" The amendment to 5 Chapter 2 defines a health and fitness center -- 6 club/center, and Chapter 6 amendment will provide 7 that health and fitness clubs/centers will be 8 permitted in B-2 Retail Commercial District, B-3 9 General Business District, B-4 Service Business 10 District , and M-1 Limited Manufacturing District . 11 Staff, you ready to -- 12 MR. ENGBERG: Yes . I 'm proposing it, so 13 I ' ll give a brief explanation on what we ' re doing 14 here . It ' s going to be a text amendment to the 15 zoning ordinance . 16 Back in 2015 the Plan Commission 17 amended the zoning ordinance to allow fitness 18 clubs in the M-1 district . The background being 19 a cross-fit type of use wanted to go into an M-1 20 area; and the zoning ordinance had health centers 21 or gyms in the B-2 , B-3, B-4 . 22 It was amended so, and I think what 23 really was supposed to be amended, the way it was 24 supposed to go down is just adding that to M-1 . vitosh Reporting Service 815. 993 . 2832 cros .vitosh@gmail . com 8 1 What ended up happening was fitness club got 2 added as a new use, and then was only allowed to 3 be M-1 . 4 Over the past few months I ' ve been 5 getting some commercial permit applications for a 6 studio, like a yoga studio or cross-fit in the 7 business districts ; and I went to the land use 8 table and said, is this a fitness center or a 9 health club? 10 There ' s no definition in the 11 business district . So I 'm going, okay, this 12 should be cleaned up a little bit . 13 We already allow cross -- cross-fits 14 are allowed in the business district, allowed in 15 M-1 and vice versa with health clubs, studio, 16 things like that . So we were just -- this is 17 just really a cleanup to make sure it ' s a lot 18 easier for anybody who wants to open a business 19 to read, and us for permitting, to understand, 20 yes , they' re allowed everywhere . 21 I will say that when we took this to 22 EDC, there was some mention of outright 23 permitting said uses in the M-1 , even though it 24 was approved a year ago -- or two years ago . Vitosh Deporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cros .vitosh@gmail .com 9 1 I did some investigating, looking up 2 other municipalities in the region, and it ' s 3 pretty standard that these M-1 -- some people 4 even M-2 -- allow gyms and cross-fit centers . 5 It ' s one of those things for those bigger areas , 6 those bigger spaces, even like, you know, the 7 indoor golf stuff, baseball training, they need 8 those big spaces . 9 And a lot of M-1 uses have vacant 10 space . So it kind of helps the business users to 11 make sure they ' re filling their vacancies . And 12 it just seems like, yeah, many neighborhood 13 municipalities , the EDC overall as a group 14 decided, yes, just leave it permitted, B-2 , B-3 , 15 B-4 , M-1 . 16 So that ' s the story behind it . 17 Staff ' s just recommending the zoning ordinance 18 change . And I ' d be happy to answer any -- oh, we 19 added a health and fitness club/center as a 20 combined definition, went over it with Krysti , 21 the new Development Director, and our city 22 attorney to make sure it was encompassing of all 23 these types of uses . 24 So now we have a definition; it ' s Vitosh Deporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cros .vitosh@gmail. com 10 1 very clear as one line in our land use table . So 2 hopefully it will be clear to everybody that this 3 is how we handle things . 4 So . . . I ' ll be happy to answer any 5 questions if you guys have them. 6 CHAIRMAN HARKER : The only question I 7 have -- I guess you started without saying 8 that -- we just made a change; right? 9 MR . ENGBERG: Yes, 2015 . Yep . 10 CHAIRMAN HARKER : Awesome . 11 MR . ENGBERG : It was just -- I think 12 that was the original intent of the -- but it was 13 coded as two different uses . 14 CHAIRMAN HARKER: Okay. 15 MR . ENGBERG: Going back and reading the 16 old planner ' s notes, it was for a cross-fit and 17 that type of center to be just allowed; it just 18 got coded differently. 19 CHAIRMAN HARKER: Yeah . Does anybody 20 else have any questions? 21 COMMISSIONER GOINS : No . 22 COMMISSIONER GOCKMAN : No . 23 CHAIRMAN HARKER : Okay. Since all the 24 public testimony regarding this petition has been Vitosh Reporting Service 815. 993 . 2832 cros.vitosh@gmail . com 11 1 taken, may I have a motion to close the taking of 2 testimony and this public hearing? 3 COMMISSIONER COINS : So moved. 4 COMMISSIONER MARCUM: Second . 5 CHAIRMAN HARKER : Roll call vote on the 6 motion, please . 7 MS . YOUNG : Marcum. 8 COMMISSIONER MARCUM: Yes . 9 MS . YOUNG : Olson . 10 COMMISSIONER OLSON : Yes . 11 MS . YOUNG : Gockman . 12 COMMISSIONER GOCKMAN : Yes . 13 MS . YOUNG: Goins . 14 COMMISSIONER GOINS : Yes . 15 MS . YOUNG : Harker . 16 CHAIRMAN HARKER : Yes . 17 Okay.

Background Municipalities throughout Illinois have seen a proliferation of small cell antenna applications from wireless/phone companies for both an array of improvements to existing utility poles and new poles within the right of way. Driven by the vast increase in data usage on cell phones, companies around the country are trying to find cheaper, easier ways to increase network capacity. Below are links to a sampling of articles regarding the increase of small cell antennas and government regulation of them: • http://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/mobilitie-downplays-small-cell-concerns-says-sprint-really- spending-network-upgrades • http://www.rcrwireless.com/20170322/network-infrastructure/small-cell-siting-update-tag4 The City received two small cell tower applications from a company over the past few months. The initial request was for an 80’ wooden monopole within the right-of-way adjacent to City Hall. This application was denied for a variety of reasons, and the company reapplied for an eight foot (~8’) antenna to be attached to an existing ComEd power pole on Game Farm Road, southwest of City Hall. This application was reviewed by staff and processed in accordance with the current ordinance, with minimal issue. This application would have been processed in a substantially similar matter under the ordinance referenced below, and staff did not have a legal basis to withhold issuance of the permit for the work. The staff let the applicant know that future work would have to be subject to the new ordinance. The Illinois Municipal League (IML) published a model Small Cell Antenna/Tower Siting Ordinance, addressing regulations for the expanding use of municipal rights-of-way. Staff took the model and incorporated the recommendations for the Small Cell Antennas into Chapter 8 Construction of Utility Facilities in Rights in Title 7: Way of the Public Ways and Property, as well as Chapter 18 Telecommunication and Antenna Regulations of Title 10: Zoning in Yorkville’s Codified Ordinances. Both of these ordinances were reviewed by the Public Works Committee on May 16th with favorable recommendations and now the Planning and Zoning Commission will be reviewing Chapter 18 for consideration of its impact to the Zoning Ordinance as a result of the proposed a text amendment. Final consideration of both amended chapters will be made by the City Council at an upcoming meeting. Staff is providing both proposed revised chapters to the Planning and Zoning Commission so that a full understanding of the changes are presented for your consideration, however, only Chapter 18 will be voted upon. Memorandum To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Erin Willrett, Assistant City Administrator CC: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: April 26, 2017 Subject: PZC 2017-06 – Text Amendment to Chapter 18 Telecommunication and Antenna Regulations for Small Cell Antennas In the attached red-lined version of Chapter 8, staff added several definitions per the IML recommended ordinance. An “Alternative Antenna Structure” definition was added. The Alternative Antenna Structure is what was used to place the newest small cell tower within the City, which was allowable under the current version of the Ordinance. A definition was also added for “Monopole” which was what the company that pursued the City originally applied for a permit to construct. Within Chapter 8, Section 15, Location of Facilities, Free Standing Facilities – Above Ground, staff added nine additional requirements for above ground free standing facilities per the IML. They range from the number of allowable small cell facilities on an alternative antenna structure, to the height of the structures and/or antenna and also the color of the new structure and/or antenna. All of the items that were added limit the small cell companies from installing a number of poles that are unsightly and tall. All other items and processes within the Chapter remain the same. A permit is required for construction and will be reviewed by staff and the variance process also remains the same. The changes to Chapter 18, which are also red-lined, include an updated definition of “Antenna” to make it more general so that it includes other Antenna’s other than those regulated by the FCC. The definitions were also cleaned up to eliminate items that are no longer relevant. The Ordinance also cross references Chapter 8 if any Antenna being constructed is located within the public right of way. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the updates to Chapter 18 Telecommunication and Antenna Regulations as it relates to Small Cell Antennas as it establishes a consistent measurement requirement for distances in-between the antennas and/or towers, regardless if it is on private property or public right of way. Proposed Motion for Amendment In consideration of testimony presented during a Public Hearing on June 14, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval to the City Council of a request to amend Chapter 18 Telecommunication and Antenna Regulations of the United City of Yorkville Zoning Ordinance as it relates to Small Cell Antennas presented by staff in a memorandum dated April 26, 2017 and further subject to {insert any additional conditions of the Planning and Zoning Commission}… Attachments 1.

Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to establish policies and procedures for constructing facilities on rights of way within the city's jurisdiction, which will provide public benefit consistent with the preservation of the integrity, safe usage, and visual qualities of the city rights of way and the city as a whole. B. Intent: In enacting this chapter, the city intends to exercise its authority over the rights of way in the city and, in particular, the use of the public ways and property by utilities, by establishing uniform standards to address issues presented by utility facilities, including, without limitation: 1. Prevent interference with the use of streets, sidewalks, alleys, parkways and other public ways and places; 2. Prevent the creation of visual and physical obstructions and other conditions that are hazardous to vehicular and pedestrian traffic; 3. Prevent interference with the facilities and operations of the city's utilities and of other utilities lawfully located in rights of way or public property; 4. Protect against environmental damage, including damage to trees, from the installation of utility facilities; 5. Protect against increased storm water runoff due to structures and materials that increase impermeable surfaces; 6. Preserve the character of the neighborhoods in which facilities are installed; 7. Preserve open space, particularly the tree lined parkways that characterize the city's residential neighborhoods; 8. Prevent visual blight from the proliferation of facilities in the rights of way; and 9. Assure the continued safe use and enjoyment of private properties adjacent to utility facilities locations. C.

A facility lawfully established prior to the effective date of this chapter may continue to be maintained, repaired and operated by the utility as presently constructed and located, except as may be otherwise provided in any applicable franchise, license or similar agreement. D. Franchises, Licenses, Or Similar Agreements: The city, in its discretion and as limited by law, may require utilities to enter into a franchise, license or similar agreement for the privilege of locating their facilities on, over, above, along, upon, under, across, or within the city rights of way. Utilities that are not required by law to enter into such an agreement may request that the city enter into such an agreement. In such an agreement, the city may provide for terms and conditions inconsistent with this chapter. E. Effect Of Franchises, Licenses, Or Similar Agreements: 1. Utilities Other Than Telecommunications Providers: In the event that a utility other than a telecommunications provider has a franchise, license or similar agreement with the city, such franchise, license or similar agreement shall govern and control during the term of such agreement and any lawful renewal or extension thereof. 2. Telecommunications Providers: In the event of any conflict with, or inconsistency between, the provisions of this chapter and the provisions of any franchise, license or similar agreement between the city and any telecommunications provider, the provisions of such franchise, license or similar agreement shall govern and control during the term of such agreement and any lawful renewal or extension thereof. F. Conflicts With Other Chapters: This chapter supersedes all chapters or parts of chapters adopted prior hereto that are in conflict herewith, to the extent of such conflict. G. Conflicts With State And Federal Laws: In the event that applicable federal or state laws or regulations conflict with the requirements of this chapter, the utility shall comply with the requirements of this chapter to the maximum extent possible without violating federal or state laws or regulations. H. Sound Engineering Judgment: The city shall use sound engineering judgment when administering this chapter and may vary the standards, conditions, and requirements expressed in this chapter when the city so determines. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the ability of the city to regulate its rights of way for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare.

By order of the Corporate Authorities of the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois. BETH WARREN City Clerk BY: Lisa Pickering Deputy Clerk 1 Proposal Summary Staff has reviewed the request from Kendall County Planning & Zoning Department along with the subsequent documents attached. This subject property is located within one and a half miles of the planning boundary for Yorkville allowing us the opportunity to review and provide comments to Kendall County. The petitioner, Semper Fi Land, Inc. (Robert Velazquez), is requesting Special Use authorization from Kendall County to operate a landscape waste composting facility on an approximately 5.2-acre parcel located about half (1/2) mile south of Galena Road in Bristol Township. The location of the proposed compost operation will be at 1996 Cannonball Trail. According to information obtained from the County and a meeting staff had with the petitioner, the property is currently zoned A-1 Agricultural District and has an existing special use permit to operate a landscaping business. All of the surrounding properties are within the City of Yorkville’s corporate boundary and zoned R-2 Single Family or R-2D Two- Family Attached residential. A mixed use residential development called Bristol Ridge, consisting of over 400 single family, duplexes and townhome units was approved by the City in 2006. Although development has yet to occur on this property, all entitlements remain and the owners have recently expressed interest in reviving the project in the near future. The petitioner currently resides in a detached single family house on the property. As proposed, the petitioner plans to collect only landscape and yard waste on the site, and no food or organic waste material will be permitted. The majority of the waste (approximately 85%) will be turned into mulch with the Memorandum To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Jason Engberg, Senior Planner Date: May 19, 2017 Subject: Kendall County Case #17-09 – Semper Fi (1.5 Mile Review) Special Use for a Proposed Landscape Waste Compost Facility 1996 Cannonball Trail 2 remainder converted into compost material. It is estimated the proposed landscape waste and composting operation would receive between 100 to 150 cubic yards per day with a daily maximum of 250 cubic yards. All truck traffic entering and exiting the property will be monitored by the petitioner to ensure that only clean waste materials are deposited onsite. There will be between 2 to 5 employees assisting with daily operations at the proposed landscape waste and composting facility during the hours of 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday. While some heavy equipment will be utilized as part of the proposed composting operation, such as a tub grinder, wheel loader and skid loader, the petitioner will be restricted to a maximum dbA of 65 during the day time (7:00 am – 10:00 pm) and 55 dbA during nighttime hours (10:00 pm to 7:00 am). Parking for the proposed use can be adequately accommodated on the property and access for the truck traffic will come from Cannonball Trail via a gravel driveway path installed on the southern portion of the site. All vehicles and equipment will be stored inside a building when not in use and additional evergreen trees have already been installed by the petitioner for screening where the bulk of the proposed operations will occur. Further details of the proposed operation and site plan has been provided in the attached Kendall county staff report and petitioner application prepared by Deigan & Associates, LLC, environmental consultants. The proposed use is similar to a previously approved landscape waste composting facility located in the southeast quadrant of Galena and Beecher Roads. The Green Organics facility has approximately 9.5-acres dedicated to the composting operation and processes between 150,000 cubic yards to 175,000 cubic yards of landscaping material annually. Green Organics also is situated adjacent to an approved residential development that has yet to begin construction. Kendall County’s Land Resource Management Plan designated the future land use for this property as Planned Rural Residential which has a maximum density of 0.6 dwelling units per acre. According to the LRMP, the Planned Rural Residential land use category promotes large- lot, low-density detached single-family residential development. Additionally, the district strives to provide a semi-rural or countryside setting, retaining a greater amount of open space with compatible governmental, educational, religious, and recreational uses also permitted in these areas. Yorkville Comprehensive Plan The recently updated Yorkville Comprehensive Plan has the future land use designation of the subject property as Estate/Conservation Residential (ECR). This land use designation is intended to provide flexibility for residential design to accommodate low-density detached single-family housing but also support retaining and enhancing sensitive environmental and scenic features of the land. Furthermore, the Comprehensive Plan envisions properties designated within the Estate/Conservation Residential to serve as 3 transitions between more traditional suburban neighborhoods and agricultural zones and as a place identifiable by its scenic views, tree masses and environmental features. Staff Recommendation & Comments Staff has reviewed the petitioner’s request and the Kendall County staff report which has detailed conditions as the use, operation, personnel, noise/dust/order/vector controls, as well as water and soil quality standards and have no substantial objections to the request. Staff had recommended the petitioner incorporates a paved or compacted driveway surface in the plan for truck traffic entering and existing off of Cannonball Trails into the site to further reduce dust and rock debris on Cannonball Trail at the entrance of the property. According to the Kendall County Senior Planner, the petitioner has agreed to pave the western 30 feet of the driveway off of Cannonball Trail. Staff also recommended since the proposed compost facility will be located adjacent to a potential future residential development, that the petitioner stipulates that upon such time any new residential dwelling unit is permitted for construction and occupancy is established for at least sixty (60) days in the City of Yorkville within one-eighth (1/8) mile of the subject property, the City will notify the owner/operator to establish a timeframe for closure of the composting facility within three (3) years and require a closure plan be developed and submitted to the City and IEPA in compliance with Section 830.213 Standards for Compost Facilities of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act. This is also the condition placed on the Green Organics property as part of their Special Use authorization. Per staff’s recent discussion with Kendall County, the Special Use hearing officer agreed with this condition and has included this stipulation as part of the draft approving ordinance. Finally, with regards to adherence to the designated future land use, both the Kendall County and City of Yorkville future land use plans envisioned the subject property as residential, rural in character with elements of conservation design. It is staff’s opinion that the use of the property for a landscape waste and compost facility operation is transitional until large planned residential development moves to this area. Furthermore, since the request is for Special Use approval, any change in scope, intensity or size of the proposed landscape waste and compost operation will require an amendment, public hearing and notification by Kendall County. Staff will be available to answer any questions the Planning and Zoning Commission may have regarding the County Petition. This item was delivered to the City on April 26, 2017 with feedback requested prior to Kendall County Board consideration. This item was heard at the May 2, 2017 Zoning and Platting Advisory Committee conducted by Kendall County with final consideration heard by the County Board on June 20, 2017. Attachments: 1.

Bristol, Kendall County, Illinois Application for Permit REV – 0 April 17, 2017 Sustainable Environmental Solutions www.deiganassociates.com 4 Stormwater Submittal Applicant Identification and Location Information The Kendall County Stormwater Application has been prepared for the development of a Compost Facility for the property located at 1996 Cannonball Trail in Bristol, Kendall County, Illinois (the “Site”), depicted in Figure 1 (the Site Map), as a landscape waste composting facility operated by Semper Fi Land, Inc. (Semper Fi). Semper Fi is owned and operated by Robert Velazquez. The compost facility will be developed in accordance to Title 35 Illinois Administrate Code 830 and other Federal, State, and Local rules and regulations. The Site is currently utilized as a residential dwelling and agricultural land. Surrounding land uses include both residential and agricultural. According to the Kendall County Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Online Mapper, the Site is zoned agricultural – special use (A1-SU). Immediately adjoining land uses relative to the Site include: • North—Cannonball Trail followed by cultivated agricultural land. • East— Cultivated agricultural land. • West—Cannonball Trail followed by cultivated agricultural land. • South—Cultivated agricultural land followed by residential use. Logistics and Operation The facility will operate as a composting facility that will utilize only landscape waste including yard waste and other woody material for compost material. Organic waste will not be received or processed at the facility. Approximately 70% of the landscape waste proposed to be received by the facility includes wood material (wood chips, branches and logs) and the other 30% of the material will be yard waste (compost) including leaves, grass clippings and small branches. Landscape waste processed at the facility is delivered by Semper Fi trucks, other landscape waste contractors, or homeowners who have generated landscape waste. The facility will not accept organic waste. The estimated amount of landscape waste to be received by the facility ranges between 100 and 150 yards per day. The maximum the facility anticipates receiving in a day is 250 yards. Business hours for the landscape waste composting facility will be 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The facility will be closed on Saturday and Sunday. The material processed at the Site will consist of approximately 85% mulch and 15% compost. The landscape waste brought to the facility will be sorted into material requiring Semper Fi Land, Inc. Bristol, Kendall County, Illinois Application for Permit REV – 0 April 17, 2017 Sustainable Environmental Solutions www.deiganassociates.com 5 further processing. The composting operation on-site will be a large-scale composting business, utilizing windrow composting methods to produce compost material. A mixture of composting ingredients will be placed in long, narrow piles. The initial step in constructing the compost pile will be to grind and shred ingredients using an on-site grinder. The grinder will only be operated during the Site operating hours mentioned above. Grinding ingredients also reduces the particle size which increases temperature and thus speeds up the composting process. Materials will then be mixed and the windrow piles will be constructed. The dimensions of the windrows will be approximately 13 feet high by 19 feet wide, and 250 linear feet. A tracked skid-steer and a three-yard wheel loader will be utilized to load the windrow piles. These machines will also be used to turn the windrow piles to redistribute the heat and also aerate the compost, aiding in the decomposition process. Staging areas on-site will be adequate in size and design to facilitate the unloading of landscape waste from delivery vehicles. The southeast portion of the Site operations area will be utilized for vehicle delivery and turnaround, staging of unprocessed materials (drop- off), tub grinder operations, and stockpiled compost material. The processing and staging areas on-site comprise approximately 1.2 acres. Stormwater Runoff Management Stormwater and landscape waste leachate controls as required pursuant to 35 IAC 830.204 and the Kendall County Stormwater Ordinance. Stormwater or other water which comes into contact with landscape waste will be considered landscape waste leachate and will be collected and reused in the process, properly disposed of off-site, or treated as necessary prior to discharge off-site. Stormwater that comes in contact with the site will be collected in the adjacent bioswales within the Site operations area and the filtered water will be collected in the onsite operations settling basin. Further detail detailed design measures are discussed Section B and depicted in Figure 3. Design measures will prevent ponding of landscape waste leachate on-site. Additionally, soil surfaces will not come into contact with the compost piles, as impervious surfaces will be present (depicted in Figure 3). Thus, the compost material will remain in aerobic conditions and drain into the onsite bioswale. A. Hydrology of the Compositing Facility According to the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) Illinois Water Well (ILWATER) Interactive Online Map, the nearest well (API 120932485100) is located approximately 585 feet to the west-southwest of the Site. The ISGS Illinois Water Well Map is included as Figure 4. Semper Fi Land, Inc. Bristol, Kendall County, Illinois Application for Permit REV – 0 April 17, 2017 Sustainable Environmental Solutions www.deiganassociates.com 6 According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Number 17093C0035H, the Site is located outside the boundary of the 10- year and 100-year floodplain (depicted in Figure 5). The design of the facility will prevent any compost material from being placed within five feet of the water table pursuant to 35 IAC 830.203(a)(3). Published groundwater data (obtained from the ISGS ILWATER Interactive Online Map) shows that the static groundwater level at the nearest private water well located approximately 585 feet to the west of the Site (discussed above) is approximately 19 feet below ground surface (bgs). Further, the Site elevation at this well is noted as 669 feet above mean sea level (amsl). Due to the relatively flat topography and no major water body (lake or ocean) nearby, it is likely that groundwater elevation at the Site is similar to that of the nearby well. Thus, it is inferred that due to the location of the water table in relation to site elevation, compost material would not be placed within five feet of the water table. According to 35 IAC Part 830, Standards for Compost Facilities, soil on-site must be “relatively impermeable soil”, meaning soil located above the water table that has a hydraulic conductivity no greater than 1 x 10-5 centimeters per second (cm/sec) for a thickness of at least one foot. Test results from the permeability tests reveal a hydraulic conductivity of 1.33 cm/sec. During the sub-surface investigation on-site on September 2, 2016, a soil boring was advanced to 12 feet below ground surface (bgs). The water table was not encountered during this investigation, thus indicating that the water table is located greater than 12 feet bgs at the Site. To ensure any stormwater that comes in contact with the Site is properly managed, an impermeable surface will be constructed within the entire composting area. The composting area surface will be constructed of impermeable surfaces including asphalt, concrete, compacted asphalt grindings, or another impermeable surface. The impermeable surface will be sloped approximately 1% to 2% from west to east towards the bioswale that will collect and filter the stormwater. Impermeable surfaces will be inspected frequently to ensure compliance. Measures will be taken to correct any impermeable surface imperfections that would otherwise allow infiltration to the native soils below. Detailed below is the current stormwater runoff rate: 𝑄𝑄 (𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃)=𝐶𝐶(𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑃𝑃𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅) 𝐶𝐶 (𝑟𝑟𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝑖𝑖) 𝐴𝐴 (𝐷𝐷𝑟𝑟𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝐷𝐷𝑃𝑃 𝐴𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃) 𝐶𝐶= 0.2 𝐶𝐶2 𝑦𝑦𝑦𝑦. 24 ℎ𝑦𝑦.= 3.04 𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝐶𝐶ℎ𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖24 − ℎ𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑟𝑟 Semper Fi Land, Inc.

Using the duration of 24-hours, the rainfall intensity constants for a 2-year storm and 10- year storm were selected from the Bulletin 70 Rainfall Distribution and Hydroclimatic Characteristics of Heavy Rainstorms in Illinois provided by Illinois State Water Survey. B. Stormwater and Landscape Waste Leachate Controls The Site composting operations only utilize the eastern portion of the property and a driveway connecting Cannonball Trail to the operations area; therefore, the western half of the property will continue to drain as it did prior to this development. Material staged outdoors will be conducted on an improved surface consisting of concrete, asphalt, or compacted asphalt grindings. The Site will be sloped to allow drainage from the composting operations to the bioswale system discussed below. Materials to be staged outdoors will consist of mulch and compost material. Runoff that contacts material and equipment stored outside is managed through the constructed bioswale and settling basins. Drainage within the operations area of the property will be directed to a 250’ bioswale that will collect, infiltrate, and filter runoff from the site. The bioswale will include native plantings that aid in the filtration process through microbial activity removing any contaminates generated from the composting process. During large storm events, water will be diverted to an under-drain system below the bioswale to collect water and transport to the settling basin as depicted on Figure 3. The settling basin will allow for additional storage, infiltration and settlement/treatment of stormwater runoff that is not treated from the bioswale. Excess water from the settling basin will be utilized for dust control operations as well as composting moisture. This allows for a 100% recycling operation of stormwater. A. Site Development Runoff Calculations Semper Fi Land, Inc. Bristol, Kendall County, Illinois Application for Permit REV – 0 April 17, 2017 Sustainable Environmental Solutions www.deiganassociates.com 8 The Site development will consist of a 0.3 acre impervious asphalt pad. To be conservative, calculations have been based on 1.2-acres of impervious surface for the composting area. Detailed below is the stormwater runoff rate with the impervious surface used in the composting area.

The Site is relatively flat, with an approximated drainage slope of 0.3%. Using the duration of 24- hours, the rainfall intensity constants for a 2-year storm and 10-year storm were selected from the Bulletin 70 Rainfall Distribution and Hydroclimatic Characteristics of Heavy Rainstorms in Illinois provided by Illinois State Water Survey. B. Bioswale Sizing The bioswale has been designed to infiltrate 50% of the largest designed storm event. Stormwater that falls onto the impervious site operations area will be directed to the 250’ linear bioswale located along the east portion of the property. The impervious surface within the operations area will slope approximately 1% to 2% from west to east to allow for drainage into the bioswale and eliminate any non-stormwater discharge from the Site. The bioswale will be 250’ in length, 5’ in width, and a minimum 12” in depth. The bioswale will be backfilled with the permeable soils and planted with native species to promote infiltration. Test results from a Site permeability tests reveal a hydraulic conductivity of 1.33 cm/sec. Side slopes within the bioswale will be no greater than 3:1. Native plantings will include grasses and a couple of varieties of flower plants for a visual aesthetics. The Semper Fi Land, Inc. Bristol, Kendall County, Illinois Application for Permit REV – 0 April 17, 2017 Sustainable Environmental Solutions www.deiganassociates.com 9 bioswale will be sloped approximately 0.3% to 0.5% longitudinally to allow for flow of excess filtered stormwater to the settling basin. To accommodate large storm events a perforated pipe will be placed approximately 12” longitudinal below ground surface that will drain into a sedimentation basin discussed in the following Section. In the event the bioswale becomes inundated with stormwater, water will move to a 12” diameter perforated pipe embedded in open graded aggregate wrapped in filter fabric to transport to the settling basin. This pipe will be flat in order to encourage infiltration for stormwater cleansing before leaving the pipe to the settling basin. 𝑠𝑠 (𝑝𝑝𝐶𝐶𝑝𝑝𝑃𝑃 𝑠𝑠𝐶𝐶𝑃𝑃𝑑𝑑𝑃𝑃𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟)= �4 𝑄𝑄10 𝑦𝑦𝑦𝑦.𝜋𝜋 𝑣𝑣 𝐴𝐴𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑅𝑅𝑑𝑑𝑃𝑃𝑠𝑠 𝑣𝑣𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟𝑅𝑅𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝑖𝑖 (𝑣𝑣)= 5 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅/𝑖𝑖 𝑠𝑠 (𝑝𝑝𝐶𝐶𝑝𝑝𝑃𝑃 𝑠𝑠𝐶𝐶𝑃𝑃𝑑𝑑𝑃𝑃𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟)= 11.8 𝐶𝐶𝑅𝑅𝐶𝐶ℎ𝑃𝑃𝑖𝑖 C.

The bioswale has been designed to infiltrate 50% of the largest designed storm event. The volume of stormwater storage required for a settling basin, if 50% of the stormwater is infiltrated in the bioswale and 1,650 ft3 of stormwater can be stored is 5,164 ft3. A conservative approach is to allow for excess storage in the basin.

A detail of the settling basin layout and storage calculation is shown on Figure 6. C. Additional Permitting Requirements Construction of the facility will require a NPDES Permit for Construction Site Activities from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. A Notice of Intent for General Permit will be filed no later than 30 days prior to commencement of construction and will include a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

With a voice vote of all ayes the motion carried. PETITION 17-09 Semper Fi Land, Inc. (Robert Velazquez) – Special Use Request to Operate a Landscape Waste Composting Facility at 1996 Cannonball Trail Approximately 0.5 Miles South of Galena Road in Bristol Township (PIN 02-15-101-003) Mr. Asselmeier provided a summary of the request. The petitioner desires to operate a landscape waste composting facility at the subject property. The petitioner already possesses a special use permit to operate a landscaping business at the property; the petitioner lives at the subject property. The property is zoned A-1 Agricultural District. All of the adjoining properties are zoned Residential and are inside the boundaries of the United City of Yorkville. The Land Resource Management Plan calls for the area to be Rural Residential. As part of the previous special use permit, the petitioner had to dedicate a certain amount of land for trails. The petitioner has dedicated the requested land. The Highway Department requested that the special use plat classify this area as right-of-way instead of trails only. The EcoCat consultation was terminated and the LESA score was 169. Ms. Andrews stated that the proposed use would not prevent the property from reverting to other agricultural uses in the future. The petitioner agreed to follow the standard noise regulations of 65 dBA during the day and 55 dBA during the night as measured at the property line. The petitioner will have a sign as listed in their business plan. The petitioner agreed to have all vehicles and equipment that could be placed inside during non-operational hours be placed inside one of the buildings. WBK provided a letter regarding the petitioner’s stormwater plans. The petitioner is working with his engineer to address the items mentioned in the letter. ZPAC Meeting Minutes 5.2.17 Page 2 The requirements for landscape waste composting facilities were discussed and the petitioner agreed to all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The petitioner agreed to cease operations at 3:00 p.m. and not have Saturday hours. Mr. Rybski discussed soil and water sampling and host fee as they relate to this type of business. Mr. Rybski felt that the regulations were scalable and that the proposed business should follow the same regulations as other landscape waste composting facilities. The water and soil sampling should occur at least once per year; the Health Department would conduct additional sampling if complaints arose. The Health Department also conducts site visits. For the other company, the weights are reported with the payment of the host fee. The petitioner would like to cap the amount of material at 26,000 cubic yards per year. Based on the proposed host fee of $0.80 per ton, the petitioner would have to pay about $6,700 per year. The petitioner agreed to track type of material and quantity measured by size of truck. The conversion factor is 3.3. The petitioner agreed to pay the same host fee on a monthly basis. Mr. Davidson asked what the petitioner was going to do with the yard waste. Mr. Velazquez responded he would process everything in a tub grinder and make into a compost or mulch for reuse on projects. Mr. Davidson requested a bond be created to fund a cleanup of the site if the petitioner abandoned the property. The petitioner agreed to research bond information. Mr. Davidson also requested a limit be placed on the amount of material be placed on the property. The petitioner agreed to cap the height of piles of material at 20 feet. The petitioner hopes to start operations in 2018. Mr. Langston asked where the petitioner would get his material and if the business would cause an increase in traffic on Cannonball Trail. Mr. Velazquez responded that the majority of material would be generated from his business, but that he would accept material from other sources, small landscape businesses. He plans to have a maximum five (5) people onsite and does not anticipate an increase of traffic on Cannonball Trail because of his business. Discussion occurred regarding fencing and buffering. The petitioner agreed to install evergreens along the east, south, and southwest portion of the property. A gravel road shall be installed this fall. Mr. Corneils expressed concerns regarding odor. There was no definitive answer to this concern, but Mr. Velazquez believes that the size of the operation will minimize odor. Mr. Walker asked about the size of trucks going onto the property. The petitioner responded that material be dumped at his shop and then hauled to the site. Mr. Rybski made a motion, seconded by Ms. Andrews, to forward the petition onto the Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation subject to the following conditions: 1. The special use plat shall be amended to show a dedicated ROW instead of a trail. 2. The host fee shall be the same as the fee paid by Green Organics ($0.80 per ton until November 30, 2019 then the fee goes to $0.85 per ton starting December 1, 2019). 3. The host fee shall be converted to per cubic yard. 4. The host fee shall be paid monthly. 5. The petitioner shall create a form to track deliveries and quantities. 6. Sampling of water shall occur at least one (1) time per year. 7. Sampling of soil shall occur at least one (1) time per year. 8. The petitioner shall supply a bond to Kendall County to fund the cleanup of the site. The petitioner shall research dollar amounts for the bond. 9. No piles of materials shall be stacked higher than 20 feet. 10. The petitioner shall plant evergreen trees along the eastern, southern and southwestern property lines for screening. 11. The petitioner shall maintain the existing tree line. 12. The petitioner shall replace trees as quickly as possible if they die or severely damaged. ZPAC Meeting Minutes 5.2.17 Page 3 By a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. UPDATES OF PETITIONS Mr. Asselmeier reported that the Delaney Gun Range Case will go before the PBZ Committee on May 8th and the Pagel rezoning case will also go before the PBZ Committee on May 8th. The request by DKR Group on Walker Road was withdrawn by the petitioner. REVIEW OF PETITIONS THAT WENT TO COUNTY BOARD Mr. Asselmeier reported that the rezoning of 790 Eldamain Road from A-1 to M-1 went to the County Board on April 18th. Because Yorkville filed a formal objection, eight (8) members of the County Board were needed to approval the proposal and seven (7) members of the Board were present when the item came up for discussion. The proposal will go before the County Board on May 2nd. OLD BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS None ADJOURNMENT Ms. Andrews made a motion, seconded by Mr. Guritz, to adjourn.

As part of that meeting, the County invites representatives from municipalities to share their current and future planning projects and goals. While this sharing is voluntary, staff has always participated, being that the City is the County seat, in providing a brief but compact summary of planning related matters happening in Yorkville. At the February 25, 2017 meeting, staff provided a summary of building permit activity, current projects under construction, status of current development incentive programs, planning goals and the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan Update. Following our presentation, staff was asked by members of the Kendall County Planning Commission (KCPC) about our current Comprehensive Plan land use designation along Eldamain Road and the lack of notice the individual members of the KCPC, and the County as a whole, received during the preparation and approval process. In response to the question, staff reminded the KCPC we had attended the prior two (2) annual meetings and provided updates throughout the process. We also informed the commission that the 24- month long comprehensive planning process included stake holder meetings with the County, public outreach, public hearing processes, public notices, City website updates, a separate project website and coordination with the two (2) previous Kendall County Senior Planners throughout the process. Additionally, the County’s Senior Planner position sat vacant for about a year and there was no staff counterpart for the City or the City’s consultant to contact. However, staff did speak with the County’s planning consultant Mike Hoffman of Teska, the former County Administrator Jeff Wilkins and County Highway Director Fran Klaas as part of the Comprehensive Plan update. At the conclusion of the meeting, city staff provided a copy of the adopted Yorkville Comprehensive Plan Update to the County’s Planning Commission and offered to speak with any KCPC member who had any specific concerns regarding the plan anytime via telephone, email or in-person. Staff has learned during a subsequent Kendall County Ad-Hoc Zoning Ordinance Committee meeting held on March 22, 2017, Senior Planner Asselmeier was asked to prepare a comparison of Yorkville’s Future Land Use Map with the County’s Land Resource Management Future Land Use Map. Attached for your review is the memo prepared by the County staff and a supplemental map illustrating the areas where differences in future land use occurs. Staff Comments Staff has reviewed the approximately ten (10) incidents within the 70-square mile planning area the County has identified where the City of Yorkville’s 2016 adopted Comprehensive Plan Update differs from the Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan.1 The original Kendall County Land Resource Management Plan was adopted in 1994 with select updates/amendments occurring between the years 1 http://www.co.kendall.il.us/wp-content/uploads/PBZ_Sections_1-4.pdf Memorandum To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Jason Engberg, Senior Planner Date: May 24, 2017 Subject: Yorkville/Kendall County Future Land Use Plan Differences 2 1997- 2011, with the updates to specific areas called out in the attached map prepared by the County happening in the following years: • 2001 - Changes made to reflect new planned development regulations, municipal annexations and new plans and economic development opportunities. • 2003 – Changes to include a more detailed plan for the Northern Three Townships (Little Rock, Bristol & Oswego Townships).2 • 2004/2005 – Changes to include a more detailed plan for Fox and Kendall Townships.3 Additionally, subsequent changes were also made in 2008 to the Kendall County plan, at the height of the housing boom, to include supplemental plans such as the Fox River Corridor Plan.4 Specific Differences Generally, the concerns of land use differences listed in the memo prepared by Kendall County indicates land being designated for commercial or mixed use business in their Land Use Resource Management Plan but identified as Suburban or Estate Residential in the Yorkville Comprehensive Plan Update. Suburban and Estate Residential future land use designations in the Yorkville Comprehensive Plan Update intend to have single-family homes are the primary use. However, it is noted in the Land Use Strategy of the Yorkville Comprehensive Plan Update (page 80) the approach of the future land use designations was to establish a balance between land uses to ensure a stable and growing tax base and realistically address the changes experienced in the local and regional economic conditions. Although, the Yorkville Comprehensive Plan land use map is a guide to future development and zoning decisions, it is also meant to be adjusted and changed when circumstances warrant a change in planning direction in a given area of the City. Staff has prepared the attached map to illustrate the location of the identified differences cited by Kendall County on the City’s adopted Future Land Use Map for your review and consideration. As part of our analysis of Kendall County’s map and memo, we did note that there were descriptive errors in cardinal directions (#4 listed as northeast should be northwest; #5 listed as southeast should be southwest and #6 listed as southeast should be southwest). Kendall County staff has indicated that they will only use the information gathered in their memo to advise future county petitioners of the differences that exist between the two (2) plans and that they should contact the City of Yorkville prior to the submission of any application seeking land use related entitlements. It was further stated that Kendall County staff is uncertain if a committee of the County or the Kendall County Board itself will request changes to either document in the future. City staff will be available at Wednesday night’s meeting to discuss this matter in greater detail with the Planning and Zoning Commission and answer any questions from the members. 2 http://www.co.kendall.il.us/wp-content/uploads/PBZ_Section_06.pdf 3 http://www.co.kendall.il.us/wp-content/uploads/PBZ_Section_07.pdf 4 http://www.co.kendall.il.us/wp-content/uploads/PBZ_FoxRiverCorridor.pdf DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING, BUILDING & ZONING 111 West Fox Street Room 204 Yorkville, IL 60560 (630) 553-4141 Fax (630) 553-4179 MEMORANDUM To: Ad-Hoc Zoning Ordinance Committee From: Matthew H.
