Plan Council Minutes 1996 04-16-96 CITY OF YORKVILLE PLANNING COUNCIL.MINUTES TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1996, 9:30 AM CITY CONFERENCE ROOM 111 W. FOX Those present from Planning Council were Jim Nanninga, Bill Schmanski, Bill Dettmer, Tony Graff, Emo Furfori, Ralph Pfister, Tim Fairfield and Sue Swithin. Please see attached list for guests. Jim Nanninga stated that there would be a few changes in how Planning Council operates. Zoning will now go to Plan Commission first and then return to Planning Council. Staff will meet to go over land use changes. BUTTON FACTORY Darren Sloniger from the Development Company presented to Planning Council the concept plan for the Button Factory property and also the Robb Container property. The Robb Container property is currently zoned M1. The property is already zoned (PUD, 7 units per acre) for the lofts that Mr.Sloniger wants to put in. He also wants to add a 7 unit townhome to the west of the old factory and a 8 unit town home unit to the east. These townhomes would be owner occupied. The Robb Container property, if Mr. Sloniger purchases it, would become a 3 story 72 unit Sr. housing building. Bill Schmanski asked Mr. Sloniger to please be looking into the sewer and water to that property. Bill said that most of this had been worked out with the previous interested buyer. Darren said he would get his engineers involved. He does want to keep the old factory as original looking on the outside as possible (a historical restoration). Jim Nanninga asked if Darren had thought about any direct connection with the Riverfront Park being built. Darren stated that his landscaping plan would work closely with that. Jim Nanninga asked how the Planning Council felt about this concept. Jim feels like it is a great idea, but wants to make sure that the townhomes are upscale. J.T. Johnson stated that he likes the idea. Ralph Pfister stated that he always likes to see re-use of property but that to many units were being but put in the space available. Jim asked Mr. Sloniger to proceed ahead to Plan Commission on May 8, 1996.

She was expecting Mr. Ron Wehrli and Attorney Dan Kramer also but they did not show. Jim Nanninga stated that he felt like the Park issue for Greenbriar Phase 1 was still an issue with the Park Board. It will have to be settled before Phase 2 can proceed. Discussion followed on the placement for the park. Laura stated that she thought Ron and Dan had settled that Jim will talk to Dan about it. Bill Schmanski asked Laura to get him the engineering plans on this phase. Phase 1 will also need to replatted if land is donated to the parks. Bill also asked for a letter of credit. J.T. Johnson stated that the pond maintenance will have to be designated a SSA if it is going to be given to the home owners. Jim Nanninga asked Laura to return in May 7 with the following: 1. SSA for maintenance of detention area. 2. Re-platting of Unit 2/Phase 2. 3. Maintain same storm water volume as originally approved. WHITE OAK ESTATES PHASE 2 Laura Little also represented Crestview on this subdivision. J.T. Johnson stated that Ron Wehrli has a list of things that need to be done on Phase 1 before he has approval for Phase 2. J.T. Johnson stated that Ron Wehrli has a list of items for White Oak, Phase 1, that need to be finished before he can proceed with Phase 2. The storm sewer is definitely on the list. J.T. will draft another letter to Ron. Jim Nanninga asked Bill Schmanski if he had seen the final engineering plans on the roads going in now in Phase 2. Bill said no he had not seen the final platt. J.T. Johnson asked if they had addressed the park issue for this new unit. Tony Graff asked for a community park not a tot park. Laura was asked to please talk to the Park Board, check the list for unit land then return to Page 3 Planning Council Minutes April 16, 1996 Planning Council May 7. Jim will talk to Dan Kramer on how we legally stand on approval on the platt. HUFF REZONING Sue Bullock from ReMax Select Realty presented to Planning Council the proposed rezoning of the property located at 716 N. Bridge currently owned by Marie Huff. Dr. Bob Brenart is interested in purchasing this property to expand his business (Brenart Eye Care) if the property can be rezoned for his office use. The property is currently zoned R-2 and they would like to rezone to B-1. Jim Nanninga asked why not zone to office. Sue stated that they could go that way also. Emo Furfori (The Lannert Group) stated that in the zoning book it is listed in both categories, B-1 and office. Jim stated that the zoning issue would be left up to Plan Commisssion. Bill Schmanski asked how they would handle the parking. Sue said they would tie in with Dr. Brenart's existing parking and also have additional parking in the back of the property. Discussion followed on the easiest access to the building since Dr. Brenarts existing access is located on the curve on Rt. 47 and is very busy. Jim Nanninga felt like there should not be a problem as long as the access is intertwined with the existing access to Brenart Eye Care. Tony Graff suggested a special use since this is a land usage change. Jim Nanninga asked Sue Bullock to return to Planning Council May 7 with the following: 1. A plan that shows expanded parking. 2. Parking for the other building(show parking space for every 300 feet) 3. An overall parking plan that shows how it relates to Dr. Brenarts current plan, blown up to 50 scale. 4. Please call IDOT for their traffic opinion.
