FOX ST . , YORKVILLE Present were Jim Nanninga, Becky Johnson, Ralph Pfister, J. T. Johnson, Jeff Palmquist , Bill Dettmer, Bill Schmanski, Bill Roppolo and Michael Cap. Tony Graff arrived at 11 : 15 AM. Jim Nanninga stated that Bill Roppolo would be charged for the time of Jeff Palmquist and Bill Schmanski . 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.
