Plan Commission Minutes 1989 07-19-89 MINUTES OF THE PLAN COMMISSION OF THE UNITED CITY OF
THE VILLAGE OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY, ILLINOIS
HELD AT THE KENDALL COUNTY BOARD ROOM
JULY 19, 1989 7:00 P.M.
The July meeting of the Plan Commission was called to order by Larry Langland,
acting Chairman in the absence of Harold Feltz. The following members were present:
Don Ament Larry Langland Dave Greiter Don Schoenfielder
Absent: Harold Feltz, George Stewart, Clarence Holdiman, Sandra Adams,
Rick Doetschman, Larry Bretthauer, Kevin Collman, Dan Laube
Others present: Fran Klaas, James Clarage, Alderman Gary Bown, Attorney Jim
Olson, Petitioner Randy Hatcher.
The minutes from the June meeting were presented. The motion to approve as
written was made by Don Ament; the second by Dave Greiter. The first item of
business was introduced:
PC89-27 -- FINAL PLAT - IRA PERKINS TOWNE HOME ADDITION - 704-714 N. BRIDGE ST.
Attorney Jim Olson presented the Plat. He pointed out that the Final was exactly
the same as the Preliminary. Issues addressed included the common driveway ease-
ment being better defined on the Plat and the question of separate utilities.
Mr. Langland stated that the utilities issue was part of the motion to recommend
approval of the Preliminary at the June meeting. Mr. Olson stated that the
question was not answered directly; it would not, however, present a problem
if not separate now, Mr. Perkins would handle.
Gary Bown raised a question on behalf of the City Council. The wording on the
Plat states that the property is "within 12 miles of the corporate limits of
the United City of the Village of Yorkville". It was agreed that the 12 miles
wording could be eliminated to clarify that the property was within the City
Limits.
With regard to lot division, Mr. Bown stated that lot #1 does not readily appear
to have access. The Council feels that a notation stating that all lots have
access and easements are granted to insure that it stays that way should be on
the Plat. Mr. Olson clarified that the driveway shown on lot #2 was strictly_ for.*
the use of lot #1. Jim Clarage suggested that if the Council wanted a clearer
statement of this particular easement, perhaps the deed covenants could be
altered to comply and to eliminate any possibility of future dispute.
Dave Greiter questioned the set back compliance & whether a variance should be
asked for. It was stated that the wording of the motion to approve contained
the statement that this would not set precedent; it was accepted as existing
property, not being changed.
With no further questions apparent, Mr. Langland asked for a recommendation.
JULY PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 2
Don Ament made the motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
Final Plat of the Ira Perkins Towne Addition; providing that they clarify access
to lot #1 (particularly that portion that is on lot #2) , that separate water meters
be provided for each building, and that the wording stating the property is
within lk miles of the City limits be stricken. The second was by Don Schoenfielder.
Roll call vote carried as follows:
Ament - yes Langland - yes Greiter - yes Schoenfielder - yes
PC89-28 -- PRELIMINARY PLAT - HATCHER COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT - RT. 47
The petition was presented by Attorney Olson. The property is customarily known
as the Westphal property; the portion in question is the northerly three acres.
There has been a change in lot line; it has been moved 10' south. Lot #1 will
now be 2.985 acres, lot #2 will be 2.015 acres. Mr. Clarage questioned the
easement; it will be primarily on lot #1 and lot #2 will have virtually no
entrance. Mr. Olson stated that access would be from the easement along lot #1
and would not present a problem.
The zoning is stated as B-3 and the requested development complies. Dave Greiter
auestioned access to a fire hydrant. In his opinion this was agreed to but was
never carried out. His concern is with the potential problem with getting fire
hose from the street to buildings at the back of the property. He would like to
see a water main and hydrant located somewhere on the property (other than just
on Rt. 47) .
Both Mr. Clarage and Mr. Klaas saw no apparent problems with the development
as presented. It was suggested that the issue of hydrant could be addressed
at the time the actual building plans were presented.
Dave Greiter made the motion to recommend to the city Council the approval of
the Hatcher Commercial Development as depicted on the Preliminary Plat. The
second was made by Don Ament.
Roll call vote carried as follows:
Langland - yes Greiter - yes Schoenfielder - yes Ament - yes
The July meeting of the Plan Commission adjourned at approximately 7:30 P.M.
