Chairman Feltz opened the Public Hearing with the swearing in of those in attendance wishing to state their opinions during the hearing. Plan Commission members are listed in the regular minutes; interested citizens are listed on the sign-in sheet filed with the minutes. PETITION TO ANNEX & REZONE FROM KENDALL COUNTY A-1 to CITY OF YORKVILLE 110" OFFICE, R-2 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, R-3 RESIDENTIAL DUPLEX, AND B-2 BUSINESS, BY MERCHANTS NAT'L BANK OF AURORA TRUST #2175, BENEFICIAL OWNER, JOHN CONOVER -- SOUTH OF RT. 34 & CANNONBALL TRAIL Attorney Tom Grant introduced the petition. The property is located on the south side of Rt. 34 and west of Blackberry Creek. Tonight's issue is the recommenda- tion concerning proposed uses of the property. Total acreage amounts to 88 acres, 50 of which will be the site of the new Kendall County Jail. In years to come, the entire Kendall County governmental complex will be part of this development. Mr. Conover thought it would be in his best interest as well as that of the City to include some additional business zoning along Rt. 34 and also some additional office zoning along the proposed governmental complex. Attorney Grant summarized the proposed uses as follows: (moving from west to east) 1. The 50-acre site for the Kendall County jail and governmental complex. 2. 12-acre 110" office zoning site. 3. The ultimate extension of Cannonball Trail southerly into the property. 4. Balance of the property that adjoins Rt. 34 to be zoned B-2, general business classification. 5. Property immediately to the south to be zoned R-3 multi-family/duplex, buffering the business area; then zoning of the R-2 single family classification on the remainder. Attorney Grant stated that they felt the proposed plan was consistent with the long range plans for Yorkville as well as that of the County. The entire parcel would be serviced with public utilities (sewer & water) . Final development would comply fully with Yorkville subdivision control ordinances. The proposed annexation agreement would remain in effect for 20 years -- it was agreed, however, that with respect to the subdivision control ordinace the period would be reduced to 10 years. The preliminary plan shows an access road off Rt. 34 at the top of the hill; this will not go in -- the only access into the property will be Cannonball Trail. Tonight's issue concerns rezoning and annexation, not platting. The floor was then opened to any of the public in attendance wishing to state concerns or ask questions of either Attorney Grant or Gary Conover. 4 • PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES PAGE 2 Gary Kritzberg questioned the overall plan of the proposed project. He stated that as the land owner right next to the property, he should be entitled to more information. He was concerned with the creek, the possibility of the pro- perty being on a flood plain, whether or not he would be forced to also annex into the city. He also expressed opposition to the multi-family zoning. The question posed was when the appropriate time was to ask about the overall plan. Chairman Feltz stated that the plan presented at this time was a concept plan showing what the owners thought would be done with the property. This was subject to change until the time when a preliminary plat is submitted. Further questions were asked with respect to future roads, sewer and water access, etc. Mr. Kritzberg expressed concerned with what could happen to his property once the proposed zoning was approved. The density factor for multi-family use was questioned. Another individual questioned the possibility of additional access roads. Attorney Grant assured that the only access planned for this development was Cannonball Trail. The only exceptionwould be a possibility of a future cut requested by the County at the west end of the property. Mr. Feltz stated that the Department of Transportation had written to Fran Klaas city engineer, expressing that they would prefer only one cut off Rt. 34 into the proposed development. Arthur Crawford asked how many families in total were projected to be accommodated by this development. Jim Clarage stated that any projection would be an estimate only; the sketch plan as it is now would indicate 25 single family and 11 duplex, totaling 47 family units. Chairman Feltz asked for any further comments from the public; hearing none, the Public Hearing was closed. Joanne M. Ellertson Recording Secretary t MINUTES OF THE PLAN COMMISSION OF THE UNITED CITY OF THE VILLAGE OF YORKVILLE, KENDALL COUNTY, ILLINOIS HELD AT THE KENDALL COUNTY BOARD ROOM SPECIAL MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 1989 7:00 P.M. The special meeting of the Plan Commission was called to order by Chairman Harold Feltz. The following members were present: Harold Feltz, George Stewart, Clarence Holdiman, Don Ament, Larry Langland, Sandy Adams, Rick Doetschman, Dave Greiter Absent: Larry Bretthauer, Kevin Collman, Don Schoenfielder, Dan Laube Others present: Mayor Robert Davidson, James Clarage, Attorneys Dan Kramer and Tom Grant, and reporters from WSPY and the Joliet Herald News The regular meeting was recessed to conduct the Public Hearing after which the following petition was presented along with affidavits verifying proper notification to both adjacent land owners and proper governmental bodies: PC89-33 -- ANNEXATION & REZONING FROM A-1 TO 110" OFFICE, R-2 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, R-3 RESIDENTIAL DUPLEX, AND B-2 BUSINESS BY MERCHANTS NAT'L BANK OF AURORA TRUST #2175 (JOHN CONOVER) -- SOUTH OF RT. 34 & CANNONBALL TRAIL. It was decided that it would not be necessary for Attorney Grant to restate the proposal already detailed during the Public Hearing. Chairman Feltz asked that he be available for any questions from Plan Commission members. Rick Doetschman questioned the location of the sewer line. Mayor Davidson ex- plained that there were three possible locations; the engineering study would decide this point as well the exact positioning of the water line. It was verified that no lift stations would be required. George Stewart asked for clarification on how the change from 20 years to 10 years regarding subdivision ordinance would affect land cash requirements. Attorney Kramer stated that it would not have any effect on land cash. The 20 year agreement, according to Attorney Grant, would lock in the zoning and the zoning uses; as far as subdivision control, ten years is acceptable; with respect to the rest, the rates do float -- if the rates on land cash change or if impact fees, etc. , change, the development is subject to the fluctuations. Don Ament questioned the possibility of a stop light at Cannonball Trail. Mayor Davidson stated that at present such a provision is not included. Communications between the County, City, and State are covering this projection for a future date. Rick Doetschman asked Jim Clarage for his opinion on a frontage road. Mr. Clarage stated that it would not be necessary for one user or one complex; it could be PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 2 be incorporated within the parking system as a private drive. At the time when a subdivision of the 8.65 acres into 4 parcels, or whatever other division, was presented would be the time to include the issue of a frontage road. Attorney Grant stated that when the preliminary was presented, it would show all frontage on Rt. 34 as no access, with the exception being at the far west end where the County might want to have access. Dave Greiter asked that the Commission consider the Comprehensive Plan; this calls for commercial/business along Rt. 34 and low density/residential all the way to the River. It does not mention duplex/multi-family use. Chairman Feltz stated that duplex development indicated was not the density that would be in a high rise apartment building. Mayor Davidson noted that the proposed use of the R-3 was to act as a buffer between the residential and the business area. This plan is depicted as similar to what was done with Countryside Center. Attorney Grant further stated that this use was proposed for two reasons -- the buffer effect to the business area, and to satisfy a need for duplex type rental housing. George Stewart asked about the rewriting of the petition. Mayor Davidson stated that the decision of the Council was to take the issue to committee. Don Ament asked whether or not this would have to go before the County for acceptance; it was verified that it would not. Larry Langland made the motion to recommend approval of the annexation and rezoning of the property subject to the following: 1. No other cuts east of Cannonball Trail with the possible exception at the far west portion of the property as discussed. 2. The annexation agreement to be reduced to 10 years with regard to the subdivision control ordinance. The second was made by Don Ament. The motion carried with roll call vote as follows: Stewart - yes Holdiman - yes Ament - yes Langland - yes Adams - yes Doetschman - yes Greiter - yes Feltz - yes With no further discussion apparent, Chairman Feltz asked for the motion to adjourn. Larry Langland so moved and Sandy Adams gave the second. The special meeting of the Plan Commission adjourned at approximately 7:45 P.M. Joanne M.
