The Dec. 22 minutes were approved with corrections.
Hudson Lakes —Preliminary plan
Anna Kurtzman stated lot 178 is not at the end of the cul-de-sac, and
the developer will look at rotation of lots 178-182 to bring the width into
compliance. (EEI comment #16)
John Whitehouse needs additional information including the traffic
study, and ADT analysis, a field tile study, and a copy of the NRI. Street
names are approved and will be added to the plan. Prestwick's revised plan
shows a new route for sanitary and pump station location, which this will be
a tributary to. We want to avoid Aux Sable creek pump station temporary
solutions, and look for final solutions for wastewater collection.
In the city's park development standards, the basin size requirement is
two acres. These specifications are applicable to all basins in the city. Any
deviations proposed should be addressed in the annexation agreement.
Jim Olguin stated the school district does not have a designated site
plan for the middle school and they are asking for an additional 10 + acres.
At issue is whether all facilities will fit on the site. The north of Penman Rd.
has been reconfigured to accommodate traffic, minimizing the access to this
1
major collector. These changes should be incorporated in the preliminary
plat for plan council review.
Mike Schoppe is proposing that the developer show a secondary
maintenance road access through the middle school site. The developer will
show frontage (one-half of the lots width) along the south side of the 10 acre
site on the preliminary plan, to allow for parking. The school district and the
park district may agree on a trail. Scott Sleezer would like to have front
funding for the development of the Raintree/Prestwick site.
Joe Wywrot suggested the two cul-de-sacs on the northeast side be
connected for ease of snow removal. The police would prefer a T
intersection at the cul-de-sac, but Mr. Schoppe suggested only 7 lots are
serviced and traffic should not be a problem.
On the preliminary plat, Astor should be changed to Tremont Street.
Joe suggested the developer shorten the northern most cul-de-sac, reducing
the pavement and right of way area, and retaining the same number of lots.
Setback lines should be noted on the preliminary plat, so there is no question
at final plat, which are side, front or rear yards.
All ponds are being proposed as wet. The developer will look at
additional buffer at the rear of the yards. There will be a sidewalk on one
side of Penman and bike path on the south side.
This will be on the agenda at the March 9th plan council.
White Pines Farm - Preliminary PUD
The developer stated the B-3 will be commercial straight zoning, and
the PUD R-2 zoning. Mike Schoppe stated there will need to be a zoning
plat, with legal descriptions for the two parcels.
The North/South 450' park dimension is in the city standards, and
gives the City flexibility to place soccer or ball fields. The developer may
eliminate the 90 degree parking spaces and allow for the 450' width. Bob
Nelson proposed the park site be relocated to the seven acres green space
along Ashe. The vision for this site could include a tower, additional
detention, or a church site. Scott Sleezer suggested this park site be
discussed at the Park Board, and Bob Nelson proposed V2 land and V2 cash.
Additional proposals should be noted on the concept plan.
Mr. Schoppe suggested the developer may need to address why
additional changes to the street changes were not incorporated. (Comment
#4). The City is proposing both the north /south street and east/west
entrances as boulevards. Bob Nelson stated the east west avenue was
2
designed as a gateway to the park. He will show additional trees along the
north south route.
The developer reduced townhouse number and increases the number
of single family units, but may need to address the density.
Typically there would be a 5' sidewalk along both Galena and Ashe,
and the city okayed a 10' foot asphalt trail in lieu of this. The 13.4 acre basin
should be separated with a trail. The City is asking for sidewalk around the
park site and directly to the east of the site, connecting to the easterly
subdivision (close to the Com Ed easement). The City will consider land
cash for trail, and negotiate with the developer and park district. The county
will own Ashe Road, with the regional trail along the east side of Eldamain
Rd.
On the preliminary plan, the right of way dedication on the SE stub is
shown. East of there Schultz owns a sliver of land, (which should be shown
on the preliminary plat) and there is 400 feet that is Com Ed's easement.
Potentially there is will be street extension across Com Ed at the north end
into Pulte, a trail connection in the middle, and a street connection at the
south end.
There is sufficient frontage along Beecher for two entrances and one
along Galena, if the county approves. The developer will propose a trail
serving both properties along the north side of the Com Ed property.
A preliminary PUD plan with detailed typical lot information and
building setbacks needs to be submitted.
John Whitehouse stated the developer's current separation along
Galena road is 1300 feet and the developer may need a variance from the
Kendall Co. board, to determine traffic patterns and entrances. The City
needs concurrence for access along Baseline, which should be addressed by
John Wyeth and Mr. Eichelberger from Sugar Grove. Before City Council
approves and annexation, the city would need to see county variance
granted.
At T intersections, sidewalks should be provided on the top of the T
side of the street for cross walks facilitations.
The west branch of Rob Roy Creek serves this area, and timing needs
to be considered. The developer should contact YBSD, as the only easement
currently being sought is across the Bennett property. Bob Nelson has heard
no action regarding the FPA amendment and will contact John Frerich at
Douche. Water main comes along Galena to the E. Beecher Rd. at Del
Webb, and another coming westerly from Bailey Meadows through Pulte
property on the north.
3
An alternative storm water discharge is proposed along Galena Rd. to
the ditch. The city is proposing a drainage pipe flowing from Galena to the
Schultz property swale, across the street from Aurora Blacktop. This change
is proposed due to the continuous volume flow along the Galena Rd. ditch.
The HOA will have ownership of the southeastern trail.
This will be on the plan council agenda on March 9th.
Bailey Meadows —Revised Preliminary Plan
The developer is asking for additional acreage, in conjunction with a
1:1 compensatory storage ratio. Relocating the access to comply with
IDOT's standard, they are requesting two additional commercial lots. Lot
133 initially showed a Nicor pressure reducing statement, which now will be
built on the east side of Rt. 47
Currently the commercial property is zoned B-3, so setbacks for the
out lots could be included in the amended annexation agreement. In straight
zoning, all property is under one ownership, with individual property
leasees.
Proposed by the City was 1) enlarging Lot 202, then re-subdivision of
this lot, when the Schramm strip usage is determined and Rt. 47 accesses are
finalized. Or 2) the commercial area can be zoned a PUD with out lots; 3)
build with leases with unplatted lots; or 4) subdivide with public streets all
on the frontage roads.
John Whitehouse stated the water main loops come up from the south
across Com Ed. Because of Del Webb proposal to the south, stubbed streets
are not proposed to continue from Com Ed to Bailey Meadows, Wainwright
Lane and Clarence Lane stubs to the south should be eliminating at final
platting, subject to an agreement with Del Webb. Wainwright south of
Bedford could be included as a park extension and could be a 60' wide
parking, with lot narrowing or realignments.
Scott Sleezer stated that a bike path is desirable on the south edge of
the property but no agreement with Com Ed right of way has been secured.
The City can discuss the trail options with Com Ed, or it could be developed
an on street trail.
Mike Schoppe discussed the school site proposed in Pulte, west of Lot
190. If Potter Street extends to the west, that would enable additional
parking for school activities. Scott Sleezer does not want the school and park
site divided by a street. The city will determine road extensions and parking
lot at residential final plat.
4
John Whitehouse stated a setback issue from Rob Roy Creek to the
commercial area needs to be resolved. In addition,justification for the
compensatory storage ratio should be presented to the City.
Mike Schoppe recommended that lot 205 be owned by the City. The
proposed bike trail has been moved by the developer, to the west of the
commercial area. Scott Sleezer will advise the City staff where the trail
should cross, so this plan can be approved. The 30' just east of the
commercial lots is to the center line of the creek to the west, so no trail could
be placed in this property.
Mike Schoppe recommended the trails end easement be moved to the
east, made a lot, and owned by the city, for usage for signage and parking.
This easement will connect to the trail to the west. Anna Kurtzman will
check the setbacks.
The city is asking for a cross section showing the area along Rob Roy
Creek showing grading, vegetation and the proposed storm sewer for IDNR
recommendations. A second cross section should be prepared lot 208, from
the parking setback to the edge of pavement on Route 47. These will be
incorporated on the preliminary engineering plans.
A cross section of the trail will be given to the park board.
The access to the trailhead is shown through the commercial area.
There is a blanket easement over the storm water management area. Mike
Schoppe suggested the trailhead be moved to the right
This will be on the March 9 agenda for plan council.
Caledonia Unit 1 Final Plat
The owner of this property has changed. The boundary of the plat is
smaller. The petitioner will be submitting separate units. The original final
plat has been approved. The proposed portion of the original plat shows no
changes, but it is just a different document. Staff acknowledges this Unit 1
is consistent with the final plat that was previously approved.
There will be a memo prepared by staff stating that this Unit 1 plat
was previously approved for Caledonia. This will be on the agenda for the
Feb. 9 Plan Commission.

• Preliminary review letter from Francis C. Klaas, P.E., Kendall County Engineer
dated January 6, 2005.
General
1. No part of the proposed development is located within a Special Flood
Hazard Area as identified by FEMA based on Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) 170341 0075 C, dated July 19, 1982.
2. A thorough review of the Wetland Delineation and Report should be
completed by the City's wetland consultant prior to Preliminary Plan
approval.
3. Permits or Sign-offs will be required from the following agencies:
a. (IDNR) Consultation Agency Action Report (Project Code 0401799)
regarding endangered/threatened species or natural areas. Received,
October 30, 2003, consultation process terminated.
b. (IHPA) Division of Preservation Services regarding Historic and
Archaeological Resources. In a letter dated October 22, 2003 (Log #
005100303) the IHPA has requested a Phase I reconnaissance
survey. The results of this survey should be submitted to the City when
completed.
c. Yorkville-Bristol Sanitary District regarding Sanitary Sewer Facilities.
d. (IEPA) Division of Water Pollution Control regarding Sanitary Sewer
Facilities.
e. (IEPA) Division of Public Water Supplies regarding water supply and
distribution.

(NOI) General permit to discharge storm water.
GAPublic\Yorkville\2005\Y00501 Silver Fox Subdivision\docs\lwywrotPrelimPlan02.doc
g. Kendall County Highway Department regarding points of access to Fox
Road. Preliminary comments received January 6, 2005.
We recommend that item "b" be received prior to Preliminary Plan approval and that for
item g, all comments in County Engineer Klaas' letter dated January 6, 2005 be
addressed to his satisfaction. Items c, d, e & f will be required prior to the start of
construction activities.
4. A Natural Resource Information Report should be applied for and prepared
by the Kendall County Soil and Water Conservation District and submitted
for review.
5. An agricultural field tile survey should be performed and the results
submitted for review.
Preliminary Engineering Plan, General
6. Note 6 on Sheet 1 of the Preliminary Engineering Plan is improperly worded.
It should state that "all existing drainage patterns shall be maintained and all
field tiles shall be tied into the proposed storm sewer system", or words to
that effect. Repeat Comment.
7. Existing trees, 6" caliper and above, if any exist in the development area,
should be shown on the Preliminary Plan.
8. Street names should be added to the Preliminary Engineering Plan for
review by City Staff and others.
9. On Sheet 1, the Typical Street Cross Section with the 70 foot right of way
should be labeled with the street name to which it applies.
Traffic Study, Streets and Right of Way
10.The Fox Road Southwest Area Transportation Study, partially funded by the
petitioner has been adopted by the City Council and satisfies the Traffic
Impact Study requirement of the Subdivision Ordinance. This document
should be referred to with regard to the impacts of this and other area land
development activity. Of particular note is the Study recommendation that
the Green Briar Road extension be constructed prior to development of this
property and that all construction traffic be prohibited from Fox Road.
11. A construction detail should be provided for the Temporary Emergency
Access, for City, Fire Department and KCHD review.
GAPublictYorkville120051Y00501 Silver Fox Subdivision\docs\lwywrotPrelimPlan02.doc
12. The required minimum 30 foot back to back roadway width should be
maintained in the cul-de-sacs.
13. All block lengths conform to City Standards.
14. All proposed centerline geometry meets City Standards.
15. The southerly most east-west street (900 Road), right of way and pavement
should be extended to the David Matlock property line. The proposed route
of Green Briar Road has been established to allow development of this strip
of property northerly of the Green Briar Road right of way. The topography
of this property should be evaluated and the sanitary sewer deepened
through Silver Fox as much as practicable to serve this strip of the Matlock
property.
16. The proposed street lighting layout is in general conformance with City
Standards. Some of the intersection lights should be moved to the "top" of
the tee intersections if they would not be in the center of lots or in conflict
with other utilities.
Water Mains
17. Water main routing, looping and extensions for future use are adequate as
presented. Detailed review of fire hydrant and valve locations will be
accomplished at Final Engineering.
18. The design engineer may want to consider moving the large diameter storm
sewer that crosses the front of Lots 111 and 112 to the front of Lots 97 and
98 and then westerly along the northerly line of Lots 111 and 112 to the
basin. This revision would open up the easement across the frontage of Lots
111-115 for the water main loop, thus eliminating 5 long water service
crossings of the street.
19. We will input the proposed water distribution system into the City's model
and provide the design engineer with the required water main sizes at Final
Engineering.
20. The funding and timing of the construction of the required off-site water
mains which will serve this development will need to be established prior to
approval of a Final Plat.
G:\Publiic\Yorkville\2005\YO0501 Silver Fox Subdivision\docs\lwywrotPrelimPlan02.doc
Sanitary Sewers
21. The internal preliminary sanitary sewer layout appears adequate as
presented and provides service to all proposed lots.
22. See Comment 15 regarding potential service to the adjoining Matlock
property.
23. The funding and timing of the construction of the required off-site interceptor
sanitary sewer which will serve this development will need to be established
prior to approval of a Final Plat.
Storm Sewers
24.The preliminary storm sewer layout appears to be adequate, except as noted
in the following comments, to collect and carry the 10-year design storm. A
comprehensive storm sewer design report detailing tributary areas for each
inlet, storm sewer sizing calculations and overland flood routes with cross-
sections for all runoff events in excess of the design storm, will be required
with the final engineering plans.
25. The curb inlets near the northeast corner of Lot 172 are not connected to
the storm sewer system.
26. To maintain the maximum spacing requirement of 300 feet between inlets,
additional storm sewers and inlet may be required along the northerly line of
Lot 79.
Stormwater Management
27. The Stormwater Management Report is clear and well presented and
adequately assesses the proposed stormwater management system for the
Preliminary Plan. The Final Stormwater management Report will need to
address, among other things, water quality issues and discharge impacts to
the drainageway running along the westerly edge of the property. Alternate
discharge designs (other than the level spreader) should be considered.
28. The Preliminary Soils Report identifies some saturated sand and gravel
deposits along the western edge of the proposed development. These soils
will need to be further evaluated in the vicinity of Basins 2 and 3 prior to final
design of these stormwater management facilities. These basins may need
clay linings to prevent draining of the proposed wet bottom basins and to
ensure the adjacent basements excavations are not hydraulically connected
to the basin water levels.
G:\Public\Yorkville\2005\YO0501 Silver Fax Subdivision\docs\lwywrotPrelimPlan02.doc
29. The level spreader proposed as part of the Basin 2 discharge system should
be labeled.
30. The discharge from Basin 1, as noted by KCHD, should not discharge to the
Fox Road ditch. An off-site storm sewer outfall will most likely be necessary
to direct this flow to a channel with adequate capacity and which will not be
negatively impacted by nuisance flows.
31. Final basin design will have to show that the 10 year HWL is within 2 feet of
the NWL as required by City ordinance and will have to further comply with
the design requirements of the Park Development Standards unless modified
in the Annexation Agreement.
32. Due to flooding concerns downstream of this development, the design
engineer has reduced the allowable discharge rate to 0.10 cfs/acre.
Preliminary Plat of Subdivision
33.The differences between the bearings and dimensions in the legal
description and those shown on the Plat should be reconciled.
34. The Professional Land Surveyor should sign the Preliminary Plat.
35. As requested by County Engineer Klaas, an additional 15 feet of right of way
has been provided for Fox Road.
36. Fox Road should additionally be labeled as County Highway 1.
37. Street names should be added to the Plat for review by City Staff and
others.
38. Lot 146 should be shown in its entirety on at least one of the plat sheets.
39. The proposed minimum lot size is 12,000 square feet. The following lots do
not meet this requirement: 10, 141, 142, 143 and 149.
40. Lots 163 and 164 do not appear to meet the minimum square footage
requirement. However, the side lot line common to them is improperly
dimensioned which accounts for the missing 7 square feet.
41. The following lots have missing or incorrect dimensions: 9, 33, 38, 39, 124,
133, 134, 135, 136, 139, 144, 148, 149, 153, 163, 164, 165, 166 and 175.
42. All proposed right of way geometry meets City Standards.
GAPublic\Yorkville\2005\YO0501 Silver Fox Subdivision\docs\lwywrotPreiimPlan 02.doe
43. The "Matlock Trust" property immediately south of the subdivision was sold
in November of 2005. The ownership information should be updated.
Conclusion
Our review of this Preliminary Plan will continue as the above comments are
addressed by the developer and the design engineer and additional information
is submitted as requested. If you have any questions or require additional
information, please contact our office.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Art Prochaska
From: Mike Schoppe - Schoppe Design Associates, Inc.
Re: Silver Fox
We have reviewed the Preliminary Plat dated 12/8/05 and the Preliminary Engineering dated
12/9/05 prepared by Smith Engineering Consultants, and the Preliminary Landscape Plans dated
2/4/05 prepared by Ives/Ryan Group,and provide the following comments.
Preliminary Plat
1. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Update identifies this area as Estate and to be
developed at a maximum density of 1.75 du/ac(the proposed density of Silver Fox is
1.72 du/ac). The plan further suggests that if a development is to be approved above
1.5 du/ac, the development needs to demonstrate compliance with the design guidelines
and the incorporation of other specific improvements,such as funding of site
improvements,incorporating architectural standards which exceed City requirements,
increased landscaping, additional open space beyond City:requirements, etc. Based on
the documents we have, it is not clear how the additional benefits justifying the density
above 1.5 du/ac is being accomplished. We recommend a description be added to the
plants listing and clarifying what the additional improvements are and how the design
guidelines are being met.
2. As mentioned in our February 3,2005 review,a 50' wide conservation easement should
be along the east property line from Fox Road R.O.W. to the south property line. The
grading, storm sewer and utility construction will need to be restricted to areas outside of
the conservation easement.
3. The lot sizes,lot widths and other bulk regulations are consistent with the R-2 zoning
classification.
4. A 3 acre park has been provided per the Park Board's request.
5. Label the amount of R.O.W. dedication for Fox Road.
Pgge 1 ot.2
Feb . 3 . 2006 4: 14PM No. 0809 P . 3/3
Preliminary Ungineexxng
1. A walk on the south side of Fox Road in the 50' landscape buffer needs to be added.
2. The location of the existing trees and their dripline needs to be added to the plans.
3. After adding existing vegetation, adjust contours around stormwater basins to eliminate
grading within the dripline.
Preliminary Landscape Plan
I. The plazas identify a 50' wide landscape buffer along Fox Road. The proposed plantings
in the buffer consist primarily of bluegrass turf and informal clusters of ornamental shade
and evergreen.trees. This design would create an attractive landscape,however,it would
not be any different than other nice looking landscapes throughout the City. One of the
objectives of the City Council is that developments south of the river look somewhat
different than other developments. One of the important objectives of the
Comprehensive Flan design guidelines is that the landscaping in the City's "Secondary
Gateways",of which Fox Road is one of,be used to create"the natural feel of the rural
landscape"and"to enhance the rural identity". We recommend that the design style for
the buffer landscape be revised to more directly accomplish these goals. Elements such
as fencing, wood lots,naturalized turf,prairie or wind breaks might be considered as
potential rural landscape elements,
2. Add existing vegetation to the landscape plan,.
Please call if you have any questions.

Re: Fountain Village of Yorkville—Mass Grading
Dear Scott:
I have reviewed the revised plans for earthwork and erosion control for the referenced
project, received on November 9, 2005, and have the following comments:
General
• I have received the requested letter from Dean Tomich obligating himself to
obtain IDOT's approval of sending the south pond overflow to the Route 47 right-
of-way. This approval will occur when the final site plan is submitted to them.
• Clearly identify the existing watermain along Route 47. This watermain may need
to be replaced if too much cover is added or too little cover remains as a result of
earthwork operations.
• Provide elevations along the IDOT right-of-way line at regular intervals and
indicate how the area between the right-of-way lines and the BOC of the frontage
road will be graded.
• Add the IDOT right-of-way linetype to the Legend Box on each sheet.
• Provide or confirm elevations shown for the entrance drives and the"porkehop"
medians where they meet the Route 47 or Route 71 pavements. This information
is missing for two of the entrances and don't appear reasonable for the other two.
• Specify at least 6 inches of topsoil,turf grass restoration, and erosion control
blanket along the west property line where existing residential properties exist.
Provide a separate landscape plan calling for replacement of the existing trees and
bushes in this area.
Sheet 4
• Call for riprap at the outfall of the north pond.
Sheet 5
• Show the proposed re-grading of the IDOT right-of-way to accept the south pond
overflow.
Sheets 7-8
• A separate submittal will be required for the temporary retaining wall along the
west property line just north of Route 71.
Sheet 10
• Revise the retention basin detail to call for a minimum topsoil depth of 6 inches.
• Revise the wetland detention basin detail to specify the type of seed mixture on
the pond bottom and on the embankments. Call for a minimum topsoil depth of 12
inches.
Based on the information provided to date we will issue a temporary site development
permit to allow earthwork operations to continue. Revised mass grading plans must be re-
submitted as soon as possible. A landscape plan for the western perimeter and a plan for
the temporary retaining wall must also be submitted as soon as possible.
If you have questions regarding any of these items, please call me at 553-8527.
Very truly yours,
Joseph Wywrot

Re: Fountain Village
We have reviewed the Final Plat of Subdivision dated 121.10105,the Civil Engineering Plans
dated 12/5/05, and the Preliminary Landscape Plans dated 1/13/06, all prepared by Smith
Engineering Consultants, and provide the following comments.
Final Plat
1. Per the annexation agreement for Sunflower Estates, of which a majority of this property
is covered by,the Owner must present a preliminary and final plat in conformance with
the Subdivision Control ordinance. I do not believe a preliminary plat has been approved
for this commercial subdivision. We will need to discuss at the Plan Council meeting
whether a preliminary plat,should be processed.
2. The existing zoning on the property is 5-3. The lot sizes are consistent with the B-3
requirements.
3. Currently, the front yard setback is shown. Side and rear yard setback lines need to be
added.
4. A vehicular access easement should be provided on lots 4 and 5 and also on lot 1 that will
allow future vehicular access to the adjacent properties.
5. A blanket vehicular easement should be provided over all of the lots.
Civil Engineearina Plans
1_ It is our understanding from talking with S.E.C.that, at this time, lot 3 is the only lot for
which site plan approval is being sought. Therefore, our review will be limited to lot 3. ,
and will not include lots 1, 2,4 and 5.
2. The building and parking locations conform to the setbacks of the E-3 district_
3. The proposed 144 parking spaces conform to the minimum parking requirements for
retail uses, and for establishments dispensing food and,beverages for consumption on the
premises.
4. ,Add the contouring to the grading plans that show on the landscape plans in the 30' strip
running along the west property line

Pretiminary Landscape Plans
1. Our landscape plaza review is limited to lot 3.
2, It is our understanding that the developer is requesting final approval,and therefore the
plazas should be entitled"Final Landscape Plans".
3- Because this is intended to be a final landscape plan,the quantity of materials needs to be
shown on the plans.
4. The following planting categories from the City's Landscape Ordinance apply to Lot 3;
Parkway Landscaping,Perimeter Landscaping, Parking Lot Landscaping, Perimeter
Parking Lot Landscaping, Lot Landscaping and Stormwater Basin Landscaping. Given
these categories and this site plan,the following are the total quantity of plant material
;required for Lot 3:
a. 87 Shade Trees
b. 32 Evergreen Trees
c. 20 ornamental Trees
d. 215 shrubs
Include these quantities in the revised Landscape Plants
Please call if you have any questions.

Re: Fountain Village of Yorkville— Site Plan Review
Dear Scott:
I have reviewed the revised site plan,received January 23, 2006, and have the comments
listed below. Some of these items are to be performed by others or at a later date,but they
are listed so they are not overlooked.
General
• Provide a revised Plat of Subdivision for review.
• Respond to any comments from IDOT. A highway permit will be required.
• Please respond to comments from Walter E. Deuchler Associates, Inc. with
.respect to the sanitary design.
• The Illinois EPA permit application has been received and is being processed for
signatures. I cannot release it until I receive an acknowledgement letter from the
developer. This is a letter acknowledging that the city is signing the permit
application at this time to expedite issuance of the IEPA permit, and that the city's
signature on the permit application does not constitute plat or plan approval.
• Stormwater detention sizing has been previously approved,based on the central
pond overflow to IDOT's Route 47 right-of-way.
• A site development permit application has been received. A letter of credit
guaranteeing satisfactory completion of earthwork and erosion/sediment control
measures has also been received. Earthwork was allowed to proceed prior to the
decision regarding subdivision of the property. We had assumed that no
subdivision of property would occur, and that approval of the site plan would be
handled at the staff level.
• Provide documentation that the Notice of Intent (NOI)has been submitted to the
Illinois EPA. Your letter states that the NOI was attached,but it wasn't.
• The landscape plan has been forwarded to Mike Schoppe for review. Since the
bulk of the site will remain undeveloped for the time.being, the landscape plan
should call for interim landscaping for those undeveloped areas.
• Provide photometrics for exterior lighting. The lighting should be designed to
comply with our"dark-sky"requirements. The average lighting intensity should
be between 2.0 and 2.5 footcandles. The max/min ratio should not exceed 20:1.
The avg/min ratio should not exceed 6:1.
• Storm sewer sizing was reviewed assuming using the lot layouts from your
12/5/05 plans. The design is acceptable except for a few minor changes. See
below for comments.
• The pond restrictor sizing calculations are acceptable.
• An engineer's estimate of cost is needed for the site improvements once the plans
are approved. The estimate should include earthwork, erosion and sediment
control,utilities, paving, landscaping, and exterior lighting.
Sheet 6
• Call for permanent barricades at the end of pavement for the Route 71 entrance
and at the north end of the Route 47 frontage road. Also show Type III barricades
immediately south of the southern Route 47 entrance.
• Call for existing sanitary manholes C, D, and E to be adjusted to finished grade
and fitted with external chimney seals.
• Delete Hydrant No.508.
• Delete the Valve No.503 and associated piping. This valve can be constructed
when the northernmost site is built out.
• Delete Valve No.514. Valve No.512 will act as the shut-off for this water service.
Sheet 8
• Provide Tag data for the existing sanitary manhole at the far NW comer of the
site. Call for the rim to be adjusted and the manhole fitted with an external
chimney seal.
• Provide an elevation for the north pond curtain walla
• Replace existing Storm Structure A with a 4' catch basin.
Sheet 9
• Provide Tag data for Storm Structure Nos. 503 and 504.
• Change Storm Structure No. 202 to a 5' dia_ manhole.
• Change Storm Structure No. 204 to a 5' dia_ catch basin.
Sheet 10
• Revise Storm Sewer 246 to be 12" diameter to agree with the tag data on Sheet
11.
Sheet 11
• Provide a second inlet near Storm Structure 265 to help pick up the flow from the
relatively large tributary area.
• Storm Structure 234 should be 5' diameter.
• Revise Storm Sewer 260 to 21" diameter to agree with sizing calculations.
• Revise Storm Sewer 265 to 18" diameter based on sizing calculations.
s
Sheet 12
• Is an existing power pole located within the proposed sidewalk just west of the
Route 71 entrance? Move the sidewalk north to a point one foot inside IDOT's
proposed right-of-way.
• Public sidewalk should be extended south along Route 47 and east along Route 71
towards the NW comer of the intersection.
• Revise the existing watermain alignment along Route 71 to match the location of
valves.
Sheet 1
• Revise the water service detail by eliminating the irrigation stub.
Please make the requested revisions and submit at two sets of plans and supporting.
documentation for review at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions
regarding these comments,please call me at 553-8527.
Very truly yours,
U
