It is owned by John Lies,Jr.,Kenneth Lies,Linda Lies,Jeffrey Lies,Jared Conover, James Conover, Stephen Fisher,David Fisher and Michael Fisher. No one was present to represent the petitioners. Ms. Lucietto requested that the hearing proceed with various residents from the Cannonball Trail area expressing their concerns and opposition. Verne Henne spoke of his concern of the effect this proposed subdivision may have on the roads and water. He passed out pictures which showed the current deterioration of the roads. He speculated there could be over 1,000 cars on Cannonball Trail daily. Mr Henne discussed the problems he's had with his wells,which turned to sulfur. He also owns a pond that is turning stagnant due to the de-watering that took place in 1994. He passed out a letter he sent in 1994 to the City of Yorkville concerning this. Frank Viteck displayed a map showing the 50 homes currently on Cannonball Trail. He stated this proposed development of 125 homes is too dense for the current infrastructure. He stated the extra students that would be added to the school district would overcrowd the system. "Tax payers should not be forced to subsidize growth for wealthy developers. Growth must pay its own way." He suggested that land cash and land impact fees should also be increased. Bill Nakulski, spoke of his concerns of this area becoming over developed and crowded with smaller,lower priced houses which will lower the value of his house. He is asking that some type of buffer be added to block the noise and maintain the rural atmosphere that is currently there. Judith Koch passed out a letter stating her family's concern about this development being located across the street from their home. Their driveway is directly across from where the opening road is proposed to be. She expressed the headlights at night will be shining into her driveway and will disturb her family's quality of living and the ambience they have at their house. David Kisser passed out a copy of a memo to the Planning Council from Tom Sowinski and Jim Stafford,Aldermen Fourth Ward. The memo addressed the issue of tiering the subdivision from estate sized lots to inner lots of 12,000 sq ft. It also stated the entrance and exit location be reconsidered. Mr Kisser continued with a presentation of the acreage the current residents own. The lots range from over 12 acres to 3/4 acre. The proposed 125 subdivision lots are approximately 12,000 sq. feet. He feels that there should be estate sized lots of 1 1/2 acres along both of the roads with larger lots having deeper setbacks and easements for planting. He added to Mr Henne's map a diagram of the proposed subdivision showing the density. Lawrence Henne addressed the committee stating he is not against development,but is concerned about the density, wishing that it would "melt" with the properties already existing. 2 i Planning Commission Minutes/April 10, 1996 Jim Liggett presented his statements concerning the plats being presented to the Planning Council. He asked if any of the commission members had read their Comprehensive Plan policy manuals or maps lately. Mr. Liggett expressed the need to manage the growth and phase in the properties to make them have "compatibility and harmony"with one another. He suggested large estate sized lots bordering the main road. Chairwoman pro tem Lucietto stated that the drawings of the proposed plan and minutes from the last Planning Council meeting were absent from the committee's packets. The group felt they needed to see the current plan which has gone through revisions. She proposed to continue the Public Hearing until the next meeting on May 8.

PC 93-5 Fox Hill,Unit 5,Pod 11 Improvement Plan Michael Capp from Development Resources, a Planning,Engineering&Construction Company,represented his client,Paul Dresden. For the past three years,they have been working in the community to develop nearly 200 acres at the far northwest comer of the city at the southeast corner of Rt. 34 and Eldamain Rd. This part of the development is multi family. They are looking for approval on an approximate 11 acre unit in the extreme southeast corner of this development. They are proposing 84 attached single family units. At the conclusion of Mr Capps formal presentation,Ms. Lucietto questioned the proposed two car garages. Mr. Capp stated that the 84 units proposed have a one car garage. He stated that the set backs are generous, lying about 39 feet from the right of way line. The greater set backs will provide enough off street parking on the driveways. 3 Planning Commission Minutes/April 10, 1996 The landscaping plan and retention pond was also discussed. There will be a homeowner's association which will maintain the common open areas. The developer has allocated about 30 acres for public open space.
