The May meeting of the Plan commission was called to order by Chairman Harold Feltz with the following members in attendance: Harold Feltz, George Stewart, Clarence Holdiman, Larry Langland, Sandra Adams, Gail Digate, Bob Davidson Absent: Don Ament, Tom Lindbloom, Kevin Collman, Anne Lucietto, Louis Nauman Others present: Alderman Gary Bolan, Attorney Tom Grant; and others as listed on the sign-in sheet on file with the minutes The minutes of the April meeting were presented for approval; Larry Langland so moved and Gail Digate seconded. Chairman Feltz stated that Mr. Clarage would not be attendance at the meeting, but indicated that he would be mailing the comprehensive plan within the week and would like to be on the agenda of the next meeting to discuss the same. The first order of business was the Public Hearing. Chairman Feltz asked those who wished to speak to be sworn in. REZONE B-1 TO R-2 DUPLEX, LOT 10, HILLCREST AVENUE BY JOHN G. & ALICE V. CONOVER Attorney Grant presented the factual information on the proposed use of the property and presented the affidavits of notice mailed to adjacent land owners. He noted the request was to rezone to the new classification for duplex zoning. There would also be a variance asked for due the new increased minimum lot size stated in the new classification. (from 12,000 to 15,000 sq. ft. ) No variations on setbacks would be asked for. He further explained how the proposed use would fit in with the general area. Comments from the public were then heard. Mrs. Rose Slamans questioned the construction of two duplex units and asked why only one could not be considered since it would fit nicely and would not crowd the area. Attorney Grant said that the proposed lot sizes would be comparable to other duplex lots in the area and would not create density problems. Alderman Bown noted that lot #10 was now platted as one lot and asked if the petition was to re-plat into two lots. Attorney Grant said that a lot within a recorded subdivision could be split without a formal plat of subdivision as long as it was less than one acre. In response to another question from the public, Chairman Feltz offered some comparisons of the types of uses that could have been allowed should the lot remain business zoning rather than the requested duplex zoning. After the questions were presented and answered satisfactorily, those in attendance voiced their agreement on the proposed duplex zoning. f MINUTES OF THE MAY PLAN COMMISSION MEETING PAGE 2 With no further comments from the public, Chairman Feltz closed the Public Hearing. The regular meeting of the Plan Commission meeting resumed: PC91-6 -- REZONE B-1 TO R-2 DUPLEX, LOT 10, HILLCREST AVENUE BY JOHN G. & ALICE CONOVER Attorney Grant asked that his comments and the discussion from the Public Hearing be incorporated into the minutes of the regular meeting. Jim Clarage had spoken with both Attorney Grant and Chairman Feltz and stated that from a technical standpoint he did not see any problem with the request. Gail Digate made the motion to recommeand the approval of the rezoning from B-1 to R-2 duplex of lot #10, Hillcrest Avenue. Sandy Adams gave the second. Bob Davidson asked that the minutes show that there was an agreement between the City of Yorkville and John Conover that if there was a lot variance of size the City would work with the Conovers in zoning so that the property could be developed. The agreement was between Bob Davidson (on behalf of the City) and John Conover. Voice vote carried the motion as follows: Langland - Yes Adams - Yes Digate - Yes Davidson - Yes Feltz - Yes Stewart - Yes Holdiman - Yes Bob Davidson opened discussion on the County Comprehensive Plan. He suggested that the Plan Commission should make their recommendations and feelings on the growth as far as the city is concerned. He said that it would be advantageous for the County planner to know the feelings of the Plan Commission. Chairman Feltz suggested that the matter be discussed at the next meeting along with the Comprehensive Plan for the City; a copy of the proposed plan could be given to the County. Larry Langland thought that perhaps the Mayor could initiate a joint meeting after we have the City plan set and in force. Discussion followed on such items as boundaries for city limits, extension, etc. , to establish territory. The amount of open land available makes Kendall County an attractive area. Gail Digate stressed the importance of discussion as related to the school district where growth is concerned. George Stewart moved to adjourn the meeting; Larry Langland seconded. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Joanne M. Ellertson, Recording Secretary A ' 1 PLAN COMMISSION/SIGN-IN SHEET ' /5l / NAME ADDRESS op r
