Edmeier Annexation and Preliminary Plat-The Edmeier preliminary
Plat and Annexation has been to both the Plan Commission b both and
Economic Development Committees and has been app Y
are being recommended to council. . The Zoning, Preliminary Plan and
Annexation are all contingent on the P.U.D. This item is to be
placed on the agenda for December 19 Council meeting.
Fox Hollow Annexation and Preliminary Plat-Fox Hollow group has
requested that either the Land Cash or the Transition fees be
waived for the subdivision. The subdivision will be available to
persons that are 55 years of age and older, therefore would not
affect the Yorkville School District. The Fox Hollow persons have
felt that the residents living there would not have school age
people in residence, and did not feel that they should be assessed }
the fees . The Fox Hollow persons also assured the City of
Yorkville Personnel that if at a future date, if someone did
actually move into residence with school age children, then at that
time they should be assessed the transition fees . The Fox Hollow
personnel would be in control of the resident status and would
therefore allow only persons 55 or older to rent. Fox Hollow
persons also felt that since the "Tap On" fees have been increased
from $200 .00 to $2, 000 . 00, they felt the fees were unfair. This
item will be placed on the agenda for the January 2, 1997 C.O,Nt
meeting.
B.O.C.A. Code Modifications-The 195 C.A.B.O. Building Code, that
makes reference to the height and rise of stairs, has been
discussed at the Economic Development Committee meetings and there
are beliefs that this item will be developed into a National Code
x%'r
by the year 2000. There is also discussion on the Fire Suppression
systems that are used in attached dwellings, for example, townhomes
and duplexes. Smoke Detectors and sprinkler systems would create
a slow down if a fire should break out. The water mains would not
need to be adjusted as per the norm and would maintain about
$1, 040 . 00 cost per unit. This item would crest a lessor insurance
risk, creating a lower premium, and the builder would see a payback
in a 3 to 4 year time frame. The community of Long Grove requires
these on all types of dwellings for single family dwellings and
attached homes. Some committee members felt that this would
strengthen the building standards. E.D.C. strongly recommends this
and would like to have this item placed on the December 19 council
agenda.
Contractor Registration-The City of Yorkville has requested that
all contractors building within the city limits, be registered.
This would require the contractor to register with the city, $20.00
fee, and to post a $10, 000.00 Bond and show proof of $1, 000, 000 .00
in insurance . This would maintain a high standard in the
contractors and maintain strength and stability in the units that
they create. Homeowners that work on their own homes are exempt.
The builder is the registering person. This item was recommended
by the committee and will be placed on the December 19 agenda.
Garling Subdivision-Mr Dollman was not in attendance and this item
will be tabled until. the C.O.W. meeting on January 2 .
Land Cash Account-There is a request to create a separate account
for the parks . The council would place the monies into this
account, the billing would then, after being approved by the rec
board, be paid out of this fund. This would expedite the payment
of bills . This item will be sent back to Administrative Committee
for a resolution.
October and November Building Reports will be placed on the
December 19 agenda for approval .
September, October, November Police Reports-The monthly police
reports have been presented to Public Safety.
Proposed Ordinance-There was some discussion on creating an
ordinance that would prevent persons from passing on the right.
This would not allow passing on the right and the ability to post
these intersections . This item to be presented on the December 19
agenda.
i
Renewal for Intergovernmental. Agreement for School Liaison Officer-
The agreement to renew would remain the dame as the current 1995-
1.996 agreement . This would maintain the school to pay $16, 000 .00
towards the defrayment of the salary of the current D.A.R.E.
officers available at the school buildings . This item is to be �
placed on the agenda for December 19 council meeting.
an mtryside Intersection Update-The warrant analysis has been made
and Yorkville feels that a light should be placed there. The
information will be sent to I .D.O.T. This item will be brought to
C.O.W. in January 97.
Voicemail Update-The billing for the Voicemail system is
approximately $17, 000.00 . Grant money, $12, 600 .00, has been
requested from the justice department.
Streetlight Update-There have been a► few of the lights repaired to
working order. Commonwealth Edison has been working along with the
city to help in this matter.
Hold Harmless Bennett-There was some discussion on the hold
harmless clause with reference to both city employees and with Mr.
Bennetts employees.
The September and October Treasurer' s Reports will be placed on the
December 19 council agenda.
Additional Business:
There was some concern with the Building Permit that was issued on
the property at Mill and Orange Streets. It seems that the
property had been redivided and the building permit was issued.
This issue needs to be presented to Mr. Dettmer and Atty. Kramer.
Mayor Johnson would like to nominate Sharon Rollins to be appointed
to the Library Board. This item is to be placed on the agenda for
December 19 council meeting.
The Committee of the tRhole meeting was then adjourned and a motion
was made to retire to Executive Session.
