Plan Commission Meeting Minutes
September 21, 1994
Gregg Gabel, Vice President of G.D.L. of Montgomery, discussed the land plan of these
parcels. He stated that the project is a 38-acre parcel, located on the south side of Rt. 71
approximately 1/8 mile east of Rt. 47 and west of the intersection of Rt. 71 and Rt. 126.
The existing zoning on the property within the community is R-1. They are seeking
annexation (PC 94-17) to be R-1, but to ultimately rezone it as a P.U.D. for a mixed
residential use in accordance to a comprehensive plan, which has not yet been approved,
but is under consideration by the community. Some existing features of the parcel is a
wooded area on the south-west portion of the property, the Commonwealth Edison right
of- way on the eastern portion of the property, a single-family county subdivision on the
western part of the property and the Greenwald Homestead is to the east of the property.
The comprehensive plan hopes to save the significant forest area, and this would be
linked to a regional bike trail in the Commonwealth Edison line. The comprehensive plan
says in lieu of this consideration, maybe there is some trade-offs for density. Perhaps a
density up to seven units per acre would be a reasonable land use for this area. A
concept-sketch showed two land-uses of duplex lots and single-family, attached
development. They are intended to be owner-occupied, single-story buildings.
Maintenance would be provided by a homeowner's association. The duplex lot minimum
size, is 90X140, and the average lot size is 16,200 square feet. They would like to pattern
the development after Fernwood Gardens in Oswego. Off the public streets, privately
maintained driveway courts would serve the individual units . The lots along Rt. 71 allow
for a landscape buffer. There is only one road cut on Rt. 71. The total area is 36.4 acres
with 35 acres net when you take out the Rt. 71 area. Thus a density of 3.4 units per acre.
The amount of open space is 9.5 acres. The density excluding open space is 4.7 dwelling
units per acre. The waste would go to Rt. 47 temporarily until the future interceptor is built
at the Commonwealth Edison right-of-way.
Harold Feltz asked if all of the adjacent property owners were notified, and it was stated
they were.
Continuing, Mr. Gabel said management and maintenance of the open space could be
managed by a Homeowner's Association, or a Yorkville Park Board, or by the Kendall
County Forest Preserve.
Jeff Palmquist stated that before anything could be done, the fact that trees of significant
value exist must be established; then density could be discussed. Dick Young would be
looking at the property, and Jim Nanninga had a name of a State Forester who could look
at the property also. Mr. Palmquist said another option would be to have the OliverlNNes
Group fund the study to give to the city.
Chairman Feltz asked for any questions or comments regarding this petitioner.

OLD BUSINESS
PC 94-9 Wehrli/Green Briar-Final Plat.
Mr. John Shumacker, representing Wehrli/Green Briar asked if there were any questions.
Chairman Feltz asked if they had roads lined up to the adjoining subdivision. Mr.
Schumacker replied no. Chairman Feltz stated that there was no need then to proceed
with this petition at this point. Tom Lindbloom requested a simplified concept-sketch,
showing on one piece of paper, not six, how this subdivision ties into adjoining properties.
Tom Lindbloom made the motion to table PC 94-9 Wehrli/Green Briar-Final Plat.
Seconded by Don Ament . Roll Call Vote:
Lawrence Langland - Yes Anne Lucietto - Yes
Tom Lindbloom - Yes Ralph Pfister - Yes
Dave Dockstader - Yes Don Ament - Yes
Harold Feltz - Yes
Motion carried 7-0. Chairman Feltz stated that the Plan Commission, therefore,
recommend to the City Council they wait until there is better definition of the adjoining
Property
NEW BUSINESS
PC 94-17 & PC 94-18
Chairman Feltz read a letter from Jim Nanninga, dated September 15, 1994. The letter
recommended the Plan Commission wait for a vote due to many outstanding issues.
Chairman Feltz agreed that there was not enough information for a vote.
Tom Lindbloom stated that he had a problem with the townhome units having only one
street going in and no way out. If there would be a truck blocking the entrance, 60 units
would be blocked. Cul-de-sacs make the situation better, but generally such density is
not located on a cul-de-sac.
Ralph Pfister expressed concern over the usage of the Commonwealth Edison right-of-
way. Dan Kramer said there was a written lease from Commonwealth Edison giving the
right to a trail, but refusing to give up ownership of the area.
Much discussion was held about sewage capacity. Ralph Pfister said with all the growth,
the sewage system will be taxed greatly and these type of large developments must be

PC 94-19 Robin & Deborah Stuck-Kendall Co./Rezone from Kendall County A-1 to
R4 Planned Residential Development.
Attomey Tim McCann, representing the Stuck family, was back to present a redraft of a
drawing of a 41-acre parcel divided into 4 lots for the purpose of allowing the family
members to each own a lot in this development. The Kendall County Plan Commission
said they are in favor of the idea, but had a few requests. They did not want the road to
be public. In case Yorkville would later on like to have this parcel be a part of the village, a
compromise was suggested to have the center-line reserved from east to west through the
middle of the parcel. The building set-back lines are 65 feet and enacted now in case in
the future it becomes a public road. There is a 40 foot dedication along Immanuel Road,
and a 10 foot easement for a bicycle or pedestrian way along the eastem portion adjacent
to Immanuel Road is provided. The county requested and they agreed there would be no
direct vehicle access from either lot 1 or 2 onto Immanuel Road . All road traffic would
come off the private road. There will be a tum-around area of sufficient width and depth
to allow any vehicle to turn around in the cul-de-sac at the end. There will be a covenant
to provide large markings to identify the houses.
Tom Lindbloom asked if the 65 foot set-back lines will be extended all the way to the
western lot. Mr. McCann replied they would.
Chairman Feltz asked if there were any other questions or comments. There being none,
Tom Lindbloom made a motion to approve the request to go to the four 10-acre lots from
1-1 to R-1 planned residential development, based on the extension that was talked
about, of the center line going to the western edge of the property and the note that they
would annex when they become adjacent. It appears that at this point there's no
easements they would need. Seconded by Ralph Pfister.

PC 9424 North Bridge Street Subdivision/Replat of City Owned Lots.
Jim Olson, the surveyor representing this petition, said this property is part of the city
next to the city offices. The home on this property has been rented for several years, and
now it was time to sell off the house. There is enough room to provide for a vacant lot
north of the house, south of the Apple Tree Courts , and south of the house there is
another 87-foot wide lot. This property has been platted and is represented as city-
owned property to become a 3-lot subdivision with one house already one a lot. There
have been discussions with L D.O.T. and driveway permits would be allowed onto Rt. 47.
There is a water main in front of the property, but sewer would have to be accessed under
Rt. 47 to get to the line on the east side of the street. The city asked that since this was
such a simple request that the preliminary and the final be reviewed at the same time.
Dave Dockstader made the motion to approve both the preliminary plot and the final plot
of part of lots 7 and 8 Gale's Second Addition to the Village of Bristol and Part of the
Southwest Quarter of Section 28-37-7 Yorkville, Kendall County Illinois. It's called North
Bridge Street Subdivision. Roll call vote:
Clarence Holdiman - Yes Don Ament - Yes
Dave Dockstader - Yes Harold Feltz - Yes
Anne Lucietto - Yes Ralph Pfister - Yes
Tom Lindbloom - Yes
Motion carried 7-0.
PUBLIC HEARING
City of Yorkville Comprehensive Plan
Jeff Palmquist, wanting to focus on the land plan, explained some recent changes. At the
north end, there is more industrial land along the west side of Rt. 47, north of the railroad
tracks on both sides of Corniels. Proceeding south, on the west side there were two areas
of medium density eliminated. There was also the change of the elimination of any
attached or medium/high density along the collector south of the river on the east side.
