stated that the 25' utility easement had been discussed with Fran Klaas and it was
agreed upon for the present with the fact that it may need to be varied at some
point in the future.

to 40' . The easterly half of both lots is for drainage purposes -- this portion
not being suitable for building.

that the wording for the easement be changed to state "easement granted to the City
of Yorkville", rather than just stating that the easement for public utilities &
drainage was granted.

presented with the addition of the wording "Hereby granted to the City of Yorkville"

There is an existing field entrance on Rt. 71; this would become the main entrance
to the parcel in question. The lane would go in a westerly direction and then
follow the "L" direction to the north up to the building site. Mr. Grant stated
that the surrounding properties are mixed as far as zoning -- some are R-1, some
R-2 and some Agricultural.
As to location, Pavillion Heights subdivision can be viewed from the top of
the hill of the Leedy property. Since the County Zoning Board has given approval,.
the petitioner would now like confirmation that the Plan Commission has no objections.
Regarding snow removal problems, it was stated that the lane would be private & as
such, privately maintained.

PC88-48 -- CONCEPT PLAN - City of Yorkville RE: Conover's Unit 8 - Hillcrest Ave.
Attorney Grant stated that the concept plan was being presented to the Plan
Commission to gain feedback & possible voice of approval so that the final engineering
plans could begin, namely water, sewer & storm sewer. It would be desirable to be '
able begin construction of same this fall. Then in the spring something positive
could be done with the roadway.
The proposal is for B-1 zoning for lots 9 & 10 (still not finalized) . There is a
possibility of another public hearing due to the time lapse since the project was
first introduced. Mayor Davidson asked about the inclusion of lot #111 in the B-1
zoning. Documentation of the original agreements was not available. Overall, most
lots would be R-3 zoning and would be suitable for duplex construction. Reference
was made to the possible name change of the street -- it is currently shown as
"Hillcrest" on the plan.
Mayor Davidson stated that this plan is basic and was layed out with the council
and Mr. Conover. It was agreed that lot sizes and other specifics were left open
for variation.
Chairman Feltz asked for any objections to the concept plan as submitted. It
was stated for the record the present plan was acceptable. Attorney Grant would
file for the Public Hearing as appropriate.
PC88-49 - Burger King was delayed until parties to the petition arrived.
Chairman Feltz asked that the Commission consider discussing the final plat of
Wildwood -- Phase I. Copies of the final plat were distributed. Final engineering
plans are now completed and are being reviewed.
Jim Olson stated that approval of the final plat was being asked for at this
time. The original plat was tabled two months ago. Chairman Feltz asked if
Commonwealth Edison & Northern Illinois had looked into access for utilities onto
the property. Jim Olson stated that entrance would be from the north border.

Mayor Davidson asked that it be stated for the record that the developers were given
a check list regarding specific points, one of which referred town agreement with
Kendall Township; he questioned whether this had been done. Jim Olson stated
that this had been done; the requirements were provided for & a satisfactory
agreement had been reached.
Points of concern taken from the February, 1988, meeting were as follows:
"Mary K. Price made the motion to approve the Preliminary Plat of Wildwood
Unit 1, without any variances to the City requirements and subject to the following:
1. Engineering
2. Recording of water retention easement
3. Agreement with the Kendall Township Road Commissioner; and
4. Annexation of the total area (100 acres) into the Sanitary District."
Regarding traffic flow, it was stated that the intent was to bring all traffic
in from Rt. 126 (this not to be considered as a through street for any other
purpose. ) Regarding sewer access, Mayor Davidson stated the agreement with the
City was to force sewer main back into the Industrial Park. Chairman Feltz suggested
that the building line should be set back 80' from the lot line. Jim Olson said that
this was a matter of point of measurement. Mayor Davidson stated that the water
retention situation had been resolved.
It was agreed that all matters of concern had been addressed. Chairman Feltz
asked for a recommendation. The motion to approve the final plat of Wildwood --
Phase I was made by George Stewart; motion subject to final engineering drawings.

Ament - yes Price - yes Bretthauer - yes Feltz - yes
Stewart - yes Laube - yes Holdiman - yes
At this point Chairman Feltz introduced Dan Laube and welcomed him into the
Plan Commission & asked all members to introduce themselves. The Mayor then asked
for an update on the Clarage project. Attorney Grant presented a new conceptual
site plan. He further stated that Jim Clarage had tried to address all concerns as
previously suggested. The progress can be summarized as follows:
1. Now the development will consist of 5 units instead of 6.
2. The common area between the two buildings has been eliminated. The effect
being more side yard.
3. Regarding parking, there are now three parking spaces per unit available.
The project will be presented to the City Council 11-17-88 for further direction.
Mr. Clarage stated that the <existing cottage would be taken down and that an attempt
to reach an agreement with tenants or owners in the building next door would be
pursued. Alderman Radke affirmed the ecomonics of the proposed development with
regard to the property to the east & its effect on the selling possibilities.

George Stewart asked Mr. Clarage if he had heard any response from the people
involved. Mr. Clarage stated that he had spoken with several of the owners and
suggested that there would be future meetings to let their views & concerns be known.
It was said tonight's presentation was only an update -- no formal request was
being made for approval of the plan.
PC88-49 - RE$UBDIVISION - Burger King - Countryside Center, Unit 5, Lot 3
Jim Conroy, Site Development Engineer for Burger King Corporation, presented
the petition & stated that the owner of the property, Wayne Stepina, would be in
attendance also. The location of the property was described as the northeast
corner of Rt. 47 & Rt. 34 -- businesses in order would be Amoco, Hardee's,
Burger King. The proposed layout of the property would be as follows:
1. One cut onto Rt. 47 is proposed to give direct access. This a 35' curb cut
and has received preliminary approval from Illinois Department of Transpor-
tation. This would include a drive-through lane of approximately ten
stacking stalls. There would be a common access going through the Amoco
site, the Hardee's site, and finally the Burger King site.
2. There would be a total of 64 parking spaces which is considered more
than ample according to Burger King specs.
3. There would be a 60' set-back from the street.
4. The project would be tying into the storm & sanitary system; drainage
would be into catch basins on site and ultimately into the drainage swayle
along the right-of-way of Rt. 47.
Chairman Feltz asked Fran Klaas if he had looked at the plan related to the
water retention problem. Mr. Klaas stated that a state permit would be required
for any such retention. Mr. Conroy stated that this was not a problem. Fran Klaas.
asked about the 20' utility easement on Rt. 47. It was agreed by Mr. Conroy that
this was actually a 10' plus 20' easement. Mr. Klaas further questioned the
possibility of running the easement all the way through lot #2 to the east end.
Mayor Davidson questioned any negotiations in progress regarding hooking up to
sewer & water. His concern was with property owners to the north. Mr. Conroy
stated that it was his understanding that Amoco was handling the situation and he
would look into the matter.
Wayne Stepina, owner, stated that he thought that Amoco was going to bring
water & sewer down. Mr. Conroy confirmed that he would follow up. Mayor Davidson
stated that the road agreements have been finalized with the state in regard to the
proposed cuts onto Rt. 47. Larry Bretthauer asked why a frontage road idea would
not be feasible. His concern was traffic to or from Burger King across the Drug Store
property. He asked if there would be room for an east/west road in the future.
Mr. Conroy stated that tomight's request was only for resubdivision & not for
concerns being brought up. Chairman Feltz asked if each lot did not have to access
a public road. It was stated that lot #2 had frontage only on the dedicated ease-
ment. Mr. Clarage stated that the variance should be stated (actual frontage is
required; otherwise it must stated as such. )
• PLAN COMMISSION MINUTES NOVEMBER 16, 1988 -- PAGE 5
Pending no further discussion, Chairman Feltz asked for a recommendation from the
Commission. George Stewart motioned to recommend acceptance of the proposed
Burger King Resubdivision with the note of the granting of the easement/variance of
lot #2 requiring frontage for the dedicated road and also that the utility easement
on the south side of lot #2 will be shown as running to easterly end of lot #2.
