PC88-25 - PRELIMINARY & FINAL PLATS Prairie Lands Subdivision - Unit 2 Spring/Quinsey. Attorney Tom Cross presented the petition -- he stated that it was his under- standing that the concerns of the Plan Commission included the problem with the cul-de-sac, access to the property to the north, and the extension of the sewer and water north on McHugh Road. Changes were made as follows: 1. There would be a street running north -- to be called Fremont. 2. The cul-de-sac would be eliminated. A dedicated easement would be provided for future extension of Center Street. 3. Water and sewer would be extended to the northern boundary of the property along McHugh Road. It was stated that the engineering plans were under consideration between Jim Olson's office and Fran Klaas.

The motion was then made by Larry Langland to recommend approval of the preliminary and final plats of the Prairie Lands Subdivision-Unit 2. The second was made by Mary Kay Price. Dave Greiter questioned whether the streets had to be put in before any building was started. It was stated that it was not necessary to complete the streets to begin building, but that no occupancy permits would be issued until the completion. The motion carried by roll call vote as follows: Feltz - yes Holdiman - yes Ament - yes Langland - yes Price - yes Bretthauer - yes Greiter - yes PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 15 PAGE 2 PC88-26 - PRELIMINARY PLAT Woodworth Subdivision - Unit 2 - Quinsey & E. Main Attorney Tom Grant presented the petition for Dale Woodworth. He stated that the original intent was not to proceed as quickly with the plan, but that the petitioner had determined that it would be timely to do so now. The plan now before the Plan Commission is basically the same as the previous plan which had been well received by members of the Commission. The engineering work is shown on the plan. It was stated that the lift station for the sewer line as originally planned was no longer being considered due to potential future problems developing. The subdivision would include a total of 64 lots of which 63 would be buildable. The plan was to develop in stages -- the first planned development to be the lots along Quinsey Road. No variances to the subdivision ordinance would be asked for. The city council had asked that Attorney Grant notify the property owners who had previously been given notice for the Public Hearing back in November. He stated that he had complied with the request by sending letters to each owner. (One landowner present submitted his letter to be filed with the minutes. ) Chairman Feltz referred to the November meeting at which time it was suggested to extend one or more streets and also the sewer and water lines. Tom Grant stated that the present objective was to not extend Main Street, but to force the traffic flow in the direction of Quinsey. Chairman Feltz agreed but expressed concern for property to the east. Dave Greiter expressed concern regarding the capacity of the 8" sewer line on E. Main St. It was stated that this had been a constant concern over the past few months. The engineering consultant stated that it was his opinion the new development would bring the capacity to 90% of maximum. It was stated by Dale Woodworth that sometime in the future there would be a need for an interceptor line. He further stated that it was his opinion that the impact fees should be applied to the sewer interceptor. Further concern was expressed for the usage of monies collected from impact fees and how the city was presently applying it. Larry Langland stated that it would be advisable to see something in the way of assurance from Fran K'laas in regard to sewer system capacity. The consultant of engineering stated that Mr. Klaas agreed with the opinion as stated. Attorney Grant stated that Mr. Woodworth was considering donating the land along the river for a park area. Also, it was stated that he had funded a large portion of the lift station and had complied with all requests of the city in regard to the first plat presented. This was affirmed by Larry Langland. Chairman Feltz asked if any of the public in attendance wished to speak. Mr. Gawn asked to be recognized and stated his views on the lift station question. He stated that if they should anticipate coming down along the river with lift stations or start to come below the level of the sewers of Yorkville, he would request that the EPA intervene and give an opinion. Dave Greiter discussed traffic flow with Mr. Woodworth; Larry Langland restated his position on the sewer capacity statement of assurance. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 15 PAGE 3 Larry Langland made the motion to recommend the approval of the Preliminary Plat based on the recommendation of the city engineer that there is adequate sewer capacity. The second was by Don Ament. The motion carried by roll call vote: Holdiman - yes Ament - yes Langland - yes Price - yes Bretthauer - yes Greiter - yes Feltz - yes PC88-27 - PRELIMINARY PLAT - White Oaks Farm Subdivision - Fox Road - (Preliminary Plat & Covenants Enclosed Mr. Wehrli stated the following changes to the plat in compliance with the requests of the Plan Commission at the last meeting: 1. Emergency access to the pond area is now provided. 2. Sidewalks on the north side of Fox Road are shown. 3. There is a 30' setback on the river front lots. a. All cul-de-sacs have been enlarged to 50' radius to accomodate any emergency vehicles. 5. The location and size of the water main along Fox Road are shown accurately. 6. All changes to the existing sanitary sewer are shown.. (It was stated that there had been a meeting with the Mayor to discuss the sewer system. ) 7. The water main has been extended west between lots 15 & 16. 8. The jogging path will loop south of the tracks. It was stated that it was his opinion that the changes listed were the items of main concern at the last meeting. Larry Langland stated that the questions on the private road had not been addressed. Mr. Wehrli answered that the difficulty was in dealing with the Burlington Railroad. He feels that the legal responsibility for the back lots would fall with the owners -- the covenants for those lots would be very specific. Mr. Langland further asked if the insurability of those lots had been checked into; Mr. Wehrli stated that he had not checked with the title company as yet. Mr. Langland said that he disagreed with the idea of private roads within the city. The sewer system for the back lots was explained by Mike Mueller. It was stated that at this time it was planned that the landowners would be responsible for providing individual pumps. Mr. Langland disagreed. It was further stated that the plan was acceptable to the city engineers. An explanation of the entire outline of the sewer system followed; the entire site would be serviced by a gravity type system; the exception would be the area to the back. Regarding the access road to the river lots, it was stated that a turn around would be provided. There would also be fire hydrants provided for the back lots. Chairman Feltz commented that the covenants were specifically outlined. Alderman Radke asked about the inclusion of the covenants governing the private road; these would be separate covenants and would be added later according to Mr. Wehrli. In response to a question regarding the barn, Mr. Wehrli stated that it would probably be refurbished and stay. The open area that would include the house and pool area is still under research and discussion. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 15 PAGE 4 Larry Langland questioned the legality of the private road. Mr. Wehrli stated that this was an unanswered question. In regard to the road and crossing, he said that they would comply with whatever direction the Burlington suggested. Mr. Langland maintained his position of not having a private road. Mr. Wehrli emphasized the importance of the covenants of the homeowners association in matters of this type. His argument of keeping the road private was as follows: As a private road a crossing can be provided by licensing from the Burlington; if public, a hearing and lengthy application time is required. He included that any related problems with a private road were the sole responsibility of the homeowners. Chairman Feltz stated that the main issues were the private road and the lift station in the same area. Mr. Wehrli stated that this had been discussed with the Mayor and the city engineer and that it was agreed upon. Chairman Feltz stated that the Plan Commission had not been advised of the decision to date. At this point Dave Greiter stated that he would like to hear the position of Jim Clarage on the issue. Mr. Feltz stated that the only concern that Mr. Clarage expressed was in regard to the turn around area on Birch--a bubble would be preferable. After some discussion Mr. Feltz asked if anyone would consider making a motion. Mr. Langland stated that he would motion to approve with the exception that there be no private road and that the lift station be provided; he further stated that he was concerned with a safe entrance onto Fox Road. Don Ament made the motion to recommend the approval of the preliminary plat with the stipulation that there be no private road and that there be a lift station provided for the river lots; there also must a safe entrance onto Fox Road. The second was made by Clarence Holdiman. Roll call vote carried the motion as follows: Ament - yes Langland - yes Price - yes Bretthauer - yes Greiter - yes Feltz - yes Holdiman - yes Mr. Langland stated for the record that before his vote he emphasized that he was totally against the approval if it did not include the lift station and that there be no private road. PC88-28 — Go-Tane Annexation No one was present at this time to present the petition. Mr. Feltz stated that should Attorney Kramer arrive the peittion would be discussed at that time. PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 15 PAGE 5 Chairman Feltz asked if the Commission would consider discussing the petition on the Walnut Street Addition. The petition would be presented by Tom Grant. Attorney Grant stated that the petition was originally before the Commission on March 16. At that time it was recommended to the city council that it approve the rezoning to R-1 use. He stated that there was no engineering involved. The development would comply with city ordinances. It was the main concern of the city council to see easements provided for the future street on the north and also for water and sewer easements for the same. (also, the same consideration on the west. ) He further stated that when available, the lots must annex to city sewer and water. Initially, two lots would share a well, but lot #3 would have its own well. Tonight's request is for approval of the preliminary and final plat for three lots. The R-1 zoning has already been approved. Mr. Langland stated that he would like it to be stated for the record that when the city water and sewer are available the properties in question would have to hook up. The motion to recommend approval of the petition to the city council was made by Clarence Holdiman. The second was by Dave Greiter. It was carried by roll call vote as follows: Langland - yes Price - yes Bretthauer - yes Greiter - yes Feltz - yes Holdiman - yes Ament - yes At this time it ryas- stated that Mr. Clarage would have information on the comprehensive plan at the next meeting. Since Attorney Kramer was not in attendance, Chairman Feltz asked if the Commission should bypass the scheduled petition. Discussion followed with the end result being that the members felt that the petition could be acted upon without further delay. The motion to approve the annexation was made by Larry Langland. The second was made by Don Ament. It was carried by roll call vote as follows on the annexation of Go-lane: Price - yes Bretthauer - yes Greiter - yes Feltz - yes Holdiman - yes Ament - yes Langland - yes The motion to adjourn the June Plan Commission meeting was made by Mary Kay Price and seconded by Larry Bretthauer.
