Westbury Village/Ocean Atlantic Follow Up
Dave Mogle explained that this meeting is a follow up to the July 27`s park board meeting at which
representatives from Westbury/Ocean Atlantic agreed to return to a park board meeting to give them an
update on revisions to their plan that were based upon park board suggestions. This is being done as a
Special Meeting because the plan was scheduled to go back to City Council on August 22 and the park
board does not meet again until the 24t`. Mr.Mogle provided a handout that had been distributed by
Westbury reps to the City Council and a draft of the PUD Agreement.
Patrick Hughes,Vice President of Ocean Atlantic,who runs the Chicago Office made a presentation
explaining that the plan entails the area of expansion beyond the South and East Villages which have
already been approved. Mr.Hughes said he had reviewed staffs written comments and understands the
park board's concerns. However,he stated that Westbury was a different type of residential development
from most others and from their perspective should be looked at differently.
He explained that 66 total acres in land or cash are required to be given through the Land Cash Ordinance.
Of this amount,27 acres for public parks was being proposed,with another two to three acres in trail,
making a total public land area of 29 to 30 acres devoted to parks.Mr.Hughes further stated that the rest of
the open land was not developable land because it had been a quarry and a landfill. He went on to explain
how a golf course would be the only useful feature for this area. The golf course and related clubhouse
buildings would be the central recreational amenities for the development. Mr.Hughes further stated that
the golf course and clubhouse style is what people want in today's market space. This is a most desirable
direction because its what people want,and it commands a higher price which is better for the developer
and better for the City because of the increased tax base when it hits the tax rolls.
Mr.Hughes further explained that in order to be financially feasible the planned open space could not be
just for parks. The golf course is approximately 240 acres including lakes and another 15 to 17 acres will
be land for seven clubhouses. Mr.Hughes said eventually 9900 people will reside in the community. He
stated that because so much of the land is not good for building,they had to pursue a higher density on the
land that was suitable for building in order to generate enough revenue to pay for the land that can't be built
on and for the private amenities.
His view was that the City was benefiting greatly by all the recreational amenities that would be built
because the burden would not be on the City to provide them. His view was that though it was not typical
for the City to give credit for private recreation areas,it should be considered in this can because by
providing at their own expense several park areas for the residents,plus the golf course,in addition to the
30 acres of public park land,they were reducing the burden for the City to have to provide alternative
sources of recreation because it is being done in a private manner.
Mr.Hughes said they would be willing to create some initiatives in exchange for credit for a portion of the
golf course. He said that for at least the first five years,the course could remain a public fee course with
Yorkville residents receiving a discount. The course would be made available to High School students
indefinitely for golf team practice and meets. The City or Parks and Recreation Department could host 2 or
3 events per year. The golf course management would also establish a golf academy for kids to learn and
practice their golf skills.
Mr.Hughes concluded his presentation by saying that the golf course and clubhouses would be Westbury's
parks for its residents,which though developed privately,would be available for various lengths of times to
the community. The lakes would have to remain private. They would like to see the Com Ed easement
used as additional recreational land and would work with Com Ed at coming to an agreement. In return for
all of this they are wanting a small percentage of credit for the private recreation areas.
Chris Rollins pointed out that he did not see much change being made by Ocean Atlantic in what they were
offering and felt giving credit for private recreational amenities was going down a"slippery slope." Chris
questioned whether the Com Ed land use was possible and was not willing to give credit for land owned by
others. Dave Mogle clarified that Ocean Atlantic was no longer seeking credit for the easement. Chris also
sought clarification on the public potential for the lakes. Mr.Hughes stated you can't have boating or
fishing going on the lake right next to the golf course. Concerning the other lake,though it was considered,
Mr.Hughes's partners in the end were not willing to make that area public.
Mr.Hughes reiterated his position that the private amenities were reducing significantly the impact upon
the City's parks by providing much of the recreation for the development. Chris acknowledged an
understanding of this position,but responded that Parks and Rec recognizes how little soccer can be played
at a clubhouse or baseball on a golf course. Chris said we understand that there must be a balance and even
in communities where there are wonderful clubhouses,private pools,and facilities there is great pressure
on the City parks. A community of 10,000 residents will create tremendous pressure on the parks. Chris
further stated that is why there is a concern about what will be the opportunities for public use versus
private amenities such as a golf course and clubhouses,which residents may find useful but will not be the
"core"of their recreational experience. They will want areas for active recreational opportunities beyond
the golf course,clubhouses or a very small pool.
Offering no credit on the golf course is troubling according to Mr.Hughes. Chris and Ken Koch brought
up their concern that making the golf course public for just a short time and then going to a private,
member only operation was unfair to those who helped support the course when it was first built and
resources were limited. Chris asked rhetorically why would the City want to fund any amount for a course
that would only be public for a few years and then private,members only,for decades. He stated that
would not be a wise expenditure of public funds.
Mr.Hughes re-emphasized he was just asking for a portion of credit for the golf course and that the 240
acres of open space,though he wished it could be dedicated to parks could not be because of the nature of
this development. They would have to look at giving the City as much land as they feel they can and the
rest in cash. If that is the case he doesn't know how the project could sustain itself and the public uses of
the golf course that he had earlier described are no longer viable because he believes he could no longer
volunteer those uses. He suggested that not everyone wants to play baseball or soccer and the golf course
provides another recreational amenity. Generally the park board agreed with this,but it was brought out
that this need is already being met in the community. Mr.Hughes stated that this golf course was of a
championship caliber,unique from others in the community,and he was offering some public use for
partial credit to alleviate the burden of having to take on all the land in the development. He believes since
not everyone will want to play baseball,or soccer,etc.,but would rather come to the clubhouse or play
golf this will relieve some of the burden on City parks and believes he should get a percentage of credit for
that.
Dave Mogle brought out that the percentage being asked for credit for the golf course amounted to 24 acres
of land and at$80,000 per acre amounts to close to$2,000,000 which is a high price for the limited uses
being offered. Ken believes part of the issue is that the golf course offers a specific recreational activity.
Non golf recreational activities would not be allowed to occur there. Those types of recreational
opportunities are needed too,which is why we need generous park space
Mr.Hughes said that if the park board could give a little he could give a little. He felt he was doing this for
our residents. Chris responded rather it was for his customers and that he understood Mr.Hughes argument
but it was not a compelling one. If we do not have adequate land for public parks in the development we
will then need to have funds to purchase land to meet this need. Giving up funds for a private,commercial
venture when we have to be concerned for the recreational needs of the development's residents,not for
five years but for a lifetime,make us unwilling to give the developer a break in this area.
Ken Koch reminded everyone we did not give credit for any of the other developments' clubhouses,
that this could become an issue for these other developers.Mr.Hughes stated that all annexation
agreements are negotiated individually and this should not be an issue. He reemphasized that by having
Westbury residents recreating in the development's private facilitates would have to reduce the impact on
City
Dave believed that regardless of the amenities that the developer is building within the development,with a
development that size there would be a great impact on the public recreational facilities outside the
development,that the argument of the developer-built facilities reducing the impact on other City parks
and programs was exaggerated. Chris added that though there may be some impact,it would be minor
because not everyone would use the golf course or the swimming pools,both of which are seasonal.
Chris added that there are a great many other public recreational activities that will be wanted for the parks
in the development and that the park board needs to focus on what the recreational demands of the
development will be once it is built out and that the City Parks and Recreation has a fiduciary responsibility
to make certain we are meeting the broad recreational needs of the entire population and though we are
glad that the golf course and some of the other private amenities are going in,we cannot grant credit for
these private amenities. Rather,land cash that is received must go toward public park and recreational
purposes to meet the growing pressures that are certain to be there as the development builds out.
Mr.Hughes asked if there were any other questions and stated his appreciation that the park board came out
tonight to the meeting. He said that he sees it differently than the park board.He stated his disappointment
that there was not any common ground on the issue of credit for the private amenities and that it was
disappointing that the park board would not move much on this issue.
Gary Golinski responded that the developer was not offering much and contrasted the situation to the
Grande Reserve development in which no credit was given for the aquatic facilities and the City received
100%of land and cash and asked what are we getting for the residents of Yorkville.
Mr.Hughes responded that it should not be a question of what Yorkville residents are getting,believing in
the total scope of the project Yorkville residents were gaining much. He said he appreciated Chris's
comments which he thought were thoughtful and fair but could do without the other comments. He ended
by saying we have agreed to disagree. He thanked the park board for their time.
At this point,Mr.Hughes left the park board meeting. There was some follow up discussion that centered
around many of the points that were brought up in the presentation. Chris was surprised that the open
water recreation had been dropped for consideration. Dave said it was dropped by Westbury last week and
was mentioned in a meeting with the mayor. Ken said some of the points of our counter proposal were not
even addressed,like larger parks in the high density area. Gary expressed concern that we keep watch on
this issue and keep the lines of communication open with the City Council.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
O'Keefe Property, Water Park
The committee unanimously agreed that a water park for Yorkville was a great idea,and that the city
should not let this plan get away. Sue Swithin did raise some concerns about cost to the citizens as far as
making it affordable for people to go. It was suggested and agreed upon that it should be put in a contract
between the city and sponsors to give a discounts on passes to Yorkville residents and to provide some
kind of sponsorship program for residents of lower income brackets to receive passes.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm when Gary Golinski motioned to adjourn the meeting,the motion was
seconded by Van Truman. The motion was unanimously approved.

the agenda. He and others wanted to be present to hear information and answer any
questions. Westbury Development will present an updated plan. After the scheduled
presentation,the agenda will be moved related to these guests.
PRESENTATIONS•
Town homes of Windett Ridge
The Board Members were given the preliminary plan of the Townes at Windett Reserves.
The 3 acre parcel for a park is adjacent to and east of Route 47. The 85 acre Townes at
Windett Reserves will soon be requesting annexation. Vince Rosanova requested the
Board to discuss the land dedication or cash in lieu of contribution. Mike Schoppe
presented more details. In October 2005 the concept review was similar to the one now
presented. Townes at Windett Reserves consists of all town homes. The one park in this
development would be a 3 acre parcel that would be next to the school site. The
combined park and school site would be 21 acres. The Plan Commission meeting is
October l la'. Wiseman-Hughes would like the Parks and Recreation Board's input on
the preliminary plans and how it relates to the recreational improvements.
The main east/west road that borders the park and school site will connect to Penman
Road(north/south)which will be part of the Hudson's Lake project. The large open
space corridor starts at Windett Ridge (head waters of Aux Sable Creek) and continues
around some open space. In the master plan the trail is extended and divides the park/
school site,through the drainage corridor, and then to Aux Sable Creek.
Townes at Windett Reserves consists of 180 attached units and 10 detached units. Based
on current city calculations tables for park purposes only, 4.87 acres dedication will be
required. The population increase with this subdivision will grow to approximately 487
people. This will be a low density area of 2.16. Vince Rosanova believed that the Board
earlier had the intentions of 3 acres in land and the remaining 1.87 cash in lieu of land at
$80,000 per acre which would be approximately$150,000. The developer wants to work
with the Board in solidifying the location of the park.
Originally, Carrie Hansen at a previous meeting with staff proposed a 3 acre L-shaped
park parcel, but was clear that the Wiseman-Hughes plans were open to what Parks and
Recreation would like. The L-shaped parcel was not ideal. At a meeting also with Dr.
Engler, Mike Schoppe encouraged looking at the whole open site, including an adjacent 7
acre park site in Windett Ridge already dedicated to the City, in order to maximize the
layouts of the school and park sites. Dr. Engler was open to moving the trail adjacent to
the school site in a different way other than the original plan. Wiseman—Hughes is
willing to be flexible on the park placement.
The Board's input is encouraged for the trail connection extending through the
park/school open space. The Board should decide if the trail should be extended and if so
the size of the trail, easement specifications, and the credit given for part of that. There
has not been a conversation about trail in lieu of sidewalk along the east/west road north
of the park site. Parks and Recreation asked Heartland Crossing for a trail to Penman
And Aux Sable Creek.
Land cash credit will be given and/or land swapped to compensate for the north/south
road that bisects the original Windett Ridge park site.
Scott Sleezer wanted to note to the Board the drainage issues. A drainage swale,
currently showing in the plan, should not interfere with park space. There is a need for
water to drain through the open space somewhere with inlets. Within reason the water
path can be moved slightly to fit the school and park plans.
Carrie Hansen stated that the 21 acres (15 acres for school and park's 4.87 acres) can be a
combination of land and cash. She knows the Board would like up to a 3 acre park.
Scott Sleezer, Dave Mogle, Laura Haake, and Mike Schoppe can meet to further discuss
placement of the park. Scott Sleezer will research regarding the trail along the water. If
the trail is near the drainage swale of open space it would be about 1000 ft. long or 1400
feet if the trail is along the east/west road.
The Board is in favor of the given area of the school and park site. The Parks and
Recreation Staff, Dr. Engler, and Mike Schoppe will meet to discuss the trail linkage.
The placement of the specific school and park sites within the designated area should be
determined before the annexation agreement.
OLD BUSINESS:
Westbury Development
Greg Stevens presented information regarding some property Ocean Atlantic has
purchased or would like to—53 acres north of Galena Road. It is L-shaped and east of
the north/south ComEd easement. A sliver of ComEd easement borders the north section
of the piece. Beecher Road travels north/south from Westbury, crosses Galena, and the
alignment will go north through the development pods. A conceptual plan was shown for
a 29 acre park site within this area. Four baseball fields and parking were shown as
placeholders,in addition to other playing fields. The narrow top piece of the 29 acres
ranges in width from 265 —300 feet. Greg Stevens would like preliminary thoughts on
the plan. Westbury wants credit for the 29 acres at$80,000 per acre. The cost is about
$2.2 million. This would be in addition to the original stated park space.
Pat Hughes,representing Westbury, and Dave Mogle met. Staff then was debriefed and
concerns surfaced. The top narrow rectangle piece of property is 1000-1500 feet long
and at most 300 feet wide. A regulation soccer field is 320 feet,plus buffer zones which
include 75 feet on each side. With the current dimensions of the narrow strip,the soccer
fields pictured would have to be east/west and need to be north/south with the sun issues.
Unless ComEd could allow the usage of the easement, soccer fields would be impractical.
This area is difficult to access. It is adjacent to senior citizen housing that is age-
restricted. Trails by this development would most likely be denied. The Board would not
be interested in the narrow strip of land.
There is an 8.8 acre future park in White Pines to the northwest and two 5 acre that are
adjacent to each other northeast of Westbury. With this acreage, Staff questions if the
proposed 16 acre baseball complex area would be needed so close to the other parks and
worth the lost cash.
National park standards need to be met. Westbury is such a high density area including
3,000 units south of Galena Road. The presented area would encourage kids to cross
Galena Road, a natural barrier. This would be unsafe. The developments south of
Galena still need open space and that issue has not been addressed.
In an area south of the 16 acre proposed park, 30-35 homes will be built. This is about
131 people within 1.5 acres. The expansion of the 3 villages of middle, north, and west
would be 67 acres in land cash. The original proposed park space included 27-29 acres
and met only half the obligation. Again,the Board will not give credit for the golf course
and the lake.
Yorkville has lots of park space north of Westbury. The south side of Galena is in need
of parks. Greg Stevens will ask Ocean Atlantic if the 16 acre park space could be
swapped with the Single Family A area.
According to Greg Stevens,the original park sites proposed for the Westbury expansion
will remain. In lieu of increasing the acreage of those parks like the Board requested,this
additional land is proposed. The staff's concern is that too much land is not desired, if
not enough cash comes with it for park development . Dave Mogle and Scott Sleezer will
look at numbers and call Greg Stevens to meet again.
Youth Baseball Field Usage
The Parks and Recreation Board met on Monday, September 25th for a special meeting.
The Board's direction is to have facilities for everyone with the highest priority to YYBS
because of its agreement with the City. The Reds organization is also valued. Jason
Pettit, Director of Kendall County Forest Preserve District, and Dave Mogle spoke on the
phone and the Reds could use the Harris Forest Preserve Field, since it appears that the
YYBS are abandoning use of it. The Forest Preserve District, is open to working with the
Park Board concerning this.
The Regional Ball Diamonds will be reserved for the adult Yorkville Parks and
Recreation programs starting at 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Perhaps in the future
there may be some weekend tournaments too. Van Truman verified that YYBS has a few
tournaments on Saturday, but Sundays are open on the Grande Reserve Diamonds. That
could be an option for the Reds.
Steve Hanson from the Reds questioned why YYBS would not use Harris and the Reds
organization keep Hoover which is sentimental to them after a year of play and work on
the field. Sue Swithin answered that the intergovernmental agreement with YYBS and
the Forest Preserve with Hoover allows Parks and Recreation to put park funding into
Hoover. This is not true for Harris. Scott Sleezer looked at both Harris and Hoover
fields and thinks they are comparable and both require work. He said that Harris is a
county field, so the make up of the Reds' team players could represent kids in Yorkville
and among the county.
The fields that Parks and Recreation control that YYBS can use are Fox Hill,Beecher,
Van Emmon, and Hoover in the future. YYBS has separate agreements with the schools
and YYBS maintained those school fields.
Kim Hanson, involved with the Reds, feels YYBS over exaggerates the need for fields.
Last year the Reds asked for Parks and Recreation fields and were denied. The Reds had
an arrangement to use high school fields. Then YYBS pulled out their agreement with
the school district and the Reds were told the high school fields could not be used. As a
result of that, YYBS had use of all high school fields,both Circle Center fields,and all
Parks and Recreation fields. Seth Schoonover said YYBS did use 2 back high school
fields. For practice the field with no fence was used. The big tree field was used for
girls' transition softball. He stated with 60' bases, only young kids could use those fields.
During the summer,the boys' freshman field was used twice a week for practice for
YYBS. Three times a week the freshman summer league used that field as well.
Seth Schoonover hopes the middle school would have school ball and that the new school
would have an 80 foot baseball field. Maybe in the summer, other organizations could
get duel use of it.
The Reds would regret losing the field at Hoover. However,the Board is trying to
compromise with alternate options, so the Reds are not denied their field requests.
It takes $490,000 to light the 3 fields in Grand Reserve. A 4-5 baseball field complex is
envisioned at Hoover. After that construction, lighting those fields may be a phase 2
project. The staff's concern of building an additional baseball field at Hoover in the near
future is that it might only be temporary. Once Hoover is developed for City recreation,
the location of the fields might change.
Steve Hanson wondered if YYBS could start its season 1 week earlier and extend it 1
week later. These 2 extra weeks would open up 17 fields times 5 time slots. That would
be 85 time slots. If you add in 2 Saturdays, it could add close to 300 time slots. Without
Hoover,the Reds are asking for 8 time slots a week for 12 weeks which would add up to
96 requested time slots. The extra 2 weeks would give a bigger window for rain out
games.
The Board needs more time to make progress. YYBS gave the time slot schedule to the
Board. YYBS will have its schedule ready by March 1st.. A few big schedule changes
do happen from March through May.
Sue Swithin, addressing the Reds representatives, said that Parks and Recreation Staff
have the obligation to help the largest population of people. After that group, in this case
YYBS, is blocked in,then other groups have what remains. If YYBS did not have the
current program,Parks and Recreation would take up that responsibility. She would like
to see the Reds work with the school district as a feeder program when more fields are
available, similar to the youth football program. It is the Board's responsibility to work
with Seth Schoonover,the School Liaison, and utilize the fields as best as they can be.
Parks and Recreation has the responsibility to take care of the largest group and provide
facilities for the tax payers. The school district can help additional programs like the
Reds.
On the YYBS Field Requirement page, school fields were not listed. However, Seth
Schoonover met with YYBS and they plan to use some. YYBS offered to pay for a fence
on one of the fields. He hopes for 70-80 foot baseline transition fields at the new middle
school/park site.
The Board would like to schedule the Reds baseball teams. The Board members are
aware that the Reds are scheduling in good faith and want to accommodate both
organizations.
NEW BUSINESS:
Autumn Creek Park A Equipment Recommendation
The Parks and Recreation Board has a list of 6 playgroup manufacturers' proposals for
the transportation themed park at Autumn Creek. This park is near a school site. Laura
Haake and Staff recommend NuToys for the 5-12 year old play structure including loop,
circular play with upper body equipment. Two airplanes will be on top(steel or
aluminum)with a full pilot and driving panel.
From Zenon Company, a shelter looks like a filling station with a clock and gas pumps.
It could be called "Green Standard Filling Station",named after an original Yorkville
station. The shelter is 25 feet by 16 feet and fits two 8 foot picnic tables. Zenon would
provide some equipment for the 2-5 year old play structure such as a roadster, stairs,
slide, climber, and driving panel. The swings will be in their own area with 2 bays of belt
swings and 1 bay of tot swings (6 swings total).
Autumn Creek Park A will have working traffic signals, signage, and striping so it can be
used for Safety Town. A railroad crossing is 60-80 feet from the roadway. Another
sitting area without a shelter, but with trees and picnic tables will be used with the Safety
program too.
The developer is enthusiastic about the plans and will front fund the park. Laura Haake
will do the construction documents and the developer will build it according to the Parks
and Recreation specifications.
Other amenities of the park are a 10'-12' sledding hill and a mini skate park. The skate
park includes a table top (regular picnic table made for skating), a grind box, and
concrete stairs. Laura Haake and Scott Sleezer would like to start planting more native
trees to the area, but also unusual varieties such as Kentucky Coffee,Horse Chestnut,
Tulip, and Walnut trees. The diversity would help prevent disease infected trees.
Flowering trees will still be used too.
The budget is about$300,000 per annexation agreement. The developer will most likely
do some fine grading, earthwork, and seeding to help absorb some costs,possibly a
savings of$29,075. The savings would come to the Parks and Recreation in land cash
dollars.
This park will be near a new school site. After viewing and talking with the school about
their site, Parks and Recreation wants to compliment that area and plan different open
space activities
Van Truman motioned for the approval of the recommendation of play equipment from a
variety of manufacturers for the transportation theme park of Autumn Creek A for
$81,148.00. Debbie Horaz seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Ken Koch—Yes, Van
Truman–Yes, Gary Golinski—Yes, Debbie Horaz—Yes, and Seth Schoonover–Yes.

OLD BUSINESS:
Board Retreat Agenda and Update
Board Members discussed modifying the list of 14 possible agenda items to discuss
during the Board Retreat. "Special Recreation Association"can be discussed at a future
Board meeting. Research needs to be done to identify the number of special needs people
in the community and what are the special needs. Dave Mogle has the name of someone
to possibly contract out to do this research. Sue Swithin thought park and recreation
land,park amenities, facilities, and programs should be counted and then the Board
would discuss how they fit with the national standards. This would lead into the short
term goals(1-3 years) and long term goals (4-10).
Retreat discussions will allow the Board to compile questions to ask the community for
the future survey. Sue Swithin will try to look at the last community survey and
summarize what was or will be accomplished soon for the community and what is still
lacking. This should be discussed near the end of the retreat.
Preparing to talk about the Comprehensive Plan,updated demographics should be known
through census data. City growth will relate to almost all agenda items. Debbie Horaz
stated that many of the recreation programs are sport related. Perhaps the cultural
programs can be expanded like art,music, and nature classes.
Future staffing was mentioned and the possibility of a marketing person, a certified
arborist, additional park planning staff, and facility maintenance staff may be proposed.
The Board Retreat agenda items were limited to the following: 1) Comprehensive Plan,
2)Recreation Programs and Facilities (including Hoover utilization and park/school
relationships), 3)Future staffing/organizational structure (city growth impact), 4) Short/
long term goals, 5) Community survey(city growth impact), 6)Revenue enhancement,
and 7)Land Acquisition Plan.
The Friday opening session of the retreat will include working on a vision statement .
On October 3rd, Dave Mogle, Sue Swithin, Scott Sleezer, and Facilitator Laurie Gibson
will meet about the retreat and discuss the agenda items.
Hoover Conceptual Plan Review
Dave Mogle and Jason Pettit met last week to revisit the original Hoover Conceptual Plan
that was completed a couple of years ago. The Board was asked to consider possible
adjustments to areas of the originally proposed Hoover plan or new ideas. For example, a
family aquatic center was included originally,but Yorkville will gain a private water park
in the near future,thus possibly making a public aquatic facility less of a priority.
Winter recreation activities included as ideas were cross country skiing with well
groomed trails, a refrigerated outdoor ice skating rink,and sledding hills. Other ideas
were additional picnic areas, a maintenance facility built to care for the 60-80 acres,
BMX tournament style track, and a butterfly museum. Still other proposed options were
a rustic-looking recreation center for classes and might include a gym, a big skate park, a
large playground with more than usual elements with interactive features including the 5
senses, full outdoor basketball courts, a ropes course, and an amphitheater. Parks and
Recreation Board and Staff will update and revise plans for Hoover in the future.
REPORTS
No reports given for Parks and Recreation.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
NRPA Conference Attendance
Dave Mogle will attend the National Park and Recreation Association Annual
Conference in Seattle and will miss the Board's next meeting. He shared his itinerary that
includes a session on dog parks.
Fox Highlands
The homeowners of Fox Highlands (adjacent to Raintree) want to give Parks and
Recreation 3 parcels of park land. Dave Mogle and Scott Sleezer visited the areas. One
area is just too small. A second area is larger,but it has no neighborhood access and is
along busy Route 71. The third area is less than'/4 of an acre that borders Route 71 and is
between two multiple family housing units. There is already park land in Raintree which
is only a couple blocks away and a 1-2 acre wooded site in Windstone near by. Dave
Mogle will write a letter to say the Board is not interested in the parcels of Fox
Highlands.
YMCA
The north branch of the YMCA approached the city and would like to partner with
Yorkville and its parks and recreation department to build a swimming facility. The
facility will be across the street from the Regional Ball Diamonds. The YMCA invited
Dave Mogle and a park board member to sit on an Ad Hoc committee to discuss this
proposal during lunch. Councilman, Jason Leslie would sit on the committee as well.
Debbie Horaz volunteered for that meeting. Swimming is not offered through Parks and
Recreation or the School District.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting adjourned to Executive Session at 9:52 p.m. following the motion by Debbie
Horaz and seconded by Van Truman. The motion was unanimously approved.
The meeting reconvened from Executive Session and adjourned at 9:59 p.m. following
motion by Debbie Horaz and seconded by Gary Golinski. The motion was unanimously
approved.
