PUBLIC HEARING PC 94-12 GEORGE STEWART - ANNEX AND REZONE
After excusing George Stewart, Chairman Feltz opened the Public Hearing
regarding the annexation and zoning from Kendall County Ag. to City R-2.
The property is located approximately 400 feet west of the 1000 block of
Game Farm Road on the west side of the road. It is immediately north of
a private drive. The petitioners are George and Sandra Stewart.
Chairman Feltz asked who was presenting the information on PC 94-12.
George Stewart requested a pre-annexation agreement which shows that
his property becomes annexed and zoned so that is contiguous with the
city limits for the purpose of city water. Chairman Feltz asked for any
comments or questions regarding this petitioner. It was asked by an
adjacent neighbor if Mr. Stewart was going to be the only person on that
street that would be connected to the city water or if they were planning
to connect others in that area.

Mr. Felts stated that other houses on that street would have to petition
individually for annexation, and that each house would have to pay
individually for it's own line or hook-up fee.
Chairman Feltz asked for any other questions or comments regarding this
petitioner.
There being no comments from anyone present, Chairman Feltz closed the
public hearing.
NEW BUSINESS
PG-94-12
Request to annex and zone from Kendall County Ag. to City R-2. The
property is located approximately 400 feet west of the 1000 block of dame
Farm Road on the west side of the road. It is immediately north of a
private drive. The petitioners are George and Sandra Stewart.
Mr. Feltz asked if there was anything the planning commission wanted to
discuss.
Larry Langland stated that if there were going to be more development in
this area, is there any reason why the city shouldn't put a water line
down there. It was discussed that the population in that area was going
to grow and that ultimately a city water and sewer line would be
necessary in that area.
It was recommended that Jim Naninga begin to study this issue to see what
would be feasible to install -- a main or a line.
Tom Lindbloom made a motion to approve the request as the petitioner
requested for water, and to consider future easements as mentioned by Dan
Kramer. Seconded Anne Lucietto.
Mr. Feltz stated that the motion had been made and seconded that the
planning commission approved the petitioner's request such that the
details need to be worked out for the remainder for the pre-annexation
agreement and easement and so on, and at this point it's just a single
3/4" line to provide water to the site. Larry Langland wanted further
clarification of easements.
It was stated Jim Naninga will study further what will be needed for this
area and that it will now go to the city building and zoning committee
and they can establish what will be needed.

Motion carried 6-0.
PG-94-13
Review of proposed zoning change from Kendall Co. Ag. to B-3 Special Use.
Property is located immediately west of Kendall Co. Forest Preserve
property on the southwest corner of Rt. 47 and Galena Rd. and contains 5
acres. The petitioner is Richard A. Undesser.
Jim Olsen, a surveyor, was filling in for William Murphy, who was not
available on this day, described the property as directly west of the old
state rest-stop property on the west side of 47. The property is now
owned by the County Forest Preserve District and Mr. Undesser owns the
large farms west of and adjoining that. He proposed a small general
store with gas pumps, food sales, and groceries--with a country motif.
Packaged beer and wine would also be sold.
Tom Lindbloom questioned whether it would be desirable to put a retail
store so far away from Yorkville's business corridor.
Jeff Palnquist asked if there was any dialogue with the Forest Preserve
about selling this property.
Mr. Undesser said he talked to several people. His proposal is to
purchase it if possible, and keep it for 5 years as is. Additional
landscaping and more picnics would be added, and it would be more or less
a park for five years.
Mr. Feltz stated that this land really belonged to the county and would
like to see the Forest Preserve get a good price to buy land elsewhere,
and that, as indicated by Jeff Palnquist, it was not against what the
comprehensive plan would be in that area.

Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
July 20, 1994
Lawrence Langland questioned the liquor sales and wondered if the county
would be able to take on additional policing.
George Stewart voiced concern about large signs and suggested that it was
time for the city and county to take a look at our signs and height
requirements. He said our sign ordinance was 20 ft. and would like to
start getting smaller signs.
Jeff Palmquist recommends that if they were entertaining approval of any
kind that the county develop some Rt. 47 Corridor design guidelines
addressing set-backs and signs.
Mr. Feltz stated that when you become contiguous, you would have to
become part of the city if the city so desired.
Mr. Undesser said he also had the advantage of not needing an entrance
off of Rt. 47. He said the city would not have to worry about the
building being unattractive. His farm buildings were modern and his
store would be an attractive place of business.
Mr. Felts also asked that he conform to any of the city building codes.
As restated by Mr. Feltz, Lawrence Langland recommended that the city to
go ahead with the B-3 special use, but we are also are concerned about
the signs and the city needs to work on that. We are concerned about the
county corridor and the Bob-Roy and how that is going to fit in; maybe
that would be joint discussion with the city and the county in that area.
And that the design standards conform to the city requirements also, and
that when property is adjacent to the city or contiguous to the city at
that time, it will be annexed to the city. George Stewart seconded.
Roll Call Vote:
Anne Lucietto - Yes Harold Feltz - yes
Lawrence Holdiman - Yes Tom Lindbloom - no
Larry Langland - Yes Don Anent - yes
George Stewart - Yes
Motion carried 6-1.

PC 94-14
Review of proposed zoning change from Kendall Co. A-1 to R-2 Single
Family Residential Use. Property is located .4 miles east of the
Yorkville city limits, immediately east of 9124 East Van Ramon Rd and
contains 26.046 acres. The petitioner is William J. Stepan.
This was tabled after it was suggested that it first go to a planning
council, which was suggested by the City Council. This would bring all
the technical staff of the city together to study the concerns of this
parcel. They then can make a written recommendation to the planning
commission so that it has all of the technical information needed to make
its decision. The Army Corp. of Engineers needs to be contacted
concerning the wetlands first before any further negotiations can take
place.
94-4 PURCELL
Lawrence Langland made the motion to approve the final plat of PC 94-4
subject to the items that still remain to be done by the city that are
outside of the land plan from the standpoint of the planning commission.

Harold Feltz - Yes Clarence Holdiman - Yes
Lawrence Langland - Yes Don Ament - Yes
