PC 969610 Inland Partnership -Concept Plan/ Faxon Rd.
Greg Gable, representing Inland, introduced Steve Hovaney (President of
Strategy Planning Association ) to review the concept plan. Mr. Hovaney
passed out a study of the net fiscal impact to the City of Yorkville. Inland is
proposing a manufactured housing subdivision restricted to Senior Citizens. It is
divided by Rob Roy Creek. East of the creek they are suggesting a collector
street from Rt 34 to Rt.47. West of Rob Roy Creek they are proposing attached
housing with an executive golf course which would be open to the public. He
explained the tax impact manufactured housing would have on the city.
Manufactured housing is assessed differently than a normal home. The house
itself is considered personal property, not real estate. The lot is considered real
estate and would be assessed at a$27,000 value. The homeowner would pay a
privilege tax, (mobile home tax), which is $.15 sq. ft. up to three years and then
it drops over a three year increment to $.07 sq. ft. and stays there. The revenue
is distributed as a real estate tax to the taxing bodies. They are figuring 2,030
residents in this project with the build out expected in 13-14 years. He predicts
about 154 school aged children being added in the Yorkville/Plano School
Districts and explained Inland would pay Land Cash and Transition Fees. Mr.
Gable asked for the Committee to think about amending the Comprehensive
Plan to include this sort of land use. The petitioner asked for this to be
continued until next month. Mr. Grouch moved to continue PC 96-10 until next
month, r Magnuson Bonded the motion. On a voice vote, all members
present voting aye. Motion carried.

PC 96-1$Edmier Group -Concept Plan RL 71
Dean and Joseph Edmier presented their Concept Plan of Fox Highlands Golf
Club. They are proposing 250 affordable homes built upon an 18 hole public
golf course at Rt. 47 & Rt. 71 (the Douchman's farm). The average size of the
single family lots would be approximately 12,200 sq. ft. 40% of the lots will be
under 12,000 with an 80 ft. width. There would be approximately 5.5 homes per
acre. The golf course would include a restaurant, pro shop. banquet facilities,
indoor golf and villas. They are proposing to build the 1 114 mile sanitary sewer
system with it being a city sponsored project with all rights of approval. They
would be the subcontractor for the city and the recapture fees go to them to pay
down their expense of the sewer construction. The homes would range$170-
200,000/ 1,500-2,200 sq. ft. with 2 1/2 car garages. The Edmier Group would
be the managers of the course and facilities. They are estimating 30-33,000
rounds of golf to be played per year and are offering to create a scholarship fund
using a $1.00 surcharge that would go yearly to the Yorkville senior class into a.
scholarship fund. Another$1.00 surcharge would go to the Hinckley schools.
Those who receive these scholarships would be "adopted"for four years and
would be able to work for the Edmier Group on a part time basis during school
breaks. They are offering to sponsor a high school golf team and plan on
moving their main offices to the site.
Amy Hecker, with Harris Trust& Saving Bank,( the title holders of the property
east of this development), had some questions. She asked if the developers
would be moving the ground, impacting the land shape and drainage. It was
explained that there would be water facilities and release points. She asked if
the course would be irrigated. Mr. Edmier explained they are going to sink their
own wells for irrigation. She inquired about the lighting and club house plan. It
was explained there would be no lights on the course, but there would be
parking lot lights and the club house will be 2-21/2 stories.
Mr. Crouch and Ms. Lucietto stated they are concerned about the high
percentage of town homes and the smaller lot sizes. They think the density is on
the high side. Mr. Magnuson asked to see a rendering of the attached single
family area.

72 unit housing project from that motion. The last time the 96-13 petitioner was
here, he asked for approval of the Preliminary Plan for the town homes, which is
part of the project, but has a different lot and legal description. That Preliminary
Plan was approved, but that change in zoning was not approved. It is currently
zoned M-1 and they would like it rezoned to R-4 PUD. Mr. Magnuson moved to
r,bange the zoning from M-1 to R-4 PUD for Petition - the townhome

PC 96-19 Inland Land App. Fund -Concept Plan
Sunflower Estates RL 47 & RL 71
Greg Gable, representing Inland, presented the Concept Plan to the Committee.
The proposed subdivision is 90+ acres of the northwest comer of Rt. 71 &47.
Scott Road, a designated right-of-way, borders the property. This property is
next to the City of Yorkville and has an annexation agreement. The overlaying
zoning on the property is B-3 Highway Commercial. There was some flexibility
in the annexation agreement stating that 60 acres of the property could be
developed as M-1 or R-2. They are opting for having an R-2 zoning, single
family housing of the 60 acres and the remaining property remain as B-3
Highway Commercial. The commercial lots are 310 ft. in depth and Inland is
suggesting small commercial uses. They are proposing 12,000 sq. ft. minimum
residential lots, with the typical lot size 80' x 150' and the avenge being 14,000
sq. ft. Mr. Gable suggested a small neighborhood park might be added. He
discussed a major swale that goes through the property that needs to be
engineered. He said their proposed road will match up with the Wurley's
subdivision road to the North. If they go to Preliminary Plans, they intend asking
for no variations and will abide by all the requirements of the zoning and
subdivision ordinance. Mr. Crouch moved to approve the Concept Plan of PC
