Dr. Coleman asked if auto and body repair work would be involved. Mr. Westphal responded that the primary operation would be in the sales capacity. A secondary operation would be repair work with 25-30% needing body shop work and the remaining percentage would be mechanical repairs only. Any wrecked vehicles could be provided with a screened area if the City should require it. There will be no over-the-road tractor or truck repair and the only truck repair will be 10' s to 30 ' s only. Mr . Dollman asked about signs . Mr. Langland stated that signs were controAed by City Ordinance and Mr. Westphal is now only asking for zoning and annexation. Mr . Mahoney asked where the entrance to Countryside Center was located in relationship to the property. Mr . Langland stated the entrance to Countryside Center was north of the property. Mr. Mahoney asked if the property was beingiannexed as being contiguous to Countryside Center with an afirmative answer being noted. Mr . Woodworth asked if water and sewer are available . Mr. Langland responded that if and when the City runs it across Route 47 they could most likely hook on at that time . Mr . Feltz read from the zoning Ordinance the business authorized in B-3 zoning. Auto sales & service is allowed. Mr . Langland stated it was probably taken for granted that body work is to be included, but to what degree would have to be determined when the building permit was issued . Page 2 Mr . Dollman asked about towing services and it was noted that it would be included in a service capacity. Mr. Mahoney moved that we recommend to the City Council approval of B-3 Zoning and annexation of Holdiman , Holdiman & Bazan' s Petition Agreement, seconded by Mr. Langland . All members present voting . Motion was carried. 78 . 33 Foxwood Estates — Subdivide to sixteen lots . Within one and one half miles of city limits . Dr . Coleman Stated the parcel is part of the original Ben Price farm west of the P.N.A. camp on River Road. Topography maps were passed out. James Olson stated there has been county approval with the stipulation that every other lot share a common driveway in place of sixteen (1_6) separate driveways . Mr. Olson further stated there will be a rear set-back on lots to prevent building in steeper areas . It is closer to the river on lots 3 ,4 & 5 because of springs and the flood plain is only about four (4) feet above the river . Mr. Olson stated Dr. Davis , one of the buyers , is building on lot 16 which is a larger lot than the rest. Mr. Olson stated there will be no septic fields due to the slope and sand filters will replace septic fields . Each lot will have its own private well . Mr. Olson stated 35 feet from the center of the road will be dedicated for right-of-way and that the property is ,.already zoned residential. Mr . Olson stated the covenant will call for a minimum of 2500 sq. ft. ranch homes and over 3000 sq. ft. for 2 story or more homes . Mr . Langland moved to recommend to the City Council approval based on the restrictions set by the County as follows : 1. Common driveway for every 2 lots . 2 . Rear set backs . 3 . Dedicated right-of-way to be 35 feet from the center of River Road. 4 . Use of sand filter system. The motion was seconded by Mr . Dollman. All members present voting aye . Motion carried. 78 . 34 Countryside Center - Resudivide Block 1 , Unit I . Jack Purcell and Roy Deane passed out plats showing existing buildings in dark shading and parking lots in light shading . Lots to be subdivided are lots 1 ,2 . 3 ,4,5 :& 6 . Anything else is contained in Lot 7 which is the shopping center itself. Mr. Langland asked if it was all one lot before and were they requesting it be divided into 7 lots . Mr. Purcell responded that nothing has changed except the lots require platting in order to be sold. Mr. Purcell noted the Bank of Yorkville building was not originally a part of it and McDonald ' s has since been sold . Requests for free standing buildings " Page 3 cannot materialize With.,qut platting and selling the lots individually. Mr. Langland then asked Mr. Purcell if one lot was being split into seven lots to which Mr. Purcell answered affirmatively. Mr. Purcell noted that sewer and water are available . Mr. Mahoney asked .if the the entrance to lots 3 ,4 & 5 '.would be from the inside or from the outside of the shopping center. Mr. Purcell responded it would be from within rather than out on the boulevard. Mr . Clarage asked if the parking on lot 1 was required parking for the shopping center itself . Mr . Purcell responded that its main purpose was for employees and guests and not for customers . Mr. Clarage then asked what would happen if lot 1 was sold and a building put on the parking lot. Mr. Purcell responded that it would be impossible as their lease with the merchants forbid it. If the bank were to buy the parking lot the lease would also go along with it . Mr. Langland asked if this same agreement was true of all existing parking lots in the shopping center. Mr. Purcell answered affirmatively. Mr. Clarage requested the driveway easements be indicated on the plats . Mr. Woodworth noted the streets within the shopping center are not dedicated to the city. Mr. Clarage stated the streets could be dedicated if brought up to city standards . Mr. Langland noted that if they were dedicated they would be there for all to use . Mr. Mahoney stated an entrance to lot 3 from Center ?arkway would be the same problem as with the Pizza Hut entrance with the median strip present. Dr. Coleman asked if it would be possible to enter Lot 3 from the south- east corner by Hornsbys , but noted that it was a badly congested corner for an entrance . Mr. Olson stated the possibility of a common driveway entrance for lots 3 & 4 off Countryside Parkway across from Palmer Court and also an entrance for lot 5 off the -shopping center street from the east. Mr . Clarage stated he felt no curb cuts should be allowed for lots 2 , 5 & 6 nor a common '.cut for lots 3 & 4 . Mr. Clarage suggested a frontage road for lots 3 ,4 & 5 . Mr. Langland responded he could see no need for another road. Mr . Langland noted Lot 7 must be cross to gain access to Lot 2 as well as to Lot 5 . Mr. Clarage stated access easements would have to be recorded. Lot 6 is the major entrance problem. Mr. Woodworth stated that a cut on Route 47 would have to be approved by the state highway department for lot 6 . Mr . Mahoney stated that if would be to Mr. Purcell ' s benefit to have an entrance from within the shopping center for Lot 6 across from Lot 5 to generate more shopping center traffic and business . Mr. Purcell noted he would personally object to a cut on the Center Parkway median strip for Lot 6 . Mr. Dollman stated the adversity with lots 3 ,4 & 5 seemed to be in a cut in the median strip and with the heavy traffic and there may be a need for another road. Mr . Feltz noted having a common drive for lots 3 & 4 across from Palmer Court made sense to him. Page 4 Mr. Clarage noted the median strip must have been installed in the first place for the purpose of limiting cuts . Mr. Dollman inquired about delivery truck routing with no rear delivery accesses inside the mall . Mr. Purcell responded that each lot would be self-contained and must all be approved before a building permit was issued. He stated also that it was impossible to know what types of businesses it would generate. He further stated Countryside Center is more strict on this matter than the City Ordinances. Mr. Clarage stated that restrictions could be put on the plat for no curb cuts and designate where there can be no curb cuts . Mr. Dean stated that an entrance for Lot 6 off the mall across from lot 5 would discourage any buyer if it were the only entrance/exit. Mr. Feltz noted that Lot 6 could be left for the buyer to come back before the City with some specific plan for approval as to where the entrance would be located. Mr. Purcell stated that this would be making a sale contingent on a plan and he felt it should be contingent on a building permit. Mr. Clarage responded negatively and stated that Mr. Purcell was asking to resubdivide the original shopping center and in turn- we are asking for certain conditions be met and it is only a fair exchange . Mr. Deane suggested an alternative for Lot 6 providing a dead-center cut to Countryside Parkway going east to be one-way as at the Pizza Hut. Mr . Dollman moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat of the Resubdivision of Block 1 , Unit 1 , Countryside Center subject to the following : 1. 00Center cut on Countryside Parkway for Lot 6 . 2 . No access off Countryside Parkway on Lot 4 and provide a common drive entrance for lots 3 & 4 to line up with the center curb cut on Countryside Parkway by Palmer Court. 3. Draw easements on the plat as discussed. 4. No cuts on Center Parkway for Lots 1 & 2 . The motion was seconded by Mr. Mahoney. All members present voting Aye. Motion carried.
