Drummer soil has severe limitations for building., septicst paths and trails because of the high water table. He said the report did not zero in on the specific use of a riding academy and stable and that a small sketch of the property was usually included with the reports but was not attached. Mr. Langland stated that Drummer soil was not suited for a septic systemv was not too permeable, and that the run-off would probably goto the creek. Mr. Hanback stated he felt the plan commission should be considering whether the academy and stable would fit in with Yorkville's far-range plans. Mr. Langland stated if this special use request was approved by the county plan commission there were certain restrictions we as a city would want to impose. Mr. Feltz stated he also thought the county was asking us about our long range plan. Mayor Thanepohn asked if the stable would be compatible in a residential area.

They pay the difference between the cost the operator incurs and the amount each apartment renter is able to pay. 3. IHDA is responsible for policping the operation of the complex including such items as sanitation, safetyv fire protection, etc. 4.

IHDA Income Qualifications: Very Low Income One person — maximum $4 600 yearly two persons — maximum $ 9100 yearly Low Income One person — maximum $7650 yearly two persons — maximum $9800 yearly 9. The Yorkville project will require at least 3CP/o occupancy of Very Low Income residents, but there could be as many at 70l Very Low Income residents. If the project has less than 30%o VLI residents, the operator would be expected to attract VLI residents. 10. Definition of Income: A. Income from Pension Plans B. Income from Social Security C. Income Interest only on money in bank,, stocksp bonds, propertyg etc. 11. HUD will subsidize rent payments. _ 12. HUD will subsidize 80% of rent value up to 60 days. After 60 days, the operator is expected to attract residents. Mr. Beach stated he still had the following questions: 1. Is the parking adequate. 2. Should Dickson Court be vacated for a private venture. 3. Why not ud e adjacent 'land already zoned R-4 at Countryside. 4. If the complex is unable to attract 309 occupancy from Very Low Income residents o,g Kendall County, would residents from other counties be recruited. Rev. Rezach passed out a summary report on "A Survey of Senior Citizens" by the Four Rivers Agency for Older Americnas which pertained to Kendall County. _ 3 — May meeting The report had the following conclusions: 1. half of our older population need financial assistance. 2. one third have serious transportation problems. 3. a considerable number would like change of residence. 4. Kendall County needs 200 units of senior citizen housing. Rev. Rezach stated that he already had eighty— nine names on a waiting list for the possible eighty units to be constructed in Plano and Yorkville. A survey of senior citizen housing in surrounding counties indicates that they all have a waiting list for rental units. Mr. Hanback asked Rev. Rezach the nature of the complaints from some Countryside residents. Rev. Rezach replied that he had met with neighbors- in Countryside who had hired Attorney Tom Grant for legal council:: They felt that Countryside Center was a planned unit development when they purchased their homes and felt that this re—zoning would depreciate the value of their homes. Rev. Rezach explained that the unit was for Kendall County residents and that there will probably be a waiting list from within the county. He also told the plan commission that the only acreage available to Madsen Corporation from Mr. Jack PurceL]', was the property zoned R-2. The fourteen R-4 zoned acres is more land than the project could afford to buy. Lots 20 through 24 were the only lots Mr. Purcell would agree to sell to the Madsen Corporation. Rev. Rezach also stated that we are under a time bind for approval of the project as ground breaking was scheduled to begin in August. Mr. Thanepohn stated he felt the people were concerned about the needs of senior citizens, but that certain problems had developed regarding this particular re—zoning i.e. inadequate parking, no rear driveway for fire protection, the vacating of a city street for a private venturev and the possibility that the Madsen Corporation could get a second option for different land in Countryside. A committee consisting of Dr. Coleman, Mr. Langland and Mr. Dollman was appointed to discuss with Mr. Purcell the possibility of securing an option on property already zoned R-4 in Countryside Center. Item 76.13 — Land And./or Cash Contribution Ordinance was tabled until the June meeting. Mr. Feltz moved to adjourn the meeting and was seconded by Mrs. Price. All present voting aye. Meeting adjourned.
