PC-86-8 - Conover Final Plat ------- ----- ---- Chairman Groner stated that the first order of business would be to consider Conover's final plat. He questioned as to whether there were any changes made by the Council that the commission should be aware of. Robert Davidson stated that the council has not agreed to anything that the commission has not already approved. The sidewalks, storm sewer, and curb have been waived. The street that is to meet the city code is on the plat. The City Council did issue a temporary building permit on one lot for construction due to the weather. Mr. Johnson stated that the council did annex the property, and that this is the same final plat that was brought in originally. The lot sizes on the plat is what is to be considered at this time.

PC-86-9 - Kendall County _ Rick Johnson Zoning (Rt. 71) ------- ---- ---- ------- ----- -- -- Chairman Groner stated that the next item on the agenda is a map from Rick Johnson to rezone property on the corner of Rt. 71 and Rt. 47 which is behind the hotel and restaurant. Mr. Olson stated that the request is going through the County, but it is within the 1 1/2 mile jurisdiction of the city limits. The property is directly south of the Wildwood property in the wooded area. It is presently zoned County B-1 in back and B-3 in front. Mr. Johnson is buying the property with the intent to have six residential lots of 1 to 1 1/4 acres. The entrance is east of the hotel's east entrance. Mr. Groner stated that directly across the street, easterly of the truck terminal of FS, there is a piece that is zoned multi-family. Mr. Hayden arrived at 7:30 p.m. . Mr. Feltz stated that they would be down zoning. He questioned as to whether this would be the best use for the property. Mr. Clarage stated that in the comprehensive plan the area is zoned for com- mercial and light industrial. A problem may arise in the future with the residential homes close to a business corner. The home owners will be legal objectors to any commercial that goes on the corner. With the highway there, the best use would be commercial, and residential could hinder the commercial tax base in the future. Mr. Olson stated that the property starts approximately around where the mult- family starts, and south there are four homes on Rt. 47. County subdivisions will not be approved unless they are on a wooded parcel and near the city. Mr. Feltz stated that the benefit of being near a city is the possible extention of utilities. Mr. Stewart felt that the truck traffic in the area may bother the homeowners in the future. Mr. Clarage recommended that the city request that the property be annexed into the city. He did not feel that there should be 6 acre parcels with zoning that contradicts the city's master plan and economical tax base. It .,. 10/28/86 - p 3 would have no economical value to the city for the area to be zoned residential. Mr. Johnson stated that the property is adjacent to the city and should be annexed. In the future, the restaurant, etc. , could all be annexed. Mr. Clarage felt that this would be spot zoning, and that the commission should stick to their comprehensive plan. MR. BEAUDRY MADE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND THAT THE REQUEST FOR REZONING BE DENIED DUE TO THE INCONSISTENT LAND USE BACKING UP TO EXISTING COMMERCIAL USE, AND IN THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT IS A PRIME INTERSECTION, AND IT WOULD BE IN- APPROPRIATE TO DOWN ZONE FROM COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL AND JEOPORDIZE ITS RE- MAINING POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL USES. THE COMMISSION ALSO REQUESTS THAT IN THE FUTURE THE PROPERTY BE ANNEXED INTO THE CITY. MR. STEWART SECONDED THE MOTION. A ROLL CALL VOTE WAS TAKEN. Groner - ves Stewart - yes Feltz - yes Ament - yes Price - yes Beaudry - yes Holdiman - yes The motion carried. Pc-86-10 - Preliminary Application Conference - Hube-r/Henne (W. Somonauk St.) ---------- - ---------- - ---- ------ --- ------- ---- Mr. Groner stated that the next item on the agenda was for a preliminary application conference for property on West Somonauk Street. Mr. Olson stated that they will be bringing this in as a platting of lots at the next meeting. The property is diagonal from the Grade School. Houses have been built and sold on the east side of West St. and on lot 1 of block 9. Lots 2, 3, & 4 will also be built on. They would like to prepare to the west for a subdivision. There is room for them to have minimum lot size. There will be no zoning changes requested. The property is currently zoned R-2. There is sewer along West St.. They are talking about coming on the back of the new lots and hooking into that with a pump station. The water needs to be extended down and a fire hydrant put in. Mr. Davidson stated that there is a 15 inch storm that runs through the property. An easment will be needed for control. He questioned the elevation and whether there is natural drainage. Mr. Olson stated that there is a creek that goes through the middle of the property. Mr. Davidson stated that they will have to show that it will not be blocked up. Mr. Olson stated that there is a pond to the west, which they do not own. Mr. Davidson stated that the commission cannot make any official recommendation at this meeting. Mr. Feltz made a motion to adjourn the meeting to discuss the comprehensive plan development. Mr. Ament seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned. - -- �--------------- Debbie Robertson, Rec.
