PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Nancianne Jensen, the owner of the property next to the regional ball field on Galena Road and
Kennedy, came to discuss her property. She believes that she has been lied to. When she first
heard about the park to be built, she went to the initial Town Hall Meeting. She understood that
there would be several soccer fields and perhaps a ballpark. But instead of soccer fields,there
are lighted baseball diamonds. A lighted field extends the length of time her privacy will be
compromised from headlights of cars to cheering of fans. She was also told that nothing would
be built within twenty-five feet of her property. A road,however,was built within those twenty-
five feet.
The dust from building the park has compromised her son's and her health along with inundating
her house and her stored winter hay with dirt. The dust has caused coughing in her horses too.
Although she was assured that the construction crew would water before working to cut down on
the dust, with the drought this did not happen.
Her property has also been violated and trespassed on. The contractors accidentally assumed
that her fence line was her property line and mowed up to the fence line. But actually,her lot
line extends six feet past her fence. She intentionally had very tall vegetation around her
property for a buffer between the public and her horses, which the contractors removed.
The park is not even open yet and people are already parking their cars next to her fence and
beckoning her horses. Because of one of her horses' health, she monitors closely everything
they eat. An apple or carrot from a park visitor could be deadly for this horse.
Also, she can no longer freely and safely ride her horses. On one instance someone was flying a
remote controlled airplane over her property which frightened the horse. The cheering crowds
will have the same affect.
She has been awakened at night from cars and parties in which she believes timed entry gates
may solve this problem. She has been harassed by an individual who she believes is one of the
contractors. This individual has been watching her and knowing her routine. The police have
been notified of the instances. She is now afraid to go down to her barn in fear of this person and
lives in constant fear. She believes that all of these problems are a direct result of the park. She
believes that if Parks and Recreation is going to subject her to the public and all of its inherent
dangers,then they should also be willing to protect her. Parks and Recreation had rejected her
previous request to put up a stockade fence and she is asking them to reconsider to offer her
protection from the public. Bushes will not keep people from sneaking up on her from the park,
but instead provide hiding places for these types of people. The Jensens would like a 10-12 foot
stockade fence (not chain-link) on the park property from.Kennedy Road to Galena Road. If an
agreement cannot be made, she will obtain legal council on this matter.
Ken Koch indicated that technically, this park does not belong to Parks and Recreation. The
park does not get accepted and handed over to the City until all of the work is done by the
developer. It was recommended to have the police handle the harassment issue,which the
Jensens have. Besides the money, aesthetics was the issue why the fence was declined. The
Jensens' issue is for safety.
Scott Sleezer indicated that at the original Town Hall Meeting about the park,they were not
aware of the fact of the storm-water management. The land for the park had to be reduced to
allow for the storm-water management. Because of this loss of acreage the park needed to be
closer than the twenty-five feet from the property that was mentioned at the Town Hall Meeting
in order for the park to still work. But they made as large of a buffer as they could.
Scott Sleezer had also contacted the developer who contacted the contractor to replace the tall
grass that was cut in error. The contractor will contact the Jensens about what to put back there.
Scott Sleezer indicated that a gated entry would probably not solve their problem either because
people tend to just go around the gates. It is really more of an enforcement issue.
The developer would be the person to contact regarding the dust on their property and their
workers.
A decision regarding the fence could not be made this evening. The developer had offered to
cover the cost of the landscaping but have not officially agreed to it yet. The Board has input but
it requires additional discussion. They will take all of the Jensens comments under advisement.
Dave Mogle will contact the Jensens when a decision has been made.
PRESENTATION:
Kendall Marketplace
The Cannonball Ridge Park of the Kendall Marketplace that will be developed on Route 34 and
Cannonball Trail was changed to comply with the master plan for the park. The revised park is
4.4 acres and will not have storm water management nor retention area as originally planned.
The bike trail will be between the existing single family homes in Kylyns Ridge and the single
family homes of Kendall Marketplace. The thirty to forty foot wide land that Parks and
Recreation currently owns will be sufficient for the bike trail. Usually they like to have the trail
thirty-five feet off of the back of the houses but it probably won't be in this case. But this will be
a local trail,not a main trail and the tree line will be retained on the southern end of the trail to
make a nice buffer for the homeowners. Over time they can plant a tree line along the Kylyns
Ridge side of the trail too. Although there will not be off-street parking at this park,there is
street frontage on three sides of the park and because of its close proximity there may also be
parking available at the police station that will be built. They are estimating the mass earth
moving to begin in early September. Parks and Recreation will give Kendall Marketplace their
specifications for grading the park so that it will only have to be done once. The Board was
satisfied with the,changes.
Brighton Oaks 2
Patti Bernhard presented the concept plan of Brighton Oaks 2. It is a fairly small subdivision of
37.55 acres with 54 units off of Highpoint Road. This subdivision is the link to connect
Hallmark Homes with MPI with The Yorkshire. This will give the City trail linkage all the way
to Hoover Outdoor Education Center. The trail will be along the south side of the subdivision
and will lead into the Yorkwood Estates park site. It will also lead to the tentative school site.
Two-thirds of the development will be served within the half mile radius of the Yorkwood
Estates park site. It would,therefore,make sense to take all land cash for this development. The
trail will be in lieu of sidewalk. The land cash obligation is approximately 2 acres. This
subdivision is a very valuable link.
Westbury Village
Westbury Village will be tabled until July 13.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Van Truman had missed the discussion regarding the Greenbriar Pond Maintenance at the May
25, 2006 meeting but wanted to note that Parks and Recreation needs to communicate well in
advance the intentions in respect to the Greenbriar Pond so it is clear to people why it is the way
it is. The Fox Valley Park District is getting a lot of attention in the newspaper regarding a
similar situation and Van Truman wanted to make sure we avoid the same circumstance.
The minutes from the May 25, 2006 the Park and Recreation Board Meeting were approved on
motion by Gary Golinski and seconded by Van Truman. The motion was unanimously
approved.
BILLS REVIEW:
Cash Analysis & Bills List
There was a check to Schoppe Design Associates in the amount of$21,652.67. Although Laura
Haake,the park planner, is hired and has taken over a lot of the responsibilities that were
previously given to Schoppe Design, it is not physically possible for Laura to build and design
all of the parks. A consultant will still be needed, but Laura will save the City a lot of money
alone by doing the site evaluations. The City previously paid Schoppe Design a lot of money
just for brief evaluations,which can now be done by Laura.
Van Truman motioned to approve the bills list. The motion was seconded by Debbie Horaz.
Roll call vote: Ken Koch—Yes, Gary Golinski—Yes, Van Truman—Yes, and Debbie Horaz-
Yes. The motion was unanimously approved.
OLD BUSINESS:
Park/Public Works Administration & Operations Center
Update and Architectural Agreement
The discussion on the Park/Public Works Administration and Operations Center Architectural
Agreement was tabled.
Hoover Agreement=Reds Baseball Lease Agreement
Dave Mogle provided the Board with the schedule of the Yorkville Reds. He also found out
information regarding the insurance. The Yorkville Reds are insured and have named the Forest
Preserve District as additionally insured. The Forest Preserve District believes that a similar
arrangement has been made between the Reds and the Boy Scouts. Since the City does not have
a written executed lease with the Forest Preserve, it may not have any liability at this time and
may not need to be listed as an additionally insured. The main liability issues in regards to the
Reds seems to be with the Forest Preserve and the Boy Scouts. However,we do have an
intergovernmental agreement that talks about the intent of what will happen between the City
and the Forest Preserve once there is a signed lease,so Dave Mogle will check with our
insurance carrier and/or City attorney to see if the City has any exposure and should also be
named as additionally insured. The lease agreement will not go into effect until after the Boy
Scouts are done,which will be in December 2007. Everything in the intergovernmental
agreement is contingent on a signed lease with the Forest Preserve District. Ken Koch believes
that we should start working on this lease now, instead of waiting until 2007. Dave Mogle
agrees that the Forest Preserve District and Parks and Recreation should begin to meet now to
put together a framework. Some issues will need to be addressed. For example, Scott Sleezer
pointed out that if with the agreement the City would have to mow 80 acres of grass, it will take
sometime to gear up for taking this on. Dave Mogle will be meeting with Jason of the Forest
Preserve next Tuesday. Dave will report to the Board on what was discussed at the meeting.
Without rushing, it is important to get this in place relatively soon. Gary Golinski suggested
having the City Attorney involved very early in the process. There will be many things that will
need to be defined, such as will cutting the grass be considered as an improvement or as
maintenance. If people are going to be needed to take care of the land,then it will need to be in
the budget. Once the lease is enacted Parks and Recreation will need to get funding to do some
of the development which may take time. Meanwhile,there is a large grass area that will still be
able to be used for special events. Therefore, Parks and Recreation needs to be ready now to
start to put together a plan so that as soon as the agreement is signed events can be held out there.
They can do such events as music events, kite flying,hot air balloons, and historical reenactment
groups.
NEW BUSINESS:
BMX Track— Whispering Meadows Park
There are two options for the BMX Track in the Whispering Meadows Park. One option is to
have a full racing facility that would be a tournament grade facility sanctioned by the American
Bicycle Association. The second option would be to build the facility as a drop-in practice
facility. The staff is leaning towards option two because the park is in a residential area.
Tournaments would cause lots of traffic, including trailers for the bikes besides the large crowd
of spectators. There will also not be off-street parking for at least three years and with this type
of facility there would then also have to be a concession area, an area for vendors, and a building
to store equipment. When having an ABA track, a person needs to be an ABA member to use it
and there needs to be twenty races per year for five years to be sanctioned. The staff does not
feel Parks and Recreation is setup to do all of this and that it would upset the neighbors. If they
use it as a drop in track,then they can see what the interest is in the community and then could
duplicate the track in an area that is more appropriate for tournaments and large crowds. They.
could still be able to occasionally use the for local bike rallies and other programming through
Recreation, and it will still be built to ABA standards. They may need to have a group use
policy so people don't try to organize their own races. This facility will not be for motorized
vehicles and will need to be enforced.
Parks and Recreation would still like to nurture a relationship with the American Bicycle
Association because they can give Parks and Recreation pointers on maintenance. A tournament
style track could become a good revenue source,but it cannot be done adjacent to homes. A
larger community park site of seventy to 100 acres site could accommodate this kind of activity
and also have a pool, a band shell, a full basketball court, etc.,things that people do not like right
in their neighborhood.
REPORTS
Scott Sleezer supplied the quarterly Park Report. He indicated that the Walter Payton Run went
extremely well and will be scheduled for June 9, 2007 for next year. There were 220 runners.
There was a little confusion in the directions given by the Foundation corner workers between
the 8K and the 5K but this should be worked out for next year. The Yorkville Police
Department,the Citizens Police Academy, and Public Works all assisted in the run.
Gary Golinski indicated that there are some growths in the mulch at Rice Park. Scott Sleezer
indicated that this is a fungus and the conditions are right for this type of growth in mulch and
when they take it out it just comes right back. But it is harmless to pets and people.
The regional ball fields have had some fence people working there. The playground will be
going in and the concession stand is moving forward. Hopefully the fields will be able to be
used next spring.
r
Sunflower Park and Greenbriar Park have some bird nests in the shelter and on the equipment.
Scott Sleezer will have his people check them out. The Grand Reserve ballparks and the other
ballparks are looking great.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
Board Retreat Date Confirmation
The Board retreat will be for two nights on November 3 —4. Tammy Smock will not be able to
attend but she encouraged the Board to go ahead with that date. Dave Mogle will see if she can
make a part of the retreat but will supply her with all the information either way. Dave Mogle
would like to lock in these dates. He has talked to two potential facilitators and should make a
decision on this fairly soon. Sue Swithin is working on finding a facility for the meeting.
Park Board Meeting Minute Taker
There will be a new minute taker starting in August. She will come to one of the meeting in July
for training.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Yorkville Park Board
FROM: Dave Mogle, Director of Parks and Recreation
RE: Old Busin J'
DATE: July 13, 2006
RAINTREE A PLAYGROUND DESIGN PROPOSALS
Staff will be presenting proposed playground designs for the Raintree A park site. The
playground is two to five year old age appropriate. A dinosaur theme will be the focus for this
park. This park site is located adjacent to the clubhouse in Raintree Village. Staff recommends
the Park Board approve the design pending public input to be sought at a Town Meeting
RAINTREE B PARK DESIGN PLAN
Staff will be presenting a re-design of the Raintree B park site incorporating comments made by
the Park Board at a previous meeting. A castle theme will be the focus for this park. The tennis
courts were not able to fit adjacent to the stadium on school property, so the courts were put back
on the park site. A memo from the park designer and a new drawing are included in the board
packet. Staff recommends the Park board approve the design plan pending public input to be
sought at a Town Meeting.
RAINTREE TOWN MEETING
A town meeting has been planned at Raintree Village to seek public input on Raintree A and
Raintree B park site and playground. It will be held Monday, July 17,2006 at 6:30PM at the
clubhouse in Raintree Village. Park board members are encouraged to attend if possible.

Date: July 7,2006
To: Yorkville Park Board
From: Laura Haake, City Park Designer
Subject: Raintree Park Site B Re-design
A meeting was held on June 20th,2006 between the School District and the Parks
Department. Representatives from both included Dave Mogle, Scott Sleeaer,myself,
Brian DeBolt, and Seth Schoonover. The meeting was held to discuss the possibility of
moving the four tennis courts from the park site to the school site in order to provide
closer access from the parking lots.
The School District was receptive to the idea of moving the tennis courts to their
property,but asked that we check with their site engineer to determine whether or not the
school site could accommodate the courts.
I spoke with Andrew McCall,the school district's site engineer from Concept 3.After he
evaluated the site and the size of the area we would need to fit the four tennis courts,he
determined that there is not enough room to fit the tennis courts on the school site due to
the slope of the property and the necessary earthwork required.
The School District and the engineer are aware that we would like them to include a path
to connect their parking lot to the tennis courts, and therefore have shown a stub for this
on the park site design.
Due to the School District being unsure of the final use of the 10 acres located to the
south of the building,we have designated the open area on the park site as"Multipurpose
Open Space".Last communication with the School District indicated that they are going
to use those 10 acres to construct several full size soccer fields. In the"Multipurpose
Open Space"both a ballfield and a junior soccer field are shown to indicate possible
future sports use on the site.
If determined necessary,to provide more parking closer to the tennis courts, 11 spaces
(10 regular, 1 handicapped) are indicated in the southwest corner of the site,just west of
the well site. The driveway to the well site would be widened to create two 12 foot wide
lanes and used as the entrance drive to the parking area.
