PUBLIC HEARINGS PC 95-5 Requesting rezoning from R-1 to R-1 Special Use(Public Service Use-Police Station). Address is 804 Game Farm Road (commonly known as the Game Farm House). Owner of the property is the United City of the Village of Yorkville. Jeff Baker said the City would like to rezone the Game Farm House from Residential R-1 to Residential R-1 Special Use. They would like to move the Police Department there until the Court House is available to them. This will allow space to open to the Public Works Department at the old Police Station. Thus, more room would be available to both them and the Police. Chairman Feltz asked if there were any questions regarding this parcel. Hearing none, Chairman Feltz 1 closed PC 95-5. PC 95-6 Requesting annexation and rezoning fro Kendall County B-3 to City B4. Property is at 707 South Route 47. Owners of the property are Illinois Truck Maintenance by Rick and Phyllis Martinez. Rick Martinez said they were directly adjacent to the City now, and they were requesting to be annexed to the City for the City services. Jeff Palmquist asked Bill Dettmer if there were any zoning violations or anything they need to be mindful of as they annex this parcel. Mr. Dettmer said when they bring a building into line, they should always go and inspect it. Chairman Feltz asked if there were more discussion for this parcel. Hearing none, PC 95-6 was closed. 95-7 Requesting a change in zoning classifications to allow Day Care Use within the Business zoning. Property is at the Northwest Corner of John Street and Cannonball Trail. Owners of the Property are John G. and Alice V. Conover and Merchants National Bank of Aurora Trustee under Trust 2175. Attorney Tom Grant represented this petitioner. He said the piece of property they have in mind is at Cimeron Ridge; on the corner.of Cannonball Trail and John Street. They would like to build a Day Care Center on this property. It is for Kiddie Campus, which has outgrown their space. They need about one acre. After going to the Planning Committee meeting, they did not see a need to rezone that piece of property (approximately 4-5 acres) piecemeal. It is presently zoned Office. When they approached the Planning Commission and City Council several years ago with their overall development plans for that property, they thought that intersection would end up as Office. They thought if they could keep it that way, they would do so, and not take only that corner and rezone it to a B-1. What they are asking the Commission to do, is to recommend to the City Council a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. If the text amendment is granted, they would not need to rezone and would withdraw the rezoning application. Jeff Palmquist said he looked at number of other zoning ordinances and said this Day Care Center would fall under Office as frequently as any other category; however, in every instance it was always a Special Use. Mr. Grant said he would prefer not to go to Special Use. It was a simple use, a building with a playground. Mr.Palmquist said a Day Care Center does have some sensitive aspects that would substantiate more specific review. Tom Grant said it is already in permitted use in the B-1 District, the General Business District. They are only asking that it be moved down one slot. If the City did not see a need for it to be a Special Use in the next Business District up, why would it need to be a Special Use in the Office District. Jeff Palmquist reminded Mr. Grant that it could still be reviewed as the City reviews all their uses 2 at some point in the near future. Chairman Feltz asked there were any other comments from the audience. Hearing none, Mr. Feltz closed PC 95-7. PC 95-8 Requesting rezoning from O-office to B-1 Limited Business District. Property is at Northwest Corner of John Street and Cannonball Trail. Owners of the Property are John G. and Alice V. Conover and Merchants National Bank of Aurora Trustee under Trust 2175. Tom Grant asked that his comments he made concerning the prior application, apply also to this request. He thought the consensus of the Commission would be; rather than going through a map amendment, it would better to have a text amendment to move the Use back into the O-District. Tom Lindblom restated that if the Plan Commission successfully recommends the text change, the rezoning would not be necessary. Asking for and hearing no further comments from the audience, Chairman Feltz closed PC 95-8. NEW BUSINESS 95-5 Requesting rezoning from R-1 to R-1 Special Use (Public Service Use - Police Station). Address is 804 Game Farm Road (commonly known as the Game Farm House). Owner of the property is the United City of the Village of Yorkville. Harold Feltz said he assumed this was for the short-term, and that was one reason to leave it as Special Use. After the Police moved to the Court house, it would revert. Rezoning could then take place when a decision for its future use is made. Tony Graff said they are asking for this Special-Use Rezoning because it was zoned Residential, and it would be illegal to move into a residential home. Michael Crouch asked if there were a rough time-frame for occupancy. Jeff Baker said the County said it would be two to three years before the Police Dept. could move to the Court House. Tom Lindblom made a motion to recommend to City Council, approval of this property from R-1 to R-1 Special Use for Public Service. Anne Lucietto seconded. 3 Roll Call Vote: Tom Lindblom - Yes Don Ament - Yes Dave Dockstader - Yes Michael Crouch - Yes Clarence Holdiman - Yes Anne Lucietto - Yes Jack Magnuson - Yes Ralph Pfister - Yes Harold Feltz - Yes Motion passed 9-0.

Owners of the property are Illinois Truck Maintenance by Rick and Phyllis Martinez. Harold Feltz said that if they did approve, this property would be subject to inspection for conformance to City requirements. The purpose of annexation would be to use the City's services.

Owners of the Property are John G. and Alice V. Conover and Merchants National Bank of Aurora Trustee under Trust 2175. Anne Lucietto said in looking at the Zoning Ordinance at the O-Office and the B-1,there were a few things that overlap. She thought this could go ahead,and be added to the 0, rather than making an issue of it. Jeff Palmquist said he also found Day Care in multiple categories, and he thought it would be very logical to extend it into the 0. Tom Lindblom moved to recommend to the City Council a change of text, adding Day Care Centers to the O-Zoning. Anne Lucietto seconded. Roll Call Vote: Ralph Pfister - Yes Michael Crouch - Yes Clarence Holdiman - Yes Tom Lindblom - Yes Harold Feltz - Yes Dave Dockstader - Yes Jack Magnuson - Yes Don Ament - Yes Anne Lucietto - Yes Motion passed: 9-0.

Hiles said that if the Plan Commission recommends to City Council to amend the O-Zoning to include Child Care Centers,and the Council decides they do not wish to do so,Mr. Grant must come back and ask for a recommendation on rezoning. 5 Michael Crouch recommended then to table PC 95-8, and Jack Magnuson seconded. Harold Feltz - Yes Jack Magnuson - Yes Don Ament - Yes Dave Dockstader - Yes Michael Crouch - Yes Clarence Holdiman - Yes Ralph Pfister - Yes Anne Lucietto - Yes Tom Lindblom - Yes Motion passed. 9-4. PUBLIC HEARING PC 95-4 Requesting annexation and rezoning from Kendall County Ag-1 Special Use to City R-1 One Family Residence District. Address is 3205 Cannonball Trail. Owner of the property is New Life Assembly of God. Reverend Richard Turner said he was here to come in to code for his new sign for the Church and to possibly get a pre-annexation and zoning agreement. Bill Dettmer said he was given the assignment to meet between the County and Reverend Turner. The County had informed Reverend Turner that he would need to go for a Special-Use permit for his whole parcel,which would have been very costly. It was determined that it would be financially better for them to go through the City. Mr.Dettmer inspected the sign, which was well-built. They still need a sign variance due to its size.
