MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE YORKVILLE PLAN COMMISSION 26 SEPTEMBER 1978
Due to the absence of Dr. Robert Coleman, a motion was made by Mr. Kenton
to name Mr. Larry Langland acting chairman of the plan commission. Seconded by Mrs.
Price. All present voting aye. Chairman Langland then opened the public hearing
regarding Jiafts Wandell. Attorney Jim Wilson, representing Mr. Wandelly stated
that the petitioner owns Lots 11 2 and 3 of Block 2, Worsley Addition which is
presently zoned R-1 which has a minimum requirement of 2 "11 2 acres for a buildable
lot. Mr. Wilson stated they wish a rezoning change from R-1 to R-2 and wish to
combine Lots 1 and 2 and amend Lot 3. If this were done, there would be two buildable
lots rather than just one. Mr. Wilson stated this would conform with the neighborhood.
He said the lots were bordered by Worsley and Main Streets.
Chairman Langland then asked if any objectors were present. There was no response.
Mr. Langland then read from the minutes of the July 1978 plan commission meeting
regarding this petition. Mr. Woodworth noted there could eventually be water
problems. Attorney Wilson noted that R-1 zoning appeared to be obsolete for this
part of town. He said they want to build a home on Lot 3 which can be done
presently because of the R-1 zoning. If lots 1 and 2 were combined to form a single
lot, then there could be two homes on the lots and both lots would meet the
requirements for R-2 zoning.
Mr. Nelson stated he felt the plan was fine as long as it was compatible to the
surrounding area.
Mr. Langland then closed the public hearing.
Mr. Langland then called the regular meeting of the Yorkville Plan Commission

8.23 Final Plat - Klimek Subdivision - 3 Lots Briston Townshi Within one and
one half mile limit
Mr. Jim Olsen noted that this plat was identical to last month's preliminary
plat and stated that the county had rezoned the property R-3. The county had
required that Lots 1 and 2 share a driveway which had been the original intention
in order to limit access. It was noted that the county has a fifty foot set back
requirement. It was also noted the property across the road was all zoned R-3.
Mr. Nelson stated he had no objections to the proposal.
Mrs. Price moved that the final plat be approved and sent to the city council.
Seconded by Mr. Feltz. A roll call vote was taken as follows: Mr. Feltz - yes;

Mohris Resubdivision of Part of Lot b of Bakers' Subdivision. Business to RF-
Southeasterly 59.20 feet of Lot B. Within mile and one half limit
Chairman Langland noted that this was the property where the Country Charm
was locatedp the adjoining cornfield and down Tuma Road to the area where homes
were located.
Mr. Jim Olsen stated that Mohr's Resubdivision had been done in 1954. At that
time, there were two.business zoned lots ( A & B) and four residential lots
(C9 Dt E & F) and that the residential lots were never built on. The owners are
now selling the property and want county R-3 zoning for lots C., D* E & F which are
now zoned agriculture and part of Lot 6 which is now zoned business, It was noted
there would be three residential lots instead of four. Mr. Olsen stated this was
just a zoning matter and not a resubdivision. There are about 45*000 square feet
for each lot which would meet county R-3 requirements.
Mr. Langland noted that no new roads would be needed as they all front on
Tuma Road,
Mr. Nelson stated he had no objections to the proposal.
Mrs. Woodworth then moved to recommend that the rezoning be granted as it meets
with our comprehensive plan and send the proposal to the city council. Seconded

78.25 Blaine Harker - Preliminary Discussion - Industrial Lots
Attorney Tom Grant representing Mr. Harken stated the problem they had discussed
with the city council was the extention of the frontage road. The plat of Fox
Industrial-"Park shows the frontage road running to the north edge of Mr. Harker's
property. He said the council feels we might want to extend this road which if done
presently would chop off a portion of an existing home on the property. Mr. Grant
stated they are now proposing to annex and rezone only the easterly five and one
half acres which would have access off Badger and Wolf Streets and which would
then be like an extention of Fox Industrial Park. Mr. Grant said he thought Mr.
Harker would retain the property and strategically locate warehousing facilities.
They would leave the westerly portion (Approximately three acres) for future consid--
eration. It was noted the total plan had 8.7 acres. The area now to be annexed'
was about five and one half acres. Mr. Grant stated they would get access off
Badger Street. They would not need to extend it as they have no plans to subdivide
at the present time.
Mr. Feltz noted that 5.6 acres was not all that large and there was the
possibility that one manufacturer could utilize the entire parcel.

78.27 Ron Westphal — Preliminary Discussion =.Property North of Rt. 34 and East of
Rt. 47. 5 Acre Annexation
Mr. Ron Westphal stated that he owns 6.105 acres about 1/5 of a mile up from
Rt 34 on the east side of Rt. 47. He said that he wants to annex to the city and _ _
proposes to build an automobile dealership on the property. He first plans to build
a 14,000 'square foot facility and also have a facility for a heavy duty truck
franchise including sales and service and will also have a body dhop.
Mr. Kenton noted he thought there would have to be M-1 zoning if welding were
to be done..
Mr. Feltz stated our comprehensive ldnd ,use plan shows this to be an office and
business area.
It was noted that B-3 uses include truck sales and service, garagest and
automobile sales and service.
Mr. Westphal stated that bodywork would not be the main function of his business.
Mr. Feltz noted that B-3 zoning restricts body shops.
Mx. Westphal stated he would need body repair facilities to be competitive.
Mr. Langland stated if an accident were to rccur and the car was brought in to be ,
fixed, they would be in the body shop business and would have to have M-1 zoning.
Mr. Kenton noted that M—1 zoning does not correspond with our comprehensive plan.
Mr. Nelson suggested the possibility of requesting a variance.
Mr. Feltz suggested the possibility of asking for variance for a portion of
the property.
Mr. Woodworth stated a special use permit might be granted.
Mr. Mahoney stated the main problem seemed to be with cars waiting to go into
the shop and that perhaps kith proper screening, the problem might be alleviated.
Mr. Feltz noted that a dealership could not afford to have wrecked cars
sitting in the front of the property.
Mr: Westphal said they would have a fenced area.
Mr. Langland. stated he felt the zoning ordinance referred to body shops per se,
and not to new dealerships with a body shop attached.
Mr. Mahoney suggested that Mr. Westphal check with city council members regarding
their interpretation of the ordinance.
Mr.. Nelson stated that there was the possibility of granting B-3 zoning as long
as the'body work was incidental. If this were to become a problem at a future datep
we could control it because of the B-3 zoning.
Mr. Feltz stated he would prefer to see B-3 zoning.
Mr. Westphal said there will be one entrance, a raised showroom and a covered
service entrance. Sewer and water are available.
It was noted that the members of the plan commission felt there was a need
for this type of establishment in the area.
