COW Minutes 1997 01-02-97 01/0611997 08:37 5537943 YORKVILLE NATL BANK PAGE 05 a CITY OF YORKVILLE C.'(wITThE OF THE WHOLE JANUARY 2, 1997 MEMBERS PRESENT: Bob Johnson Art Prochaska Jeff Spang Jerry Lynch Kathy Jones Richard Scheffrahn Tom Sowinski T.J. Hiles Burt Callmer Jim Nanninga Jeff Baker Cindy Xetcham Guests Present : Anita Holmgren Russell Watson Michael Crouch Thomas Engler Jim Olson Kathy Farren Todd Qsbron Adam Trott Karl Norberg Jeff Wyton Jeremy Olson Fox Hollow Annexation and Preliminary Plat-The Fox Hollow subdivision is requesting that the School Transition fees be waived for their subdivision, because the property would be rented to persons 55 years and older. Fox Hollow is requesting this that they be granted a special use permit . They had also requested that the Land cash ordinance fees be waived. After the last E.D.C. meeting that they attended, they have withdrawn the request for the waiving of the land cash fees. Fox Hollow feels that their subdivision of persons 55 and older would not affect the Yorkville School District, therefore, they should not have to pay the Transition fees . There was some concern from the City Council with regards to the impact that the subdivision would have with regards to the Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District and also the Bristol Kendall P.M.S. services. Dr. Engler, Superintendent, Yorkville School District felt that it would not matter who would be living within the subdivision, that whoever lived there would affect the City and the School District. Even if the persons living within the subdivision, did not have children, the persons living there may bring their families into this area therefore creating the need for the development of other subdivisions . Alderman Prochaska was concerned that if the city were to waive the transition fees, that this would someday lead to other per contesting this matter and that waiving this fee would weaken this j ordinance. Anita Holmgren, School Board member, showed concern that all of the persons working and living in this community are all working for the betterment of the community and that the Schools are part of the betterment, that we must have educated persons to help create a better community. Michael Crouch, School Board Member, showed concern with the waiving of the fee that other developers would be asking for waivers also. That a developer could present to the City Council that maybe only 70$ of his development would be persons with school age children. Would that developer request that 30V of the transition fees be waived? Alderman Prochaska also reminded those present that the transition fees could only be assessed at the time of annexation. What would happen if at a later date someone would move into one of these units . This item would have to be written into the annexation agreement so that it someone moved in with school age children, that the fees would be assessed then at time. This issue must be presented before Public Hearing and will be scheduled on January 23 prior to the City Council meeting. This issue may still be brought forth at the 1-,16-97 C.O.W. meeting and on 1-21-97 at the E.D.C. meeting. Garling Subdivision-Parts of this property have been sold off over that past few years. The property is currently being redivided and will have to be looked at to see if this property will fall within the Subdivision Control Ordinances . The property is currently zoned B-3 . There is a need to determine if there are nay non- conforming issues to the B-3 zoning. There were also concerns for the re-building issue on the properties that have already sold off and have pre-existing structures on them. It is to be determined what doesn't conform and presented at the next city council meeting on January 9 . Property Orange and Mill-There seems to be some concern with the redividing of the property at the corner of Mild, and Orange i Streets . It seems that there is a need to review the standards that are used prior to the issuance of building permits, for future reference. This matter is to be placed on the agenda for the next E.D.C. meeting, to set in place specific policy or guidelines for the older established property within the City of Yorkville. Undesser-This matter will be tabled until the January 16, C.O.W. meeting. r Park Standards-There has been an update to the Land Cash Ordinance. The Parks Department, Joe Wywrot, and the Recreations Board have seen the corrections and are in agreement . This matter will set a standard for the wet areas in subdivisions so that a developer can j not use the area of lakes as Parks set aside property. This item I is to be placed on the January 9 council meeting agenda. Additional Business: A reminder that the meeting with the Bristol Sanitary District will be held on Tuesday, January 7, at 6:00 PM. r The large lot zoning ordinance is being revised. and will be returned to the C.O.W. meeting on January 16. These changes include the pavement of driveways, and also addressed the issue of City sewer and water vs. individual septic and wells. if city sewer and water passes within 254 feet of property that has well or septic failure, they must hook on to the city water and septic lines. The Public Works meeting change is for January 22 . Alderman Callmer has noticed that the light that shines on the flag in "Gazebo" Park is out and needs to be fixed. Alderman Callmer showed concern to know if claims from the Yorks and Corniels have been responded to. He was assured by Mayor Johnson that they had been. Respectfully submitted by Cindy Ketcham i
