 about stuff in the City, have to act as judges .
19 So Staff, among other people --
20 and that ' s sort of my job, is to give you places
21 to input to Staff and then to have input of your
22 own to be part of the process . So that ' s how
23 this works . You will have many opportunities for
24 a say .
n-nn r:nnrt Reoortina Service (630) 983-0030
119
1 And then once the hearings are
2 done , there has to be a mandatory 30 —day period
3 where you can submit all sorts of written
4 comment , any kind of written comment , all of
5 which is then forwarded to these people before
6 they make a decision .
? MS . PATTEN : Thanks . I just wanted
8 to address the Council up here . I don ' t know the
9 regulations for a garbage dump or landfill
10 between areas , if there is one here , there is one
11 50 miles down the way, and this seems to be
12 rushed through so quickly .
13 Is there any knowledge of
14 anyone up there, do you guys have any knowledge
15 of any other petitions or any other developers
16 who may be within a 30-mile range that have
17 applied for permits for dumps or sites that are
18 outside of Yorkville?
19 1 mean, is it first come , first
20 serve , whoever gets to the finish line wins , gets
21 a permit?
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: As far as I know,
23 at this point in time -- and I look to the County
24 people I don' t know of any petitions that have
"___ r+,,,,.-F gnnnrtinrt SRrvice (630) 983-0030
120
1 been filed.
2 MS . PATTEN : So that ' s -- Okay . So
3 there ' s --
4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Derke?
5 MR. PRICE : And to answer the
6 question first come, first serve, a need -- one
7 of the nine things is need, and everybody has to
s show that there is a need for the landfill, for
9 the capacity and all the rest .
But we all I think read the
10
cle where there is a possibility of
11 newspaper arti
County . And there is no limit .
12 three in Kendall
13 It ' s not first come, first serve . It ' s a
14 function of whether they can show need .
And the idea that anybody here
15
16 is going to say well, I was first even by a
17 couple hours and, therefore, I can ignore what ' s
18 going on elsewhere, is facile . You would expect
19 better , we would expect better .
So the fact of the matter is is
20
21 that there is planning and they ' re serious ,
22 everybody needs experts because that ' s who
23 usually testifies on this stuff .
They are going to have to
24
Cen&,P lsmn) 983-0030
121
1 account for it , will account for it , and they
2 have to convince whoever it is , the County or the
3 City, that , in fact, there still is a need for
4 whatever else is being planned there -
5 MS . PATTEN : Regarding the
5 regulations and the codes if there was to be a
7 landfill, you said that it was regulated at the
8 state level .
9 If it ' s regulated at the state
10 level , other than millions of dollars to the
11 City, what benefit does it have to give the City
12 control over it?
13 MR. PRICE : That ' s a good question .
14 The state sets certain standards that the
13 operator has to meet . That ' s what 7 meant by the
16 state regulation . And they also pull a permit
17 from the EPA, which is conditioned upon faithful
18 performance of those standards .
19 The benefits to the County or
20 to the City are, first, they are the first
21 responders . That ' s who you are going to call
22 when there is a problem.
23 Second, in the host agreement
24 that ' s drafted here, we have an administrative
r,...,.,t,^,r.+P nnortina service (630) 983-0030
922
1 process where immediately there is a way to get
2 action taken by the City, have a hearing, there
3 is money on deposit under our host agreement that
4 could be used to pay a penalty, a fine, if you
5 will, to (A) , make -- let ' s say it ' s a welding
S plant , somebody ' s well is bad and they think it ' s
7 the fault of the landfill, so they immediately
g start providing potable water until there is a
9 determination. If it is , solve that , pay the
10 damages . Do that .
11 So local control -- Everybody
12 focuses on the money, you know, the County said
13 we ' ll give you $4 , 000 , 000 , that ' s what they put
14 in the newspaper, but it ' s as important , it ' s the
15 local control that comes in the host agreement as
16 well, it ' s one of the things that ' s up for
17 discussion tonight .
18
So local control gives you two
19 things , one , these folks , or it ' s the County,
20 does the balancing and weighing of the evidence ,
21 and then, second, once it ' s in place, you ' ve got
22 to have mechanisms because you ' re not going to
23 call Springfield and wait for them to come up
24 here or send somebody from the Chicago office ,
13Pno Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
123
1 you want immediate action, and so we try and set
2 up a framework where the people who you can trust
3 can take that immediate action .
4 MS . PATTEN : I guess if this does go
5 through, I would propose -- First of all, I would
6 vote no , but if it does go through, if there
7 could be some sort of committee or something
B that ' s held accountable because listening to
9 these people here and their complaints about the
10 odor and the smell , it doesn' t seem like there is
11 anything being done, and that ' s just a landfill
12 over there, so let alone a garbage dump .
13 That ' s --- you know, I would hope that would be
14 taken into consideration .
15 Thanks .
16 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . Is
17 there any other discussion before we move on to
18 the next parcel?

20 WHEREUPON :
GARY PICCONY,
21
fore the Yorkville City Council as
22 testified be
23 follows :
MR. PICCONY : Mr . Mayor, Council
24
„_...o,..,,,.+;.,,,CRrViCe (630) 983-0030
127
1 members , citizens , good evening . My name is Gary
2 Piccony . I am an attorney with offices at 1700
3 North Farnsworth in Aurora, Illinois .
4 I am the attorney for Eric and
5 Diane Schanze in connection with this parcel that
6 we ask be annexed into the City of Yorkville and
7 that we ask for an M-1 zoning with an underlying
8 B-3 zoning .
9 This parcel is contiguous to
10 the preceding parcel that was subject to the
11 hearing . The larger M-1, B-3 parcel consists of
12 a little over 83 acres . It ' s located at the
13 corner of Highpoint Road and Route 71 .
14 The proposed Prairie Parkway
15 would pass along the westerly boundary of this
16 property, and it ' s also anticipated that part of
17 this property would be taken for an exit off the
18 Parkway onto Route 71 .
19 The zonings requested is
20 consistent with your Comprehensive Plan, and we
21 believe that the M-1-B zoning would be a
22 substantial benefit both to the City of
23 Aurora ( sic) and, quite frankly, also to my
24 clients , the Schanzes . So that we ask that you
r,,--, r-,,,t►t Ranortina Service (630) 983-0030
128
1 annex this property into the City .
2 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Travis , do you
3 have any reports from Staff?
4 MR . MILLER: Just state the Plan
5 Commission did have a public hearing conducted on
6 September 25th, last night .
7 Their recommendation, seven
8 yes , zero voted against , a recommendation to --
9 in favor of the annexation . It was unanimously
10 in favor for the annexation.
11 The zoning was a vote of one
12 yes , six no, so a recommendation was not moved
13 forward for a -- for the rezoning request , that
14 rezoning request being predominantly one as
15 stated by the petitioner, and again, this was --
16 this did have an attachment to the Staff report
17 that included the zoning depiction . The majority
18 of the property, approximately 80 acres , is being
19 requested for an M-1 zoning classification and
20 underlying B-3 zoning . The northeast portion of
21 the property is requested for an R-2
22 subclassification, it ' s currently residentially
23 zoned, and those requests, those zoning requests ,
24 are consistent with the recommendations of the
r)gnn Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
129
1 Comprehensive Plan map for the area,
2 predominantly because of the location of the
3 Prairie Parkway as stated by the petitioner,
q going to the property .
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . At this
6 time I would open up the floor to anyone that
7 would like to come forward and give testimony on
8 this particular piece of property . Ma ' am.
9 MS . GILBERT : JoAnn Gilbert , 6730
10 East Highpoint .
11 I don ' t understand this M, M-1
12 manufacturing . There is no manufacturing in the
13 area out there . Why would you rezone it
14 manufacturing?
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Travis , do you
16 want to take that?
17 MR. MILLER: To just address that ,
18 the Comprehensive Plan does recommend
19 office/research/industrial land use for the area
20 that ' s being requested for an M-1 zoning
21 classification .
22 The M-1 zoning classification
23 would allow for those land uses and permit those
24 land uses to occur, so, therefore --
nn„n r_nurt ReDOrtinq Service (630) 983-0030
130
1 MS . GILBERT : Who decided M-1 , the
2 City?
3 MR. MILLER: This petition was made
4 by the --- by the petitioner .
5 MS . GILBERT : Petitioners?
6 MR. MILLER: But the M-1 zoning
7 classification that ' s being requested is
8 consistent with the recommendation of the
9 Comprehensive Plan, so the City, in preparation
10 and approval of the Comprehensive Plan,
11 recommended that as a future land use .
12 This petitioner is requesting
13 that as a zoning classification for the property •
14 MS . GILBERT : What does the
15 Comprehensive Plan think M-1 type manufacturing
16 would be?
17 I mean, are we going to have
18 smokestacks , too?
19 MR. MILLER: Typically M-1 --
20 Basically two types of manufacturing zonings in
21 the existing City zoning ordinance .
22 The numbers represent the
23 intensity of the permitted uses . The higher --
24 generally the higher number, the more intense the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
131
1 use
2 M-1 zoning classification and
3 permitted uses listed within that include light
4 industrial uses , warehousing uses and light
5 manufacturing uses .
6 Those were deemed appropriate
7 by the Comprehensive Plan, again, due to the
8 proximity of this land with the proposed
9 alignment of the Prairie Parkway, and the planned
10 interchange with State Route 71 and the Prairie
11 Parkway .
12 MS . GILBERT : Why would you put M-1
13 in a residential area?
14 MR. MILLER: The Comprehensive Plan
15 shows --
16 MS . GILBERT : I ' m not talking
17 comprehensive plans . We are residential out
18 there . There is no manufacturing .
19 MR . MILLER: The Comprehensive Plan
20 anticipates future development , and given the
21 interchange and proximity to a four-lane highway,
22 the proposed land use of that plan is most very
23 likely the suggested zoning classifications which
24 the petitioner is asking for, so it ' s based on a
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
132
1 future alignment with a highway, which the State
2 of Illinois is moving forward with engineering
3 and will be constructing upon funding being
4 available .
,5 As I stated at the public
6 hearing last night, there is a public hearing
7 scheduled in December where the state will be
8 presenting those plans in more detail, but
9 that -- the alignment that ' s shown at the back of
10 the room and shown on our Comprehensive Plan, at
11 the time that was prepared, it was a preliminary
12 alignment .
13 The engineered alignment is
14 still consistent with what ' s shown on that plan,
15 but the proposed alignment is slightly west of
16 the conceptual language from the map, but it does
17 still coincide with this property and makes the
18 proposed land use still appropriate .
19 MS . GILBERT : What about all the
20 pipe lines that go through that property?
21 MR. MILLER: There are some
22 underground gas lines --
23 MS . GILBERT : A lot of them.
24 MR. MILLER: That ' s something that ' s
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
133
1 protected by easement in terms of developing on
2 top of by the utility company, and they
3 wouldn ' t -- any development plan proposed would
4 have to stay out of those easements , so any
5 building being decided, any structures located on
6 the property would have to adhere to , be guided
7 by, the location of those pre-existing utilities ,
8 unless , of course, those utility companies choose
9 to relocate those , but given the size and
10 intensity of that , that ' s probably not a likely
11 option, but certainly a potential .
12 MS . GILBERT : What kind of easement
13 does the pipeline have?
14 MR. MILLER: I don ' t know the
15 specifics of the easement . Is there a -- It ' s
16 generally determined by the width necessary to
17 protect in the event that the pipeline would need
18 to be repaired or replaced.
19 MS . GILBERT : And you are talking
20 about putting manufacturing out there over by the
21 pipelines? It goes right between number four and
22 number five on here .
23
MR. MILLER. Again, we are speaking
24 of 8o acres of land.
.,_.. d.,.^r#;.,rV RP.rviCB (630) 963-0030
134
1 MS . GILBERT : I know . And you ' re
2 going to squeeze a pipeline and manufacturing in
3 there , plus the garbage dump .
4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes , sir .
5
MR. MUELLER: I have a question for
6 possibly not the Board, but -- is I understand it
7 that --
8 MR . LESLIE : State your name .
9
MR . MUELLER: I ' m sorry . Robert
10 Mueller, 581 Kelly Avenue, Yorkville .
11 At a local authority or level ,
12 we talked about jurisdiction, we talked about
13 whatever is going to be proposed, the petition on
14 this particular property, goes to a petition, and
15 if the members vote yes and vote yes for
16 commercial M-1 , the petition comes to the Board
17 for whatever property that they may propose to be
1s put onto this land.
19 I was asking does the Board or
20 the City of Yorkville have the authority to adopt
21 special ordinances before any petition of land
22 would be put on, and which, for instance , I ' ll
23 give an example like the City of Long Beach .
24 California makes -- has a state
r)-nn rn„rt Reoortinc Service(630) 983-0030
135
1 mandated EPA, they have all requirements , but yet
2 Long Beach has superimposed some additional
3 ordinances at a local authority .
4 Would that be the true
5 statement of Yorkville if we, the City of
b Yorkville, have the ultimate annexed land
7 control , would it be -- the Boards have the
g authority to add some like additional ordinances
9 above and beyond the County level?
10 MAYOR PROCHASKA: I guess the
11 attorney would answer to that . I have my
12 thoughts , but obviously we ' ll let the attorney
13 give you his .
14 MR . PRICE : In Illinois the rule for
15 a non-Home Rule Unit like the City of Yorkville
16 and a non-Home Rule Unit like the County of
17 Kendall is that we only have the powers the state
18 gives us .
19 If you remember 8th grade
20 civics , the federal government only has what the
21 Constitution gives them, everything else is the
22 state ' s .
23 MR. MUELLER: Right .
24 MR. PRICE : The states turned around
r),-nn Court ReDorUng Service (830) 9830030
136
1 to the counties or municipalities and said we
2 have everything and you only have what we dribble
3 out to you.
4 They have not given us the
5 powers to super-regulate pollution control
6 facilities . They have set certain standards .
7 To the extent that we want to
8 gain more standards to do that, that ' s some of
9 the stuff we have tucked into the host agreement
10 where we feel we are empowered to do that , but
11 the fact of the matter is the Environmental
12 Protection Agency of the State of Illinois has
13 said we are going to regulate the set of
14 standards for this , that ' s what you have got to
15 meet and prove and show, and that ' s what you have
16 to obey or we ' re going to yank your permit , so --
17 MR. MUELLER: Besides the fact of --
18 I should have not used the word EPA. Let ' s use
19 the example of there is a county regulation that
20 requires , for instance, no buildings or permanent
21 structure shall be ten foot from an electrical
22 utility underground; however, the City of
23 Yorkville could dictate that it must be 40 foot .
24 Is that a special ordinance?
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 963-0030
937
1
MR. PRICE : Well. , our building codes
2 would apply to the structures that they build --
3 MR. MUELLER: Correct .
4 MR. PRICE: so that all would be
5 part of the deal .
6 In terms of adding to that kind
7 of thing, yeah, annexation agreements can contain
8 those terms . Annexation agreements can have
9 anything in them.
10 MR. MUELLER: Right . That ' s what
11 I ' m saying . The annexation agreement -- I am not
12 that familiar with the Comprehensive Plan in
13 detail .
14 I was asking the question are
15 there any additional provisions or local
16 authority enhancements that we have versus the
17 County .
IS MR. PRICE : No .
19 MR. MUELLER: Thank you .
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: And to your
21 question, I think you ' d have to look at specific
22 ordinances and specific items to see which ones
23 you are talking about because --
24 MR. PRICE: Yeah . I remember --
nann r:nurt Renorting Service (630) 983-0030
138
1 just taking the power question . We don ' t have
2 more power than the County .
3 MAYOR PROCHASKA: No, we don ' t have
4 more power . I think it ' s whatever the state
5 tells us we each have jurisdiction over .
6 MR . PRICE : Right . The one thing we
7 do have is an annexation agreement, which can set
8 certain terms of annexation, because that ' s -- we
9 don ' t have that and, you know, they don ' t have to
10 come to us , considered arm' s length, so we have
11 that advantage over the County, but in terms of
12 the power to do things , we are in the same boat
13 as the County.
14
MR. MUELLER: I was trying to say
15 that advantage .
16 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you . Is
17 there someone else? Yes , ma ' am. Please come
18 forward.
19 WHEREUPON :
20 MARY CARLSON,
21 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
22 follows :
23 MS . CARLSON : Hi . Mary Carlson, 511
24 Highpoint .
DeDa Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
139
1 We just moved to Yorkville two
2 months ago . This is almost surreal . I cannot
3 believe my husband and I are in a situation
4 coming from LaGrange, Countryside to this
5 beautiful town of Yorkville .
6 Yesterday the attorney, as I
7 was stating my concern, told me that that was my
g realtor ' s fault for putting me in Yorkville .
9 This is what comments are being
10 made to people that are living in Yorkville as a
11 community that they want to live in .
12 My husband is at the door . We
13 are prepared to put our house up for sale
14 tomorrow . You are going to lose residents .
15 Question to the Board -- and I
16 want an answer -- what are your plans? Are you
17 looking for commercial or are you looking for
18 residents? Question . Anybody?
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Would anybody else
20 like it? I can answer .
21 MS . CARLSON : Please .
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: We look for a
23 balance of both . As far as residential , one of
24 the things that we have been -- have talked about
nano Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
140
1 in this community by the people who live here is
2 that it seems like the balance has been the other
3 way, we have an overly large balance of
4 residential coming in and not as much of the
5 commercial balance, and there has been a decision
6 to look -- or a request to look for commercial
.7 MS . CARLSON : Okay .
8
MAYOR PROCHASKA: -- to balance out
9 things for the schools and such, and by doing
10 that --
11 MS . CARLSON : We are re --
12
MAYOR PROCHASKA: -- you look at the
13 Comprehensive Plan .
14
MS . CARLSON : Okay . We are retired .
15 We bring no problems to your school district .
16 People that are coming -- we are with our
17 neighbor, who also moved here three months ago .
18 They are retired.
19 You are drawing retired people
20 that are not going to stress your school
21 district .
22 We ' re not -- What you are going
23 to be bringing to your community are a class of
24 people that are not what you want to pay your
Deno Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
141
1 taxes . That ' s what I ' m trying to tell YOU-
2
Is this what you want?
3 Because , believe me , even the dream of a landfill
4 is driving people away .
5
I am talking people that work
6 in Burr Ridge . They are aware of what is
? happening in your little town . It ' s -- It ' s
8 unbelievable .
9
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Understand
10 that that petition can be done whether or not the
11 annexations go through .
12
MS . CARLSON : Okay . I am going to
13 address that also . Okay .
14 The attorney is telling us we
15 don ' t want the State of Illinois involved, yet
16 every comment that he has made is that the State
17 of Illinois will be controlling every issue
18 that ' s being drawn to you . They are going to
19 control our odor .
20 Why don ' t we want them
21 involved? Why do we not want this to go to the
22 State of Illinois?
23 MAYOR PROCHASKA: The State of
24 Illinois regulates it regardless of whether it ' s
r,....., rrxirt Rpnortina Service (630) 983-0030
142
1 in the County or the City. That -- You are
2 confusing the City and the County .
3 MS . CARLSON : Okay .
4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . As far
5 as that goes . And, again, an application can be
6 made to the County or to the City, either one .
7 MS . CARLSON : Okay . Did he not
8 state that we do not want -- we don ' t want the
g rigmarole of the State of Illinois - messing with
10 us . Was that not his comment?
11 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Derke?
12 MR. PRICE : No, ma ' am. You are
13 misstating . That ' s not my comment .
14 MS . CARLSON : Okay .
15 MR. PRICE : My comment is if you
16 want to exercise local control, the County wants
17 to do it , they have to run a fair process . If we
18 want to do it, the City has to run a fair
19 process , and, if you don ' t, then the State of
20 Illinois takes it away from you and they impose
21 it without possibly the conditions .
22 I think the County would agree
23 the most frequent way these things get approved
24 is approved with conditions .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
143
1 But if you don ' t run a fair
2 process , they can go challenge the conditions and
3 get a landfill and also none of the benefit .
4 The host benefit agreement that
5 includes the fees and other sorts of agreements
6 about traffic and all the rest goes away if it ' s
7 not a fair process .
8 So if you want to have a real
9 voice and say whether it ' s the County or the
10 City, you need to run a fair process , and you
11 need to do it in a way that ' s reasonable, even if
12 it ' s saying no .
13 If you want your no vote to
14 mean something, it has to be done in a fair way;
15 otherwise they can go to the State and the State
16 says we ' ll take it out of your hands . That ' s
17 what I mean about local control .
18 Standards are set by the State
19 of Illinois and we try to supplement those as
20 much as possible .
21 But in terms of local control ,
22 the best way to get local control is through the
23 host condition --- the host agreements and, for
24 example, Kendall County mandates that you impose
r%-^^ r.,,vt RPnnrtina Service (630) 983-0030
144
1 conditions , you get those, and you run a fair
2 process so that whatever you decide, whether it ' s
3 no or with conditions or yes , actually has
4 meaning and is bulletproof from being changed by
5 people in Springfield.
6 You are complaining about
7 people on the -- I ' ve heard complaints tonight
8 about people in the City of Yorkville are too far
9 away from you folks in rural Kendall .
10 Do you really want people down
11 in Springfield --
12 MS . CARLSON : I am in the City of
13 Yorkville . I am a resident of Yorkville . I
14 don ' t know what ' s worse, not being or being one .
15 I really don ' t . I mean, we are so new here, I
16 don ' t know what ' s worse, that they don ' t have any
17 say or that I didn ' t get to vote for you people .
18 I mean, truly. We are all in the same boat . I
19 just -- I really need to hear .
20 So you are telling me as a
21 resident , you are really more -- you are going to
22 invite more commercial than you are going to make
23 it nice for people to retire in Yorkville?
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: No, I ' m not saying
Dann roust ReDortino Service (630) 983-0030
145
1 that
2 MS . CARLSON : Okay . ' What -- where
3 are we going? Truly, I am brand new . What do
4 you foresee in the next five years?
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: There ' s going to
6 be -- hopefully a balance of both . We ' ve seen
7 both residential growth and commercial growth in
8 the City of Yorkville, so we ' ve seen both of
g those things happening .
10 And, again, as we go through
11 this particular process , this is annexation and
12 zoning for properties into the City , bring them
13 under the control of the City, and if that
14 happens , then any petition for any development of
15 any kind on any of these properties will come
16 before the City of Yorkville .
17 And I would -- I would
18 challenge you that you moved here because I think
19 this Council has done a good job of looking at
20 balancing how things have happened, and this --
21 and these properties would be just an extension,
22 just as other communities over the years have
23 grown .
24
I mean, if you want to go back
r,--- r^r,r rrt RPnnrtina Service (630) 983-0030
146
1 180 years ago, there was a little village on the
2 waters of Lake Michigan and that area has grown
3 for the last 180 years and it ' s out here now, and
4 whether, you know, we all like it or not , growth
5 and development has come out to this part of the
6 region, and we are looking to deal with that .
7 So to me it ' s a different
8 issue _ I mean, that ' s what happened.
9 MS . CARLSON : Okay. When was the
10 last time there was an annexation of this size in
11 Yorkville?
12 MS . BURD: I think that we just
13 annexed six subdivisions a month or two ago and
14 nobody paid any attention basically . That was a
15 very large annexation that came through . Isn ' t
16 that correct?
17 And so this is actually a
18 smaller annexation compared to what we just did a
19 month ago .
20 MS . CARLSON : And that took how long
21 to annex? I mean, from the time --
22 MS . BURD : A year I think. I was
23 told a year .
24
MS . CARLSON : Okay . So from the
Deno Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
147
1 time the citizens heard that you were thinking
2 about it , it took a whole year to get them here .
3 MS . BURD : That ' s right .
4 MS . CARLSON : Now I am hearing 19
5 days? I don ' t understand that . And then I am
6 done . I truly am done . You are going to lose
7 four couples .
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: The answer to that
9 is that in that particular case, they were all
10 residential developments --
11 MS . CARLSON : Okay .
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: -- of which there
13 was a big concern of the people of residential
14 development , and they were being platted and
15 PUD ' d and different agreements all had to be put
16 together .
17 It was not a simple annexation
18 and zoning, as we are looking at these . There
19 were other conditions that were put in to further
20 along the idea that these were developments that
21 were going to add residents to the City, and they
22 actually had plats and preliminary plans and
23 concept plans for development . It was a
24 different situation .
no„n r mart ReDoltinq Service (630) 983-0030
148
1 MS . CARLSON : So it ' s easier to
2 annex to Yorkville without any idea what you ' re
3 going to do rather than try to come to Yorkville
4 with an absolute plan of what you ' re going to do
5 in this town, is what you' re telling me?
6 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Not always .
7 Sometimes .
8 MS . CARLSON : Well, but I mean, is
9 that not what you just said?
10 MAYOR PROCHASKA: It can be .
11 MS . CARLSON : If you have everything
12 planned, it ' s going to take a year . If you don ' t
13 have any idea --- I just want to come to -- I want
14 to be part of Yorkville, it just takes 19 days?
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: It can be and it
16 may not be .
17 MS . CARLSON : Okay. That ' s all the
18 I need. Thank you.
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Is there
20 anyone else that would like to speak on this
21 piece of property? Sir in the back?

23 WARREN ROGERS ,
24 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
149
1 follows :
2 MR. ROGERS : My name is Warren
3 Rogers . I own the land adjacent to the east side
4 of this subject property .
5 As I understand it , if the
6 zoning requested by the petitioner is approved,
7 it applies to the entire property .
8 I believe my property and the
9 land further east is planned for residential , so
10 I object to the M-1 and B-3 zoning request .
11 Thank you .
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you . Right
13 here, sir .
14 WHEREUPON :
15 JEFF COAN,
16 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
17 follows :
18 MR . COAN : Jeff Coan, 65 Cotswold
19 Drive .
20 I , too, would also object to
21 the M-1 zoning . This is a residential
22 neighborhood right now and, as far as I know, the
23 funding has not passed for the Prairie Parkway .
24 There is no need to change the zoning yet .
n--- rntt,t RPoortina Service (630) 983-0030
150

4 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Thank you .

6 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there someone
7 else that would like to -- gentleman in the back
8 here .
9 MR. BANKS : My name is Paul Banks .
10 I live at 9190 west Highpoint Road right across

14 do that?
15 Thank you .
16 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Miss Kramer .
17 MS . KRAMER: I was just wondering, I
18 never got an answer on adopting my questions and
19 the answers to all the public hearings .
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Can you come up
21 and speak so I can hear you? You are fading off
22 there .
23 MS . KRAMER: I apologize . I was
24 wondering if I could adopt my questions and
nnnn Court ReAortinq Service (630) 983-0030
151
1 answers on the last public hearing to each and
2 every one so I don ' t have to go through and ask

q Mr . Piccony hear them?
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes . Travis , do
6 you -- Do you want to respond if they would be
7 the same answers?
8 MR. MILLER: They would be the same ,
9 yes .
10 MS . KRAMER: Same? So there is no
11 objection?
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Right _
13 MS . KRAMER: Thank you .
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Anyone else? Sir?
15 MR. DIETER: Jerry Dieter, rural
16 Yorkville .
17 This 80 acres that we ' re
18 talking about , is there any kind of plan on which
19 part of it is going to be M-1 and which part of
20 it is B-3? Is it all 80 acres?
21 MAYOR PROCHASKA: The way that the
22 petition is read is that they are asking for the
23 M-1 with a B-3 overlay, which definitely includes
24 the entire property. It would have that zoning,
17Pnn court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
152
1 correct?
2 MR . DIETER: Does the County do this
3 normally, where they annex property without any
4 concept plan? Have they done it before?
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Has the City?
6 MR. DIETER: The City, yes .
7 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes , we have .
8 MR . DIETER: 80 acres?
9 MAYOR PROCHASKA: There ' s -- Yes .
10 MR. DIETER: Because as far as I
11 know, there is no plan for this land .
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Based on the
13 Comprehensive Plan and the proposed use of the
14 property, again, that ' s a very important issue as
15 to whether it is falling within the Comprehensive
16 Plan, too, so -- and it is in this particular
17 case .
18 MR. DIETER: The Prairie Parkway is
19 in that plan also, but we are talking six to ten
20 years away at least . That ' s why it kind of seems
21 premature to put this into effect after 20 days .
22 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , I would --
23 MR . DIETER: Let ' s hear it .
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , I would
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
153
1 suggest that from some of the discussion I ' ve had
2 right here , that having that zoned, annexed and
3 zoned, and knowing what it is for anyone else
4 coming in is going to know what it is . I mean,
5 that ' s been the argument, as to -- about the
6 Comprehensive Plan . We have a plan for what that
7 property is going to be used for .
8 MR . DIETER: Does this plan take
g into effect comments from people of the City of
10 Yorkville or the neighbors of the property?
11 Because I ' d just like to say 1
12 haven ' t heard any positives from anybody in the
13 City or rural , just a lot of negatives .
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you .

7 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Motion is carried .
8 We are now in public hearing. Mr . Philipchuck?
9 MR. PHILIPCHUCK: For the record, my
10 name is John Philipchuck . I am an attorney with
11 offices at 123 Water Street , Naperville,
12 Illinois , here this evening representing North
13 Star Trust Company, Trust Number 06-9993 .
14 As was pointed out in the
15 reading by the Mayor, the property consists of
16 approximately 760 acres . It lies immediately to
17 the west of the Schanze property that -- the
18 prior property that you just had a hearing on .
19 It has a frontage of approximately two miles
20 along Route 71 , and the property runs from
21 Route 71 on the north to Walker Road on the
22 south.
23 The applicant is requesting
24 that you enter into an annexation agreement for
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
157
1 the property, that it be left in the A-1 Ag
2 District upon annexation with the City .
3 It currently has A-1 zoning in
4 the County, and we would be annexing it with A-1
5 in the City .
6 This particular parcel is
7 slated at the Prairie Parkway interchange and
g interchange on Route 71 , would encompass this
9 property .
10 We see a variety of future uses
11 for the land, but right now we don ' t have a
12 potential use and so we want to continue the
13 operation that Mr . Hamann has operated on this
14 land for a number of years .
15 It is not a compost site . It
16 is a lawn waste recycling where leaves , grass ,
17 sticks , and- sometimes plastic, because people
18 can ' t follow rules and it ends up in the brown
19 bags and ends up on the land, and they have crews
20 out there that have to pick it up .
21 It ' s not the fault of
22 Mr . Hamann; it ' s the fault of us as citizens
23 because we seem to have some in our midst that
24 can ' t follow the rules . But be that as it may,
Deoo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
158
1 that ' s what happens .
2 The composting idea is not
3 what ' s coming for that piece of property. It ' s
4 obviously a farming area . The material that
5 comes in is ground up, it ' s land applied, and
6 it ' s plowed back into the ground.
7 The fields are rotated, where
8 one year where it ' s being worked back into the
9 soil, it ' s allowed to enrich the soil , and then
10 the rest of the property is planted, and then
11 these -- they rotate the crops every year .
12 That is what has 'been out in
13 that particular area . It ' s obviously in a
.14 farming area . There are all kinds of smells in a
15 farming area .
16 Some farmers maintain livestock
17 on their farms , and we don ' t see as much
18 livestock today as we did in the past, but that
19 doesn ' t prevent any of the farmers out there from
20 getting involved in livestock, whether they bring
21 them in on consignment for hogs or if they want
22 to raise horses or whatever it might be, so -- I
23 mean, when you live out in an area that ' s
24 farming, you are going to get farm smells .
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
159
1 And as far as a piece of ground
2 that is situated for future economic development
3 of the City, this is certainly one .
4 Obviously the high power lines
5 of Commonwealth Edison run through the middle of
6 this property. They have a 400-foot wide strip
7 of land with the erector style towers out there
3 that carry the electrical transmission, and so
9 that kind of sets a tone for the future of the
10 property, and I ' m sure as we move forward with
11 the city there will be some recognition that this
12 land, too, may have some M-1 uses that could be
13 brought here .
14 That means jobs for the
15 community . Everybody complains about the
16 traffic, but half the people have to drive east
17 to get a job .
18 If we can have our community
19 develop such that we ' re actually creating jobs
20 here in our community, that cuts down on the
21 amount of time that people have to spend driving
22 down the road to get to their employment .
23 So this particular parcel of
24 property, with the frontage that it has on 71 ,
neco Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
160
1 with the location of the future Prairie Parkway,
2 it certainly lends itself to some of the
3 discussion that has been brought forth tonight,
4 and that is , if there ' s going to be -- if there ' s
5 going to be a proposal to introduce an
6 application, whether it ' s with the County or the
7 City of Yorkville, for a landfill , this is the
8 best piece of property in the whole Kendall
9 County from a geological perspective for a
10 landfill .
11 It has what it takes to protect
12 the public health, safety and welfare because of
13 the soil conditions and the geological formations
14 that are on this particular property . It makes
15 sense .
16 There are not parcels like this
17 just everywhere in the county . I think you are
18 being very responsible in looking at this .
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Mr . Philipchuck,
20 at this time you are going for annexation and
21 agricultural?
22 MR . PHILIPCHUCK: Yes . Yes , we are .
23 That is correct . I said if an application,
24 because what I wanted to point out is the fact
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 9830030
161
1 that it is a piece of property that is certainly
2 suitable from an environmental standpoint for
3 public safety .
4 MR . PRICE : John, I am going to ask
5 you to stop . We asked Mr . Blazer to stop
6 yesterday .
7 MR. MILLIRON : Let him talk.
8 MR. PRICE : No, I ' m not going to let
9 him talk and I ' ll tell you why . Because we can ' t
10 prejudge the facts of the law . As soon as we do
11 that, then nobody is going to make a decision,
12 not the County, not these people, nobody.
13 So that ' s why he doesn ' t get to
14 talk about it and that ' s why I didn ' t let
15 Mr . Blazer talk about it yesterday .
16 Nobody gets to talk about
17 particular facts and particular criteria . It ' s
18 not worth it .
19 You guys want to have a real
20 say and a real decision by people who respond to
21 you? Then we don ' t talk about it . We do a fair
22 process .
23 If I ' m overly cautious , then
24 the worst that happens is you all have to say
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
162
1 this again at a big public hearing where it ' s
2 done right, but if I ' m right and we go ahead and
3 we say these things, everybody loses control
4 here, and that ' s the worst possible solution,
5 that neither the County nor these people know
6 anybody who takes control in whatever outcome
7 happens with the County and the City .
8 You want to have local control,
9 we ' ve got to follow the rules and not prejudge
10 anything right now .
11 This is about the general
12 process . I ' m sure Mr . Blazer will talk about it .
13 But we ' re not going to talk about particulars . I
14 told him he couldn ' t do it, it ' s only fair to
15 rule this out of order, too .
16 MAYOR PROCHASKA: We have a Staff
17 report?
18 MR. MILLER: The Comprehensive Plan
19 recommendation, Future Land Use Plan, recommended
20 for this property only includes the eastern
21 portion of this property . This is right at the
22 edge of the future boundary of the planning
23 area -- I should say of the current Comprehensive
24 Plan .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
163
1 The recommended uses for the
2 area include a mixture of industrial ,
3 transition -- radiating from that , transitional
4 neighborhood, and finally as estate neighborhood
5 as part of the 760 acres .
6 The land use pattern is based
7 on again, the Prairie Parkway alignment as stated
8 by the petitioner . A future intersection of that
9 alignment with Route 71 falls in proximity to
10 this property .
11 The request for A-1 zoning on
12 the property is appropriate zoning to allow the
13 continuation of the existing use of the property .
14 At the time a development plan
15 is presented for the property is when the zoning
16 classification will need to be evaluated based on
17 that proposed plan; the point being from Staff is
18 that A-1 is not consistent with the Comprehensive
19 Plan, but is consistent with the current uses
20 being effected on the property, and understanding
21 the driving force of the Comprehensive Plan is
22 the planned Prairie Parkway, as stated earlier at
23 the said public hearing .
24 The timing of that even though
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
164
1 anticipated in 2012 is not a guarantee at this
2 point .
3 Those are my comments on the
4 Staff report .
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Mr . Blazer .
6 You might as well go .
7 WHEREUPON :
8 MICHAEL S . BLAZER,
9 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
10 follows :
11 MR. BLAZER: Good evening . Members
12 of the City Council, Mr . Mayor, my name is
13 Michael Blazer . I am with the law firm of Jeep &
14 Blazer, LLC .
15 We are special counsel to
16 the -- to Kendall County . We were retained last
17 September to advise the County and assist it with
18 the obvious pending landfill situation in this
19 county .
20 I first want to tell you that
21 I ' m not here to attack any of you . I am not here
22 to blame any of you for anything . I 'm not here
23 to question your ethics or your motives .
24 I ' m here to talk about the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
965
1 facts , I ' m here to talk about reality, and I ' m
2 here ultimately to plead to your better natures .
3 Now, I have reserved my
4 comments until this particular appli cation
5 because of its obvious relationship to the
6 pending host agreement that ' s also on your agenda
7 for tonight which identifies this property as the
8 site for the proposed landfill .
9 Now, first, as I think you all
10 know, Mr . Price and I know each other fairly
11 well . We have been active opponents on more than
12 one occasion . I dare say we probably will be
13 again .
14 1 rarely find myself agreeing
15 with him, but I do agree with two things he said
16 tonight .
17 Number one, I do agree with him
18 that Mr . Philipchuck ' s comments were completely
19 out of order and he should have known better
20 because it ' s right , you don ' t want to shape the
21 process and you just ran the risk of doing that .
22 With that being said, I ' ll get
23 to the second thing that I agree with shortly . 1
24 doubt I ' ll think of a third.
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
166
1 Mr . Price pointed out that
2 yesterday he had requested that I not address any
3 specific siting criteria, and I won ' t do that . I
4 will -- I will agree with him. I will accede to
5 his request .
6 The first thing I want to do is
7 read into this record a redacted version of a
8 letter that State ' s Attorney Barnhart submitted
9 to the City, to the City Clerk, last week .
10 I read some more portions than
11 I will tonight into the record yesterday, he ' s
12 asked me to cut some of it back, and I will agree
13 with his request .
14 I don ' t know if you all have
15 seen it . If you want to see the complete copy,
16 it was submitted I believe last Wednesday to the
17 City Clerk.
18 "These comments are submitted
19 by my office on behalf of Kendall County
20 concerning the above referenced annexation
21 request and the property legally described
22 therein, the subject property .
23 Kendall County and Fox Moraine,
24 LLC, through their attorneys, have been engaging
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
167
1 exploratory discussions concerning a host
2 community agreement . "
3 And, as I think you all know,
4 the attorneys that State ' s Attorney Barnhart is
5 ,referring to on behalf of the County are myself
6 and my partner, Mr . Jeep .
7 "This is in connection with a
8 possible application to the County Board for
9 siting approval to locate a landfill on the
10 subject property . A request for siting approval
11 to locate a landfill is governed by Section 39 . 2
12 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act, and
13 the Kendall County Site Approval Ordinance for
14 Pollution Control Facilities, Ordinance number
15 06-16 .
16 Section 39 . 2 of the Act
17 establishes the criteria to be considered by the
18 County Board or governing body of a municipality,
19 making a determination with respect to an
20 application for local siting approval for a
21 landfall or other pollution control facility . "
22 And we enclosed a copy of that
23 statute with the letter for your reference in
24 case you wanted to read it .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
968
1 I am now skipping a portion
2 that Mr . Price asked me to skip .
3 "On May 16, 2006, the County
4 provided the Kendall County Solid Waste
5 Management Plan to Fox Moraine . "
6 And for those of you who don ' t
7 know, Fox Moraine is the former name of
8 Mr . Hamann ' s entity. That name was recently
9 changed to Kendall Highlands, LLC .
10 "A copy of the County ' s
11 correspondence to the attorney for Fox Moraine,
12 with the County ' s Solid Waste Management Plan, is
13 attached as Exhibit B to the letter . "
14 I ' m not holding it here , but
15 the City Clerk does have it .
16 "The Kendall County Solid Waste
17 Management Plan provides that landfills may only
18 be located in the unincorporated areas of the
19 County . Please refer to Appendix B to the
20 plan -- excuse me, Appendix E to the plan, a
21 resolution concerning the Kendall County Solid
22 Waste Management Plan, number 06-11 , dated May 4 ,
23 2006, and the repeated statements throughout the
24 plan that landfills may only be located in the
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
169
1 unincorporated areas of the County .
2 The County only learned of the
3 annexation request through the public notice
4 published in the Kendall County Record.
5 We have also been advised that
6 upon annexation Fox Moraine intends to apply to
7 the Yorkville City Council for site approval for
8 a landfill on the subject property . "
9 Again, I am skipping about
10 three lines that Mr . Price asked me to skip .
11 "In the event Fox Moraine
12 nevertheless " -- you ' ll have to figure out for
13 yourself what the nevertheless derives from --
14 "elects to proceed forward with the siting
15 application to the Yorkville City Council,
16 Kendall County will participate as a party in the
17 siting hearings . In the event the siting
18 application is granted, the County will appeal
19 such a decision to the Illinois Pollution Control
20 Board .
21 Please understand" -- and I
22 really want to stress this -- "Please understand
23 that we do not view this as a dispute between
24 Kendall County and Yorkville .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 963-0030
170
1 The County thought it
2 important, however, to set out its position on
3 this matter so as to avoid any future
4 misunderstandings .
5 The County will send a
6 representative to the public hearings scheduled
7 for Monday" -- yesterday -- "in the City Council
8 chambers . In the meantime, please do not
9 hesitate to call if you have any questions . "
10 I have been authorized to
11 advise you that it is obviously the official
12 position of the Kendall County State ' s Attorney
13 and of the Kendall County Board -- it is the
14 official position of the State ' s Attorney now, it
15 will be the position of the Kendall County
16 State ' s Attorney next week, next month, and next
17 year to quell any rumors that may be floating
18 around this community, that position will not
19 change .
20 With that being said, I think
21 what I really want to focus on more than the
22 process -- because Mr . Price has described it
23 adequately, it is a complex process -- I want to
24 talk more about the facts .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
171
1 How did we get here? How did
2 we get to the point where attorneys for the
3 County, the State ' s Attorney for the County, is
4 threatening to become involved in opposition to
5 your city? How did that happen?
6 On March 6th, of this year, my
7 firm, my partner and 1 , had our first meeting
8 with representatives of Fox Moraine at our
9 office .
10 Obviously there had been a lot
11 of rumors before that time, there had been
12 articles in the newspapers , there had been public
13 statements by individuals associated with Fox
14 Moraine, including Mr . Hamann, but that day,
15 March 8th, was the first time we were actually
16 physically approached by anyone to suggest
17 beginning the process of negotiating a host
18 agreement leading to the process of potentially
19 commencing a siting hearing for a landfill in the
20 property we are speaking of .
21 We then began some exploratory
22 discussions at that time, and one of the critical
23 things that we told those folks that we wanted to
24 see in advance was a traffic plan . The meetings
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
172
1 lasted maybe two or three hours .
2 The question then arises , what
3 did we do after that? Did we ignore Yorkville?
4 We did not . We immediately called the State ' s
5 Attorney and asked her to schedule a meeting with
6 your representatives .
7 And on March 15 that meeting
8 took place, myself, my partner, State ' s Attorney
9 Barnhart , the County Board Chairman, John Church,
10 your Mayor, your City Attorney and your City
11 Administrator .
12 And what we talked about at
13 that meeting was cooperation and joint
14 participation because we recognized --- it ' s
15 readily apparent to anyone with eyes and ears
16 that this facility, if sited, could have a
17 significant impact on traffic in this area .
18 So what we advised your Mayor
19 was that we wanted to cooperate with you . We
20 wanted to include the City in the process .
21 And I know, Mr . Mayor, you are
22 shaking your head, but, frankly, that is what
23 happened.
24 MAYOR PROCHASKA: No .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
173
1 MR. BLAZER: That is what we
2 discussed .
3 MAYOR PROCHASKA: You make your
4 statement .
5 MR. BLAZER: We wanted to include
6 you in the process . We offered to carry your
7 water for you .
8 We suggested that because of
9 our experience in this process , we would be in a
10 position to represent your interests as well as
11 the rest of the County because you are part of
12 this County and this County Board r epresents the
13 entire County, not just one region or one city,
14 so it was our primary concern to make sure that
15 your interests were represented.
16 We even talked about impact
17 fees because of the potential impact on your
18 roads and how we would ensure that those
19 discussions took place with this potential
20 applicant .
21 We invited- you to participate
22 jointly in our discussions , something, frankly,
23 that ' s almost unheard of in this process , but
24 that ' s what we offered.
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
174
1 What we were advised by you,
2 Mr . Mayor, as you will recall was that --
3 UNIDENTIFIED AUDIENCE MEMBER : I
4 can ' t hear . I can ' t hear .
5 MR . BLAZER: I ' m sorry . I have this
6 bad habit of moving around . I feel like I am
7 addressing a jury. I apologize . It ' s an old
8 trial trick . As you move, the eyes follow you,
9 that ' s how you know you ' ve got their attention .
10 I will try and stand still .
11 What we were told by the Mayor
12 was that he was going to informally poll each of
13 the members of the City Council to get your view
14 on how you wanted to proceed, whether you wanted
15 to cooperate with us or not , whether you wanted
16 to participate with us or not .
17 Our contact person would be
18 Mr . Wyeth, the City attorney. And he wouldn ' t
19 get back to us . Several weeks passed. We heard
20 nothing .
21 Finally I called Mr . Wyeth -- I
22 think, John, you will remember that call -- and
23 Mr . Wyeth advised me that the Mayor had, in fact ,
24 informally polled each of you and that the
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
175
1 consensus was that you wanted to deal with Fox
2 Moraine directly without the County -
3 What did we do then? I can
4 assure you, Members of the City Council , we
5 didn ' t blow you off . We didn ' t forget about you .
6 We didn ' t decide if you don ' t want to cooperate
7 with us we ' ll forget about your interests because
8 we continued to demand that traffic plan from Fox
9 Moraine . It never materialized .
10 Frankly, we know why it never
11 materialized, because ultimately they began
12 negotiating directly with the City, but we
13 continued to have your interests at heart, as
14 well as the rest of the County .
15 And as the State ' s Attorney ' s
16 letter points out , we didn ' t learn about what was
17 really happening until the public notice on
18 September 7th, because up until that time, there
19 had been some communication -- frankly, not a
20 lot -- we had been ignored to a great degree by
21 Fox Moraine as well .
22 Part of the hang-up, frankly,
23 was the amount of money we were demanding, among
24 other protections -- and this is one of those
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
176
1 areas where I disagree with Mr . Price because you
2 can build in an enormous amount of protection,
3 irrespective of the jurisdiction of the Illinois
4 EPA. You can control a lot of what happens in
5 the future .
6 Unfortunately the host
7 agreement that you are going to be considering
8 tonight doesn ' t do that .
9 But with that being said, the
10 second thing that I agreed with Mr . Price
11 about -- and this is probably where I ' ll be
12 closing -- is the comment he made to this
13 audience that they have to make sure that their
14 "no" matters , and that ' s a difficult thing to do
15 in the context of the siting process that we talk
16 about .
17 It is so complex that it
18 requires specialized attorneys with specialized
19 skills . It ' s a complicated process . It ' s a
20 constrictive process . There are these nine
21 criteria -- I promise I won ' t talk about them
22 specifically -- that you are bound to follow .
23 It ' s a difficult process to get
24 through. It ' s a complicated process . It ' s a
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
177
1 costly process .
2 And I will disagree with one
3 other thing, Derke , I ' m sorry, but in my recent
4 experience, the minimum amount that applicants
5 have spent on transfer stations , not even on
6 landfills , has been on the order of three
7 quarters of a million dollars , but -- and that
8 was in Evansville, I might add .
9 But with that being said, let ' s
10 talk about the value of a no, because your
11 discretion if you move forward down this road is
12 going to be severely limited, and that ' s not the
13 only down side of moving precipitously and of
14 making the wrong decision, because the
15 unfortunate fact of life here that we can ' t
16 ignore is that if this proceeds forward, as it
17 appears to be doing, is you will be inviting a
18 fight that doesn ' t have to occur between your
19 City and your County because what will happen is
20 exactly what we discussed with you, Mr . Mayor, on
21 March 15 that we didn ' t want to happen, that we
22 didn ' t want this group to be in a position where
23 they would pit the City and the County against
24 each other, and that ' s exactly what ' s happened .
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
178
1 So here is the value of a no,
2 ladies and gentlemen . If you say no tonight,
3 that ' s where it ends . That ' s where the County
4 can protect your interests and the interests of
5 all these people inside of Yorkville and outside
6 of Yorkville .
7 That ' s where we can make a fair
8 determination of which of these potential sites
9 might be the best site or the worst site or the
10 better site or no site at all .
11 Because you run the risk here
12 that you ' re going to have a siting proceeding and
13 we ' re going to have a siting proceeding and
14 Mr . Philipchuck will be right , and it ' s going to
15 be a race to the finish, and nobody wins and
16 everybody loses .
17 So that ' s the best solution .
18 There is your solution . It ' s a silly statement,
19 it ' s over-used, we use to our kids all the time,
20 but it applies with incredible force here, ladies
21 and gentlemen.
22 If you want to stop this
23 runaway train now, if you want to avoid this
24 avoidable fight with the County, if you want to
Depo Court Reporting Service(630) 983-0030
179
1 avoid this mess , if you want to avoid the pain
2 and anguish that these people are expressing to
3 you last night and tonight, I implore you, just
4 say no .
5 Thank you .

7 MR . WOLFER: I have a question for
8 you, sir . Are you telling me that if I vote no
9 tonight that the County is not planning to put a
10 landfill in that area?
11 MR. BLAZER: The County can ' t plan
12 to put a landfill anywhere, sir . The County
13 can ' t plan .
14 What I can tell you is that the
15 County will judge each application fairly and the
16 County will be in a position to judge at that
17 point two applications , I know there ' s been
18 mention of a third, as I mentioned, and at the
19 County Board meeting last week, that third one
20 hasn ' t really gotten off the ground . We are
21 really talking about two .
22 But we ' ll be able to judge the
23 merits or demerits of both and determine which
24 one is better placed, the one right by you or the
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
180
1 one just north of 80 .
2 MR. WOLFER: So you are telling me
3 that you are considering that and that you are in
4 a better position to be the judge of what ' s
5 better?
6 MR . BLAZER: I telling you -- you
7 know what? Let me try and suggest something,
8 sir, if I may, because, frankly, this isn ' t just
9 me talking . I can assure you . And I ' m not
10 reading from the siting statute .
11 But this is a statement of
12 legislative purpose from the Illinois General
13 Assembly; that counties should have the primary
14 responsibility to plan for the management of
15 municipal waste within their boundaries to ensure
16 the timely development of needed waste management
17 facilities and programs .
18 That ' s from the Solid Waste
19 Planning and Recycling Act . I won ' t read you the
20 citation . I 'm sure your attorney is familiar
21 with it .
22 The General Assembly made a
23 legislative determination years ago , and it
24 applies to landfills and transfer stations , but
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
989
1 it applies to landfills even more so , and it ' s a
2 determination that we made when we amended our
3 plan, that this is a County-wide issue .
4 It ' s not just about your
5 interests or Oswego ' s interests or Plano ' s
6 interests . It ' s a border-to-border interest in
7 this County . And that ' s why -- and I know -- I
8 assure you, I am not trying to dance around your
9 question because the bottom line is we have to
10 consider whatever application is submitted to us ,
11 and part of that includes is it -- is it the best
12 location .
13 I just want to add one other
14 thing .
15 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , I ' d like to
16 open up this floor of the public hearing . Yeah,
17 we really need to let --
1S MR. LESLIE : Attorney Blazer, I have
19 two questions , two-part question .
20 MR . BLAZER: Sure .
21 MR. LESLIE : Number one , the only
22 difference -- and I ' ve been dealing with this for
23 quite some time -- my understanding, correct me
24 if I am wrong, is if a no to the annexation
Depo Court Reporting Service (830) 983-0030
182
1 agreement goes forward and Hamann Properties has
2 an application towards Kendall County, these same
3 folks will be sitting at a County meeting saying
4 we don ' t want a landfill .
5 The only difference for the
6 Yorkville residents are we won ' t have any
7 control , we won ' t have any of the revenue , unless
8 there is a potential revenue sharing, but the
9 issue is not going to change . If that ' s correct ,
10 that ' s my first question I look forward to .
11 And, secondly, in filtering
12 through this -- and I appreciate your insight --
13 quoting your Kendall County Solid Waste
14 Management Plan, that you are not allowed to site
15 a landfill within City limits , correct?
16 MR. BLAZER: Correct .
17 MR. LESLIE : Isn ' t the safest thing
18 we can do as a Council, annex this into the City,
19 thus avoiding any landfill based on your
20 ordinance?
21 And that ' s why I ' ve held my
22 questions and concerns back. This is -- Believe
23 me, I ' ve given --
24 MR. PRICE: Don ' t you dare answer
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 963-0030
183
1 that question .
2 MR. BLAZER : And I ' m not going to .
3 I wish I could answer the second one . I have
4 agreed with Mr . Price that I can ' t .
5 It deals with one of the --- one
6 of those specific nine criteria . I think you
7 know what my answer is , but I can ' t say it , and I
8 wish I could .
9 MR. PRICE : Stop . Mike . Stop .
10 MR. BLAZER: I will tell you this ,
11 in agreement with Mr . Price --
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Please .
13 MR . MUNNS : Hey, you are done .
14 MAYOR PROCHASKA: This is our
15 City -- our attorney ' s advice . Please .
16 MR . MUNNS : Sit down in your chair
17 or get out .
18 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Please, we will
19 open up the floor . There is a lot of people here
20 that would still like to have comments and
21 discuss .
22 Sir, right there, come on up .
23 WHEREUPON :
24 DARREL BROWN,
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 883-0030
984
1 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
2 follows :
3 MR . BROWN : Darrel Brown, 8262 West
4 Highpoint Road .
5 If this property gets annexed,
6 when does the responsibility for the City take
7 over? Immediately?
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Upon filing of the
9 annexation to the County.
10 MR . BROWN : Okay. Because there is
11 a solid waste coordinator, Marlon Hartman, that
12 deals with the site out there, the compost site .
13 Does the City have somebody
14 that we call when we smell something? Because he
15 takes care of this now.
16 MAYOR PROCHASKA: It would be our
17 code -- our code official for the City, yes .
18 MR. BROWN: Who is that?
19 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Bill Dettmer .
20 MR. BROWN: And what ' s his number?
21 MAYOR PROCHASKA: 553-4350 . Call
22 City Hall and ask for him. Anything else?
23 MR. BROWN : What would they do?
24 Marlon Hartman would always go out to the site to
Depo Court Reporfing Service (630) 983-0030
985
1 go out to check it and make sure everything was
2 taken care of . Do you have a plan?
3 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , I would
4 suggest that he would go out there also, so, you
5 know --
6 MR . BROWN : But you are not aware of
7 a plan to take over that annexation?
8 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Pardon?
9 MR. BROWN : You are not aware of
10 things to do to take over that property, to take
11 over the role that Marlon --
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: We would have to
13 enforce the laws just as the County does .
14 Hopefully -- Well, what I ' m understanding, how
15 they try to .
16 MR. WOLFER: It ' s my understanding
17 that you haven ' t been happy with the results now .
18 1 drive by that --
19 MR. BROWN : Marlon has done a very
20 good job as far as what is regulated. There ' s
21 pretty -- Hamann can do what he wants out there
22 pretty much, but Marlon takes care of us . We
23 call him up, he goes out and checks it .
24 MR . WOLFER: But I drive down 71 and
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
186
1 it stinks .
2 MR. BROWN : He still goes out and
3 lets us know when he talks to them. It seems
4 like someone is doing something from the County .
5 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Alderman Wolfer,
6 do you want to use the mic?
7 Obviously we need to let people
8 talk here and get their comments , so that ' s the
9 whole point, to get your comments . I understand
10 your discussion.
11 MR . BROWN : Okay.
12 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes , sir . Right
13 here .
14 MR. MUELLER: Robert Mueller, 581
15 Kelly Avenue in Yorkville .
16 I did hear the comments from
17 Attorney Blaze (sic) . I have a question just for
18 the Board and the residents for your decision,
19 question slash statement .
20 I ' ve heard everybody talk about
21 the current decision that was made previously how
22 else could I put this compost pile into a rural
23 development area, and it doesn ' t sound like , as
24 Mr . Wolfer was stating, nobody is pleased with
Depo Court ReporVng Service (630) 983-0030
987
1 the upkeep, the smell is already happening, and
2 the County decided that they are allowed to have
3 a petition to put that land -- or not landfill,
4 take that back, the -- whatever this compost is
5 in your area already .
6 That petition obviously came
7 from the County with the best interests of its
8 people and it doesn ' t sound like you are very
9 happy with that decision they made in the first
10 place .
11 Now we will be leaving it up to
12 the County to make another decision for us , of
13 where to put this proposed property .
14 So I don ' t -- it doesn ' t sound
15 to me as if you are happy with what ' s happening
16 right now and now we ' re going to have something
17 that ' s even larger under their control, so I just
18 wanted to have that stated.
19 Thank you .
20 MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you . Sir .
21 WHEREUPON :
22 GEORGE MUELLER,
23 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
24 follows :
Depo Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
188
1
MR . MUELLER: Good evening , ladies
2 and gentlemen of the Council . I am George
3 Mueller . I am attorney with an office at 609
4 Etna Road in Ottawa. I live in Naperville, and
5 so I traverse Yorkville frequently .
6 I work for Fox Moraine, LLC, so
7 to many of you in this room, I suppose I am the
8 bad guy, but after Mr . Blazer ' s comments , I feel
9 it imperative to set the record straight on a few
10 things .
And I will start out by saying
11
12 that a threat delivered articulately and softly,
13 as Mr . Blazer did, is still a threat .
14 And he says that solid Waste
15 Planning and Recycling Act mandates that counties
16 have the primary obligation for planning waste
17 disposal and management .
18 However, that same act says
19 that nothing in it should be construed to deprive
20 municipalities -- that means the cities -- of the
21 power to conduct meaningful siting hearings of
22 landfill and other pollution control facility
23 applications .
24 And what Mr . Blazer and the
nPno Court Reporting Service (630) 983-0030
189
1 County are trying to do is to bully
the City into
2
abdicating its statutory responsibility and
3 prerogative .
Now, Mr . Blazer says this all
9
started on March 8th, when representatives of Fox
5 you the
b Moraine first met with him, and he g Ives
7 whole scenario of how he got here .
My recollection differs , and
8
g luckily I have the emails to support my
recollection► because Mr . Blazer and I began to
IO
11 email each other in January of 2006 .
After our development team had
22
satisfied ourselves of the suitability of the
13
14 site to to go further , we began discussions with the
County, and that happened in January, not in
15
16 March .
By the time we got to March,
17
multiple drafts of a proposed pollution control
18
facility siting ordinance had gone back and
19
talked about a host
20 forth . Parties had
21 agreement .
And you know something? Even
22
then it was all about the money because before
23
en talk to us , we had to
24 the County will ev
._...�0-,NA Frnn Service (630) 983-0030
990
1 guarantee to pay Mr . Jeep & Blazer for the
2 privilege of talking to them and for their
3 privilege of listening to us .
it got time to
And then when
4
5 negotiate a host agreement , it was the
6 representatives of Fox Moraine landfill that
7 said, you know► the City of Yorkville is right
g next door . It is the most effective community .
9 it is the most potentially impacted community .
10 They need to be involved in this process .
And one way to involve them in
II
s to adopt the modern trend of
12 the process wa
13 negotiating a host agreement that pays to
14 potentially impacted municipalities , whether they
15
be school districts or cities or townships, fees
16
or percentages of the host fee in accordance with
17 the potential impact and in proximity of those
18 communities .
Mr . Jeep ' s response to our
19
20 suggestion that a portion of the host fee go to
orkville was that ' s a non-starter .
21 the City of Y
22 'Those were the exact words . And after
23
considerable additional negotiation, they finally
24 said okay, out of a $4 host fee we propose , or

That ' s $25 ► 000 a year , which,

dentally, is less than my client has paid

So from the beginning -- and
21 on the part of
22 our perceptrvn is it ' s been agreed
t and it ' s been agreed on the part of
23 the County question we ' ve
24 the Attor ney General, because the q

1 been asking ourselves is what do we have to show
2
for the $ 30 ► 000 in bills we have paid to
3 Messrs - Jeep & Blazer and how much of their bills
4 for
a landfill site . Those questions also need
5 to be addressed .
The process that we have here
5
' s one that only starts tonight and moves forward
7 �
the stage that really most of these comments
8 into the
9 should have bee n addressed to, and that is
Ip siting hearing .
I will tell you, ladies and
11
gentlemen in the audience, I have been at
12 g both
13 landfill siting hearings representing
licants and opponents , some of which have
14 a PP eak their
15 taken 25 days ► and everyone gets to sP
Ib peace . People get to cross-examine the witnesses
and a record of evidence is developed.
I
We welcome the Opportunity to

all nine criteria that we must prove that

I ' ve sat here and even looked

9
understand which side is right . I do know this .
10 I ' m against anything
that the attorney for the

-- and I ' m not for the County
15 at the County
having the landfill either , but at least I ' ve got
16
. If there is two, I ' ve got 50/50 .
17 a 50/50 chance
18 I don ' t have anything with the City .
And the question was asked of
19
the gentleman from the County, could he promise
20 I
21 us that there ' s not going to be a la
ndfill •
22 don ' t think anybody
can promise us that , so I
3 would also like to ask the Board members and You,
2 to
2
Art , do you promise us that there is not going
Cnrvu`A (830) 983-0030
201
1 a landfill so we have a basis .
MR. MUNNS : Stop .
Don ' t be talking
2
3 about this .
MR . PRICE : I understand why You
4
want the question answered --
3
MR. PARISH : I mean, he asked the
6
7 question, SO you don ' t
MR. PRICE : And I said
S
g answer that .
MR . PARISH: Okay . I apologize .
10 But I can' t see -- None of us
IS to take
want the landfill , and I ' m going to have
12 ' m not a big
13 my sh ot with the 50/ 50 , and Y
14 gambler • percent
Y know y' all are 100 p
15 this came out , this man
the way
16 for it because of so I will
17
standing UP saying he ' s for Yorkville,
18 have to go that direction.
I think -- I hope all of you
19 I know that it ' s got
20 vote no . I mean, you know,
to be tough sitting there listening
to all of
21 a lot of us that ' s
22 this , and I ' m sure there ' s
23 made
statements that probably don' t really
understand. None of us are politicians . My
24
con.ir.A (630) 983-0030
202
x
mother told me never to be a politician and I ' m
2 sure glad .
But I sure would ask you to
3
4 vote no on this because, I mean, you know, it ' s
3 our lives . May not mean anything to anybody
6 other than us , but it ' s -- our little part of
7 Kendall County is out there and we ' re begging You
8 to vote no . Thank you .

MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . Sir .
10 WHEREUPON :
JEFFREY D . JEEP,
11
12 testified before the Yorkville City Council as
13 follows :
14
MR . JEEP : Good evening . Mr . Mayor ,
15 and members of the Council, my name is Jeffrey
16 Jeep . I am a partner in the law firm of Jeep &
17 Blazer, special counsel to the County .
I feel compelled to respond to
18
8 a couple of points that Mr . Mueller made which
19 20 were just completely false .
r the first issue of
Let me cove
21
22 our fees being reimbursed. It is common
23 practice , as Mr . Price knows and as Mr . Mueller
24 knows , that when a municipality is negotiating
- - mnnnrfinn,;Arvice (630) 983-0030
203
1 with a party, ask that they pay the costs of
2 those negotiations .
We have a situation right now
3
side where we have a landfill that ' s on
4 in Hill
5
fire . Very serious problems there . The owner of
6 that landfill is paying our fees to deal. with
7 that problem. That is standard operating
g procedure , folks .
Our municipal clients don ' t
9
pay, We ask the applicants to pay - So it ' s a
10
II cheap shot , Mr . Mueller ,
Secondly, I want to talk about
12
13 the implication that all we ' re concerned about
ting all the money for the
14 Was the money and get
15 county . That is just plain wrong .
Eirst of all , when we met on
16
7 March 8th, I followed that up with a detailed
1
term sheet , 16 pages long, that -- money was one
18
Ig component .
The first was traffic . There
20
21 were issues of we wanted to incorporate the
22 entire Environmental Protection Act , every
al statute , and enforce them
23 federal environment
24 as part of this agreement .

MR. JEEP :
II
that we were not just talking about money '
12 Okay .
MAYOR PROCHASKA:
I3 of money, when
MR. JEEP : In terms
14 here is what was
15 he sai d this was a non-starter,
16 a non-starter, so you understand .
The proposal that was made from
17 toss fee . That
Ig Fox M oraine to the County was a g
Offered $2 . 50 , they are paying You four ,
19 is , th e Y
20 4 . 27 , whatever it is . is paid to
They said whatever
2I from that of

the a deduction will be made
22 so if we
23 payments to other municipalities ,
24 were -
had an agreement of $2 . 50 and there was
-0030
(630) 983
205
I
an agreement to pay $2 let ' s say to the
2 municipality, the County would receive 5D cents •
I kept asking them, what is the
3 client and
9 proposal.? How can I go back to my
evaluate what you' re Putting on the table?
5
We never got past that We
6 April 7th, we never
7 didn' t get past that -- from

started getting some truth from this gentleman
16 who is the attorney that is making this
17 presentation .
At the meeting Last night -
18 up
and you, Mayor , whenever they would even bring
19 art of
2p that any con sideration for a landfill was p
his process , you just kept reiterating that it
21 t P
22 was s whatever came down the pipe to, came down the
i e • Well , the cat is out now . Everybody knows
23 P P
24 for sure what ' s happening .
- w_..J m--^r inn Service (630) 983-0030
207
I don' t know why you would not
1 ree County
2 want to cooperate with the -- with t
Board,
why you want to' pick this fight, why you
3
4 want to do this .
And I know you probably think
5 mind but you
6 it ' s probably for the best in Y our ,
7 did it without even checking
with the people .
8 The people don' t want this type of thing, whether
it ' s voted or not by this Council .
9 It ' s just -- I ' ve heard more
10 attorney from the
11 pertinent information from the ' s name --
I don' t know the gentleman
12 County - ou in
13 than I have heard from this Board, or from Y
14 particular , lied to . 1
I don' t like being
15 oing to go

don' t like being told that this is q
matter what in a roundabout way,
17 t hrough no was last night ,
18 because that ' s exactly what it

20 Everybody here I ' m sure has a long day .

23 go from there .
Take your citizens into
24
_L:— carvirP. (630) 983-0030
208
1 consideration . Your ideas may be good in some
2 other spots in the County and for some other
3 commercial , but this is not a good idea for us .
We don ' t want it . The people
4
really involved are trying to tell you that and
6 you ' re not listening -
You just don ' t seem to be
7
8 listening , Mayor, and I know you' ve been driving
g this from the get-go, and I know it ' s probably
10 what you want for your legacy as the Mayor of
11 Yorkville .
MR. MUNNS : The Mayor is not on the
12
your points at number five ,
13 agenda again, so keep
14 please . You have to talk about number five .
15
MR . FROST : I ' m telling you what I ' m
16 telling you because I don' t believe what I 'm
17 hearing .
MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . Marty,
18
19 Marty . Let him finish.
20
MR. FROST : Why can ' t you listen?
21 MR. MUNNS : Because we ' re talking
22 about number five, annexation and zoning -
23
MR . FROST : I ' m telling Your it ' s
24 all part of this agreement . Yes , it is . I ' m

209
I
asking to you vote no . Let ' s cooperate with the
2 County and let them have the lead in this .
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Very good.
3
MR . FROST : Let ' s go home .
4
MAYOR PROCHASKA: And if I may just
5 - in
6 address this , if anybody wants , I believe -
7 fact, I can ask WSPY ,
they actually got my
8 statement on tape last night, where I very
ecifically talked about the fact that this may
9 s p oing
10 be a landfill whether or not the City was g
11
to annex it, and that was a statement , that it
12 could be applied for either way, s o I don' t think
13
I have ever hidden any agenda or any discussion .
Back to this particular piece
14
of property► is there anyone that would like to
15
speak on this piece of property and its
16
17 annexation and zoning? Sir?
MR. NELSON : George Nelson again .
IS I see
Here is what I see here .
19
a power struggle between the City and the County
20 P
over this property being annexed and over a
21
22 landfill site .
I am urging the City Council to
23
put that aside, put that power struggle aside ,
24
1:_. camAra (630) 983-0030
210
1 and do what ' s right and what the people here
2 want .
We don ' t want it annexed and we
3 over
g don' t want a landfill , so let ' s put all the p
5
struggle aside between. the City and County and
6 let ' s vote no •
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay • is there
7
else that would like to speak? Sir? Yes -
8 anyone
MR . KOLODZINSKI : Bob Kolodzinski ,
9
10 River ' s Edge subdivision -
Mr . Philipchuck, Billachuck, or
11
I
12
im not sure what his name is , but he had said
1akes and they throw out
3 that people make mist
14 plastic in with the yard waste, so then toxic an
15 hazardous material is in the garbage dump .
Every one of those people up
16
17
there knows that happens because that takes
18 place . Every one of them up there . He admitted
19 there is errors , happens all the time .
What makes you think that it
20
won' t happen again? This could be a modern day
21
in our
22 Erin Brockovich waiting to happen
23
backyard, and it will be every one of your ' s
24
fault . So please remember that when you vote .
eo►virn (630) 983-0030
211
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Is there anyone
1
2
else that would like to speak on the annexation
_
3 and zoning of this property? Ma ' am
MS . BARNES : Did I understand the
4
� County to say that if you annex that property
6 that it would not be able to be used as a
� Id sue us to use it as a
landfill , but they wou
8 landfill?
'hat ' s what I got out of it .
9
10 Am I wrong or is that --
MAYOR pROCHASKA: No
no, that is
11 - I think
12 not what they said . And our attorney -
13 we ' re going to get off subject .
MR. PRICE : You are treading on
14 Blazer
15 unfortunately one of the criteria + but Mr .
16 and Ms . Barnhart, the State ' s Attorney,
he read
17 her
letter which is the County ' s position that it
la should be in an unincorporated area of the
19
County . I think that ' s about as much as we can
20 say .
MS . BARNES : It should be .
21
MR . PRICE: Yes . That ' s -- Under
22
their plan, yes , that ' s what they are saying -
23 do
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Mr . Gilmour,
24
..__ r•....,i,.a (rqn) 983-0030
212
1 you want to speak?
I think I can probably
MR. GILMOUR:
2
say in summary for everyone sitting on this side
3 Y
4
of the microphone , our perspective is , with the
5 County issue, and in all fairness to the
6
residents of Kendall County, I think it should
7 remain a County issue .
is going to impact other
This
8
g communities besides Yorkville, and it
10 just appears as what it really is . It ' s a land
grab and they are running rough shod over the
11
12 mechanism that already in Place for it .
I ' m also realistic enough to
13
s
14 know that if the scenario were in the County
I5
hands , it very well could be that the property
16 that you are discussing tonight could be an
17 eligible candidate for that .
I feel more comfortable with
18
the oversight and the mechanism of the County
19
20
Board and their process for seeding a landfill
21
than the City, and I really think we ought to do
22 the best thing for the County at large here .
Thank you .
23
(Applause)
24
fR.m) 983-0030
213
MAYOR PROCHASKA: All right . Is
I
yone else that would like to speak to
2 there an
3 this annexation and zoning?
(Na response}
4
MR . PRICE : Yes .
5
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Yes .
6
MR . PRICE: Just one p o int , and I
7
8 want to be clear about this .
You do have the p ower in the
9
10
Municipal Code and the Solid Waste Act to change
11 your authority .
I also want to be clear about
12
13 this , that there is no difference in the
14
heightened standards to be applied by either you
15 or the County . It is the nine criteria .
And Mr . Blazer made it
16
lear, he won' t anticipate in a
17 abundantly c
if that ' s what you
18
hearing if it is before you,
Ig decide .
So the only difference between
20
2I
a statement that says you are more comfortable
is they either don' t trust
22 with the County you or
23 don' t think you are smart enough as a team
the evidence will be
24
because the people testing
. _. ennHrtp (630) 983-0030
214
1
exactly the same, the criteria you apply will be
2 exactly the same .
So let us be clear about the
3
q process - That is the difference . There is no
,5 heightened process the County gets to impose
6 other than, as Mr . Blazer indicated, they may be
able to juggle a couple of them at the same time .
7
The standards are the same , the
8
The
9 people testing the evidence are the same .
10 only difference is who is sitting at the table .
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . I saw no
11
12 other hands , so I ' m going to ask the
13 Council to --
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay, ma ' am. Then
14
15 this is the last one .
MS . RIECKERT : Kim Rieckert , State
16
17 Route 71 .
I asked you previously, I ' m
18
1g going to ask you one more time before this goes
to vote or any further, is this the best place to
20
consider having a landfill in Kendall
21 even
22 County?
MAYOR PROCHASKA: We cannot answer
23
n, neither us , nor the County
24 that questio
carvrre (630) 983-0030
215
1 representatives . None of us can answer that
2 question at this time . None of us -
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Okay . With that I
3
would entertain a motion to close this public
4
hearing , Well, wait a minute . I see one hand .
5
You want to say something? And then this will
� D 0
7 be the last one .
B WHEREUPON :
BARB RAKOWSKI ,
9
ied before the Yorkville City Council as
10 testif
11 follows :
Ms . RAKOWSKI : My name is Barb
12
Rakowski . I live at 8450 West Highpoint Road .
13
Obviously I have a personal
14 property
15 concern because I am right near the prop
1 being annexed, my first
6 that ' s talking about
17 Council meeting and it ' s quite a handful -
17
also have a concern over it ' s
18
been such a short time span . I ' m trying to learn
19 was
the process of what you ' re doing ► and when I
20 I have
21 out in the community the past two weeks ,
22
been asking people that are actually the citizens
23
of Yorkville how they actually feel about this .
There are so many people that
24
iagnl 983-0030
216
1 don' t even know what ' s going on, and these are
2 your constituents .
I am just wondering , before you
3 lacing
q place your vote tonight , are you really p
5 it on behalf of them?
Because I don' t feel that the
6
6 community really knows that this could be a
g landfill and that -- I am wondering if they would
g prefer economic growth in a different form.
I know if I had a chance
10 be higher taxes ' I would
11 between a landfill or may
12 probably pick the higher taxes so I just want
►
13 you to consider that before You Place Your vote .
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Thank you . With
14
I would entertain a motion, unless the
15 that,
16 Council has something
else --
Did you have something, Rose?
17
MS . SPEARS : May we address some of
18
19 the statements that were made? would look
MAYOR PROCHASKA: Well , I
20
21 to the attorney . I ' d like
MS . SPEARS : First of all ,
22
to address Attorney Blazer . I would like to say
23
I know that you did enlighten us on the name
24
isv4n! q83-0030
217
1 change from Fox Moraine to Hamann .
I have no
idea why you gave us that information , but thank
2
3 You -
And then I ' d like to -- Can you
4
y curiosity,
Jeep & Blazer , was
$ just satisfy m
6
there a name change involved in that? That ' s
7 just kind of a -- I don ' t know . It s unique .
MR. BLAZER: About once a week we do
S
ll looking for our service
g get a phone ca
10 department .
But frankly, Jeff and I went to
xx
law school together, we ' ve been best friends for
12 D -
13 26 years , and his God given name is Jeffrey
14 Jeep and my God given name is Michael S . Blazer .
MS . SPEARS : Okay . Well, thank you ,
xs
I ' d also like to mention that
16
17 recently I read in the paper that you had a
18
County Board member that was quite upset because
she was not informed regarding the Fox Moraine
19 s and
20 meetings and the results of various meetings
21
this is a County Board member that mentioned
22 that , how very upset she was with this .
And you also mentioned in your
23
little presentation that your firm offered to
24
o n01 983-0030
298
1 represent our -- being
in the City ' s -- best
2 interests , and why didn' t you -- I ' d like to know
3 why you didn ' t communicate with the people that
4 you are representing, the Board members .
5
MR. BLAZER: Actually, we did . z
6 believe you are referring to --
You need to speak
MAYOR PROCHASKA:
7
8 up so the court reporter can hear you -
MR. BLAZER: I believe you are
9 Member Jesse Hafenrichterand
10 referring to Board ,
11
we discussed the fact after the meeting that she
12
had frankly not recollected that she had attended
13 every meeting of the Solid Waste Committee when
14
all of these issues had been discussed and that
,
15 we had been directed by the Solid Waste
16 Committee + by the Board as a whole and the
17
State ' s Attorney, to go through the nitty-gritty
18 of the negotiations , get to the point where we
19 would have a final draft of the host agreement , -
20 we could then bring it to the full Board, and
21 can' t negotiate this without one ,
so --
There was another board member
22
23 who -- Mr - Davidson, who also raised a concern
ting, and I think
24 about that at that last mee
- „---.4 0^m^r+inrr CArViCe (630) 983-0030
219
1 what happened there , frankly, Y think
1 ultimate Y
2
someone acknowledged it was -- and I won' t go too
far down this road -- but the Solid Waste
3 touch with the
4 Committee honestly hadn ' t been in
5 rest of the Board possibly as much as they had
to be and Mr . Davidson felt a little bit
6 wanted that
left out , but I think we resolved that at� to date , and
8 meeting by bringing everyone up
knows obviously as you saw at the
Waste
9 everyone ' clock,
Committee meeting this Thursday at 1 : 00 °
10 and it will
there will be a draft host agreement ,
II evening ' s
12
also be on the agenda for next Tuesday
13 full Board meeting .
I think those issues
So , again,
14 suggest that , as I
15 were resolved. I can only
he applicants represented and suggested,
16 think t on paper
that we not necessarily take everything
17 and we
ospel , but those issues were resolved,
IS as g ' s Attorney
19
had been communicating with the State
20 and the County Board routinely .
We ' Ve copied the State ' s
21 that we ' ve had
22 Attorney on every single exchange
e the beginning , including my discussions
23 sync on
24 with Mr . Mueller, where I asked his opinions
(830) 983-0030
220
1 our revisions of our County Siting Ordinance ,
2 because Mr . Mueller has not been involved at all
3 in the negotiations of the host agreement that ' s
,
4 been taken care of by another one of their
5
attorneys , Mr . Kalsto . Mr . Mueller , frankly, has
g been MIA since February .
MS . SPEARS : Okay . That was not my
7
8 question . Thank you -
I ' d like to know also how many
9 how many
10 people are on the Solid Waste Committee ,
11 Board members?
MR. BLAZER: Three .
12
MS . SPEARS : Three . And how many
13
do we have for the County?
14 Board members
MR. BLAZER: Ten .
15 I would
MS . SPEARS : Ten. Okay .
16
be really comfortable if that information is
17 not
on the Board .
xs
not relayed to the other members
19
And this is what -- I mean, I ' ll call them and
s ea with them and see . Because that would
be
20 p and if
21 the same , we have eight on our Council,
onl three were given privy-to information, I
22 y
23 have a problem with that .
MR. BLAZER: And, again, I don ' t
24
can,irrq (630) 983-0030
221
1 believe that ' s the case, but listen, if you want
2
to address it, but that ' s really not the case .
3 That ' s not what occurred.
Well , I ' m not bringing
MS . SPEARS :
4
the State " s Attorney in here because I think she
5 to
6 does an excellent jab, so I ' m not going
7 involve her in this .
MS . BARNHART , Well, I don' t mind.
8 ou know ,
MS . SPEARS : I am just -- Y
9
10 I have some concerns about the way --
MR. MUNNS : Can we stay on subject
11
because we can discuss all those when we get
12 he re
13 to the ordinance .

It ' s our intention to be able
2
to take that residence and those buildings down,
3
and, as a result , we are requesting that the City
4
5 Council consider the vacation of that road
6 because it doesn' t make really any
sense to

MR. GILMOUR: Forgive me, I am new
5 at this . You have not approved the annexation
of these properties that we ' ve
6 agreement on any
7 talked about? Have you had a vote on that?
a MAYOR PROCHASKA: No .
9 MR. GILMOUR: No? How can you
10 propose closing a road and voting on that and you
11 haven ' t even annexed the property adjacent to it
12 or it ' s in the City authority? You guys are
13 boggling my mind.
MR. PHILIPCHUCK: Sir, I could
14
15 address that . By statute they ' re really
16 they ' re not even required to conduct a public
17 hearing .
They' re going the extra mile
18
o allow the public to make comment about
19 here t
20 vacating the road. It " s not a statutory
21 requirement once the property is annexed.
MR. GILMOUR: It has not been voted

23 on yet .
MR. PHILIPCHUCK: That ' s correct .

MR . PHILIPCHUCK: In the event that

My client owns both sides of

MR. THUROW : I am Louis Thurow and I
2I and
22 live at 2588 Route 52 , Sheridan, Illinois ,
23 You want to know why I ' m here .
The piece of property that

23?
1 Mr . Hamann is taking
into the county with your
2
ordinance , or whatever you' re taking is , part of
3
the Virginia Wells property, which I represent
4 her . She lives in Pennsylvania .
This road that you are talking
5
about is part of our road, too , and how come that
6
7 they haven ' t been notified am asking this
- I
g attorney, he knows everything . Tell
me why we
g didn' t get notified of this .
MR. PHILIPCHUCK: We ' re
not asking
IQ
n of the road adjacent to
11 for a vacatio
12 Ms . Wells ' property .
is only the Portion of the
This
13
14
road that is adjacent where Mr . Hamann owns both
25 sides .
The portion where you sharer
16
17 we ' re not asking for the vacation .
MR. THUROW : Yeah, but it does
IS
19 include us .
MR . PHILIPCHUCK: No .
20
MR. THUROW : Yes , it does .

MR . THUROW : No, you missed the

You didn ' t notify us of this ,

and I didn' t get the notice of this hearing very
,5
& soon. I had to call up this woman that lives in

7 Pennsylvania an
8 my letter from your -- registered letter .
I feel very insulted . I think
9
you folks are really on a fast track . But I do
10
11 think that you can show a little respect ,
12
Mr . Hamann, to have -- to show her the respect of
13 closing that road.
And I don ' t think you ' ve got
14
15 the right . I think the Township ' s got the right
And I object to this , you taking over
15 to do it .
17 or incorporating this adjacent to us .
And it adjoins us , the biggest
18
19 part of it, and it doesn ' t do -- enhance our
20 value or the County at all , or even the Township
21 at all .

Each of the experts gave an overview of their background, credentials and experience
with landfills.
The Mayor then opened the floor to the public for questions.
JIM LA PORTA Resident of River's Ed e
He said he had learned of a County ordinance that would prohibit a landfill within the
City limits. He asked if that ordinance applied, if the landfill applicant was aware of it
and if it would be enough to stop the landfill. He also asked how much money might be
gained by the applicant and how much money had been invested thus far. He asked what
kind of controls would be in place for the air pollution/gases in view of the scheduled
growth for the southern area of the City and if the landfill company does their own
monitoring. He also inquired about fiberglass fibers, what prevents garbage from getting
into the air and what safeguards are in place for asthmatics and those with chronic
diseases.
Response from Mr. Beal and Mr. Schilling: There is such an ordinance that the
applicant must deal with. The amount of money to be gained is not known. Landfills
are required to have air-monitoring systems in places due to the methane, carbon dioxide
and hydrogen sulfide that would be produced. These gases could eventually be funneled
into a gas collection system and then flared or used for electricity generation. The air
quality is monitored by the landfill operator and is done quarterly with reports made to
the IEPA. The garbage is covered at the end of each day. It was suggested that written
comments be entered into the official documents.
RON NEMCHAUSKY
He thanked the Council for inviting the speakers and asked if the landfill is a"done deal".
He asked if a referendum was a possibility. Mr.Nemchausky said garbage from Chicago
is currently trucked down I-55 with some of it flying off the trucks. He also asked how
groundwater runoff is prevented from running off the garbage. He inquired about the
height of the proposed landfill since he said some landfills near Springfield are 500 feet
high. Traffic will be a critical issue as development occurs and he asked if an impact
study would be done. He also wondered where the money would come from for road
improvements and building.
Response from Mayor and Attorney Wyeth: They stated this is not a done deal,but if
the County made the land available for a landfill, it could be sited. It will not be on a
referendum, but opinions may be voiced to the Council. A clay and plastic barrier is
installed for groundwater runoff and a leachate collection system(stone &pipe system) is
placed over the barrier to draw out the liquid that is then treated. The height depends on
many factors and it was suggested this comment be placed in the official record. The
official process will end within 180 days of December 1S, and the decision will be made
at that time. Attorney Wyeth summarized the timeline of the process:
UKAFT

Presentation:
1. Presentation by City Experts on Solid Waste Siting Process, Questions from City
Council and Public
The Mayor said he would allow the experts to give their presentations,then the floor
would be opened for questions or comments.
Derke Price, Attorney
Mr. Price said he had received a courtesy copy of the notice regarding the landfill and
was informed that the application will be filed on December I". He introduced three
other experts and asked them to state their role in the review of the application. He
explained that citizens can and are encouraged to place comments in the official record.
The three experts were:
• Mr. C. Brooke Beal, Executive Director of Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook
County
• Dr. Craig Benson, Professor, University of Wisconsin
• Mr. Steven Schilling, Professional Engineer, State of Illinois
Page 3 of 5
1. Process begins with the filing of the application and there is a 90-day period in
which it can be reviewed. Questions can be submitted and the hearing will begin
approximately February.
2. Hearings are conducted with a Hearing Officer and formal/expert testimony is
allowed as well as cross examination
3. Citizens are allowed to make written comments (this will occur approximately
February/March
The traffic issue will be addressed.
MARCIA LUDWIKOWSIU County Resident
She was concerned that not many people were in attendance at this meeting and asked if
the Council was aware that another meeting was taking place on this night. She was also
concerned that some Council members were absent.
Response from Mayor and Attorney Wyeth: This meeting was publicized in The
Record 2 weeks ago, but an additional meeting might be conducted.
JO ANN GILBERT
Ms. Gilbert asked about the fate of Hollenback Creek since it runs through the middle of
the proposed landfill property.
Response from Mr. Schilling: The City has retained a stormwater company to review
the plan. A federal permit will be necessary and requires that any discharge must meet
federal guidelines. He suggested that she add a comment to the official record.
DEENA SCHROEDER lives near High Point Rd.
She asked if the land is suitable for a landfill and how deep do the experts look at the soil.
She also asked who does the soil testing—the applicant or the experts.
Response from Dr. Benson: Fine-grained materials and clay are looked for and the
material near the potable water supply is examined. The depth of analysis is determined
by the groundwater resources. He has examined the soil at the site and said that the
landfill owner will hire a technical firm bound by a code of ethics to perform several
analyses.
MR. KIM AIKEN lives on south side
He asked if the liners ever leak and can they be guaranteed? If it cannot be guaranteed,
how can these risks be thrust on the citizens in this pristine area and that the leakage will
find its way into the potable water.
Response from Dr. Benson: He said engineers operate on the assumption that liners
will leak due to liner defects. Risks must be reduced to the lowest acceptable level
Page 4 of 5
possible. He said the risk of contamination is very small. Dr. Benson added that all
landfills are equipped with detection systems and operated according to State regulations.
TOM FITZGERALD
He asked how critical the landfill owner is to the process. Alderwoman Spears asked
how a new operator is checked.
Response from Mr. Schilling and Mr. Beal: The landfill owner is very critical under
criterion#2. The owner will be scrutinized for past operations, qualifications and present
proposed operation. There is also a state licensing procedure.
JO ANN GILBERT
Ms. Gilbert stated that one company currently owns the land, another applied for the
landfill and she asked if a third party will operate the landfill.
Response from Mayor: It is not known at this time.
Alderman Besco asked if there was a public venue for citizens to review operators'
performance. The Illinois Pollution Control Board has a website providing such
information.
Alderman Leslie inquired if the experts on the panel would make recommendations at the
end of the process. He also asked Mr. Schilling how many landfills had failed of the 7
sitings in which Mr. Schilling had participated. A 50% failure rate was noted. Schilling
said the experts' role it to provide information to the City Council. An expert opinion
will be given regarding this application.
JIM LA PORTA
Mr. LaPorta asked for a better understanding of the role/affiliations of the experts in
relationship to the parties involved in the landfill.
Reponse from Mr. Beal,Dr. Benson and Mr. Schilling: The three experts briefly
discussed the ethics involved in this type of process.
MARCIA LUDWIKOWSKI
She asked if any Council members had a personal relationship with Don Hamman.
Response from Attorney Wyeth: He asked her to contact him if she had information
pertinent to the process.
Page 5 of 5
DEVIN MOOSE, Director of Shaw Environmental
Mr. Moose said he was present on behalf of the applicant and that he is the Chief
Engineer. He said it was his understanding that the final decision must be made on the
evidence in the record and that Council members are not allowed to conduct their own
research. City Attorney Wyeth confirmed this information.
TOM FITZGERALD
He asked if any of the experts lived close to a landfill.
Response from Dr. Benson & Mr. Schilling: Dr. Benson said he lived one mile from a
landfill and had encountered no problems with smells or traffic. Mr. Schilling said he
lives five miles from a closed landfill and had no negative experiences.
Ms. Spears asked for clarification whether it was permissible for Aldermen to access
websites for information on the landfill operator. Mr. Price offered the following advice.
He said the website can be accessed, however,the Council decision must be made based
on the official "record". Published opinions of the State are also allowed. Price also
cautioned that the Council members should remain neutral about this decision until all
evidence is in. He encouraged the public to contribute evidence.
Mayor Prochaska thanked all those attending and said that another meeting may be held
due to the light turnout.
Mr. Price stated that after the application is filed December 1 st, a meeting will be held
with Council members present. At this time the participant forms will be introduced to
the public, the hearing officer will be present, the website will be discussed and other
information will be provided. He said the application will also be delivered to each
Council member.
There were no further questions and Aldermen Leslie and Bock moved and seconded
respectively, to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 8:15pm on a voice vote.

RADON
RADON-RESISTANT SYSTEMS FOR NEW
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION
This informational handout has been compiled by the Department of Building
Safety and is a result of the department's OAr TRACK PROGRAM. This program is
intended to help contractors and the general public understand the guidelines and
requirements for obtaining a building permit for radon systems.
Frequently asked questions
How can I learn more about Radon? The United States Environmental Protection
Agency(EPA) Indoor Environments has more information on line at www.eva.gov/lag.
Other sources of information include the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety at
www.state.il.us/idns or 800/325-1245, or your county Health Department.
Does the passive radon reduction system installed in a home reduce indoor radon
levels? Passive radon reduction systems installed in new construction are not
acknowledged mitigation systems however they will reduce radon levels. Reduction
below the US EPA's action level of 4.0 picocuries per liter, (pc/1) of air may or may not
occur. To be sure,test your home for radon.
Why do I need to install the passive radon reduction system? Preserving health
benefits and saving money are two important reasons. A passive system can reduce
indoor radon concentration, but if the installed system fails to reduce Radon
concentrations below 4.0 pc/l changing the system over to a mechanically active
mitigation system is abundantly more cost effective. With a correctly installed passive
system in place, design and mitigation costs are greatly reduced. If you prefer, the
simpler active system may be installed during constructions and provide active
mitigation. The active system does not require sealing of all openings, gaps, etc.
WHAT IS RADON
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas known as RN-222 on the periodic table. It comes
from uranium and radium in soils, which can be found everywhere in the U.S. Uranium is
present in rocks such as granite, shale, phosphate and pitchblende. Natural deposits of uranium,
not manmade sources, produce most of the radon present in the air. Uranium breaks down into
radium which then decays into radon. This gas can easily move up through the soil into the
atmosphere. It can also move up through the soil into buildings, entering through:
0 Cracks in solid floors
0 Construction joints
® Cracks in walls
0 Gaps in suspended floors
® Cavities inside walls
0 Gaps around service pipes
0 Water from private wells
The hatemational Residential Code for One and Two Family Dwellings (IRC), published by the
International Code Council uses this definition of radon gas:
"A naturally occurring, chemically inert,radioactive gas that is not detectable by
human senses. As a gas, it can move readily through particles of soil and rock
and can accumulate under the slabs and foundations of homes where it can easily
enter into the living space through construction cracks and openings."
Radon is estimated to cause between 21,000-24,000 lung cancer deaths per year, according to the
National Academy of Sciences. Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
RADON-RESISTANT SYSTEMS
FOR HOMES
Homes can be constructed in ways that avoid much of the entry of radon. There are two general
types of radon-control systems for homes: the passive system and the active system.
A passive stack system has tow main purposes: 1) to reduce indoor concentrations of radon by
blocking radon entry points, and using the natural thermal upward movement in a vent pipe stack
to slightly depressurize the area under the slab or crawl space vapor barrier in order to resist the
entry of radon gas. 2)To provide a rough-in for an active radon control system.
RADON REDUCTION
• Because radon systems are far more simple and inexpensive to install
during the constructions phase, the EPA is encouraging building
professionals to routinely include a Passive Radon Reduction System as a
basic new-home feature.
• The National Association of Home Builders already recommends Passive
Radon Reduction Systems in our area.
• A healthful side effect of an activated Radon Reduction System is that
they improve overall air quality and help reduce:
• Humidity in the basement
• Molds
• Dust from crawlspaces
• Odors
• Soil gases

Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA)-
Division of Nuclear Safety Radon Program
Guide to Radon Mitigation
Your radon concentration is at or above the USEPA action level of 4 picocuries per liter (pG/L). What is next?
♦ Contact a mitigation professional licensed by IEMA-Division of Nuclear Safety to reduce the radon levels in your home.
Request two or three price estimates from licensed mitigation professionals. The cost of a radon reduction system
generally ranges from$800 to$1200, depending on characteristics of the house and choice of radon reduction methods.
Talk to your mitigator and be sure you understand the mitigation design.
Residents of a dwelling may install a mitigation system in their own dwelling;however,without proper equipment or technical
knowledge,you could actually increase your radon level or create other potential hazards.
IEMA-Division of Nuclear Safety Assures Consumer Protection
+► IEMA-Division of Nuclear Safety-licensed mitigation professionals have passed a radon qualification course
and exam.
♦ IEMA-Division of Nuclear Safety-licensed radon professionals work to a Quality Assurance Program
^ - approved by the agency.
IEMA-Division of Nuclear Safety performs performance audits on a regular basis to
evaluate indvidual professional compliance.

Mitigation Systems Reduce Radon By:

♦ Modifying building pressure differentials.
♦ Diluting radon concentrations with increased ventilation. F*►sr

Sub-Slab Depressurization (SSD) Sub-Slab Depressurization
Active Sub-slab depressurization uses a fan to draw radon from beneath the house. SSD systems collect radon prior to

Rev. 3 9/24/03 (IEMA-017)
Discharging Above The Highest Eave
Discharge above the highest eave ensures dilution of exhaust to the outdoor air and minimizes re-entry into the house and
exposure to persons in the yard and neighboring areas. To ensure public health and safety,IEMA-Divsion of Nuclear
Safety requires that the point of discharge be located:
Above the highest eave of the roof; ♦ 10 feet from any window,door or other opening(into the
As close to the roof ridge line as possible; building)that is less than 2 feet below the exhaust point;
10 feet or more from any opening to an adjacent building
Sealing
Sealing enhances radon reduction techniques,because reducing the loss of conditioned air
increases radon reduction system effectiveness and cost efficiency.
Al
IEMA-Division of Nuclear Safety does not recommend the use of sealing alone to reduce t
radon concentrations. Sealing alone has not been shown to Iower radon levels significantly or l` "kw
consistently.
New Construction Systems MMK
Since 1995,radon control methods have been part of the International Code Council, Inc. (ICCI) `
"One and Two Family Dwelling Code." Several Illinois municipalities have adopted variations of
the ICCI code requiring the installation of radon control methods in newly constructed residences.
These methods are known as passive and skeletal new construction systems. They may or may
not reduce radon concentrations in homes to below the USEPKs Action Level. IEMA-Division of
Nuclear Safety encourages homeowners to test their home to determine the actual radon levels.
With test results of 4pCi/L or more, passive and skeletal new construction systems should be
converted to active soil depressurization systems by mitigation professionals licensed by IEMA-
Division of Nuclear Safety. Passive New Construction
Passive New Construction
Passive new construction systems rely solely on the convective flow of air upward in the vent pipe for sub-slab depres-
surization. The system consists of a vertical vent pipe routed through conditioned space from the suction pit to at least 12
inches above the roof.
Skeletal New Construction
A skeletal system is a system that is designed for
the installation of a vent fan and may consist of
CL i multiple vent pipes. This includes vertical and
w i angled runs that are not necessarily routed through
living space that may be joined to a single
termination above the roof or may terminate
' ,.�W _ • — separately above the roof.
Skeletal New Construction Skeletal New Construction
Always Perform a Post-Mitigation Test?
Post-mitigation tests are important evaluators of actual system function.
The IFMA-Division oi'Nuclear Safety Radon Program provides: Information about radon and radon testing;names of licensed
radon ineasurcmcnl professionals;and names of licensed mitigation professionals trained to reduce radon.

RE: Milazzo
Dear Travis:
We have made the changes requested on the first page of the Joe Wywrot Memo dated
December 19, 2006 on his 3'd, 5th, and 6"bullet points. The bullet points 1, 2, and 4 were
informational only. With respect to his last bullet point on page 2 of his letter we
likewise have made that change.
With respect to the I"bullet point on page 2 we already indicate above that we will
comply with all ordinances on less varied by the Agreement, which would include Site
Design and Engineering Practice Ordinances. With respect to the 2n3 bullet point on page
2 of his letter we specifically are and talked about the 10 foot setback in parking from
Route 71 because of the limited area on the site. Finally in the P bullet point on page 2
the only reason we mentioned the easement language is for both City and our protection
that if an intervening property owner won't voluntarily give us an easement we may need
City help in condemning an easement to extend the utility for public purposes. With
those changes I believe we have made everything that we agreed to.
Finally with respect to the Mayor's request we put in the paragraph 1 a of the Agreement
language changing the Comprehensive Plan. I have also modified your Ordinance to put
that same language in effect as well. Should you have any questions or concerns please
feel free to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Daniel J. Kramer,
Attorney at Law

Lisa Pickering, Deputy City Clerk
Subject: Milazzo Property Revised Annexation Agreement
I have reviewed the partial copy of the revised draft annexation agreement, as well as
Dan Kramer's letter dated December 22, 2006, and have the following comments:
• Section 1.A.ii—This section was not provided for review, therefore I assume that
it was not revised. Since a site plan has not been submitted for engineering
review, revise this section to state that the city may require changes in the site
design based on ordinance and sound engineering practice.
• Section 1.B.b—Revise to state that the site shall comply with Ordinance 98-32,
which calls for a 20 foot parking setback from right-of-way lines for properties
zoned B-3. The concept plan appears to be in compliance or very close to being in
compliance with the 20-foot requirement. If the driveway were narrowed to be
one-way exiting the site or other minor changes were made to the site plan, the
20-foot requirement could be met.
• Section 2.B—Revise this section to require the developer to extend and connect to
the city water and sanitary sewer systems when they are constructed to within 250
feet of the boundaries of the development, and also agree to pay their share of
construction costs and/or any recapture agreements for extension of those
facilities by others as determined by the city. Remove all references to easements.
• Section 2.B.i--Replace the word "and"with the word"an" in the first line. Also
revise to clarify that the easement would be granted at no cost to the city, other
than the cost of preparing and recording the easement document.
• Section 2.B.ii -Revise this section to state to require the developer to extend and
connect to the city water and sanitary sewer systems when they are constructed to
within 250 feet of the boundaries of the development, and also agree to pay their
share of construction costs and/or any recapture agreements for extension of those
facilities by others as determined by the city. Remove all references to easements.
