Citizen’s Comments None
New Business
1. PZC 2017-03 DKR Group, Inc., and Keith and Kathleen Warpinski have
filed an application with Kendall County requesting an A-1 Special Use on
6.9 acres to operate a landscaping business for the purpose of building a
6,000 square foot storage building as part of that business operation. The
real property is located at the north side of Walker Road, approximately
0.31miles east of IL. Route 47 in unincorporated Kendall Township.
Mr. Asselmeier gave an overview of this application. The original intent was to put a
smaller building on the property and then build a house. The applicant came to the
County Building and Zoning meeting and it was found there were already three homes

on the 140-acre property. Therefore it is not in compliance with the current 40-acre rule
allowing only one residence for every 40 acres of agricultural zoning. In addition, the
desired business building with a 35-foot setback would not be in compliance with the
required 50-foot setback. The building will be shifted to meet that requirement. The
County offered approval with several other restrictions listed by Mr. Asselmeier. This
matter will move to the March 26 County Plan Commission and to the County ZBA in
April.
Mr. Engberg said staff had no objection to the Special Use. The property is not
contiguous with the City and is compliant with the Comp Plan.
Chairman Harker commented that there were many restrictions. In reference to the
restriction on the number of employees present, it was noted most of them will be there
to only pick up equipment and none will be present in the winter. There are no plans to
grow stock or store equipment on this property as the main business is in Joliet. It was
stated there is also a weight limit of 6 ton on Walker Road in the spring.
