Minutes The minutes of the October 14, 2003 were approved on a motion by Mike Skinner and second by Ryan Woods. Motion passed. Public Hearings The first case was introduced, after which the guests, Peter LoDestro and Jay Stockbridge-Architect, were sworn in by Bill Davis. Public Hearing ZBA2003-26: Mr. LoDestro requested a variance on the sign ordinance so construction on his sign could be completed. The sign is located on Bridge Street and is constructed of brick and stone. Mr. LoDestro displayed a drawing of the ground sign. His request is for a variation of the height. Mike Skinner questioned why the sign is higher. Mr. LoDestro replied that he anticipates 3 or 4 more tenants and wanted the lettering larger. Ralph Pfister asked what the height is. The height is 7'8"on the pillars and the actual sign height is 7' off the ground Ryan Woods asked if the petitioner knew of the ordinance. According to Mr. LoDestro, there was a miscommunication with the bricklayer. Both the pillars and the sign are too high. Mr. LoDestro explained that the sign face is 6' high and 8' long and is 1-2' off the ground. Mr. Woods inquired as to making the sign skinnier for each potential name and shorten the overall height of the sign. The '/"aluminum sign panel is already constructed and being stored in his garage per Mr. LoDestro. He also noted that I-DOT will be raising the road and the sign would be on the ground if it is lowered. He stated that the bolts and pillars are already in place. Mr. Woods asked what the height of each name would be, which is 12". The sign is 35' off the road. Mike Skinner suggested making the letters in the name smaller. The sign is currently lit by a spotlight on a timer and is vinyl coated with reflective lettering. Page 2 of 4 The discussion was then ended. Bill Davis moved to close the public hearing ZBA2003- 26 which Dean Bromann seconded. Mr. Davis then opened private discussion of ZBA2003-26. Ms. Kurtzman explained the order of the hearing. Bill Davis moved to open private discussion and Ryan Woods seconded. Mr. Skinner noted that Mr. LoDestro wouldn't want the letters any smaller. The petitioner is asking for a 1-1/2' variance. At this point, Ms. Kurtzman stated that the board is a recommending body only and will send the recommendation to the City Council for a final decision. After a brief discussion among board members, Mr. Woods asked if the board would be setting a precedent if they recommended approval of the variance. Mr. Skinner replied that any decision on this case would not affect any other future variance requests. The board then reviewed the 6 standards which need to be applied to each variance request. Co-Chair Davis paraphrased each: 1. Any unique physical property of land involved... (Yes) 2. Available location of signing on property... (No) 3. Effect of proposed sign on pedestrian and motor traffic... (Yes) 4. Granting of variation will not be detrimental... (No,not applicable) 5. Increase congestion to public streets or a danger... (Not applicable) 6. General intent of this chapter... (No) Ralph Pfister moved and Mike Skinner seconded to approve variance so that sign construction could be completed. A roll call vote was taken and approved 5-0. This recommendation will be presented at the City Council meeting January 27th at 7pm. A motion was then made and seconded by Ryan Woods and Bill Davis to close public hearing ZBA2003-26. Motion passed unanimously. Public Hearing ZBA2003-27: Public Hearing ZBA2003-27 was opened. Jay Stockbridge/Stockbridge Architects explained the variance request was for 419 Park Street which is an existing single family home. The variance request is for the rear and side yard setbacks. The current owner, Mr. Schipper, had an accident which rendered him paralyzed from the waist down and is confined to a wheelchair. He wishes to construct a new master suite/bathroom off the rear of the home. The proper papers and affidavits were filed and 196 letters were sent to surrounding homeowners notifying them of the variance request. Ms. Kurtzman has the affidavit. Page 3 of 4 Mr. Stockbridge stated that it was discovered that not only was a variance needed for the side and rear,but that the entire structure was over every setback. After discussion with staff, it was decided to include 4 variance requests to bring the house into conforming use. This request includes 2 for the proposed addition and 2 for the front and corner sides to fully comply. The specific ordinances on which variances were requested are: 1. 10-6B-4A: front yard from 30 to 40.8 feet to the front of the garage(it was noted that after it was constructed, the zoning was changed and all other houses in the area are over the setbacks as well) 2. 10-6B-4B: reduce interior side yard from 15 to 10.35', directly a result of proposal to construct addition straight back from current structure 3. 10-6B-4B: corner side yard from 40 to 30.2' to the garage 4. 10-6B-4C: rear yard from 50 to 38.5' where the existing sunroom will be replaced with the proposed addition and won't protrude even as far as the sunroom. The following summary was then made by Mr. Stockbridge. The variance: 1. Will not affect air movement between homes 2. Does not create public nuisance 3. Won't diminish property values 4. Won't result in public expenditures The age of the home is approximately 10 years old,having been built in 1994. Ms. Kurtzman noted that she did research on the home and found there was an amendment to the ordinance regarding setbacks, after the building permit was already issued. Mr. Skinner asked if the Schippers were the original owners. They are not,but they plan to stay in the community. All the remodeling work is being done due to the disability of Mr. Schipper. The concrete patio in back will be raised to facilitate a smooth transition and the entire addition will be flush with the patio. Mr. Stockbridge displayed a drawing to the board at this time. To complete the work,there will be a new bedroom with an accessible bath. Mr. Stockbridge asked the board to grant 3 of the 4 variances. However, Mr. Skinner pointed out that this is only an advisory board and approval cannot be granted at this level. More discussion then followed. These facts were stated regarding the home—the existing porch is a screened-in porch 38.5' from the property line, there is a poured concrete foundation which will be raised and it is a ranch home. Mr. Skinner moved and Mr. Bromann seconded to close the public hearing. All were in favor, motion passed. A motion was then made by Mr. Woods to open private discussion,with a second by Mr. Skinner. Passed. Page 4 of 4 It was noted by Mr. Skinner, that as a builder of handicapped housing, location is very important to the handicapped individual--there is a sense of"their home". He further stated that the board should look at the individual situation,not the variance so much, and that this request is appropriate for the location of the home. Mr. Pfister added that the neighbors do not object either. Mr. Bromann said his only concern was with the pitch line of the home and would it set a precedent. Ms. Kurtzman reiterated that this is where the"standard tests"come into play. There was some further discussion of the current zoning. Mr. Davis then read the standards for recommending variances: (paraphrased below) 1. Are physical surroundings a hardship to the owner? (Yes) 2. Conditions of the petition are unique to that property. (Yes) 3. Alleged difficulty caused by Title,not created by person. (Yes) 4. Granting of variance will to detrimental to public welfare. (Yes) 5. Impair light/air, cause congestion etc. (No) Chairperson Davis asked if there was a motion to recommend granting the variance. Mr. Skinner clarified that the board could only vote on 3 of the requests and make a recommendation on one. He further stated they could vote on the front yard, side yard and rear yard setbacks and only recommend on the interior yard setback Skinner then moved to recommend approval of ZBA2003-27 Schipper,requests number 1, 3 and 4. Mr. Pfister seconded the motion. A roll call vote passed the motion. Mike Skinner then moved to recommend to the City Council, the granting of the 2nd request on the variance. Mr. Woods seconded that motion and a roll call vote approved to carry motion. These recommendations will be sent to the January 27 City Council meeting. At 8:10pm Mr. Stockbridge left the meeting. Additional Business Skinner and Bromann requested new zoning ordinance books which Ms. Kurtzman will provide. Mr. Bromann stated that it would be in the City's best interest to study the RI vs. R2 zoning and then made a motion that the City Council should review the Prairie Park subdivision and seek legal counsel to zone R1 or R2. Mr. Woods seconded that motion and all were in favor in a roll call vote. Motion passed. Mr. Davis asked Ms. Kurtzman if quadrants could be placed on petitions for a better understanding of the location of such petitions. The Clerk's office will be asked to include drawings in future petitions. As there was no additional business, Pfister moved to adjourn with a second by Woods. Passed, meeting adjourned at 8:15pm.

Roll call was taken and a quorum was established. Previous Meeting Minutes June 6.2005 The minutes were approved on a motion by Ryan Woods and a second by Harold Feltz. Motion carried unanimously. Public Hearine• A motion was made by Harold Feltz and Dean Bromann to enter into Public Hearing. Motion carried. ZBA 2005-41 was opened with Albert and Kimberly Kolkmeyer,petitioners, in attendance to present their request for variances. They currently own a home at 507 W. Ridge Street,built in 1901 and it is known as the Silver Key Bed and Breakfast. The Kolkmeyers requested variances as follows: 1. Reduce their rear yard setback by 23 feet, from 40 feet to 17 feet(Section 10-6C- 4C). 2. They also wish to reduce the front yard setback by 12 feet, from 30 feet to 18 feet (Section 10-6C-4A). Page 2 of 3 Mr. and Mrs. Kolkmeyer wish to construct a 10 x 36' addition on the west side of their home that sits on a double lot. Their home is currently 17 feet from the property line and the other houses on the block are the same distance. The new addition would be in the setback area. The homeowners want to maintain the historic integrity of this house in this process. There was no further discussion so a motion was made by Mike Skinner and seconded by Dean Bromann to close the Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously. New Business: The committee then discussed ZBA 2005-41 and Mr. Skinner said that he had spoken with neighbors in that area and there was no objection from them regarding the variance. He added that the work the Kolkmeyers intended to do would exceed any improvements done there before and that many of the homes in the area were not in compliance with current setback requirements. He said there was no reason to deny their request. A motion to approve the variances was made by Mike Skinner and seconded by Ryan Woods. Ms. Kurtzman then reviewed the"Standards of Granting a Variance"with the committee. The motion was then approved with a roll call vote and a recommendation was made to approve the petitioners' request. Since the variances represent more than 57.5% and 40% change to the ordinances, respectively,this request must move to City Council for final approval. This petition will be placed on the C.O.W. agenda for October 4th Even though the petitioners (Autoserve Jiffy Lube) for the second variance request were not present, Ms. Kurtzman stated that the Public Hearing should be opened. Harold Feltz and Ben Moe moved and seconded to open ZBA 2005-42. Ms. Kurtzman said the Public Hearing should remain open,because if it were closed,the petitioners would not be able to reapply until after one year. She recommended it be opened and then continued. The next meeting of ZBA is scheduled for October 17th and this request could be continued until then or a different date could be scheduled. She added that a further action could be to deny the request. Chairman Davis said the hearing could be continued if they have the necessary documents by October 17`t'. He requested photos and dimensions of the signs as well as wording of the signs. The petitioner is asking for four signs along Rt. 47. Mr. Skinner asked for the location and height of the signs in comparison to the building. Mr. Davis stated that if there are eight signs to be placed,he would like to see the other signs. Page 3 of 3 A motion was made by Mike Skinner to continue ZBA 2005-42 to October 17''. Harold Feltz seconded. Before the vote was taken, Mr. Moe asked for a clarification from the petitioner on the number of signs and the hardship of not granting such a request. A roll call vote was then taken and the motion was carried to continue this matter. Ms. Kurtzman will write a letter to the petitioner to try and resolve all questions before the October hearing. Additional Business: There was no further business so a motion was made and seconded by Dean Bromann and Ryan Woods respectively, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:30pm.

Public Hearine• A motion was made and seconded by Ryan Woods and Dean Bromann respectively,to enter into Public Hearing ZBA 2005-48. Carried unanimously. Petitioners John Fichtel and Jennette Welter-Fichtel filed an application seeking a variance to the Zoning Ordinance Section 10-6C-4C Rear Yard Areas that would reduce the rear yard setback by five feet, from 40 feet to 35 feet. The property is located at 508 Buckthorn Court,Yorkville. Chairman Davis briefly summarized the variance before the board and asked Mr. Fichtel to explain his request. Mr. Fichtel said that he presently has a deck on his house, 18 feet by 22 feet. He wishes to remove 6 feet from his deck and build on a sunroom/four seasons room. His deck is oriented towards the south/southwest side of the home and he is not able to use it as much as desired in the summer because of the heat. He wishes to make this area more useful. Page 2 of 2 Chairman Davis explained to Mr. Fichtel that the Board would then go into private session for the purpose of making their decision and invited him to remain at the meeting. A motion was then made by Harold Feltz and seconded by Ben Moe to close the Public Hearing. Motion carried unanimously. New Business: Chairman Davis asked for a motion to enter into New Business. It was moved and seconded by Ryan Woods and Harold Feltz to enter into New Business. Carried unanimously. Mr. Feltz observed that no one had come before the Board to oppose this request and took note of the fact that Mr. Fichtel had asked his neighbors their view on his request with no negative input. Mr. Woods also said he had spoken with one of the neighbors and there was no negative feedback from that neighbor. As there was no more discussion,Ms. Kurtzman then reviewed the"Standards of Granting a Variance"for the Board and asked them to answer each of the five questions as they pertained to this variance request. Ms. Kurtzman briefly explained this process to the petitioner prior to these questions. Ryan Woods then moved to approve ZBA 2005-48 with a second by Dean Bromann. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. Ms. Kurtzman told Mr. Fichtel that the permit will be completed and Mr. Fichtel thanked the Board. New Business was closed on a motion and second by Ryan Woods and Ben Moe. Unanimous approval Additional Business: Ms. Kurtzman noted that the Board had a variance request from Jiffy Lube at the prior meeting [and the Public Hearing remained open]. She said the variance request had been withdrawn by the petitioner and that she had received a revised signage drawing from them. If the revised plan does not meet the Zoning Ordinance, Jiffy Lube would be eligible to refile a variance. As a result of the withdrawal, Chairman Davis said the Public Hearing for Jiffy Lube would be officially closed. Ms. Kurtzman said no motion was necessary because a letter of withdrawal was on file. There was no additional business and Chairman Davis asked for a motion of adjournment. It was moved and seconded by Ben Moe and Ryan Woods to adjourn the meeting. Unanimous approval.

We believe this development is larger than the average in Yorkville, for which a 100 square foot sign would be adequate, and therefore warrants this variation. The other recent large development, The Menards property, was allowed more than the normal amount of signage through a PUD because of its size. Stagecoach Crossing Shopping Center is being developed to include three out lot buildings in the front along Route 47, and two buildings comprising 44,000 square feet of space for twenty tenants to be located in the back of the plaza. Most, if not all the tenants in the back buildings will not have direct visibility to the street because of the out lot buildings that will be located along Route 47, and because of their substantial setback from Route 47. The name of the plaza and twenty tenant names cannot be effectively; safely, or aesthetically displayed on a 100 square foot sign. If all this information were squeezed on a 100 square foot sign, each tenant would have less than 5 square feet in area. Given the amount of traffic and the rate of speed past this location, such small copy would not only reduce each tenant's visibility for advertising purposes, but also inhibit way finding by the traveling public. Struggling to read such small copy could impede traffic and or lead to late signaling or quick stops as drivers realize, later than they should, that a business they are looking for is in Stagecoach Crossing. The sign was designed to be aesthetically in keeping with the character of the plaza. The owner is spending extra money to provide masonry on the pylons and to incorporate a roof on the sign that will tie into the design of the buildings. We respectfully request that our variation be approved for a 216 square foot sign with an overall height of 27' to the top of the sign roof. Given the size of the development and the number of tenants we trust you will find the sign is proportionally in size with the development.
