to the question regarding the Bazan subdivision development. Elden Madden re-
ported to Chairman Feltz that the project had been approved by the County in
August of 1990 and recorded in September of 1990. It had not been brought back to
the Plan Commission and had not been given to the City for signature; there were
no blocks on the plat for the Mayor's signature. Bob Davidson said Alderman Gary
Bown was not available for discussion, but that he had talked to Bob Nordigan
about the matter. Alderman Bown would be back before the next Plan Commission
meeting and would investigate; the findings would be reported at the August
meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING: PETITION TO ANNEX & ZONE FROM KENDALL COUNTY A-1 TO CITY OF
YORKVILLE R-2 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, 10.57 ACRES
ON MILL STREET (ROLLING HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION) , BY GRUNDY COUNTY
NATIONAL BANK, AS TRUSTEE UTA DATED 2/1/79 KNOWN AS TRUST #682-
PRESENTATION BY ATTORNEY TOM CROSS.
The property was described as being located north of Rt. 126, east of Mill St,
south of Walter St. Approximately 1-1/2 acres need to be annexed; this is shown
on the southeast edge of the plat. The total 10-1/2 acres are requested to be
zoned as R-2 single family residential. There will be a total of 15 lots,
ranging from the 12,000 sq. ft. minimum to 1-1/2 acres. Water, sanitary & storm
sewers are detailed on the plat.
Chairman Feltz noted that the proposal was in line with the comprehensive plan
for the requested zoning. His opinion was that the main concern would be with
the engineering related to the terrain of the land.
Regarding the sanitary sewer, Attorney Cross stated that lots 11 through 15 would
have individual ejection type system. Bob Davidson said that this would be a
problem. According to City precedents, there would need to be gravity fed lines
to a main lift station. The engineer (Richard Schweickert) responded that the
issue had been researched with Fran Klaas and they had proceeded accordingly.

Bob Davidson agreed that the City did not like the idea of a lift station, but
it appeared to be the best to handle this situation. He also mentioned the
possibility of a PUD to apply to this development. Jim Clarage suggested that
it could be noted that the site plan must be approved by the Plan Commission
prior to the onset of construction.
Comments from the public were heard:
Resident of 312 Walter St. was concerned about what was going to be done
about the water runoff. He also asked about what was being used as land fill
material and what could be done to control the dust.
Resident of 304 Walter St. expressed concern with the U-shaped road and
the effect it would have on the Walter St. traffic. He also noted that
there is presently a barbed wire fence marking the property line; he wants
to know if it will stay or be eliminated.
The representative from the bank noted that they would do whatever the
neighbors desired regarding the fence.
In response, Tom Cross said that there was a provision for runoff. The engineer
said that there were catch basins, etc. and eventually the water would be brought
back to the creek. He also noted that the street configuration was the City's
request; there was originally a cul-de-sac planned.
With regard to the dust situation, Bob Davidson said that present dry conditions
added to the problem and it really could not be eliminated. As far as land fill
was concerned, the developer can use whatever is available as long as there is no
hazardous fill used.
With no further comments from the public, Chairman Feltz closed the Hearing and:
resumed the regular meeting.
PC91-12A - ANNEXATION & ZONING to R-2 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT -
10.57 ACRES - MILL STREET - ROLLING HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION - GRUNDY
COUNTY NATIONAL BANK TRUST #682 - ATTORNEY TOM CROSS
Attorney Cross stated that any questions related to storm :•rater runoff would be
resolved. Mayor Davidson asked about acquiring an easement for the future sewer
intercepter similar to what was requested on the property to the north. The
exact footage of the easement would be determined and Attorney Cross confirmed
that the developer would work it out with the City accordingly.
Jim Clarage offered his comments related to lots 9-10-11-12 on the eyebrow --
he suggested the possibility of a center island curb to cut down on the large
amount of blacktop. This could be shown on the deed covenant to insure that the
maintenance would be properly handled.
Bob Davidson also noted that some lots were large enough for duplex. Even though
a separate zoning denotes duplex (R-21)) , perhaps it should be stated on the final
as zoning for single family only.
JULY PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 3
Chairman Feltz summarized the concerns and recommendations of the Plan Commission
to be relative to the following:
1. Sewer forced main situation
2. Storm water runoff and retention
3. Easement for the future sewer intercepter on lots 12-13-14-15
4. Type of construction on lots it through 15
5. All single family
6. Island curb recommendation
Attorney Cross asked for clarification with what was needed regarding lots 12-13-
14-15. Bob Davidson said that the concern was with the grade; the Commission
would like an idea of the construction and the driveway and how it will meet the
road.
The engineer stated that he agreed with an easement for the intercepter. He also
was in favor of the island curb idea. The only issue that was of major concern
is that of the sewer forced main situation. He maintains that plans were drawn
according to recommendations previously given.
Bob Davidson made the motion to recommend the approval of the annexation and
zoning to R-2 single family residential of the 10.57 acres on Mill Street (Rolling
Heights Subdivision) with consideration given to the recommendations of the Plan
Commission regarding: sewer situation, storm water runoff, intercepter easement
on lots 12 through 15, construction plans for lots 11 through 15, only single
family residences, and the island curb recommendation. The second was given by
Larry Langland. Roll call vote carried as followed:
Davidson - yes Feltz - yes Holdiman - yes Ament - yes
Langland - yes
PC91-12B - PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW - 10.57 ACRES - MILL ST. - ROLLING HEIGHTS
SUBDIVISION - GRUNDY COUNTY NATIONAL BANK TRUST #682 - ATTORNEY

Chairman Feltz asked if there was any discussion related to the petition other
than what had already been discussed. No other details were presented. Don
Ament made the motion to recommend the approval of the preliminary plat of the
Rolling Heights Subdivision based on the same six items of concerns as noted in
the motion to approve the annexation and zoning being addressed prior to the
final plat. Clarence Holdiman seconded.
Bob Davidson asked to amend the motion by adding a recommendation to the City
Council that they consider the request of transitional fees for the schools.
There was no objection by either Davidson or Holdiman and the motion was so amended.
Roll call vote carried as follows:
Langland - yes Ament - yes Holdiman - yes Feltz - yes

Before adjournment, Larry Langland introduced a brief discussion on the growing
interest in property in the vicinity of Rt. 126 and Rt. 71 in anticipation of
the expansion of Orchard Road. He stated that there were some very interested
parties at the present time looking into the potential in the area. It was agreed
that a grocery facility would be the type of business that would draw other types
of stores to the area.
