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 Page l of 3 Q Apr . 8 . 2004 1:49AM No .4483 P. 5/6 • 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. Pap 2of7 Apr . 8. 2004 7 :49AM No.4463 P . 6/6 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. CC: Joe Wywrot, City Engineer Liz D'Anna, Deputy Clerk nv3oft 4 Monday - April 26th - 6:30 pm Park and Recreation Administrative Offices Riverfront Park 301 E.
