1. PZC 2016-03 Alexander Berman, Petitioner, on behalf of Kendall
Holdings I, LLC, Owner, has filed an application with the United City of
Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting to vary the requirements
of City Code Section 10-20-6-C regarding Yard Requirements for signs to
allow an existing multi-tenant business sign to be located less than five
Page 2 of 3
feet (5') from any driveway and lot line. The existing sign is located at
the entrance to the Kendall Marketplace shopping center at US 34 and
Isabel Drive.
Mr. Gavin Smith said Kendall Marketplace was approached by IDOT about the Route 34
expansion. This will cause the shopping center sign to be within 5 feet of the roadway
making it a non-conforming sign. He said it would be quite expensive to move the sign
and a variance is being requested.
Ms. Noble gave the staff report and said the pavement will not be affected being closer to
the sign, but the Right-of-Way line would make the sign non-compliant. She said the
staff supports the request and the petitioner had 5 years in which to take action, but they
were proactive by requesting the variance at this time. The petitioner's responses to the
Standards will be entered into the record. She added that this type of request can be
finalized within the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Ms. Noble said Commissioner Olson had brought forward the fact that the legal
description includes the land being taken and also encompasses the portion of the land on
which the sign sits and the sign itself. This will be incorporated into the motion along
with the parcel number of 02-29-131-005. Mr. Olson asked where the new sign would
be placed when more stores are included. At that time, it would have to conform to being
5 feet from the right-of-way.
At approximately 7:09pm a motion to close the Public Hearing was made by Mr. Olson
and seconded by Ms. Horaz.
Roll call: Horaz-yes, Marcum-yes, Olson-yes,Vinyard-yes, Gockman-yes. Passed 5-0.

Action Item

A motion was then made by Mr. Marcum to approve the findings of facts and the motion.

number) as follows: In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on
September 14, 2016 and approval of the findings of fact, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommends approval of a request to vary the sign regulations contained in
Section 10-20-6-C of the United City of Yorkville Zoning Ordinance to permit a free
standing monument sign in a business district to be within five feet (5') from the
property's lot line, as presented by staff in a memorandum dated September 7, 2016,
Parcel #02-29-131-005.
Roll call: Olson-yes, Vinyard-yes, Gockman-yes, Horaz-yes, Marcum-yes. Passed 5-0.
