MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE YORKVILLE PLAN COMMISSION 24 OCTOBER, 1974
}
Chairman Leo Anderson called the meeting to order. Those in attendance were
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Feltz, Mr. Dollman and Mr. Mahoney. Mr. Mahoney moved to
approve the minutes of the September meeting and was seconded by Mr. Feltz.
All voting aye. Motion carried.
10.01 Illinois Route #47 By Pass Study
Mr. Anderson stated he had received a copy of a letter which had been sent
to the Illinois Transportation Department by Clarage and Associates. The letter
requested a review by the state of the city's plan for the proposed by-pass.
It was decided that the planning commission would wait for the state's response
to give us direction for further study.
10.02 U. S. Route #34 Corridor Study !
!i
Mr. Dollman, Mr. Feltz and Mr. Olsen attended a meeting at the Courthouse 4
Annex with representatives from the other cities involved in the project.
Mr. Dollman stated he felt that most of those present at the meeting were in
favor of some kind of comprehensive plan to govern the development of Rte. #34
between Montgomery and Sandwich. He questioned the expenditure involved,
however, as each city already has a plan which extends to one and one half miles
from the city limits. He felt if there would be communication between the
cities, the plan could be implemented with no large expenditure. Mr. Feltz
stated we should continue to cooperate with the other communities but that
perhaps each city could do a portion of the planning at a lower cost.
Mr. Mahoney suggested that as Clarage and Associates represents the cities
of Plano and Yorkville and William Lawrence and Associates represents Oswego,
Montgomery and Kendall County, each could submit bids for the study.
A letter giving recommendations to the city council was then dictated and ,
is attached to these minutes.
10.03 Gabel and Pottinger, Petitioners. A Revised Plan for an Apartment Building
on West Hydraulic- Avenue, Yorkville, Illinois
Glen Gabel presented a revised plan to the commission regarding his
proposed apartment and business building on Hydraulic Avenue. He wants to
retain the B-3 zoning but with a variance to allow the building to have the

same setback from the street as the existing building. !.
The plan shows twenty-one parking spaces which is the minimum number for
a building of this size. The surface of the driveway was not labelled, but
Mr. Gabel stated it would be asphalt. Mr. Mahoney felt there should be
green area provided not only in front of the proposed building but also in
front of the existing structure which presently has an asphalt surface and is
used for parking. He also questioned the placement of garbage and stated
it should be placed to the rear of the buildings. '1
Mr. Dollman moved to leave the B-3 zoning but with an exception to the
variance to allow for a matching permanent set back with the existing
building. Plans should indicate asphalt drive and parking, and green area
at the front of both buildings, and the garbage is to be placed at the rear.
Seconded by Mr. Feltz. All present voting aye. Motion carried.
Mr. Dollman moved that the meeting be adjourned. Seconded by Mr. Feltz.
All Voting aye. Motion carried. Muting adjourned.
