MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE YORKVILLE PLAN COMMISSION 26 FEBRUARY 1980
Chairman Robert Coleman called the February meeting of the Yorkville Plan
Commission to order. Those in attendance were Dr. Coleman, Mr. Feltz, Mr. Dollman,
Mrs. Price, Mr. Woodworth and Mr. Clarage.
80.1 Petition to Rezone :nd Reclassify Certain Property from B-2 General Business
District to B-3 Service Business District Robert E. Lee)-
Attorney Dan Kramer, representing the petitioner, Robert E. Lee, stated that Mr.
Lee owned a franchised building business in Yorkville. He receives pre-cut packages
from the parent company so that there are never large amounts of lumber stored on his
property. Attorney Kramer submitted a drawing which proposed a 7,040 square foot
building consisting of a front sales office, repair area and storage area for trucks
and materials. The building will be set on 44,000 square feet which is double the size
required for either B-2 or B-3 zoning. He stated that he felt B-3 zoning -was closest to
the use proposed by his client but said they would accept B-2 special use if the city
so desired. He again stated there would be no outside storage.
Mr. Clarage stated the zoning ordinance showed B-2 zoning for this area as it was
tied in to cover the older downtown area which had buildings set right up to the
property line. B3 zoning covering service type operations and required a 50 foot
setback from the property line. He felt the plan commission could recommend either B-2
special use or B-3 but said that B-3 was more suitable for highway type service businesses.
It was noted that the Texaco station to the north and vacant lot to the ,south of Mr.
Lee' s property were zoned B-2. Mr. Woodworth stated he felt granting B-3 zoning would
not be disruptive to the general area.
Mr. Dollman then moved that the plan commission recommend to the city council
that the property be rezoned from B-2 General Business District to B-3 Service Business
District in accordance with the plan as submitted to the plan commission tonight. Seconded
by Mr. Feltz. A roll call vote was taken with all members present voting aye. Motion
carried unanimously.
City Planner James Clarage submitted a memo regarding the updating of the subdivision
control ordinance. He stated the 1975 ordinance needed revising and updating in order to
include new materials._ He suggested that additional section include A. Flood Prevention
Requirements (He stated the State of Illinois. frowned upon storage 6f water on a flood plain
unless there is compensatory storage also). B. Erosion -and Sedimentation Control Requirements
(No mud draining to creeks, ditches, etc.). C. Processing Procedures for Plats (An outline
checklist). E. Planned Unit Development/PUD.
Mr. Woodworth stated he felt the city required the services of a fire marshall. Mr. Woodworth
and Mr. Feltz felt we have had_difficulty maintaining street widths and that the ordinance
should be tightened up regarding this.
Mr. Woodworth moved that the plan commission recommend to the city council that the
subdivision control ordinance be revised and updated. Seconded by Mr. Feltz. All present
