Re: Rob Roy Falls
We have reviewed the Master Plan for the Sexton Property prepared by Yas/Fischel Partnership
dated March 3,2004. The following information is provided to assist you and the Plan
Commission in providing conceptual input to the developer on their Master Plan.
General
Sexton Companies is investigating the feasibility of developing their 274-acre property as a
mixed use development, including commercial, office uses, 15,000 s.f. single-family lots,
12,000 s.f. single-family lots, 5,000 s.f. single-family lots, townhomes, and condos. They axe
currently looking for conceptual input from the Plan Commission, Park Board and City Council
on their Master Plan. Formal action by the Plan Commission is not needed at this time.
However, the Commission members should be prepared to discuss and provide comments on
the following:
1. The appropriateness of the commercial land use, its size and location within the plan
2. The appropriateness of the residential land use,the density, and the products being
anticipated
3. The open space system
4. The overall style and general character of the development
5. Other comments that the Plan Commission might have

Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan identifies the portion of the site fronting on Route 34, from the east
property line west to approximately 400' west of the Sycamore Road/Route 34 intersection as
20—30 acres of commercial. The balance of the site (244—254 acres) is identified as
Suburban Neighborhood which allows for single-family development with a gross density
range of between 1.5 and 2.25 du/ac. The plan also identifies the Rob Roy Creek corridor as an
open space corridor,which will include the Rob Roy Creek Regional Bike Trail.
Existing Land Use
The property is currently zoned A-1 in Kendall County. The surrounding land uses and zoning
are as follows:
• North: Agricultural zoned A-1 in Kendall County
• East: Agricultural zoned A-1 in Kendall County
• South: Route 34 runs along the entire south boundary of the property. South of
Route 34, starting at the east property line and going west, is approximately 1300'
of vacant land zoned office, then approximately 1200' of vacant property zoned
B-3, then, extending west to Diehl Farm Road, is a multi-family portion of Fox Hill
zoned R-3, from Diehl Farm Road west to Rob Roy Creek is the single-family
portion of Fox Hill zoned R-2. The property west of Rob Roy Creek is undeveloped
land zoned B-3.
• West: Agricultural zoned B-3 in Yorkville
Transportation
The City's Transportation Planning Report calls for Beecher Road to be extended south
through this property as a Major Collector and to line up with the planned extension of Beecher
Road through the Fisher Property on the south side of Route 34. This road extension has been
accommodated very well in their plan. The Transportation Planning Report also identifies a
Minor Collector extending from their east property line and heading west before curving south
to align with the signalized intersection at Sycamore Road.
Schools
All of the residential portion of the property is within the Plano School District. We anticipate
the need for one elementary school to serve this portion of the School District. The City is in
the process of discussing this issue with the Plano School District.
Open Space
Based on the City's Land/Cash Ordinance, the open space requirements for this site is
approximately 13.7 acres. The Park Board is scheduled to review this development plan at
their April 26th meeting.

Utilities
In discussions with City Engineer Joe Wywrot, this property is in Pressure Zone#1 and will
receive water service from the planned extension of an existing 12" water main located at the
west edge of Kylyn's Ridge subdivision.
This site is planned to receive sanitary sewer service from the future Rob Roy Creek
interceptor, which is currently being planned,but not yet built. Another alternative to provide
sanitary service may be the existing Fox Hill interceptor located in Fox Hill, or a new line
planned to be built,to serve the Fox Hill Unit 7 commercial and residential property along
Eldamain Road.
If you have any questions,please call.
