Those in attendance were Dr. Cblemanq Mr. Feltzp Mr. Kenton, Mrs. Pricer Mr. Woodwortht Mr. Beach and Mr. Clarage. Mr. Woodworth asked that the following two amendments be recorded in the minutes of the September meeting: 1. The total acreage of parcels A and B is sixty-six acres; however, he now is concerned only with Parcel A which contains 18.7 acres. 2. At the September meeting I Mr. Woodworth had asked and had received permission to be excused from the voting on his pre—application conference. Mrs. Price moved to accept the minutes of the September meeting as amended and was seconded by Dr. Coleman. All present voting aye. Motion carried. 76.20 Land and/or Cash Contribution Ordinance Alderman Larry Beach stated the members of the city council felt the Yorkville Land and/or Cash Contribution Ordinance needed more discussion in order to taylor it to the needs of Yorkville. He stated that the paragraphs dealing with acreage needed for park land, and the figures concerning the school district should apply to Yorkville and not to West Chicago or to some other community which has already adopted this ordinance. Mr. Beach indicated that the city attorney said we ai should not require that developers for examplep donate more park land than already exists in the city. Dr. Coleman suggested that representatives from the school board and city council, the mayor, city attorneyv building and zoning officers city planner and plan commission all meet together in order to work this out and that perhaps it could be scheduled for 23 November — the next plan commission meeting. Mr. Clarage stated that all the ordinances were basically the same and that the figures contained in the ordinances tied back to guidelines already established in court. He did say that we would need proof of findingk howeverg and that the superintendent of schools should be asked to check this and bring his calculations to the meeting so that we would not have to start from scratch. Mr. Feltz stated that all members should be prepared beforehand with facts and figures. Mr. Clarage stated that adoption of the ordinance would probably add between $500 and $$00 to the cost of each housing unit. Many up—river communities have already adopted the ordinance and Yorkville should do so also. The secretary was instructed to place this matter on the agenda for the November meeting. 76.19 Preliminary Plat and Annexation — Dale Woodworth Mr. Woodworth stated that his attorneys Tom Grant t was attending a meeting in Plano, but would arrive later. He asked to be excused from the voting. He then passed out a Petition for Pre-Annexation Agreement and a Preliminary Plat 2 — October 1976 Meeting to all plan commission members. He stated that at this time he was concerned only with Parcel A containing forty—one lots on 1$.7 acres. Mr. Feltz stated that he would imagine the eight inch sewer would be adequate now, but as the city expands9 it may not be satisfactory. Mr. Clarage said that according to the subdivision control ordinance, Mr. Woodworth would have to comply with storm water drainage. If everyone continued to drain into the river, it would increase the flood level plain. Mr. Woodworth stated that the building set—back lines, although not shown on this plat, would be indicated on the final plat. Mr. Feltz stated he felt this zoning was compatible with the comprehensive plan. He also felt it should be the obligation of the city to change the zoning of the area from R-1 to R-2 in order to conform with existing use. Houses now located in this area zoned R-1 are not on the 2 1/2 acres required for R-1 zoning. Mr. Clarage stated that Mr. Woodworth would have to get a letter indicating soil conditions from the soil and water conservation department before the final plat is submitted. Mr. Woodworth stated that if he runs his own sewer and water and does his own hook—ups, he felt he should not have to pay the hook—up fee. It was explained he would have to pay regardless. In response to a question from Mr. Kenton regarding the square footage of the homes, Mr. Woodworth responded that he was unsure, but that he would put minimum square footage restrictions in the deeds. Attorney Tom Grant inquired about Item D in the Proposed Pre-annexation Agree- ment.(See Item D) It was stated this could be worked out raith the city council. He also inquired when the cash would be required for the schools under the provisions of the cash contribution ordinance. He was told it would be required at the time the building permit was issued. Mr. Kenton moved to approve the preliminary plat and annexation of Parcel A and refer it to the Zoning Board of Appeals and City Council temporarily waiving the soil and water concervation report until the final plat is submitted. Seconded by Mr. Feltz. It was then questioned if a quorem was present. There are only four voting members as Mr. Woodworth will not vote. Mr. Clarage suggested that as the plan commission acts as an advisory board, we could vote, and if the city council felt a quorem was necessary, they could refer it back to the plan commission. A voice vote was then taken. Four members voting aye. None votingUye. Mr. Woodworth abstaining. This vote was one member short of a quorem. Alderman Jerry Groner inquired about the status of phase 2 of the comprehensive plan. Dr. Coleman stated the plan commission would be working on this during the winter months. Mr. Clarage stated that originally they were going to wait for input from the town hall meetings but as they did not receive any, they were going to proceed as originally planned. He also said he would be in Yorkville for several days this month gathering field information. Regarding the Business and Economic Development Commission working in conjunction with the plan commission on the revitalization of the downtown areaq Dr. Coleman stated he would personally talk with Mr. Walter Olsen about this matter. Mr. Feltz moved to adjourn the meeting and was seconded by Mr. Kenton. All present voting aye. Meeting adjourned.
