Additional Business Page 1 of 4 UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE DRAFT THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2002 7 P.M. In Attendance: Committee members Mike Anderson, Richard Sticka, Joe Besco; Mayor Art Prochaska; City Administrator Tony Graff; Joel Strassman, from Rueteger, Tonelli and Associates; and Tom Grant and Phil Knierim from The Windham Group. Minutes Minutes from the February 21, 2002 meeting were approved without revision. Minutes from the April 18, 2002 were approved with one revision on Page 2. Tabled items Items regarding PC 2001-18: The Highland: Wyndham Deerpoint Homes petitioners and the Downtown Facade Program were tabled. Comprehensive Plan Update Joel Strassman representing Rueteger, Tonelli and Associates presented an update to the comprehensive plan. Mayor Art Prochaska said the Plan Commission voted to move the updated plan to the City Council provided that comments from Plan Commission member Andrew Kubala were met. Prochaska said he will meet with City Planner Mike Schoppe and City Administrator Tony Graff on Friday to discuss the changes. Prochaska said the comprehensive plan should reflect current zoning unless a statement is being made. There also is a disclaimer on the map and in the text that says all areas may not reflect what the current zoning is, Prochaska said. Strassman said all municipalities are required by the state to have a comprehensive plan. Yorkville consistently uses its plan as a statement of policy and vision for the community, he said. This update goes even deeper than previous updates to reflect how development should look and fit in with the city, he said. In the update,names of residential development categories were changed to more functional classifications, Strassman said. The new classifications include an estate, a suburban and a transitional classification. The estate classification allows for up to 1.5 residential units per acre; the suburban allows for 1.5 to 2.25 units per acre and the transitional allows for up to 3.5 units per acre. Strassman said the allowance doesn't mean a developer can come in with the maximum density. Density can be increased up to the limit if developers provide additional provisions such as more open space, he said. Page 2 of 4 There also is an urban neighborhood classification which covers existing areas. There also are classifications for industrial which includes heavier industrial uses; office/research/industrial which allows lighter industrial uses as well as office areas; public/quasi public; parks and open space; and future land use areas. Strassman said the plan was expanded to the south and southeast for potential future land use areas. The updated plan and map also include continued preservation of streams and other environmental areas, Strassman said. Also, focus was placed on development of the north and northeast area which are comprised of transitional areas adjacent to Montgomery and Oswego. The plan keeps the existing industrial areas and created office/research areas which in some areas can serve as a transition to residential neighborhoods,he said. Also, a site for the proposed Metra station is included as well as plans for a possible alternative site. Strassman said the plan doesn't show any high-density areas which allow for up to eight units per acre. Prochaska said that in certain spots, the city used to allow for up to 12 units per acre. He said there are some developments already zoned for the higher density use, but they haven't been built yet. Strassman said the transitional area allows for pockets of development that could approach eight units per acre but only within higher master planned communities, such as communities near commercial areas. Strassman said the institution of design guidelines is perhaps the biggest change in the plan. The plan calls for certain design guidelines to be followed in concert with new development. The draft of the text refers to Yorkville's semi-rural character or identity. Some of the guidelines address that and could be used as a basis for new ordinances, Strassman said. Prochaska said the update of the plan might come back to the committee once some revisions are made. What he sees as transitional and what he reads don't reflect the same thing, he said. He also wants to clean up some other things in the plan so that they are more accurate. Sticka asked about green space on the land use plan draft. Strassman said it reflects what the city intends to serve as a corridor for commercial development. Prochaska said they were put in place to serve as larger setbacks so that the commercial development doesn't jam the highway. Prochaska said in addition to meeting with Schoppe and Graff,the plan will be shown to the Yorkville School District, Fire Protection District and the Sanitary District before final consideration will be given to the plan. Page 3 of 4 PC 2002-10: Hopkins Corner Tom Grant and Phil Knierim presented an update to the S & K Development and Morrissey and Company, petition to re-zone from Kendall County A unincorporated to Yorkville R-4 General Residence District with a PUD and B-3 Service Business District for property at the northwest corner of Greenbriar and Route 47. Grant said Schoppe conducted a review and the Plan Commission gave approval to the concept plan. He said the Plan Commission asked that the western edge of the commercial area of the development line up with the western edge of the commercial area north of the property. He said the concept plan also has been to the Yorkville Park Board. Grant said there is a significant line of trees at the edge of the property where the park board requested a pedestrian easement. He said the fmal design has to be worked out. He said a tree count may be needed to see what trees need to be taken out to make a trail. The project will feature a commercial area, townhomes and single-family residences and would fall under the commercial and transitional categories. Grant said the Illinois Department of Transportation has already approved a right-in right-out on Route 47. One cut would be made on Greenbriar for an entrance/exit. Knierim said the original plan called for two cuts into the residential area but the Plan Commission didn't like it. Sticka said that since the developers are requesting a PUD and no PUD agreement has been made, what steps the committee should take. Grant said the development is at the concept stage and is looking for approval of the concept. Sticka asked if the property falls under transitional in the updated comprehensive plan draft. Graff said actually the property falls under commercial in the new plan and the transitional use would be a down zoning. Committee member Joe Besco said the development seems like it would be a good transitional use. Knierim said the developers plan to submit a preliminary plan next week. Graff said a PUD agreement needs to be drafted. Once that is completed, he expects the annexation and zoning hearing to be held in July. In response to a question by Sticka, Grant said they would prefer to have a shallower area for commercial, but the Plan Commission insisted on a larger area. Intergovernmental Agreement with Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District Graff reported that the Fire Protection District is looking to install lock boxes in certain areas so that it can better respond to calls. In some instances the fire department has responded to calls only to have the buildings locked up with no access available. Page 4 of 4 Sticka expressed concern about too many people having access to the boxes. However, Graff said not many people would have access. He said the fire department would call it in and a radio signal would activate the lock boxes. The schools and nursing homes already have lock boxes, he said. Sticka said its okay with him and suggested the agreement be brought to the Committee of the Whole. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by Dina Gipe 06/03/03 TUE 16:30 FAX 4669380 E.E.I.

However, we have not yet received copies of this material and will defer comment until we have had a chance to review same. • Soils Report • Kendall County Soil & Water Conservation District Natural resource Inventory Report which was applied for around March 4, 2003 as evidenced by a cover letter from SPACECO, Inc. of that date. Our comments are as follows: General 1. No part of the development is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area as identified by FEMA based on the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map 170341 0020 dated July 19, 1982. However, the recently received flow certification from IDNR for the Rob Roy Creek Flood Study indicates that a large portion of the Caledonia Subdivision is below the Base Flood Elevation for Rob Roy Creek. SPACECO, INC. is presently verifying the topographic datum used for this subdivision and will be in contact with our office to confirm the elevations shown in the Preliminary Engineering Plan. This potentially will have a very significant impact on the proposed land plan. 2. The response letter indicates that a traffic study is being prepared and will be submitted when complete. 3. The response letter indicates a drain tile investigation is being conducted and will be submitted when complete. 4. The response letter indicates that further wetland investigation is being conducted with the results to be submitted when completed. 5. All other comments in our review letter of May 1, 2003 have been satisfactorily addressed or it has been indicated that they will be addressed as the planning process continues, in accordance with our recommendations and your concurrence.

(630) 896-2501 Aurora, IL 60506 Fax(630)896-3228 May 28,2003 MEMORANDUM To:Tony Graff,City Administrator—City of Yorkville From:Mike Schoppe-Schoppe Design Associates Re:Caledonia—Preliminary P.U.D.Plan We have reviewed the Preliminary P.U.D. Plan prepared by Spaceco Inc. dated 5/17/03, and the Preliminary P.U.D. Landscape Plan prepared by Landvision dated April 30,2003,and provide the following comments. General 1. The annexation agreement covering this property allows for a residential land use with a maximum density of 4.0 du/ac. The proposed development complies with the allowed land use and density standards. 2. The annexation agreement does not identify the design standards such as lot size,setbacks,architectural standards, etc. Therefore,as part of the review of this proposal, these standards need to be established. A recommendation from the Plan Commission and a policy decision by the City Council will need to be made on lot sizes which are below 12,000 s.f. or even 10,000 s.f. We feel that a development with lots smaller than 12,000 s.f.can be done successfully if proper design standards and controls are in place. We have recommended in previous revisions, and continue to recommend,that in order to help the City understand how this type of development would look, architectural plans and elevations should be prepared and submitted as has been done on other recent P.U.D. developments. A streetscape elevation of a typical street frontage showing the architectural elevations of 4 or 5 homes should also be submitted. These plans will enable the City to better understand how this type of development will look with narrower than normal lot widths and side yard setbacks. These plans need to be submitted as part of the Preliminary P.U.D.Plan review process. Preliminary Plat I. The proposed lot widths are primarily 65'to 68' wide with side yard setbacks proposed to be generally 6.5'to 6,8' (10%of the lot width). The streetscape elevations will better illustrate how these proposed design standards would work. 2. Outlots A,B,D and E should be labeled as"To be owned by Homeowners Association". Outlets C and D should be labeled"To be conveyed to the City of Yorkville". 3. There appears to be a small area of existing vegetation around lots 99 and 100. The vegetation should be described and shown on the plans. 4. The NW 1 maps show a small wetland in the area of lots 42, 43 and 44. Any jurisdictional, isolated or farmed wetlands should be delineated and shown on the plans. 5. The land cash requirement for parks is approximately 7.97 acres, It was our understanding that the site to be dedicated for parks was to be Outlot F,which would include the area south of Lots 53 through 47. The area table indicates that Lot F is 5.337 acres. However,the area appears to be much larger. The limits of Outlot F need to be clearly delineated. 6. Some of the existing utilities within Outlot F may need to be modified or relocated in order to provide a suitable park site.

Stormwater detention is required, and is indicated on the concept plan. • Water, sanitary, and storm sewers are available to the property and should be able to provide adequate capacity and/or pressure. • A recapture would be due to the city for water and sanitary sewer improvements constructed along Route 47. There are also recapture agreements in place for Greenbriar Road and the Greenbriar Road watermain, but I believe that this property may be exempt from them. • Sidewalk should be required along the Greenbriar Road frontage. Inland is obligated to extend this sidewalk to Walsh Drive as part of the Sunflower Estates development. • Streetlights were installed at 600' intervals along the north side of Greenbriar Road as part of the Greenbriar Subdivision development. The intent was to have other developers along Greenbriar Road add lighting at a later time to achieve 300' spacing. We should require one or two lights be installed as part of this development. • There should be two parking stalls for each dwelling, one of which must be covered. This project is scheduled for review at Plan Council on May 8, 2003. 06/05/2003 15: 16 FAX - 630 553 5764 DANIEL J. KRAMER [2002/015 pc) to STATE OF ILLINOIS ) June 5, 2003 )ss.

Section 8-12-5 This section would work well for an individual lot but not for multiple-lot development. Due to the length of time it takes for an entire subdivision to build out, we would certainly have a scenario where the guarantee expires before most trees are one year old, and possibly even before most trees are planted. This section also seems to state that we will not reduce the letter of credit for trees, but keep it at 110%until it expires. To a developer planting dozens or hundreds of trees this would seem like an unfair burden. The mortality rate for parkway trees is perhaps in the 20% to 30% range, but the proposed revisions assume that every single tree will die. While this is possible, it is very unlikely. Lastly, the revisions refer to "inspection and approval by the City". Parkway trees are currently considered for acceptance the same as roadways, sewers, etc. Do the revisions allow for acceptance of trees by City staff rather than City Council? If you have questions concerning these items, please see me.
