74.01 Preliminary Review of the Fitch-Hanson Farm
Representatives of the First Kendall Company, owners of the
former Fitch and Hanson farms presented some plans for a development
on the property. Alex Jacobs of the First Kendall Company; Attorney
Cal Thelin; Dale Siske, planner; and Brian Mays, a civil engineer
were present. Mr. Siske presented the plans for the property, which
is in the southern portion of the triangle formed by Rt. 47, Rt. 71
and Rt. 126.
Mr. Siske outlined plans for what would be called the Wildwood
Planned Unit Development. They included 399 single family homes;
225 multi-family units (36 one bedroom, 126 two bedroom, and 63
three bedroom) ; and three convenience commercial sites. The develop-
ment would cover a total of approximately 221 acres, including
the green areas. The single family homesites included 370 lots of ap-
proximately 9,600 sq, ft. each, and 29 lots of approximately 12,000
sq* ft. each.
1dLr. Siske also said the property would have a total assessed
valuation of $17,590,000 with $30,000 homes on the smaller lots and
$50,000 homes on the larger lots. He said the development could
eventually have a population of 2,200 and that the project was
tentatively scheduled over a five year period.
In discussing the property, Mr. Clarage pointed out that the
$17,590,000 figure represented the market value and not assessed
valuation.Mr. Anderson read a portion of the minutes of a Yorkville-
Bristol Sanitary District meeting stating that the District had no
more hookups available at this time. Other board members questioned
the effect of the development on the Yorkville School District (with
an additional 553 grade school students and 150 high school students)
and the advisability of building the suggested $30,000 homes.
Mr. Siske said the plans were tentative and were being presented
so that the commission and Mr. Clarage could study them before any
action was taken. The plans were turned over to Mr. Clarage for study.

74.02 Edward Salisbury, petition to rezone
Mr. Salisbury and his attorney, Bill Murphy, presented a
petition to rezone :tots 1, 4 and 5 in Block 11 of the original
Village of Yorkville, presently zoned part residential and part
business, and Lot 7 in Block 5 of Mason's first addition to the
Village of Yorkville, to be rezoned Business District Use. This
would extend the business zoning west to the lot lines. This
petition did not include other property which Mr. Salisbury had
petitioned to rezone in March, 1973•
Mr. Salisbury plans to construct a new building for his
grocery business on this property. The new building would be
about twice the size of his present store, and would include only
a grocery business. He said he would tear down the present store
and a house to the west of it,which he also owns, on the same
property.
Mr. Olsen made a motion to recommend approval of the petition
to rezone, subject to the proposed new city Zoning Ordinance,
which would give the property a B-2 classification. This was
seconded by Mr. Dollman. Voting: Mr. Anderson yes, Mr. Olsen yes,
and Mr. Dollman yes.
