PUBLIC MEETING
On Street/Overnight Parldng Restrictions from 1:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M.
Mayor Prochaska explained that the public meeting was to obtain input from residents regarding
the proposed parking restrictions. He noted the new language for the restrictions was in Exhibit
"A ". He opened the floor for public comment.
Anne Engelhardt, 312 E. Blackberry Lane, addressed the City Council. She expressed her
support for most of the concepts of the restrictions however she voiced concerns regarding
residents such as herself who have small garages and short driveways. She stated that if the
restrictions were put into effect on her street there would be times when her family would be
forced to park on the grass and she asked if they would be ticketed for this. Also, she was
The Minutes of the ReLyular MeetinLy of the Citv Council — July 26, 2005 - Aa 2
concerned with last minute overnight guests who may have to park on the street. She questioned
who should be contacted in the event of this. She stated that if the restrictions are to address
problems with street cleaning, residents should be given specific dates so cars can be removed
from the street. She agreed that there is a problem with large commercial vehicles being parked
on residential streets however a law shouldn't be passed that will affect all the citizens when there
is a small amount of offenders. She suggested special permits for cars needing to park on streets
overnight.
Mary Unterbrunner, 418 Jackson Street, addressed the Council. She asked what prompted the
need for parking restrictions. She also questioned if the restriction was needed because of ,a
safety issue: she did not feel there was a lot of traffic from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to warrant a ban
during those hours. She made the suggestions that specific dates be assigned for street sweeping
and possibly allowing parking on one side of the street. She stated that she did not support the
ordinance.
Van Truman Park Board Member and resident, 907 State Street, addressed the Council. He asked
the City Council where the need came from for such a comprehensive ban. He stated that he
understood the need for emergency vehicle access on streets however he felt that the proposed
ordinance was over overreaching and intrusive to many residents. He asked what resources the
city had to commit to enforcing the ordinance. He commented that a parking ban was placed on a
portion of John Street and that he did not remember seeing any notice of public input before this
was enacted. He stated that he felt this ban was counterproductive to park usage as it was placed
on the portion of the street near the park. He encouraged the City Council not to approve the
ordinance. Mayor Prochaska explained to Mr. Truman that the parking restrictions on John Street
were made at the request of residents in the area.
Eric Swanson, 464 Landmark Avenue, addressed the City Council on behalf of the residents of
the Longford Lakes condominiums. He stated that when this area was developed, a designated
parking area for residential parking was not planned for. He stated that the design of the
driveways in the subdivision don't accommodate all the vehicles in the development however the
streets were designed wide enough to have parking on both sides of the street. He suggested that
street parking be grandfathered in for the older areas of the city. He read a letter written by Carol
Smith of Avenue 1000 Reality on behalf of the residents of Longford Lakes Condominiums
expressing opposition to the parking restrictions (see attached). Mr. Swanson asked the Council
to reconsider the ordinance.
Mark Gilmore, 406 Bruell Street, addressed the Council. He explained that he had three vehicles
but only a two car garage. One vehicle is a commercial vehicle he makes a living with and it
would be inconvenient to park this vehicle elsewhere. He stated that he has lived in Yorkville for
sixteen years and if the parking restriction ordinance is passed he did not know what choice this
will give him for parking.
Carol Foster, 1312 Chestnut Circle, explained to the City Council that she lives in the Fox Hill
subdivision and there are large commercial vehicles that park in the area for days at a time. She
stated that there are nice homes in the area and she did not feel it was fair to look out at one of
these vehicles everyday. She also addressed parking on John and Sycamore Streets; she stated
that if cars are parked on both sides of the street it is impossible for homeowners to back their
cars out of their driveways. She stated that she would like to see no parking on either side of the
street and supported the parking restriction to one side of the street.
Tony Robinson, 655 White Oak Way, stated that he saw no problems with parking in his
subdivision other than the times when people park in their driveways and block the sidewalks.
He stated that if the ordinance is approved, a number of residents in his area would incur parking
problems. They would have to decide which ordinance to violate; park on the street or block the
sidewalks. He asked if the City Council had any statistics to support the ban between 1:00 a.m.
and 6:00 a.m. He stated that he did not know of any children playing on the streets at this time
and he felt there are bigger safety issues during the hours when the school buses are runnin He
stated that he felt it was absurd to ban parking when it is not needed.
Brian Payne, 307 E. Kendall, explained that he is a painter with a commercial vehicle and does
not have a garage that will accommodate it. He stated that he needs his vehicle to make his house
payment and pay taxes. He asked if the restriction would affect his parking the van in his
driveway. Mayor Prochaska explained that the purpose of tonight's meeting was to receive
resident's input.
Paul Grayla, 404 Bruell Street, explained that he is a neighbor of Mark Gilmore. He stated that
Mr. Gilmore needs his work vehicle to make a living and the City Council should try to figure out
a way to accommodate people like Mr. Gilmore.
The Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Citv Council — July 26, 2005 - Mee 3
Jean McBride, 1212 Evergreen, stated that when the ball field is busv in Fox Hill there are cars
parked on both sides of the street; sometimes even in the wrong direction. She stated that
children run out from between the cars to chase a ball which creates a danger. She stated that she
has a friend who lives I the townhomes in Fox Hill which have limited parking and the streets are
crowded. She felt the restriction might help this area. Her biggest concern was commercial
vehicles parking on the streets. She also noted a contractor's van which is parked on Cannonball
Trail which is difficult to see around. She supported a ban against large trucks parking on the
streets.
Jeff Lacey, 405 Bruell Street, expressed his support to the parking restrictions because there is a
tractor trailer which parks across the street from his driveway and makes it difficult for him to
back out of his driveway.
Chris Moment, 221 W. Kendall, explained that he drives a commercial work vehicle. He stated
that the City Council should not pass anything that would adversely affect people who are self
employed or who advertise their place of employment on their vehicles. 'He stated that it is
helpful to see contractor's trucks in the event a person needs an electrician, plumber, etc. He
noted that police cars park on driveways which are great for the neighborhood however they are
also lettered. He asked the City Council to consider a more accommodating ordinance.
Myrla Randall, 501 So. Main Street, stated that she was concerned with the wording in Exhibit
"A ", Section A because it does not address the streets without curbs. She asked if this would
apply to every street in Yorkville.
There were no further public comments.
Mayor Prochaska reiterated that the purpose of the meeting was to get input from residents. He
asked the City Council to consider the comments and suggestions received tonight and take a
closer look at the ordinance. He opened the floor for comments from the City Council.
Alderman Ohare suggested separating the sections of Exhibit "A" into two separate ordinances.
She also suggested that the widths of the streets be consider before restricting parking on them.
She also noted that the Public Safety Committee discussed that the street restrictions would only
apply to curbed street. She stated that the Committee also discussed issues such as snow plowing
and large commercial trucks (semis) parked on the streets.
Chief Martin noted that there is already a city code under the zoning ordinances which prohibits
the parking of commercial vehicles in driveways. He stated that the Police Department does not
enforce this and the applicable ordinance is being reviewed.
Alderman Leslie thanked everyone for attending. He stated that some people do not want trucks
with lettering parked in their neighborhood. He stated that he has issues with commercial trucks
parked in his subdivision; one which parks on a corner and obstructs the view and another who
parks with a trailer with a backhoe on it. He stated that he felt that an ordinance was needed and
that he appreciated the resident's input.
Dale Woodworth, 508 E. Main Street, suggested that streets should have a standard width of 30-
33'. He also noted that houses with three car garages have the driveways come to a width of 24'
at the street. He suggested a larger width be allowed to accommodate more vehicles in the
driveway.
Mayor Prochaska stated that the driveway widths are according to the building code and that this
may need to be ree He suggested bringing the parking restriction ordinance back to the
August 2, 2005 Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting because half of the City Council was
absent tonight. He invited the public to attend the COW meeting.
Mayor Prochaska read a letter dated July 16, 2005 from Alice Woodworth regarding the parking
restriction (see attached).
There was no further discussion or comments.

PRESENTATIONS
Library Bond Sales
Kevin McCanna from Speer Financial presented the results of the bids for the $7,250,000.00
General Obligation Bonds, Series 2005B. He stated that three bids were received earlier in the
day and it is Speer Financial's opinion that the bid of LaSalle Capital Markets, a division of ABN
AMRO Financial Services, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois is the best. They recommend that LaSalle
Capital be awarded the bid at a price of $7,350,255.10 plus accrued interest at an interest rate of
4.3555 %. He further explained that the city will not need to issue any more bonds for the library
�. due to contributions from developers.
He also informed the City Council that Standard & Poors has assigned a rating of "A -" to the
United City of Yorkville. They noted that the rating reflects the General Obligation Bonds pledge
of the City along with its proximity to the strong DuPage County area economy, above - average
income and wealth levels and its sound financial position however "a high debt burden and
looming growth pressures offset the above strengths." Mr. McCanna then reported that Fitch
Ratings has assigned a rating of "A" to the City. Their rating is based of the City's rapidly
growing tax base, above - average wealth levels and consistent financial performance guided by
strong planning and prudent budgeting.
There were no questions for Mr. McCanna.
Alderman Ohare expressed her pride in the staff for a job well done.
Mayor Prochaska thanked Mr. McCann and Finance Director Traci Pleckham for their work
with the bids.

Yorkville, Illinois 60560
Dear Mayor Prochaska and Council Members Leslie, James, Burd, Wolfer,
Munns, O'Hare, Spears, and Besco:
We read the article regarding a possible proposal banning overnight street
parking in the June 23, 2005, Kendall County Record. Even though we
support most of the proposal, we feel compelled to voice our concern
regarding the parking ban in areas where parking is not a concern.
We agree with all of the safety issues. If parked vehicles make passage
difficult they should be ticketed for obstruction of traffic. All vehicles should
be off the street any time there is snow or ice on the roads. We further
support the parking ban on days when the streets are being cleaned.
However, we live on a cul -de -sac and have several family members that use
the curb parking in the front of our house for parking. We have five vehicles
and a two car garage. Our driveway could accommodate two more cars.
With the proposed parking ban will we be forced to park on the grass?
If the proposal is enforced many vehicles will park in driveways and the cars
will block sidewalks. With a blocked sidewalk, walkers and young children
will be forced onto the street. Many vehicles will be parked on grass
throughout the community. If cars pull up on the grass parkway in front of
their house will they be ticketed?
Our boys are in college. When they are home, their friends drive over and
often decide on spending the night at the last minute. Who would we contact
late at night? In addition, what would be the procedures for a special permit
when relatives visit? This would be an additional layer of administrative
duties for city employees.
We feel that the city should address the actual problem. If the problem is
street cleaning, tell the community the day that the vehicles need to be off of
the street and ticket accordingly. If the problem is snow removal, ticket cars
that are left on the street. If the problem is commercial vehicles make a law
pertaining to these vehicles. If the problem is narrow streets for safety, then
make those streets vehicle -free with no parking signs on these streets.
However, if the actual problem cannot be addressed and it becomes necessary
to create a law that encompasses 100 percent of all citizens and vehicles, we
would suggest the following proposal. Pass the parking ban for all streets.
People who feel that they have a justifiable reason for parking could apply for
a special permit (window sticker similar to a city sticker). If the police, after
checking out the request, feel that their request is acceptable a sticker could
be purchased. The people purchasing the car window sticker would have to
follow all city parking laws regarding safety, snow, and street cleaning.
In our case this would mean we would have to purchase three stickers every
year. This would allow the police to warn or ticket illegal cars. The police
would also be able to explain why some people are allowed to park on their
street.
Thank you for the time and attention you have given our concern.
Sincerely,
Jerry and Anne Engelhardt ;
Exhibit "A"
TITLE 6 — TRAFFIC, CHAPTER 2, PARKING REGULATIONS
NEW SECTION 6 -2 -6 RESTRICTIONS ON OVERNIGHT PARKING AND

caused by this restriction.
B. Limitation on Parking of Certain Commercial Vehicles: No commercial vehicle,

Yorkville, IL 60560
RE: LONGFORD LAKES CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ASSOCIATION
YORKVILLE, IL 60560
Dear Mr. Graff,
i
Please be advised that Avenue 1000 Realty is the management agent for the Longford
Lakes Condominium Owners Association. It is our understanding that the City council for
Yorkville is considering an ordinance to ban overnight parking on the public streets of Yorkville
during the early morning hours. It is also our understanding that this ordinance would apply
throughout the year and is not a specific winter oriented ordinance.
We would like to express the opposition of the 62 owners in our association to this
proposed ordinance. When our development was designed, no provision was made for "Guest
Parking" or other "Excess" parking within the dimensions of the community. In addition, the
City allowed the development to be constructed in such a fashion so as to not allow street parking
within the development, on the east side (site plan attached). As a result, the only parking
available other than in the driveways for our homeowners, is on street parking. If the City passes
the proposed ordinance, without allowing a grandfather provision for our owners and guests, this
( would represent an exceptionally undue burden on this community.
We would respectfully request that the ordinance be denied or alternatively, specific
exceptions be made to allow continued usage by our community of the public street for overnight
parking. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
V ery truly yours,
Z ENI �000 REAL7 LTD.

Dear Mayor Prochaska,
Re: Night parking ban.
I feel a night parking ban will be a hardship on
many residents, especially in the older areas of
Yorkville.
Our streets should be wide enough for cars to park
on in the subdivision areas. We are a working
community and not all of us have white - collar
jobs. Many working people need their work
vehicles at home and don't have room for them in
their driveways. This will not effect me
personally, I am voicing concerns for my
neighbors. Also, I feel our police have better
things to do than enforce a night parking ban.
Thank you for your time.
