THE ROPPOLO COMPANY
Bill Roppolo of the Roppolo Company (the contract purchaser)
presented a concept plan for a proposed development on the east
side of Rt . 47 by Legion Rd. He proposes a mixture of townhouses,
duplexes, single fami'_,', a 9 hole public golf course and a banquet
facility. All lots will be fee simple . The golf course is
designed by the Killian Design Group. This project would be a
phased development . First phase would be across from Legion Rd.
and second phase would be beyond easement . Townhouses built first ,
next single family and then the golf course . Golf course built
last because of money-there are no utilities to site now. Bill
Roppolo stated that real estate is market driven, would be willing
to have ordinance for golf course when 80% properties sold-would
need time. The golf course is a separate business . Jeff Palmquist
stated that townhomes are not the City' s first choice, but if
closer linked to golf course could be more viable. The potential
banquet facility would be very desirable to Yorkville. They are
planning on the golf course as being no burden to the people living
there-would be a separate entity. Jim Nanninga questioned as to
whether the golf course would count as open space. They are
looking at approximate 8 units to Acre on multi-family and on
single family some lots about 9 ,000 sq. ft . Jeff Palmquist stated
that Council has looked down on lots less than 12,000 sq. ft .
Roppolo stated they are trying to work with the natural topography
as there are wetlands involved. Duplexes are 35 'x70 ' (approximately
1 ,550 sq. ft . ) with 2 car attached garage with or without
basements . Duplex lots will be 90 ft . x 100-110 ft , depending on
site location. Bill Roppolo stated he is not interested in business
zoning. This property would be subject to Land Cash Ordinance, but
golf course would not count toward this . J. T. Johnson stated that
City requires 1/3 up front, 1/3 in year and last 1/3 in two years
for Land Cash (which would be figured by price the assessor puts on
property) . Bill Roppolo will be starting some duplexes in Hanover
Park in 30 days . Bill Schmanski stated he in is 2 drainage areas,
a lift station will be required, but could also go up easement .
Must have line to lift station . Problem is crossing creek, can' t
by gravity go under creek. Cost of new line is approximately one
million dollars . Would need to know what percentage of cost is
his, now charging Country Hills $125 per P.E. Water is on Rt . 47 ,
can go to site, not loop right away. City will not be funding.
Also must have public roads . Jeff Palmquist stated sidewalks are
required. it was suggested that Com Ed r.o.w. be used for bike
paths and hook up to future trail system. Bill Roppolo would also
be looking for a liquor license. Wetlands need to be verified, may
have lakes for golf course irrigation. Also discussed was
elevations, garages, parking spaces, parking spaces at banquet
facilities, pro shop and possibility of a restaurant . Bill Roppolo
will bring updated plans to Planning Council on August 15 , 1995 .
Jeff Palmquist will make a report for next City Council meeting
regarding the golf course, densities, etc .
FOX HILL P .U.D. UNIT Iy, PODS 5C & 7
Mike Cap presented plans for Unit IV, Pods 5r_. & 7 . There are 86
lots, this unit has lots with largest lot size on the southwest
corner of site, is adjacent to the creek, can provide connection to
the south and is adjacent to' Unit 1 . They have tried to align the
rear and front yard setbacks with an existing AT&T easement . Next
to lots 146 & 147 , an area too small for r.o.w. will be part of
green way which would be a logical continuation of path system.
Cable is not in service, but there is a lead shield cable. Should
try pursuing abandoning this . Cable is not functioning, but
because of AT&T easement have made adjustment for storm water
detention. They are bringing a 15" sanitary sewer entire length of
John St . and it would provide sanitary capacity for the property to
the south. This may be a logical trunk sewer to serve property to
south. Bill Schmanski stated that s-rvice area must be defined,
must cross Blackberry Creek, start from river and go north or could
come from the south. Bill Schmanski will check on size of sewer on
whether it can be reduced to 10" . Mike Cap is proposing near Lot
174, a 10" sanitary sewer coming across, capping the stub, the stub
is ended and sewer is intended to receive discharge from sanitary
sewer lift station. No way to avoid lift station on Rob Roy Creek.
This sanitary sewer will flow by gravity and receive the discharge
from the lift station for Pods 10 & 11 . The 16" water main will
be extended to the southern boundary. Westward from John between
park and single family they are extending 16" main to Rob Roy
Creek. All will be parallel to AT&T easement . Ralph Pfister
questioned difference between 4" & 6" force main. If oversized do
not get much velocity and may not cleanse properly. Last length
of storm sewer will be flatten out as much as possible, using rip
rap for less erosion, Street lighting will be as pre-annexation
agreement requires . Bill Schmanski has sent letter to Mike Cap
with items he is requiring for these. Pods . The 16" water main goes
to eyebrow and comes back out . J.T. Johnson stated that City does
not want street named John St . or John Court . This street will be
named South John St . Break point is Evergreen Lane, everything to
the northeast will be John St . and everything to the south and
southwest will be South John St . Depth of binder was discussed.
Bill Schmanski made a motion to recommend approval of Unit 4-Pods
5C & 7 with minor platting revisions that were discussed,
contingent on final engineering approval . Seconded by Jeff
Palmquist and all present voting aye. Motion carried. The
question of berming along property line was discussed. Need to
check with Planning Commission on their recommendations for
screening. Pod 1 will be coming for approval shortly.
The Hamman and Undesser projects will not he discussed at this
meeting.
