6. Plan. Commission should receive a copy of the plat of annexation
as requested. Mr. Clarage stated that this was a recommendation not
. only for this particular project, but as a precedent for other such
petitions also.
7. The duplex agreement prohibiting any lar sr structure from being
built has not been provided.
8. The 10' utility easement along Rt. 34 to be written to the City of
Yorkville was still needed:.
Jim Clarage also offered the following comments:
1. Regarding the retention pond -- the petitioner states for drainage
an existing 20' wide easement. The legal description and/or the
document number under which it is recorded should be shown as proof
that the easement does exist. Also, in addition to the drainage
easement, the retention pond easement should be recorded to prevent
potential problems, such as filling in of the pond.
2. Regarding the flood plain -- a surveyor's certificate showing that
the subdivision is a specified number of feet from a waterway is
required to be provided. A owner's certificate stating that the
waterflow has not been changed or damaged in any way also is required.
3. Regarding John & Independence Sts. -- there is difference in width
from one end of the street to the other. (9" difference)
4. Regarding utility easements -- although a minor point, there is some
question to such easements being shown in all necessary areas.
Don Ament asked about Cannonball being cut off at Independence St. The Mayor
stated that it would not extend at this time, but that it was still being
worked out.
At this point, Chairman Feltz asked if the Conovers had intended to be at this
meeting. The possibility of tabling the petition until the matters of concern
could be discussed with the Conovers was suggested.
Mr. Conover did arrive at the meeting and Jim Clarage went over the details
of the previous discussion for him. He noted that the storm water retention
area off site needs to be clarified; he stated that Plan commission was to
receive copies of deed covenants and maintenance and easement agreements re-
lated to storm water discharge off the subdivision onto other properties so
that the Commission felt assured that the issues would be suitably resolved.
There were questions on property dimensions and required plat certifications.
He further noted that the Commission was not satisfied that all concerns of the
October meeting had been addressed. These items included:
Clarification of flood plain limits, inclusion of street specs, IDOT
agreements, drainage easements covenants & ownership agreements,
Cannonball "T", plat of annexation exhibit, duplex area clarification,
written utility easement to the City using standard specific wording.

Mr. Clarage also asked if Commonwealth Edison and Illinois Bell had approved
and signed off on Mr. Conover's utility easement layout. If not, he suggested
that the easements shown be looped around and connected. He further noted
that the existing easements mentione' (drainage, etc. ) should be clarified by
noting document numbers where they are recorded.
Fran Klaas stated that although separate block units were indicated, duplicate
lot numbers are used and could cause some confusion. Also noted was some
confusion on the actual dimensions on lot #12.
After a 15 minute intermission to discuss various options, the following decision
was reached. To allow the petitioner to proceed with securing the EPA permits,
the Plan Commission agreed to acknowledge that he could proceed based on the
engineering approval and then come back again with the final agreements. Louis
Nauman asked for the inclusion of lot #12 boundaries in any such recommendation.
The motion to recommend approval on PC90-32-Final Plat-Cimarron Ridge Subdivision-
John Conover-Route 34 was stated as follows:
The Plan Commission recommends that the developer review the list of
items discussed, consider them for the final plat, and bring back to
the next meeting or at his convenience. It is further recommended t'^at
the city engineer and administrator be authorized from a planning
standpoint and based on engineering documentation to allow this project
to proceed with securing of EPA permits down state.
The motion was made by Larry Langland and seconded by Sandy Adams. Roll call
carried as follows:
Langland - yes Adams - yes Collman - yes Lucietto - yes
