The May meeting of the Plan Commission was called to order by Chairman Harold Feltz with the following members present: Harold Feltz, Larry Langland, Tom Lindbloom, Kevin Coltman, Dave Greiter, Louis Nauman Absent: George Stewart, Clarence Holdiman, Don Ament, Sandra Adams, Gail Digate, Ken Johnson Others present: Mayor Davidson, Attorney Tom Grant, Aldermen Larry Small and Bill Radke, Richard Holland, Don Hausler, and Richard Speckman (Jeff Storm arriving later) Minutes of the April meeting were approved as written. The motion was made by Larry Langland and seconded by Kevin Collman. The first item on the agenda was present: PC90-23 - ANNEXATION & ZONING TO M-1 BY GROWMARK - N/E CORNER OF ROUTE 47 & 71 Information on this petition was originally presented at the April meeting but was deferred to correct a error in zoning classification. Discussion regarding types of allowable businesses under the M-1 classification had been introduced at the public hearing with Gromark's present and future use plans considered. There were no new comments heard from the Plan Commission members. Louis Nauman moved that the commission recommend approval of the annexation & zoning to M-1 of the northeast corner or Rt. 47 & 71. Larry-Lah4land gave the second and roll call vote carried: Nauman - yes Greiter - yes Collman - yes Lindbloom - yes Langland - yes Feltz - yes PC90-24 - ANNEXATION & ZONING TO B-3 BY RICHARD HOLLAND - 0.437 ACRES ON ROUTE 34 EAST OF ROUTE 47 No comments or questions were presented by commission members. Larry Langland moved that the commission recommend approval of the annexation & zoning to B-3 of the Holland property. Tom Lindbloom gave the second. Mayor Davidson asked that it be noted that a variance in the number of required parking spaces would be asked for. Also discussed were the run-off choices; this could be channeled toward the center of the lot or possibly to the front parking area. A slight variance in the back lot setback was noted. Mayor Davidson stated that the Council, Kerry Green and Hollands had met to discussion the back lot lines; with the 30' utility easement a good buffer between buildings would be provided. MINUTES OF THE PLAN COMMISSION MAY 16, 1990 PAGE 2 Dave Greiter asked how close the Los Rios building would be. It was noted that there would be 2 or 3 feet between buildings. Details of access to the rear of the buildings and the future hook-up to city sewer and water were discussed. With no further discussion on the motion, roll call vote was taken and carried the motion as follows: Collman - yes Lindbloom - yes Langland - yes Feltz - yes Nauman - yes Greiter - yes PC90-25 - PRAIRIE PARK SUBDIVISION - BARRY NILES Although the petitioner was not represented, it was recommended to update any information on this project for the benefit of commission members. Potential and existing problems with the development were noted as follows: When the St. Pat property was brought in provision for the extension of Jackson Street was not insured This would need to be addressed and is in discussion at the present. Also in consideration is the provision of a 10' easement on the east boundary line for the extension of the storm sewer. Third, is the problem with St. Pat's exiting onto Fremont St. just north of where Jackson St. would go through if extended. It would be too close to the intersection and would create problems. Therefore, if Jackson St. goes through, the parish center would need another cut onto Jackson St. Chairman Feltz stated that the question of how the Prairie Park subdivision would affect the St. Pat property was raised when the petition was first presented and it was stated at that time it would not affect it. When presented to Council, however, the above points were questioned. Mayor Davidson said that the cash donation to the school system was also discussed with Mr. Niles; his offer was $800 for the first 2 years and $1200 thereafter. The final number will likely be $1000 toward the educational fund. The land cash figure is raised to $860 for a 3-bedroom home; this plus the $1000 will bring the total to approximately $1900 and would be collected at the time the building permit is issued. Dave Greiter gave his opinion for an alternative street choice. He suggested bringing the street through lots 11 & 12 and then around. The argument was that it would be better to have a street where the project meets the St. Pat property rather than to have duplex units butt up against it. Bill Radke was asked to check for a recorded vacation of Jackson Street east of Fremont Street. Discussion on the Prairie Park Subdivision was closed. MINUTES OF THE PLAN COMMISSION MAY 16, 1990 PAGE' 3 PC90-26 - HELENJO CLARAGE - 214 W. RIVER Attorney Grant stated that the petition had been presented to the Zoning Board of Appeals twice and rejected twice. He is looking for direction on what steps to take next. The only new development is that the problem with the fire department has been resolved satisfactorily. The variations to be asked for were presented and those that could be acted upon by the zoning board of appeals were noted: 1. R-3 requires a 90' building line; this project has an 87' line but the variation could be acted on the zoning board of appeals. 2. The front yard is 28' instead of 30' and again could be acted on by the zoning board of appeals. 3. The side yard on the west is 3' instead of 10' and this variance. could not be approved by the zoning board of appeals. 4. The east side yard requires a variation to allow only 1' instead of 10' in the area of the garages. (This satisfied the concern of the fire department for access. ) 5. The front yard would require a variance to allow parking. 6. A fence is to be around the entire area, specifically the front; this would require a variance. There are two main problems with the project -- the zoning ordinance requires 10' on each side and there is a problem with this on either side. The fire department wants the construction as far as possible from the existings units, but satisfying that provokes the complaint from the sanitary district that the construction is too close to the lot line on their side. Various concerns were presented by commission members -- Collman; potential problems created by the structure being too close and with the density -- Lindbloom; additional traffic in an already hazardous situation -- Greiter; visibility. The dilema expressed by Attorney Grant is that this property cannot be developed as it is presently zoned; he maintains that the proposed development is within the zoning requirements for R-3. Chairman Feltz gave the opinion that this type of project could be an improvement to the area and prompt the beginning of the reconstruction of an undesireable situation. Richard Speckman (area property owner) stated that if it was necessary to correct zoning, any subsequent development should follow the ordinance for the granted zoning and not be allowed variances. Attorney Grant noted the reason and need for the same; the variations concept is based on unique characteristics of property and in this case, the variations asked for would be for the benefit of all parties concerned. The specific benefit for emergency access was noted. The apparent opinion of the plan commission is that the 4-unit structure planned is not acceptable. Discussion followed on the possibilities of a 3-unit receiving a more favorable recommendation. MINUTES OF THE PLAN COMMISSION MAY 16, 1990 PAGE 4 A show of hands to give some idea of how a 3-unit plan would be received indicated 4 to 1 would consider a favorable recommendation. It was the general feeling that the proposal as it is just is too large for the space provided. Attorney Grant would take the concerns of the plan commission back to Mr. Clarage. Before the close of the meeting, Mayor Davidson thanked commission member Dave Greiter for his dedication during his term of service and expressed the appreciation of the City Council as well. The May meeting of the Plan Commission was adjourned by Chairman Harold Feltz at 8:15 P.M. Joanne M. Ellertson Recording Secretary MINUTES OF THE PUBLIC HEARING OF THE PLAN COMMISSION OF THE UNITED CITY OF THE VILLAGE OF YORKVILLE KENDALL COUNTY, ILLINOIS, HELD AT THE YORKVILL CITY HALL MAY 16, 1990 7:00 P.M. Chairman Feltz opened the Public Hearing, none in attendance requesting or needing to be sworn in. The first hearing scheduled was as follows: PC90-23 - ANNEXATION & ZONING TO M-1 BY GROWMARK - N/E CORNER OF ROUTE 47 & 71 This hearing was originally scheduled as B-3 and needed to be republished correctly as M-1. This zoning would be suitable for the type of business planned. M-1 is preferable to B-3 specialized use. The basic function of Growmark is the re- conditioning of fuel oil & gas tanks. With no further discussion apparent, this hearing was closed. PC90-24 — ANNEXATION & ZONING TO B-3 BY RICHARD HOLLAND - 0.437 ACRES ON ROUTE 34 EAST OF ROUTE 47 Chairman Feltz first swore in Mr. Holland. It was stated that the plan was to annex the property into the City and proceed with plans to construct a retail store or drug store. With no one from the public having questions or comments, the public hearing was closed. Joanne M. Ellertson, Recording Secretary
