Mahoney Harold Feltz Fred Dollman Dale Woodworth Mary K. Price Steve Franks MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING YORKVTT.TF PLAN COMMISSION 27 FEBRUARY 1979 Mr. Harold Feltz moved to elect Robert Mahoney acting chairman of the Yorkville Plan Commission and was seconded by Mr. Woodworth. All present voting aye. Chairman Mahoney opened the public hearing — Petition for R—Zoning and Annex- ation — Ron Westphal Chevrolet. Mr. Ron Cobb, contractor for the petitioners, showed a rendering of the proposed structure. He stated the shop area contained 14,000 square feet and the office and showroom area contained 4,000 square feet. Part of the front area will be paved in asphalt and a green area will be left in front. They have already met with the state regarding a front entrance. They are proposing a forty foot entrance which would have to be approved by the city and/or county. The entrance would be north of the existing culvert and metal barricade. The entrance to Countryside Center is located approximately six hundred feet north of this property's north boundary. Mr. Robb stated the state wanted to retain the green area and swale as it was a collector for the culvert. Chairman Mahoney asked if any objectors to the proposal were present. There were no objectors present. Mr. Mahoney stated that our previous comments related to: 1) entrance 2) under cover body shop and towing service and 3) preservation of frontage road on Rt #47• The frontage road now comes off the Demetralis property. If it were to be continued at a later date, it would create a problem as the agency shows only a one hundred foot setback. Mr. Dollman noted that we should consider the Rt #34 Corridor Study in determining future development of the area. Chairman Mahoney then closed the public hearing as there were no objectors present. Chairman Mahoney then opened the regular meeting of the Yorkville Plan Commission. Those in attendance were Mr.. Mahoney, Mr. Feltz, Mr. Dollman, Mr. Woodworth and Mr. Dick Alexander from Clarage & Associates. Mr. Feltz moved to approve the minutes of the January meeting and was seconded by Mr. Woodworth. All present voting aye. 79.5 Petition for Annexation and Re—Zoning — Ron Westphal Chevrolet The property consists of 6.162 acres to be rezoned from agriculture to B-3 — Business Service District. It will consist of a full service Chevrolet agency, including offices, garage and sales room. They are seeking a rezoning and annexation to the city. Mr. Feltz noted that Rt. #47 has been bored for sewer and water and that both are available on the west side of Rt. #47. Mr. Dollman stated if the building was set back 100 feet, it would interfere with extension of a future frontage road. Mr. Ron Westphal asked if there were a frontage road, would it extend from the Y to Kennedy Road. It was noted this was a possibility. Mr. Westphal stated they now propose to locate 215 feet from the center of Rt. #47 and they would prefer being closer. 2 - February 1979 Mr. Feltz noted that Clarage and Associates' long range plan showed commercial development of the area to Kennedy Road. Mr. Cobb stated he felt the existing entrance to the frontage Road (Y entrance) was not desirable as it was opposite a median strip. He felt a more logical place would be opposite the entrance to Countryside Center. Mr. Feltz stated that possibly a•traffic light would be installed at Countryside Center's entrance and that an entrance to a frontage road could be located directly across Rt. #47• He said that now was the time to work it out before the Chevrolet agency was built. He said the city has been strong on the frontage road concept as evidenced south on Rt. #47 by the industrial park. Mr. Dollman then moved to approve the petition for annexation and rezoning from A to B-3 with the additional comment that future implications of- a frontage road should be a definite concern. Seconded by Mr. Woodworth. All present voting aye. Motion carried. 79.6 Review Final Plat _ Yorkshire Woods (Mezger) Attorney Tom Grant, representing the petitioners, stated they had appeared before the plan commission in May 1978, and that they now wish to submit a final plat to the county but must appear before us as the property is located within the one and one half mile limit of the city. Mr. Grant stated that the county superintendent and their engineer have worked out grade requirements as there are steep grades on the property. He then submitted to the Plan Commission a .'restrictive covenant as requested by the city which stated that the lot owners would annex to the city if requested to do so, if the development would become contiguous to the city within ten dears. Mr. Feltz inquired if the diameter of the cul-de-sac met the requirements of the subdivision control ordinance. Mr. Grant responded that the plat showed sixty feet rather than sixty five feet as required and that this would be changed before the final plat was authorized. Mr. Feltz noted that Dr. James Garnett had stated that the area would not be serviced by school buses and that the children would have to walk down Van Emmon to school. Mr. Feltz felt that this should be made clear to all residents of the subdivision. Mr. Feltz then moved that the plan commission approve the final plat noting the change from sixty to sixty five feet for the cul-de-sac and authorizing Dr. Coleman to sign the final plat if approved by the city council. Seconded by Mr. Dollman. All present voting aye. Motion carried. Attorney Dan Kramer, representing Robert Loftus, requested an informal discussion regarding a proposed development to be rezoned to B-3 west of Fox Industrial Park and south of Elizabeth Street. They are proposing construction of two buildings for small offices and small retail businesses. _ It will have an eight foot green area and thirty foot setbacks. An alley would be constructed to the rear of each building. They will have an eighty foot wide entrance street and would have a cul-de-sac or T turnaround at the end of the entrance road. Mr. Feltz noted the master plan for the area has both industrial and commercially zoned property. It was noted there was a severe drop off on the property and that there must be some type of water detention area. Mr. Feltz noted that citizens of the area would be very interested in the problem of water control. 3 February 1979 Mr. Dollman stated that Mr. Hinman had said at one time that a lake big enough to hold all the water could not be built. Va Mr. Feltz raised the question of a frontage road possibly extendint to Rt. #71• Mr. Dollman suggested that the petitioner secure a soil and water conservation report from Mr. Hinman's office. Mr. Woodworth then moved to adjourn the meeting and was seconded by Mr. Feltz. All present voting aye. Meeting adjourned.
