Continued PC 2015-15 United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, petitioner, is proposing a text amendment to Chapter 7: Dimensional and Bulk Regulations in the Zoning Ordinance to revise Table 10.07.01, Dimensional and Bulk Requirements with regards to an increase of Maximum Lot Coverage and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for all residential, business and manufacturing districts. Page 1 of 3 The Public Hearing was closed at the last meeting and it was the consensus of the Commission to have staff bring back additional information. Those items were: 1) Additional sample set of 100 properties or more 2) How many permits staff were denied due to current regulations 3) Information on drainage in the City to help formulate a recommendation regarding increased impervious surface and FAR for manufacturing districts. (Ms. Noble said the FAR only affects manufacturing districts.) Ms. Noble presented information for the Commission. She said staff did 2 case studies, one of which was a sample of 96 lots in White Oaks Estates. It is currently zoned R2 and was done from aerial images. Of the 96 lots, 30% exceeded the current 20% lot coverage. Under the old ordinance the majority were compliant. She said the ordinance was changed in definition. With the zoning code update, it was decided to add sidewalks, driveways and all other impervious surfaces and the percentage now needs to be increased to reflect current conditions. Properties are now limited to 20% total impervious surfaces including driveways, sidewalks, buildings. Under the old ordinance, if one had met 20% with a building, other hard surface items could be added without penalty. This ordinance is trying to accomplish a maximum cap on all impervious surfaces on a lot and is more restrictive. A large number of citizens and businesses would be penalized if the ordinance is not changed. The variance process has standards and part of those discuss the uniqueness of a property. None of these properties are unique and all have the same problem due to the code. In the White Oaks Estates, there were many properties below the 20%. In case study #2 of smaller lots, the home alone would put the owner at the maximum. Staff looked at the Harker Subdivision in the older part of the City and zoned R2. Of the 20 parcels sampled, 12 (or 60%), exceeded the current ordinance. If any of those owners would request a patio, etc., they would be denied. Staff is proposing an increase in the area of the impervious surface. Ms. Noble gave the proposed percentages which are about 25% greater than the previous numbers. The manufacturing district is the only one where vertical floor area is calculated and that percentage was also increased. Ms. Horaz asked if the ratios could be lowered a bit on the maximum lot coverages. Ms. Noble said a small buffer was built in, so she was OK with adjusting the numbers. Mr. Heinen presented examples of drainage percentages. He compared the present percentages with new percentages under the proposed amendment. Ms. Noble said the property would become legally non-conforming and the owners might not be able to refinance if so desired. If more than 50% of the home would burn and the owners wish to rebuild, the owners would have to rebuild a smaller home. He calculated another example from Cardinal Circle and also an example with an existing pool. Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Horaz said she had done some calculations on the FAR and commented that if the amendment is approved, and since it's so broad, some adjusting might still need to be done. Swimming pools were discussed in regards to drainage and it was decided to include pools in the calculations. Mr. Crouch said the larger the lot, the easier it is to comply and he questioned why the percentage would increase to 55% on estate lots. He said the smaller the lot, the more likely not to be compliant and not easily correctable. Ms. Noble said estate lots were increased because the houses are set towards the back of the lot leaving more impervious surface for the driveway. Estate lots generally do not have sidewalks, added Mr. Galmarini. Mr. Crouch commented that he would be OK with smaller percentages (45%) for estate lots and R1 lots. Ms. Horaz asked how the amendment would affect the older part of town. Mr. Sanderson said the older parts of town don't have the level of stormwater management that the newer parts have and it should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Action Item Text Amendment It was clarified that the FAR will only refer to the Manufacturing District. Mr. Galmarini made the following motion: In consideration of testimony presented during the Public Hearing on September 9, 2015, the Plan Commission recommends approval to the City Council of a request for a text amendment to Chapter 7, Dimensional Bulk Regulations in the Zoning Ordinance to revise Table 10.07.01 with regards to an increase of Maximum Lot Coverage and Floor Area Ratio to all residential, business and manufacturing districts as presented by staff in a memorandum dated October 7, 2015 and further subject to all the provisions discussed by the Plan Commission during the October 14, 2015 meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Vinyard. Roll call: Vinyard-yes, Crouch-yes, Goins-yes Galmarini-yes, Horaz-yes. Motion passed 5-0. Additional Business Mr. Heinen said the Comprehensive Plan update is progressing and an open house will be held for the public on October 22 from 6-8pm. The information is on the website and on Facebook. Adjournment There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 7:44pm on a motion by Mr. Vinyard and a second by Ms. Goins.

Roll Call Roll call was taken and a quorum was established. Plan Commission members present: Deborah Horaz, Michael Crouch Absent: Galmarini, Goins, Kraupner, Vinyard, Weaver, Harker Zoning Board of Appeals members present: Corey Johnson, Don Hirsch, Alex Hernandez Absent: Olson, Markham, Woods, Goins Park Board members present: Deborah Horaz, Sash Dumanovic Absent: Cesich, Dilday, Lane, Konecki, Wilberg Commissioner Crouch asked each person to introduce themselves. City Staff Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Jim Binninger, Attorney Shay Remus, Park Board Tim Evans, Park Board Scott Sleezer, Park Board Other Guests Previous Meeting Minutes None Citizen’s Comments None Public Hearings None New Business Mr. Binninger briefly explained what topics would be covered in this meeting, including ethics and how to handle meetings. Page 2 of 3 Roles and Responsibilities Mr. Binninger and Ms. Noble both explained their roles pertaining to the three governing bodies present. He stated the obligations of the members of these Boards, the Boards' functions and stressed the importance of reading the agenda packet materials prior to the meetings. Ms. Noble also said it was very important to listen to the testimony given and that questions could be directed to her prior to the meetings. The roles of the Chairmen were also explained and speakers should be recognized by the Chair before speaking. The importance of an up-to-date Comprehensive Plan was also stressed. Applicant and Petitioner Their role is to present their requests to the Boards and they are responsible for demonstrating that their request meets the requirements. Making Land Use Decisions The petitioner has to make their case. Mr. Binninger said it is very important for the municipality to have a current Comp Plan and Zoning code. Ms. Noble said, that as Zoning Administrator, she can make some decisions on minor changes, but if there are major changes, the case must be brought back to the Boards. Elements of Good Decision Making Notice must be given, opposition must be allowed to be heard and conclusions must be based on findings. Complete and accurate records are essential. Notice Proper meeting notice must be given. For Plan Commission, a minimum of 15 days notice and no more than 30 days is required. Clear Rules to Control Meeting The meeting procedure must be announced by the Chairman, sign-in sheets are required and time limits should be noted. Speakers must be recognized by the Chair, duplicate or irrelevant testimony should be prohibited, written statements can be accepted and exhibits should be identified. Mr. Binninger gave a handout of the Rules and Procedures. For phone attendance, there must be a quorum of actual people present and then the phone attendance can be utilized if arranged prior to the meeting. Mr. Hirsch commented that being on vacation is not always a valid excuse for utilizing phone attendance. Open Meetings Act State law requires all Board members to take the on-line Open Meetings Act review and pass a test within 90 days of appointment. If a FOIA request is made and someone has not had this training, it could become an issue. A 'majority' is a majority of a quorum. It was noted that 2 members can discuss business, however, 3 people constitute a 'meeting'. Mr. Crouch commented that if 3 members discuss business or use texts or emails, that is a violation. All public members have the right to speak, however, the time can be limited and should be at the end of the agenda. If a meeting has to be rolled over, you must have a notice of the date and time or you must start over. A vote cannot be taken on any item not on the agenda. Meeting cancellations must be posted on an outer door. Page 3 of 3 Conducting Meetings Mr. Binninger discussed “Roberts Rules of Order”. Motions must be made in order to take action. He provided an explanation of “call the question” and discussed amended motions. Mr. Evans asked if all motions need roll call votes. Village Boards and Councils need roll calls on certain items and voice votes are OK on some items. Mr. Dumanovic asked if the Chair routinely votes on Boards and Commissions. They do vote, however, Village Presidents usually only vote in the case of a tie. Full Disclosure All concerned parties must have full access to the pertinent information. Mr. Crouch asked about photos presented by individuals. These can be entered into the official record so that anyone can have access. Other topics briefly discussed were: Unbiased Decisions Timely Decisions Complete Records Finding of Fact Ethical Principles for Planning Ethical Principles Overview-gave examples of conflicts & possible answers Techniques for No-Conflict Meeting Encourage Public Involvement Also mentioned...... City staff is considering placing meeting notices on Facebook. It was also noted that motions need to be made in the positive. Staff includes proposed motion language in the agenda packet. Ms. Noble gave a handout regarding 6 hours of additional training available pertaining to zoning. Illinois APA is pushing to require this training for Boards dealing with zoning. Old Business None Additional Business A memo from Mr. Heinen was included in the packet and detailed the voting record of the Council regarding the recent Hari Development/Dunkin Donuts special use permit and text amendment. The Council approved both items. Adjournment There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 8:40pm. The motion for adjournment was made by the ZBA Board who had a quorum.

The real property is located near the northeast corner of Walnut Street and Freemont Street in Yorkville, Illinois. Memorandum To: Plan Commission From: Chris Heinen, Planner CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: January 6, 2016 Subject: PC 2015-16 – Senior Independent Living Facility (Rezoning) – NEC of Walnut and Freeman The petitioner is looking to construct a four-story building with an enclosed parking garage which will contain 75 apartment units. The unit breakdown for the development will be 57 one-bedroom units and 18 two-bedroom units. The proposed development will be eligible for occupancy by residents in the 30%-60% of Yorkville’s adjusted income levels. Ten percent (10%) of the units, or 8 one-bedroom units, will have rents starting at $450 - $500. The remaining one-bedroom rents will be $925 - $1,000 and the two-bedroom units will be $1,050 - $1,200. The building will be in an “L” shaped configuration and will be constructed along the eastern and northern property lines. A common area will be part of the building which will house a fitness room, community room, craft room and several other amenities for the residences of the building. The parking lot will be constructed along the southern and western property lines. All setbacks will be met for the project. One access point will be constructed to the west of the property and an emergency access route will be located around the perimeter of the building with an access onto Walnut Street. There will be a 30 foot landscape buffer along the eastern property line to help screen the existing residential property to the east and will entail a 2 to 4 foot high berm with plantings that will aide in the screening of the property. One (1) monument sign is being proposed on the property. The sign will be located at the entrance of the property. Details of the sign will be reviewed at time of permit and will need to adhere to the current sign ordinance. SURROUNDING DENSITIES: The subject development (indicated in blue) has an overall density of approximately 23.62 dwelling units per acre. The current regulations for R-4 zoning allow for a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre. The petitioner has filed an application for a variance from this regulation to increase the overall density to 24 dwelling units per acre. This petition had a public hearing at the regularly scheduled Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on January 6, 2016. 1. 15.62 DU’s/Acre 2. 5.48 DU’s/Acre 23.62 DU’s/Acre 1 2 The following chart shows how this property compares to similar developments.

(Ord. 2004-65) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE: The City’s Comprehensive Plan Update 2008 had designated this parcel as “Traditional Neighborhood” which is intended primarily for single-family detached residences, “preserving the existing unique residential neighborhoods in the developed core of the City.” Future development was envisioned to be in the form of redevelopment of existing sites. It should be noted that a majority of these land uses are located in or around the downtown area. The City is currently updating the Comprehensive Plan and this area may be reconsidered for a different land use. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The existing zoning and land use for properties surrounding the subject property are as indicated below: Zoning Land Use North R-3, Multi-Family Attached Residence District Townhomes/Detention Facility East R-1, Single-Family Suburban Residence District Single Family Dwelling South R-1, Single-Family Suburban Residence District Church West R-3, Multi-Family Attached Residence District Townhomes/Vacant Land AMENDMENT CRITERIA: Section 10-4-10B of the City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for proposed amendment requests. Where the purpose and effect of the proposed amendment are to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the plan commission shall make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case with respect to the following matters: 1. The existing uses and zoning of nearby property. 2. The extent to which the property values are diminished by the particular zoning restrictions. 3. The extent to which the destruction of property values of plaintiff promotes the health, safety, morals or general welfare of the public. 4. The relative gain to the public as compared to the hardship imposed upon the individual property owner. 5. The suitability of the subject property for the zoned purposes. 6. The length of time the property has been vacant as zoned considered in the context of land development in the area in the vicinity of the subject property. 7. The community need for the purposed use. 8. The care to which the community has undertaken to plan its land use development. The applicant has provided written responses to these amendment standards as part of their application and requests inclusion of those responses into the public record at the January 13, 2016 Plan Commission meeting. CONDITIONS: Staff will seek the following recommended conditions as part of the final approval for the petitions: • All conditions outlined in a staff memo from Plan Council dated November 23, 2015. • That the development be used for senior housing (55 years of age or older) and is enforced through a covenant until such time the entire structure is demolished. • If the petitioner does not obtain the federal funding needed for development or close on the property, the rezoning and variance petitions will become null and void. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff has requested that the building be rotated 180 degrees so that the rear of the building would face Freemont Street. This would create a larger buffer to the residences to the east of the property. The City Administrator will be providing additional information regarding the non- planning issues that will need to be addressed as part of this development and will be heard at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting. This proposed rezoning and variance was discussed at Plan Council on November 19, 2015 and the comments listed at that meeting are attached. Additionally, a public hearing was scheduled on January 6, 2016 before the Zoning Board of Appeals for the maximum density variance. A recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration at the January 26, 2016 regularly scheduled meeting. A recommendation from the Plan Commission will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration at the January 26, 2016 regularly scheduled meeting. Staff will be available to answer any question the Plan Commission may have at Wednesday night’s meeting. PROPOSED MOTION FOR VARIANCE: In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on January 13, 2016 and approval of the findings of fact, the Plan Commission recommends approval to the City Council for a request to rezone property from R-1, Single-Family Suburban Residence District to R-4, General Multi-Family Residence District.

(Bristol Township) of the 3rd Principal Meridian in Kendall County, IL Project or Subdivision Name: Yorkville Housing Development Existing Zoning & Land Use: R-1, Vacant Proposed Zoning & Land Use: R-4, Multi-Tenant Residential Proposed Water Source: United City of Yorkville Proposed Type of Sewage Disposal System: Yorkville-Bristol Sanitary District Proposed Type of Storm Water Management: Existing Detention Basin/Underground Detention Basin Size of Site: 3.4 (3.2 excluding the road) Land Evaluation Score: 81 Natural Resource Concerns Soil Map: SOIL INFORMATION: Based on information from the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) 2007 Kendall County Soil Survey, this parcel contains the following soil types: Table 1: Map Unit Soil Name Hydrologic Group Hydric Designation Farmland Designation 325A Dresden silt loam, 0-2% slopes B Non-hydric Prime Farmland 369A Waupecan silt loam, 0-2% slopes B Non-hydric Prime Farmland Hydrologic Soil Groups: Soils have been classified into four (A, B, C, D) hydrologic groups based on runoff characteristics due to rainfall. If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the second letter is for undrained areas.  Hydrologic group A: Soils have a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission.  Hydrologic group B: Soils have a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet, consist chiefly of moderately deep to deep, moderately well drained to well drained soils that have a moderately fine to moderately coarse texture. These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.  Hydrologic group C: Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water transmission.  Hydrologic group D: Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils that have a high water table, have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. Hydric Soils: A soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part of the soil profile. Of the soils found onsite, none are classified as a hydric soil. Additionally, none of the soils onsite are likely to have hydric inclusions. Prime Farmland: Prime farmland is land that has the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for agricultural production. Prime farmland soils are an important resource to Kendall County and some of the most productive soils in the United States occur locally. Of the two soils found onsite, both are designated as prime farmland. Table 2: Map Unit Surface Runoff Water Table Ponding Flooding 325A Low January - December January - December None January - December None 369A Low January - December January - December None January - December None Surface Runoff: Refers to the loss of water from an area by flow over the land surface. Surface runoff classes are based upon slope, climate and vegetative cover. Indicates relative runoff for very specific conditions (it is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the retention of surface water resulting from irregularities in the ground surface is minimal). Ponding: Ponding is standing water in a closed depression. Unless a drainage system is installed, the water is removed only by percolation, transpiration or evaporation. Duration is expressed as very brief (less than 2 days), brief (2 to 7 days), long (7 to 30 days), very long (more than 30 days). Frequency is expressed as none (ponding is not probable), rare (unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions), occasional (occurs, on average, once or less in 2 years) and frequent (occurs, on average, more than once in 2 years). Flooding: Temporary inundation of an area caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from adjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for short periods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered flooding, and water standing in swamps and marshes is considered ponding rather than flooding. Duration expressed as brief is 2 to 7 days and a frequent frequency means that it is likely to occur often under normal weather conditions. SOIL LIMITATIONS: Limitations for small commercial building, dwellings with basements, dwellings without basements and conventional sewage disposal systems. Please note this information is based on information compiled as part of the USDA-NRCS 2007 Soil Survey of Kendall County, IL and does not replace site specific soil testing. 4 Table 2a: Soil Type Small Commercial Building Shallow Excavations Lawns/Landscaping Local Roads/Streets 325A Somewhat Limited: Shrink-swell Very Limited: Unstable excavation walls Not Limited Very Limited: Low strength Shrink-swell Frost action 369A Somewhat Limited: Shrink-swell Very Limited: Unstable excavation walls Not Limited Very Limited: Frost action Low strength Shrink-swell Kendall County Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA): Decision-makers in Kendall County use the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) system to determine the suitability of a land use change and/or a zoning request as it relates to agricultural land. The LESA system was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) and takes into consideration local conditions such as physical characteristics of the land, compatibility of surrounding land-uses, and urban growth factors. The LESA system is a two-step procedure that includes:  LAND EVALUATION (LE) – The soils of a given area are rated and placed in groups ranging from the best to worst suited for a stated agriculture use, cropland or forestland. The best group is assigned a value of 100 and all other groups are assigned lower values. The Land Evaluation is based on data from the Kendall County Soil Survey. The Kendall County Soil and Water Conservation District is responsible for this portion of the LESA system.  SITE ASSESSMENT (SA) – The site is numerically evaluated according to important factors that contribute to the quality of the site. Each factor selected is assigned values in accordance with the local needs and objectives. The Kendall County LESA Committee is responsible for this portion of the LESA system. Table 4a: Land Evaluation Computation The Land Evaluation score for this site is 81, indicating that this site is well suited for agricultural uses. 0 20 40 60 80 100 Small Commercial Building Shallow Excavation Lawns/Landscaping Local Roads/Streets % of Soil Type of Improvement SOIL LIMITATIONS Not Limited Somewhat Limited Very Limited Soil Type Value Group Relative Value Acres Product (Relative Value x Acres) 325A 4 79 2.7 213.3 369A 2 94 0.5 47.0 Totals 3.2 260.3 LE Score LE= 260.3/3.2 LE=81 5 Please Note: A land evaluation (LE) score will be compiled for every project parcel. However, when a parcel is located within municipal planning boundaries, a site assessment score is not compiled as the scoring factors are not applicable. As a result, only the LE score is available and a full LESA score is unavailable for the parcel. Wetlands: The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s National Wetland Inventory map does not indicate the presence of a wetland. Additionally, the USDA-NRCS 1984 Aerial Wetland Map does not indicate the presence of a wetland. If a wetland is present, a wetland delineation specialist, who is recognized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, should determine the exact boundaries and value of the wetlands. Floodplain: The parcel is not located within the floodplain. Sediment and Erosion Control: Development on this site should include an erosion and sediment control plan in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Soil erosion on construction sites is a resource concern because suspended sediment from areas undergoing development is a primary nonpoint source of water pollution. Please consult the Illinois Urban Manual (http://aiswcd.org/IUM/) for appropriate best management practices. 6 LAND USE OPINION: The Kendall County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Board has reviewed the proposed development plans for Petitioner GC Housing Development LLC for the proposed R-4 Yorkville Housing Development. This parcel is located in the SW¼ of Section 28 in Bristol Township (T.37N.-R.7E. of the 3rd Principal Meridian) in Kendall County. Based on the information provided by the petitioner and a review of natural resource related data available to the Kendall County SWCD, the SWCD Board has the following opinions and recommendations. The Kendall County SWCD has always had the opinion that Prime Farmland should be preserved whenever feasible. A land evaluation, which is a part of the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) was conducted on this parcel. The soils on this parcel scored an 81 out of a possible 100 points indicating the soils are well suited for agricultural uses. Additionally, the soils found onsite are classified as prime farmland. In addition, soils can have potential limitations for development. This report indicates that for soils located on the parcel, 100% are somewhat limited for small commercial building; 100% are very limited for local roads/streets and shallow excavations. This information is based on the soil in an undisturbed state. Some soil reclamation, special design, or maintenance may be required to obtain suitable soil conditions to support these types of development with significant limitations. This site is located within the Fox River Watershed. This development should include a soil erosion sediment control plan to be implemented during construction. Sediment may become a primary non-point source of pollution. Eroded soils during the construction phase can create unsafe conditions on roadways, degrade water quality and destroy aquatic ecosystems lower in the watershed. For intense use it is recommended that the drainage tile survey completed on the parcel to locate the subsurface drainage tile be taken into consideration during the land use planning process. Drainage tile expedites drainage and facilitates farming. It is imperative that these drainage tiles remain undisturbed. Impaired tile may affect a few acres or hundreds of acres of drainage. The information that is included in this Natural Resources Information Report is to assure the Land Developers take into full consideration the limitations of that land that they wish to develop. Guidelines and recommendations are also a part of this report and should be considered in the planning process. The Natural Resource Information Report is required by the Illinois Soil and Water Conservation District Act (Ill. Complied Statues, Ch. 70, Par 405/22.02a). The memo serves as follow-up to Chris Heinen from the United City of Yorkville in response to Mr. Heinen’s Plan Council memo to Andrew Block of GC Housing Development LLC dated November 23, 2015. Responses mirror the order in which comments were made. Engineering Comments: The comments below are offered in response to the Engineering Enterprises, Inc. review letter dated November 11, 2015 addressed to Krysti Barksdale-Noble. 1. The items listed will be included with the final engineering plans. 2. A basic concept for expanding the existing detention basin is shown on the Site Plan. Detailed analysis will occur during final engineering 3. The Public Works Department will verify the capacity of existing infrastructure. The estimated Population Equivalent for this development is 140 PE. 4. Pedestrian access from Freemont Street is shown on the Site Plan. We anticipate access from Walnut is no longer required since the driveway has shifted to Freemont St. 5. A parking summary is shown in the Site Data Table on the Site Plan. Provided parking exceeds the requirement of 0.5 stalls per residential unit (senior housing). Fire District (BKFD) Comments: • The proposed building to be equipped (2) two elevators with 3,500# load capacity each. • Each elevator to have interior cab dimension of 6’-8” x 4’-3”. • The mechanical design of the garage will incorporate an NOX/CO combined sensor that will comply with code requirements. • The mechanical design of the garage area will incorporate a detection, alarm, and activation system as required per the code requirements. • There will be a two (2) hour horizontal fire separation between the first (1st) floor interior garage, and the above dwelling units. (The proposed second (2nd) floor to be Pre-cast concrete plank, with concrete topping.) • Fully sprinkled (including attic)? Yes. • Standpipes in stair wells, and hose connection in garage as required by code. • Firewalls as required per code. • Duct/smoke detection provided per code. • Fire protection of the waste chutes provided per code. • CO detection in individual units provided per code. • An Emergency Ring Road has been provided that follows the guidelines of the 2009 International Fire Code.

Master 12 18 15 submission - Yorkville Community Development Comments: • A Data Table has been provided on the Site Plan drawing which addresses all items requested. • A 9’x13’ trash enclosure is shown on the Site Plan. Detailed design (appearance, materials, etc.) will be a part of design documents. • See attached documentation showing Photometric Lighting Plan. • The building has been rotated 15 degrees counter-clockwise and has been positioned further away from the eastern property line. Currently, the building is set 48.42’ from the eastern property line. A 30’ building setback was maintained along the western property line for constructability and to allow for Emergency Ring Road. Landscaping and berming along the eastern property line will be increased to a maximum of 8’ during final design. • A detailed tree survey has not been prepared at this time. Tree preservation and relocation plans will be provided as part of final landscape design. • Exterior material sample has been provided to city staff. • Monument design and size to comply with local code requirements. A placeholder monument sign has been shown on the south side of the main entry drive. • The available Emergency Ring Road details are shown on the plan (width, layout, etc.). The materials used to construct the road are subject to final engineering and input from the Bristol Kendall Fire Department. • Comment noted. • We believe all setback requirements are met. The building’s height is 61’8”. Building Height is measured to the middle height of the angled roof and not to its peak. The impervious area on site account for 58.3% of the total area, which is below the permitted 70%. This figure can also be found in the Site Data table per the attached Civil Site Plan. • See comment directly above. • The impervious area on site accounts for 58.3% of the total area, which is below the permitted 70%. A breakdown of the impervious area onsite can also be found in the Site Data Table on the Site Plan. • See Exhibit 1 below • Petitioner has agreed to include an age-restriction as part of the deed.

Woodward Senior Consultant Luay R. Aboona, PE Principal DATE: January 5, 2016 SUBJECT: Site Access and Parking Summary Evaluation Anthony Place Apartment Development Yorkville, Illinois Introduction This memorandum summarizes the results of a summary site access and parking evaluation conducted by Kenig, Lindgren, O’Hara, Aboona, Inc. (KLOA, Inc.) for the proposed Anthony Place senior living apartment development to be located in the northeast quadrant of Freemont Street and Walnut Street in Yorkville, Illinois. The site is bounded by multi-family residential/Landmark Drive to the north, Walnut Street to the south, multi-family residential/Freemont Street to the west, and residential to the east. The site is currently undeveloped. Development Plan The plans call to develop the site to include a 75-unit, age-restricted senior living apartment development with 115 off-street parking spaces. The parking garage on the first level will provide 75 parking spaces (one parking space per unit), and the remaining 40 parking spaces will be on a surface parking lot on the west side of the development. Development Access Two access driveways are proposed for this development and are described as follows. Full Access and Freemont Street. This full access will intersect Freemont Street in alignment with Dalton Avenue becoming the fourth/east leg to this existing T-intersection. The access driveway will be the main access serving the development and will provide one lane inbound and one lane outbound. The outbound lane will be under stop sign control. Freemont Street will remain under freeflow traffic conditions. High-visibility crosswalks are recommended across Dalton Avenue and across the access driveway to connect the existing sidewalks in the area and enhance pedestrian mobility within the neighborhood. No roadway improvements are proposed or needed on Freemont Street or Dalton Avenue to accommodate the proposed access driveway. 2 Emergency Access and Walnut Street. This access driveway will intersect Walnut Street from the north, at the east end of the site. The access will be gated and will be for emergency access only. Estimated Development Traffic Generation The estimates of traffic to be generated by the development are based upon the proposed land use type and size. The volume of traffic generated was estimated using data published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition. Table 1 tabulates the total trips anticipated from this proposed development for the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours, in addition to the weekday daily traffic. Table 1 ESTIMATED PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUMES Weekday A.M. Peak Hour Weekday P.M. Peak Hour Weekday Daily (24-Hour) Land-Use In Out In Out In Out Age-Restricted Senior Attached Housing – 75 Units (LUC 252) 5 10 11 9 123 123 Site Access Evaluation The proposed access driveway allowing full movements on Freemont Street will ensure that adequate access is provided to serve the proposed development. As shown in Table 1, this development will generate a low volume of traffic during the weekday peak hours and will have a low impact on the surrounding roadway network. Given the low volumes of traffic to be generated by the development, the existing two-lane residential roadways along Freemont Street and Dalton Avenue will be sufficient to accommodate the proposed access driveway and the projected traffic volumes. No roadway improvements on Freemont Street or Dalton Avenue are proposed or recommended in conjunction with the proposed development. Parking The development proposes a total of 115 off-street parking spaces. These proposed 115 parking spaces are more than adequate to accommodate peak parking demand based on the following.  According to Section 10-16-3 of the Yorkville Zoning Code, 0.5 spaces per dwelling unit are needed for an age-restricted residential development such as the proposed development, thereby requiring a total of 38 parking spaces. 3  Based on published data by ITE (“Parking Generation”, 4th Edition), the average parking demand for age-restricted developments is 0.59 spaces per dwelling unit, or 43 parking spaces. Given these two parking sources, the proposed 115 off-street parking spaces are more than adequate to accommodate the peak parking demand. Conclusion Based on the proposed development plan and the preceding evaluation, the following preliminary conclusions and recommendations are made.  The proposed age-restricted apartment development will have a low traffic impact on the surrounding roadway network given the low volume of traffic it is projected to generate.  No roadway improvements are recommended or needed on Freemont Street or Walnut Street in conjunction with the proposed development.  The main access driveway on Freemont Street in alignment with Dalton Avenue will provide one lane inbound and one lane outbound under stop sign control. This access will be adequate to accommodate the proposed low volume of turning movement traffic during peak hours.  The proposed access driveway on Walnut Street will be gated and restricted to emergency access only.  High-visibility crosswalks are recommended across Dalton Avenue and across the proposed access driveway to connect the existing sidewalk system and further enhance pedestrian mobility within the residential neighborhood.  The proposed 115 off-street parking spaces are more than adequate to satisfy the Yorkville Zoning Code. Further, ITE parking information also shows that the 115 parking spaces are adequate to satisfy peak parking demands. 1 Chris Heinen From:Brad Sanderson [bsanderson@eeiweb.com] Sent:Wednesday, January 06, 2016 7:33 AM To:Chris Heinen Subject:RE: Site Access and Parking Memo - Yorkville Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Flagged Chris,    We have reviewed.  The analysis seems reasonable.    No additional comments from us.    Brad   From: Chris Heinen [mailto:cheinen@yorkville.il.us] Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2016 12:59 PM To: Brad Sanderson Subject: FW: Site Access and Parking Memo - Yorkville   Please review the attached Parking Study.

December 16, 2015 Mr. Jeff Crane GC Housing Development LLC 343 Wainwright Drive Northbrook, Illinois 60062 RE: Yorkville Consulting Services Dear Mr. Crane: Development Strategies is pleased to present the following report to provide your development team with consulting services relating to the rezoning of the proposed site of a senior housing facility at Freemont and Walnut streets in Yorkville, Illinois. These services have been requested to address the concern of immediate neighbors that the proposed use may have a negative impact on their home values. We have compiled assessment data from single-family homes adjacent three similar senior living facilities in to provide insight into their impact on nearby property values. In each instance, there was no significant difference in the assessed values of homes bordering a senior facility and those of similar size, age, and construction that are not adjacent the facility. We have also compared the sales of a limited number of homes that are adjacent senior housing to those that are not adjacent. While an insufficient number of recent sales were available to draw a significant conclusion, the small number of cases available show no measurable difference based on proximity to senior housing. The proposed development will be of high quality and, similar to other properties completed by the development team, incorporate exterior materials and features that maintain the residential feel of the neighborhood. Following our analysis, we have concluded that the development will have no negative impact on the assessed values of adjacent properties. The attached report explores our methodology at greater length and includes relevant parcel data provided by the Kendall County Assessment Office. Development Strategies appreciates the opportunity to assist you with this report. Should you or your associates have any questions, please call. We will be glad to hear from you. Yours very truly, Brad Beggs, MA Yorkville Senior Housing Research DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to provide consulting services related to the rezoning of the 3.2-acre site at the northeast corner of Freemont and Walnut streets in Yorkville from single-family to multi-family use to permit the development of a new senior housing facility. These services have been requested to address the concerns of immediate neighbors that the proposed use may have a negative impact on their home values. As part of this report, we have assessed the residential qualities of the proposed development and investigated the sales prices and assessed values of properties adjacent to similar senior housing properties in Kendall County. APPROPRIATENESS OF PROPOSED USE The subject site is located in a largely residential area of north Yorkville and is bordered by single-family homes to the east and attached townhomes to the west and northeast. Walnut Street borders the site to the south followed by a large church, and a retention pond north of the site separates it from Landmark Avenue and a grocery store. The site lacks visibility from nearby thoroughfares, but maintains very good access to Bridge Street (0.2 mile west) and Landmark Avenue (0.1 mile north). Walnut and Fremont streets are unmarked residential drives and uses adjacent the site are not compatible with commercial or retail development. However, single- or multiple-family housing are appropriate given the site’s location and size. The site is currently zoned for single-family use. Homes to the immediate east were built between the late 1980s and early 1990s, while a newer single-family homes are concentrated east of McHugh Road (0.2 mile). There has been little to no residential construction over the past decade, and home values in the area fell considerably during the recession. Data from the Kendall County assessor highlights a decrease of 20 to 25 percent in the sales prices of homes located within two blocks of the subject between 2004 and 2014, and a number have gone into foreclosure. Taking this into consideration, demand is currently diminished for new single-family construction. The developer has proposed the construction of a four-story affordable senior apartment property that would require a change of the site’s single-family zoning to permit multi-family use. While the project would be considerably denser than existing residential development in the area, its scale and setback would remain consistent with surrounding uses. Other senior properties completed by the development team have incorporated exterior materials that are similar to surrounding homes, as well as additional architectural features such as brick veneer and Juliet balconies on some units. Incorporating a number of interior parking spaces minimizes the visual impact of a Yorkville Senior Housing Research DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES 2 surface parking lot and maintains the residential feel of the neighborhood, while a landscape berm along the eastern edge of the site will provide a barrier between the development and nearby homes. Diversifying the local housing stock can have significant community benefits as well. As seniors age and maintenance of the larger single-family homes common to the area becomes increasingly burdensome, demand will continue to increase for a more manageable housing option. Senior apartments provide a transitional step between single-family homes and supportive residential communities such as assisted living or memory care. Further, senior housing can be a key component of a larger strategy to incorporate a greater number of multi-family units into the local housing stock to help smooth the effects of significant shifts in the single-family market. IMPACT ON NEIGHBORING PROPERTY VALUES Affordable housing communities can be divisive at the neighborhood level and raise concerns regarding the potential for decreased property values for nearby parcels in largely single-family areas. However, research can provide some quantitative insight into the value impact, or lack thereof, of similar projects throughout Kendall County. While no senior apartment properties identical to the subject proposal exist, we have selected three high- quality senior living options that are most similar to the subject in terms of construction and size. Heritage Woods of Yorkville is an assisted living facility located approximately two miles south of the subject site along Greenbriar Road. The facility is located on an approximately 3.8-acre parcel that includes a large surface parking lot along its northeast edge. The building contains two to three stories and is bordered to the west and south by a large residential subdivision that contains three-bedroom and four-bedroom single-family homes ranging in size from about 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. Homes in the neighborhood were generally developed between 2000 and 2006 and are similar in design and construction, with a combination of vinyl siding and brick veneer exteriors and attached two-car garages. We have first compared the 2015 assessments of eight properties in the neighborhood. Four properties are located along the northern edge of the subdivision and include backyards facing the fire lane that surrounds Heritage Woods, while the four remaining properties are also located within the northern portion of the subdivision, but do not border the assisted living facility. In order to isolate any location factor present within the assessment, we have selected properties that are as similar as possible with regard to size, age, and number of bedrooms. These assessments are summarized in the map and table below. Yorkville Senior Housing Research DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES 3 Data from the office of the Kendall County Assessor indicates no significant difference between the assessments of properties located adjacent Heritage Woods and others within the same neighborhood, although the assessments vary based on lot and building size. Smaller lots along Walsh Circle are assessed at approximately $1.00 per square foot, while larger, irregular-shaped lots along cul-de-sacs were assessed lower per square foot. Homes were generally assessed between $20 and $25 per square foot, although the smallest property selected— which also borders Heritage Woods—was assessed at $35 per square foot. In order to provide a second measure of the market’s sensitivity to nearby senior housing, we have investigated the sales prices of properties within the neighborhood over the past several years. However, only one home bordering Heritage Woods has sold in that time.

All of the properties were built between 2003 and 2005 and contained four or five bedrooms, although one property was about 400 feet smaller than the subject. While an insufficient number of transactions occurred to completely discount a location factor, the limited amount of available sales data does not suggest a strong negative trend.

Autumn Leaves of Oswego is located just east of Douglas Road near Route 34. The facility is bordered to the east by single-family homes, with some attached townhome units located to the south.

Her and her husband Ben have visited this petitioner's other location in Glendale Heights and while they consider them to be very nice buildings, the location they have chosen to pursue would greatly impact their quality of life. She mentioned that this facility would be less than 30 feet from her home, impacting her access to sunlight, and I think we can all agree living in the shadows is not preferable. She likened this project to erecting a Hampton Inn 30 feet from her house. I am passing on this information for all elected officials who might not have received any non-supporting opinions from residents. Also, this was the nicest resident of 2016. I wish you all amazing hair.

Sterrett, Senior Planner Page 3 of 3 EMPLOYEES HGL has six employees, including the business owner, Clemente Garcia. HOURS OF OPERATION The hours of operation are from 7:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. PARKING The petitioners comply with the required parking ratio of one (1) parking space per employee in addition to one (1) parking space per vehicle used in the conduct of the business by providing a total of six (6) parking stalls for employees, including one (1) ADA accessible stall, and seven (7) parking stalls for vehicles and equipment. The parking area meets the required front, side, and rear yard setbacks. No retail is offered at the site and no public will be accessing the site. Employee owned vehicles and vehicles associated with the landscap e operation will be parked on an existing CA6 gravel surface recently added by the petitioners.

HGL intends to store the vehicles and equipment associated with the business outdoors approximately 200’+ from the centerline of Walker Road. Existing trees toward the front of the property and around the perimeter of the parking area screen portions of the storage and parking area.

Staff further recommends the following conditions be placed on the special use, if approved: 1. No landscape waste generated off site may be burned at the subject property 2.

PETITIONS #15-17 – Kevin Calder John Sterrett summarized the zoning request, which is a request for an A-1 Special Use to operate a landscaping business at 9923 Walker Road in Kendall Township. The business, Hardscape Group Landscaping, Inc., will have six employees with one of the employees living in the house on site. The property has access to a county highway as identified on the County’s LRMP, having an all-weather surface, designed to accommodate loads of at least 73,280lbs. The applicant has indicated that most of the trucks and equipment associated with the landscape operation will be kept outdoors. There is, however, some existing landscaping along the perimeter of the property that provides some screening from the roadway and adjacent properties. Clemente Garcia, owner of Hardscape Group Landscaping, Inc., has indicated that they are going to be adding additional evergreen species to the front of the property to provide further screening. The petitioner has submitted a waste disposal plan to address landscape waste. The waste will be delivered directly to Fox Stone Company. Staff recommends that this waste disposal plan be incorporated into the controlling special use as a condition. Staff recommends that additional conditions be placed on the controlling special use including no landscape waste generated from off-site be permitted to be burned at the subject property and no retail sales shall take place on the property. Fran Klaas recommended that the County’s zoning ordinance, with respect to landscape operations, be modified to require landscape businesses to be located on county highways able to accommodate loads of at least 80,000lbs. Mr. Klaas explained that in 2010 as part of the Illinois Highway Capital Bill all state and local roadways are now 80,000lbs roadways, unless otherwise posted. The text should be updated for consist ency. Mr. Klaas noted that no additional right-of-way for Walker Road will be sought from the subject property. Mr. Klaas also stated that the two existing access points on to Walker Road are grandfathered in and that no new ZPAC Meeting Minutes 12.1.15 Page 2 of 2 access points are proposed for the property. Aaron Rybski commented that a septic evaluation to the existing septic system should be conducted to ensure that the addition of six employees will not have an impact on the existing system. Gravel had previously been added to the site and a septic evaluation will assist in determining if the new gravel is impacting the system. An assessment of the septic system and a soil analysis is needed to verify the system will not be impacted negatively. Mr. Garcia stated that while an existing employee lives in the house, the intention is to convert the structure to an office space with the resident moving out in the next year. Brian Holdiman recommended that a condition be placed on the ordinance that a change of occupancy permit be secured when the conversion from a single family dwelling to an office occurs. Mr. Garcia described the existing accessory structures and explained they will only be used for storage and not for any employee workspace. Mr. Hol diman recommended a condition be placed on the ordinance limiting these structures to storage only. Mr. Gryder made a motion, seconded by Mr. Klaas, to forward the petition onto the Regional Plan Commission. With a voice vote of all ayes, the motion carried. Mr. Sterrett stated that the petition will move onto the January Regional Plan Commission meeting followed by the February Special Use Hearing officer. PUBLIC COMMENT- There were no comments.
