All voting aye. Motion carried. 8.01 Brian Mulhern._ Developer, Countryside Center PUD Mr. Mulhern was present with his attorney, Max Peterson. He was to present the commission with an overall landscaping plan. Mr. Mulhern presented a plan which differed from his earlier plan in that some buildings were relocated or turned around, and some parking areas were modified. He told the commission he wanted to turn some of the buildings to eliminate some brick work on parts of them. The new plan also showed a driveway entrance onto Kendall Drive within 50 feet of Mulhern Court, the main street of the development. Mr. Bartell objected tothis. The trees shown on the new plan did not meet the minimum diameter of two to three inches specified by the commission in July. Mr. Peterson reported to the commission that he had learned that the trees planted along the eastern edge of the property, along Rt. 47, - would be transplanted to other places at Countryside Center, with the exception of one row. Mr. Mahoney pointed out that the tot lot shown on the original plan was eliminated in the new one. He also said that while the commission felt only minor work was needed on the original plan, the commission would need time to study the substantial changes in the new plan. Mr. Dollman made a motion to table the plan to the next meeting to allow time for Mr. Bartell to study it, seconded by Mr. Langland. i All voting aye. Motinn carried. 8.02 First Kendall Company—Wildwood Development Present representing the First Kendall Company were Attorneys Cal Thelin and David Dyer and Planner Dale Siska. Mr. Thelin presented changes made in the plan,at the suggestion of the commission and Mr. Clarage at the July meeting. The plan now shows the uses and location of the M-1 zoning and B-2 zoning in the development. The revision also limited the number of duplexes to 20 lots. A separate drawing of the school site was presented which showed the possible location of the school building. Four single family home lots were eliminated to bring the school site to a total I acreage of 13.6. I A Mr. Thelin ;suggested that the open space in the development be maintained by a Homeowners Association. Money would then be set aside by the developers for recreational facilities to be decided on by the residents. He su&gested that about $100,000 or $200 per single family home, $150 per duplex and $130 per multi—family unit be set aside. The commission suggested the addition to the plan of an ease- ment to allow an `extension of a frontage road along Rt. 47. Such a frontage road already exists in the Fox Industrial Park to the north. Dallas Ingemunson, representing the Yorkville—Bristol Sanitary District, appeared before the commission. He expressed concern over the 7 ability of the district to handle the sewer needs of Wildwood. He said the district, even with expansion underway, could not project when they would be able to service Wildwood. Mr. Ingemunson said that other developments, notably Williamsport and Kendallwood, had already applied for hookups to the district. Mr. Thelin pointed out that he and Mr. Ingemunson had discussed the possibility of the First Kendall Company paying for part of the necessary sewer plant expansion, but Mr. Ingemunson said other developers have also offered to pay, before First Kendall. Mr. Ingemunson said that, while the EPA may approve a private sewer system,the Yorkville—Bristol Sanitary District would rather not ` have a private system in the middle of their district. Mr. Dyer said the developers realized they could not get a building permit and development could not take place at all until the sewer hookups were available. George Bell of the Kendall County Building and Zoning office spoke to the commission about the possibility that By—Pass Route 47 would cut through Wildwood from north to south. The Yorkville Comprehensive Plan shows the By—Pass rejoining Rt. L7 north of Wildwood, but the county plan show the prpposed road cutting through Wildwood. Mr. Anderson said he would like to see Wildwood annexed as a Planned Unit Development. PIr. Direr expressed concern because the First Kendall Company would not be building the homes, and a PUD would require architectural drawings. Mr. Bartell said this requirement could be waived. 4. Mr. Mahoney moved that the plan be recommended for approval with the following notations to the Yorkville City Council for their consideration: 1. there are serious problems with sewer and water. 2. a consideration should be made of the possible route of By—Pass 47. 3. maps with the plan should show the present R-3 zoning as B-2. 4. the three remaining single family lots near the school site should be eliminated and the acreage added to the school site. 5• a provision for a frontage road in the industrial site should be made. r This was seconded by Mr. Olsen. Voting: Mr. Anderson yes, Mr. Langland no, Mr. Feltz yes, Mr. Mahoney yes, Mr. Olsen yes, and Mr. Dollman yes. Motion carried. i 8.03 Review and resolve letter from CM & T Consulting Engineers _t. Mr. Bob Anderson explained that the city is applying for two grants to complete projects in town. Both grants applications need the approval of the Planning Commission. The first grant, from the Environmental Protection Agency, would provide 90 per cent of the funding for storm sewer repair along Main Street. A second grant, from the Farmers Home Adminstration, would provide 75 per cent of the funds for sewer work on the north side of town, a new well and a second river—crossing pipe. + Mr. Mahoney moved that the matter be referred back to the City Council with approval, seconded by Mr. Olsen. All voting aye. Motion carried. Mr. Anderson called for a special meeting of the commission on Sept: 10 to consider items 8.01 and 8.05 on the agenda.
